Rev. X. A. McIver, called to the
pastorate of the Loulsburg Baptist
Church, arrived with his family on
June 8, and. as was announced In the
TIMES, he assumed the pastoral re
lation on Sunday. June 4, pre&ehlng
splendid sermons to large and appre
ciative audiences.
Mr ,0. and Mrs. Mclver are native
Teiana, neither ever having seen
North Carolina before, though. Mr.
Molver has a number ot relatives. In
the state, among them being Dr. Char
les D. Mclver and Drs. J. D, and
Lynn Mclver.
They come to us with the very high
est recommendations from those who
know them beet, and especially by
Dr. Brooks, President of BftylorUui
verslty, where Mr. Mclver received his
classical, literary and scientific edu
?ri1 >"? nik awarded
both the A. B. and the A. M. Degrees
as testimonials of his thoroughness
and efficiency which is further evi
denced by the fact that, alter his grad
uation from Baylor, he waa elected to
the ccair or liiatory ajid taught in his
alma mater for two years.
In the mean time, having decided
that God had called him to a higher
work, he entered the Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary, where
he. received his theological education,,
and where he graduated on May 25,
1982; with the highest Ijonora, receiv
ing the TH.M. Degree, or Master of
Theology, a course which, along with
the other subjects, included the full
course In Greek and Hebrew.
Dr. Scarborough, President of this
great school numbering more than
seven hundred students, says that
~MT. Mclver is sound in his orthodoxy,
:.'.i -:ig in his faith in God, faithful in
the lischarge of duty, a strong preach
er, ; Sine mixer, a great soul winner,
hav... ; lead more souls to Christ pos
sibly man any other man in the Semi
nary and one of the most popular and
beloved men in the Seminary.
The Moody Baptist Church, -where
he had been pastor during the years
while in the Seminary, is aa enthusias
tic in its estimate of Mr. McLver as
Drs. Brooks and Scarborough all
agreeing that he as a man and minis
ter, as a preacher and pastor, and as
a wise master builder for the kingdom
ranks among the best. Not having
taken any special training in evange
listic methods, he lives in an evange
listic atmosphere, manifesting a pas
8ion-for_ souls at all times ? in the pul
pit and In the home and whenever and
wherever opportunity a fiords ? his
chiefest desire being to win souls for
Christ.
Mrs. Mclver, in like manner, comes
to us from her far-a-way home, crown
ed with the choicest of those attributes
(bat constitute a ministers moBt val
uable assets: "a strong woman," eduv
cated and an educator of rare culture
and refinement; a splendid singer
and teacher of voice in the Seminary
Training School, where she had re
cently graduated. Dr: Scarborough
pronounces her as one of the best
singers ever trained in that great
school, and better still, as one of the
most wisest and most consecrated and
eifiefent christian workers he knows.
