WILSON, D. D. Memorial of Former Pastor aad Citizen Adopted by Session of First Pres- byterlsa Cbnrch. I The session of the First Presbyterian church, of this city, on yesterday adopted the following very beautiful memorial of the Reverend Joseph B. Wilson, D. D., whose death at Prince ton, N. J., occurred last week : In March 1874, the Bav. Jos. B Wilson, D. D., accepted the unan imous call of the congregation of this church, and, resigning his Chair in Oolumaia Theological Seminary, en tered upon the duties of the pastorate about the first of April. t A man ; of commanding presence, engaging manners and kindly disposi tion, and, at that time, in the full vigor of bis physical and mental pow ers, he at once gained the i confidence and love of his congregation, and soon became the recognized leaner, both In Presbytery and Synod. His relations to the Session were cordial and affectionate, as a natural result of the mutual consideration, confidence and esteem - existing be tween him and each member. Tfte and interests of the congregation w&icn engaged the Session , were so pervaded by the influence of his genial nature that the monthly meet ing was looked forward to as an oc casion of social pleasure, las well as serious business. And, even now, surviving the departed years, many Incidents of these meetings linger in the minds of those who took pag In them, binding the past to the prase t in sweet memories of kindly fellow ship of friends, some of who are fallen asleep, but the most part remain unto this dsy. After a fruitful ministry of eleven years, Dr. Wilson, with the deepest sorrow, as expressed In his letter to the congregation, resigned his charge to assume a burden laid upon him by the hand of the Lord in the Chair of The ology in the Southwestern Presbyte rian University of Clarksville, Ten nessee. Closing his ministry here on the first of April, 1885, he again, and now for the third time in his life, as sumed the arduous duties of a Profes sor. This third call to the work gives evidence of the esteem in which he was held as a teacher. A better test of his usefulness was in the diligence and faithfulness with which he in spired those whom he taught. But, by far, the best testimonial to his worth is still to be found in the lives and work of those who passed under his hand, and, having received the im press of his noble nature,; went forth to make the world better, and to ex tend the kingdom of Christ on earth. The remaining years of his active service for the Church were given to ibis Chair, with the exception Hf preaching, as occasion offered, and to the duties pertaining to the office of stated clerk of the General Assembly, which position he filled about thirty years. He was chosen moderator of the General Assembly of Louisville in 1879. In all the positions he held, and in all the relations be sustained to others, his work was characterized by thor oughness and a deep sense of his re sponsibility to do his best, coupled with an abiding trust in God for re sults. ... While faithful and efficient In all things, it wss perhaps as a preacher of the gospel of hope and recovery from sin that Dr. Wilson rendered his best service o the church and mankind. As a maker of sermons he ranked easily among the first. His language was choice and chaste, exact and force ful, conveying to others, in earnest and accurate statement, his conception of the great doctrines of faith and hope and love which governed his own conduct. His economy in the use of words enhanced their value, both' to himself and others. His discourses abounded in axioms, which compelled the attention of his hearers, and found apt illustration in bis own life of ser vice and trust. A few brief extracts from one of his published sermons give some idea of his method of thought and expression, as well as the ground and simplicity of his faith. Defining happiness, he says: "It is being what we ought to be, right with ourselves and right with God. And it is to brine about this su preme rightness that we are exhorted to put our trust in the Lord." Then, justifying the grounds of this trust, he says: 4 Ii is trusting in a word that was never broken, in a wisdom that never was baffled, in a watchfulness i that never has been thrown off its guard, in a will whose decrees of good have ever been, and must always be, sovereign; and in a we 1 Tare that is as certain as eter nity. It is trusting the only being who can destroy for us our sins, and dry up for us our sorrows, and bestow upon us a happiness compared with which the utmost blessedness of earth is as a dying lamp is to. the liv ing sun. It is trusting for peace of heart while living, for strength of heart when expiring, and for wealtu of heart when the treasures of Heaven burst upon the view. It is trusting God as God is in Christ." In these words we have a glimpse of the grounds and character and end of that faith which made him an efficient and successful teacher, a wise coun se.'olr, a great preacher and, above all, an humble Christian; the same faith which sustained him during