M. B. Molloy - Richland Presbytery - June 22, 1883
[Source: Minutes of the General Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, 1884, page 28]

WITH a sad heart we chronicle the fall of another veteran soldier. Another watchman has been called from his post of duty here to his exceeding great reward in heaven. Rev. M. B. Molloy was born in Madison county, Ala., February 6, 1814, and died at Spring Hill, Tenn., June 22, 1883, aged 69 years, 4 months, and 16 days.

He died of paralysis. He was taken sick on Monday, the 11th of June, and became speechless on Wednesday following. He spoke but few times after that, and even then it was with great effort. The writer visited him on Monday, the 18th inst., in company with two other brethren. He recognized us each one, but could not speak. If we could have heard him speak one word, it would have been a source of consolation to us. On parting with him that day, we each one felt that we would never be recognized by him again until we should meet in the "bright forever." And so it is; for on Wednesday following he became wholly unconscious of everything about him, and lay breathing very hard, never moving a limb or a muscle, until he peacefully and quietly breathed his spirit out into the hands of Jesus.

He had had some warning of the approaching dissolution, and spoke of it to his wife and children some six weeks before the stroke of paralysis came. But death had no terror for him. Like the faithful soldier inbred to hardships in battle, having fought many a hard battle here, he feared not the king of terrors in the last conflict. Rev. F. A. Thompson asked him, soon after he was taken sick, if he felt that the "Shepherd's arms were around him." "O, yes," his countenance lighting up and beaming with holy joy.

Dr. Molloy began preaching when he was only in his nineteenth year. He was in the ministry about fifty-one years. Of these fifty-one years of toil in the Master's vineyard, we cannot speak, and must leave it to his companions in arms--his old comrades who survive him--to speak of his life of toil, for we are not sufficiently acquainted. Nor is this imperfect sketch designed to be an obituary, but simply to give notice of his death, that other pens more able may bestow the tribute that is so justly due.

The writer made the acquaintance of this eminent servant of God in the summer of 1876, in a revival meeting at Mt. Carmel, Williamson county, Tenn., and since that time it has been our privilege to be associated with him more or less, especially for the last two years, during our sojourn and pastorate at Spring Hill. And it gives us pleasure to bear testimony to his ability as a minister of the gospel, a safe counselor, and an able physician. He was one of those unobtrusive men who never push themselves forward; modest, unassuming, yet an uncompromising advocate of the truth.

On account of his modesty, his real worth as a theologian has not been fully known and appreciated by the Church. But could the whole Church have access to his manuscripts, and be permitted to read his able treatises on such subjects as "Foreknowledge," "Foreordination," "Problem of Human Destiny," etc., then his real merit would be seen and appreciated.

That Dr. Molloy was enshrined in the hearts of his neighbors and all who knew him, the throngs that gathered around him and sought by every means in their power to alleviate his sufferings, or otherwise show their affection, abundantly testify.

But the weary watch is over now, and our venerable father has gone over the river to meet those so long gone before him. There, too, were many waiting to hail him on that bright shore as their spiritual father. Farewell, then, man of God, until the great Vernal when earth and sea shall give up their dead, and humanity come forth in immortal youth and vigor.

Dr. Molloy leaves a wife and three sons, and a step-daughter to mourn their loss, with the addition of a host of relatives and other personal friends. A wife and daughter and three little sons had preceded him to the spirit land, and were waiting his arrival on the golden shore. In my imagination I could see those little children as they hailed their father there, ready to tell him that early death had been endless life to them.

'Ah! yes, he left a host of friends on this side of the river, but met many more on that side. O, it was a grand reunion.

But what shall I say to the grief-stricken companion and sons, and other relatives and friends, who are mourning in their hearts over the ravages which death has made? O, mourning ones, go to Jesus. He says, "My grace shall be sufficient for thee."

John heard a voice saying, "Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth--from this time forth--yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."

"Servant of God, well done,
  Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
  Enter thy Master's joy."

P.S.--This sketch is written with the pen so long used by the venerable subject of this notice.
