It is not as large or rich as some, but its people are the best people, the hardest work ers, the most loyal, devout, evan gelical and efficient people he ever knew. The choir is the best he ever heard. It is not piaidy but it is as good as any high-priced quartet. As for the session, it is all right, and as for the preacher, “he is great," “strikes twelve every time," “sound,” “eloquent,” “up-to date,” “a hustler,” “always doing the right thing at the right time,” Remembering that the broth er was just as enthusiastic about a former pastor we asked how they compared, only to start a new fiow of zealous commenda tion. “You 'could (not compare them—the best two men I ever knew.” We asked how the church and people contrasted with the church, a country church, to which he formerly belonged. They were differ ant*AS could Jbe, hut he did notj knoW which was better. A few days later the broth er's pastor came in, and we asked as to his work, and partic ularly about the brother. “The Lord sent us a host,” he said, “when he sent him, In fact, the pastor was as enthusiastic about the brother as the brother was about the pastor, and on visit ing the church we found that their spirit pervaded the con gregation. Of course the church is a success. The members tell people that it is. They advertise it all over its field in the most optimistic terms. The communi ty understands that the preach er is worth hearing, that the prayer meeting is a spiritual treat, and that the young peo ple’s meeting and Sabbath school cannot be neglected without loss. We like this brother’s spirit. He is not an impulsive, boyish enthusiast, but a solid man past three score and ten years, busy with ordinary affairs, but never too busy to think of, pray for and talk up his church. He re minds us of Carey, of whom it was said, “His chief work was to lead men to Christ, but to support himself he cobbled shoes.” We have known others like him. The pastor is right. One such man is a host. The church is fortunate that has such a man. The church is doubly fortunate which, with such a man, has a pastor who appreciates him, and whose people mutually appreciate and speak well of and co-operate with each other. Rev. and Mrs. W. R. Mayber ry, who for the past two years, have lived on Martin Street, near Johnson C. Smith Univer sity, are preparing to move into a recently purchased home in Washington Heights. IN MEMORIAM.