the years of weakness In which he was denied the privilege of active service, and which gave him patience and cheer fulness under great suffering, which he "endured as seeing Him who is in visible." while "he looked foe a city which hath foundations, -whose build er and maker is God." On the 21st of January, 1903, his quest, which had become a longing, was rewarded, when he put off this earthly tabernacle and entered into "a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens." The chronicles of Heaven are very different from those of earth. Here, there is j ly when a man la born into the world, and his parents, with fond hopes of life of usefulness aad honor, enter his name upon the family records; there, the angels rejoice when he enters through the door of re pentance into the household of faith, and his name ia written In the Lamb's Book of Life.. Down here, as he passes through the gates of death, he leaves sadness and sorrow, and a deep sense of irreparable loss; up there, as he enters the heav enly Jerusalem, he meets an innumer able company of angels and the spirits of just men made perfect, and Jesus, Mediator of the New Covenant, and finds eternal gain in the "rest which remaineth to the people of God." Rejoicing in the confident assurance that he haa entered into that rest, and gratefully acknowledging the privi lege of . having- been - associated .with him in some portion of his life's work, which Is his best memorial, we record these words as an imperfect expression of our estimate of the character and worth of our departed friend. - Y. M. C. A. BANQUET Dinner Given Last Evening by Directors Complimentary to Ladies' Auxiliary. ADDRESS BY DR. BLACKWELL. The Affair Oae of the Most Enjoyable ia Association's History Dr. W. C Galloway Master of Ceremo-. ales The Response. The Board of Directors of the Y. M. C. A scored a magnifioient triumph last night in its elaborate-banquet in honor of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Association, a noble band of women who have worked in season and out of season for the social- and religious welfare of the young men of the city. The dinner was given in the spaclr ous double parlors of the 'Association f BMildiitrf"htoh wim .siepsa mom charmingly decorated nor more brilli antly lighted than for the occasion last night.. There, were more than 135 guests present and all were mos hospitably and graciously received. The menu embraced the choicest viands of the season, which were serv ed in most delightful manner. Dr. W. C. Galloway, the president of the Association, presided and when . the guests had been ushered into the beautiful dining hall at 9 o'clock. Rev. Dr. A. D. McOlure asked a fer vent blessing. Dr. Galloway as master of cere monies then made a neat and graceful little speech of welcome, reviewing the history and work of the Ladies' Auxiliary and paying that organiza tion a pretty tribute for its noble work and accomplishments. There are few more fluent or graceful speakers than Dr. Galloway and he was at his best last evening. Mrs. O. C. Covington, president of the Auxiliary, responded to Dr. Gal loway in appreciative terms and spoke of the pleasure that it had given the ladles to lend a helping hand to the Board of Directors in its great work among he young men of Wilming ton. The dinner which the guests last evening enjoyed was second to none in the history of the Association. The principal address of the evening was that in behalf of the Directors by the Bey. DrCalvln 8. Blackwell, which was in an exceedingly happy vein and which was received with great ap proval. Mr. H. . B. Saunders, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who is conducting a Bible Conference at the Association, entertained the assemblage cf Atsocia tion workers with an interesting talk of work among boys, which he , has made a special study and practice. Dr. Blackwell's address was as fol lows : That rib romance away back yon der in the garden was only the organ ization of a ladies auxiliary for a young man. All the Young Men's Associations I ever beard of had the "Ladies Aux iliaries." The fact is they couldn't keep house without them. Some men may be able to do without houses, lands, carriages and books, but what civilized man can do without cooks? Some soldiers may fight without can nons, guns or darts, but wise men dare not fight the battle of life with out mothers, wives, sisters or sweet hearts. (1) The Patriarchs' Y.M C. A. had Its auxiliary, in which were such famous ladies as Mother Eve, Mrs. Noah, Sarah, the wife of Abraham, so beauti ful that the old fellow was half the time so foolish with jealousy that every time he introduced her to a strange gentleman he had to lie about her identity; Bsbekah, the sight-unseen, courted and accepted, bride of Isaac; Leah and Bachel, the fair sis ters for the love of whom Jacob toiled fourteen love-sick years. Mrs. Lot and her daughters quit the auxiliary of the Patriarchs - when Lot became a "rash king," and they entered Sodom's 400, the goal of their social ambition and their ruin. (2) The