Carlton Eversley, 14 years the pastor of Dellabrook Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem, is an exceptionally intelligent, a rather polemic and combative, and an ever questioning man of the cloth. Likely, one can find as many in the city who loath him as love and respect him. But no critic or admirer of him has more authority than his teacher and preacher, who also taught him how to preach. The Rev. Dr. Gardner C. Taylor, pastor emeritus of the 12,000-member Concord Bap tist Church, in Brooklyn. N.Y., Eversleys hometown, knows him better than most. Sa\s Taylor of his protege, "he has always been intellectually edgy and curious and thorough: that's what I like about him."

"It indeed his confidant and friend Dr. Martin Luther King was the drum major for peace and Please see page 13 Taylor said about Eversley, "//< has always been intel lectually edgy and curious and thorough; that's what I like about him."
