Scarborough died Nor-' ember 1, 1922 and we the Baptist pastors of the West Chowan Asso ciation desire hereby to express onr high- esteem of this noble man of God, our appreciation of his char acter and our sense of loss in his go ing. As pastors we miss him in many ways; he had lived among us for many years, identifying himself with this section by doing his life work here and refusing to go else where; he was truly a man of con victions and courage, Axed in what he believed and expressing it and living to it at all, hazards; he be lieved in the Bible, the whole of it? the Baptist interpretation of it; he was a preacher of rare gifts as the Holy Spirit clothed him with power from on high?a preacher true to the old gospel story and progressive for all that could be helpful?in the spirit of educator, in the seal of missionary, in the Are pf an evange list; he was a pastor of pastors? congenial, affectionate and easily adapting himself to the needs and best interest of all?with the young he-could play, with the middle aged he could show interest in business and with the old he could sympa thise. la the words of his nephew, he hated sin and loved the sinner. Outside of his own pastoral charges he took an active interest in the work of the association, attending all meetings and taking part when not prevented by sickness. So we miss him, he was indeed a brother pastor. - You could realise * his brotherly affection wheh he saluted yoij, when he praised you and when he found fault with you. After ;ach you loved him better. With the gseat throng of Christ ens who hAe known him, we await n# anxious anticipation our nett meeting in the happy beyond. JULIUS W, WHITLEY, E.