Law Giver's Y. M. O. A. auxiliary had Pharaoh's daughter for its chief patroness, but Jethro's daugh ter, who became the bride of the young man Moses when he wss only about fifty years old. and his old maid sister, Miriam, were the chief workers. Miriam was the leader of music and almost everything else, the assoclational fusses included. She was one of those active, energetio women, who keep everybody on the move. They are fine women. I don't see how the world could get along without them. They can stand anything but quiet they'd I rather have a quarrel than quiet. Then when that kind kiss and make-up they are so sweet. (3) The Judges' Y. M. C. A. Aux iliary: Old Caleb's pretty daughter Achsab, .the bride of Capt Othneil; Jeptha's daughter, the girl of the con secrated life, about whose fate hangs the mystery of pathos; Hannah the praying mother, who lived with her noble son Samuel; Bahab, the rare gem snatched from the alums of Jeri cho; Butb, the dutiful daughter-in-law and fair young widow, who had the enterprise to use the association to get herself a second husband, and De borah, the woman with a will of her own, who tore victory from the hand of defeat when all the men were cow ards. " (4) The Y. M. O. A Auxiliary of the Kings: Abigal, the beautiful dis couraged widow, who succeeds at last Esther, the good queen of a bad king. The widow of Shunan, the hospital matron, the Florence Nightingale of her time. The Queen of Sheba,'the fairest among women, whose head waa not turned by money, and whose soul could not be bought by a higher title. The house of the mother Of John Mark is the place of the first prayer meeting, and Dorcas heads the first sewing society. Lois and Eunice, the first Sunday, school teachers, with Timothy as a pupil, and Euodias and Syntycbe as the first church workers at PhiUppi. But time would fail me to tell of ."the -beloved Persis," of the wise .woman who "taught Apollos the way of the Lord more perfectly;" 6f the "devout woman of Berea who were Greeks and of honorable estate," and who were Paul's ."helpers In the Lord." " These all, with others, formed the auxiliaries of other days. But no better were they than these who are our yoke-fellows in the Lord. THE JOLLY ELKS' MINSTRELS. Performssce at Academy of Music Last NIrht the Hit of the Sessoo-The Parade la Afternoon. The Elks' Minstrels held the boards at the Academy of Music' .last night and afforded an evening of amuse meat for a largo number of people. The first part a gorgeous roof gar den scene was, perhaps, the most pleasing feature of the performance. The funny end men, the jolly jesters, the clever interlocutor, Maj. W. F. Robertson, the warblers and the buck anil wing dancers all home talent did catchy little stunts and made local hits that thoroughly captivated the audience. " v ..f.' - The scenic effects were good and were enhanced no little . by the signal and other flags of the good ship Polana which, were, kindly-loaned by that prince of good fellows and master of the vessel, Capt O. H. Holttum The grand opening overture, supple- mgnteff- by Hollow bush w Omhestiat was indeed a grand affair and was fol lowed by rapid-fire amusement of a most ; wholesome character. Julius Taylor made a great hit with "Billy Bailey, Won't You Come Home t" Mr. O. E. Moss followed with an admirable rendition of the ballad : "I'm Wearing my Heart Away for .You,", with chorus by a quartette consisting of Mr. Moss, Mr. W. H. Molina, Dr. W. W. Harring ton and Mr. A T. Parmele. Mr; Lacy Hunt in "Mr. Dooly" was bewitching and Mr. Lenn in the charming ballad, "Down where the Cotton Blossoms Grow," was rendered " so artistically and in such a splendid tenor voice that he received a warm encore. "Then I'd be Satisfied with Life" was a bunch of local-hits by Frank Tur rentinethat kept the audience roar ing. Mr. J. E. EUingsworth in "Down in the Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea", gave evidence of a cultivated voice and magnificent talent "In the Good. Old Summer Time".bv Bob Gwaltney wss "out of sight" and caught the au dience where it was hard for them to turn loose. He responded to an en core with a parody on the piece, hav ing a local application which was overwhelmingly applauded. The buck and wing dancing by Messrs, Ed. Reilly, Ernest Wilson and Willie Daniels ended the first part amid shouts of applause. . The olio for the most part waa fine. Mr. Henry Angel, in his impersona tion of the old time "cullud" parson was perfect in his make up and dialect Mr. James Cowan in a marvellous act of juggling and baton twirling gave -evidence of the professional and long and careful training. Zannetti, the man pf magic, was the third number of the otiand-PercIno, King of the Air, closed the performance with an atrial turn on the trapeze, that was daring in the extreme and as good as haa been seen here. The performance was given under the management of Prof. C. W. Hoi lowbush aad waa a credit to his pres tige as a director. The parade yester day afternoon was creditable and was witnessed by hundreds of people.
