The llelovrd Pantor HevlewH tbe Church Work During hih I"u torate. and Bids) HIh Flock a Feeling Farewell. As Rev. Dr. W. A. Nelson announced his first hvmn nt the morning service in the First Uuptist church yestertlay.it was evident that he would not he nhle to HRV. W. A. NIXSON, r. i. (From a l'UoUi;"lli by Limlscr .v. Irotvn.) preach in his usual vigorous style. He said that he would not attempt to give his conureKittion a sermon, but 'vould onlv give his church a farewell talk. He was utiitl to welcome manv of his friends in the audience who had made great sacrifice of personal comfort in going to church through the hitter wind and driving snow storm. The minister said it was but another manifestation ol the kindness they had so abundantly shown him before. Dr. Nelson then announced as the basts of his remarks I Cor. 2:S-5: "Ansl I was with you in weakness, and in tear, anil in much trcntliliiiK ; at d mv speech nutl my pretH-liiug was not with enticing words of ninnN wisdom, lint in dt moiislra lion of the Spirit anil of power: that your fnith hoitlil not strim) in the TviRtlom of men, but in the power ol Cod " "The tiist Sunday in February, 1H7," said Ir. Nelson, "I preached my first ser mon to you ns vuur pastor. On that tlav I took ns my text the verse preced ing the verses I have just read, and as my theme a Complete Savior. I laid down the direction of the Holy Spirit as our guide and the crucified and risen Christ as our Savior and the Savior nf II who would trust him. I love the old doctrine of 'Jesus and his love.' I do not love the new theology, but I love the old, old story not because it is old, but because it is the doctrine of mv crucified Redeemer. This doctrine I have kept fresh before vou. You remember I told vou the object I had and honed to ac complish in preaching to this people was to lead ban men to Iwcome good and good men to become better. 1 have en deavored to win the wavward for mv Master, to lilt up the fallen and the weak, to visit the widow find the or phan, to comfort the distressed and to point lost souls to a Savior. At the same time I have not failed to declare to you the whole counsel of God so far as it has been revealed to me by His Word find Holy Spirit. I have proclaimed His gosiel to you weekly, as well in the prayer meetings as from the pulpit. 1 he record ol my hve years ministry with vou is made and is recorded above: God knows I have tried to be faithful to you and to Him, As my text says, i was with you 111 weakness, etc. I have endeavored to do my duty honestly, with out oslentution and in the fear of God. Manv think the way to preach the gos pel is to show great research and erudi tion their duel object is to attract the people; Paul says he ditl not preach with enticing words ol man s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spit it and of power.' He did not try to draw the peo ple by classical music or rhetorical phrases or tlights ol eloquence; Christ was the magnet tic held up to the the people. 'If I lc lilted up I will draw all men unto me, says Christ. Like Paul when the battle of this hie is over if I can look back and say with him '1 have fuught a good light; 1 have finished my course; 1 have kept the taith, hence forth there is laitl up for me a crown of righteousness,' then I will not have lived in vain. I shall be satisfied. "Brethren, I have no higher ambition in (his worltl than faithfulness to mv Master. Hut faith that stands in the wis dom of men is not the taith my text re quires, but in the oower of God, says the apostle, 1 have tried to teach you to stand in the power of God, other wise when trouble and sorrow and affliction anil distress shall come over you your lailh will waver antl oh! brethren if your faith cannot stand the conflicts of this world, has it strength for the judgment to come? A religion that will not stand hue is not sale to risk at the bar ol God. Fortify your souls against sorrow, allliction and ad versity by simple faith and honest trust in Gtl. Brethren, 1 have tried to teach von this faith and trust, I have counseled you to promptness in my master's work. I have enjoyed liberality and honesty nutl sincet it v in all things. Zeal and ac tivity in gootl work should characterize a Christian's lile. "Constant work for mv Lord is my chief joy, antl these five years have lieen the busiest of mv lile. Since 1 have been your pastor I have made nearly or quite an average of tfteen hundred visits a yenr. These I considered necessary. The most of them were to the poor and the afflicted. My heart always goes out to them. It nuiv be a weakness with me, but I love God's poor. Hrethren, never close your hand of Christian love and charity against those who need your help Ho no circumscribe vour charities with denominational lines hut when God calls lend a helping hand. Since I have Ifccn with you we have contributed to the poor ol Asheville nearly $000 per vear in money besides food and clothing. The visiting 1 did with the study 1 was forced to do treiuently made me work Bixteen hours kt dnv ami this has been too great a tax on my constitution, but it was service for the Savior, and God hus grtntlv blessed the labors. "On the first day of February, 1887, five years ago less one month this church hud 83 memtiers. Since I became your pastor wt have received (HO members. This has not been by protracted meet ings held by modern great evangelists. but by the quiet unpretentious work of I think the better way. The contribu tions of the church have kept abreast with her other progress until her last letter to the association showed a collec tion for all purposes including her two mission Sunday schools of over $13,000. The church supports a city missionary. Too much cannot be said of this meek man of God, Brother V. I'. Southern. Consecrated and earnest he has done a great work for his Master. 1 desire to give public testimony to my apprecia tion of his consecrated lile and his worth and piety as a Christian minister, God has put the seal of his approval upon his ministry and he hus been instrumental in the salvation ot many souls. "Since May 1, 1891, we have also been supporting a missionary to China. Breth ren, I beg you never let your in terest in foreign missions !;crease. Support your missionary until your new house is completed and then add another to your work. "Dur ing the first two years of my pastorate here 1 preached in the afternoon on Sun days at Itiltmore and as a result we have a flourishing church there sell-supporting and active, God has blessed our work there also. "At Academv Hill, in northwest Ashe ville we have a flourishing Sunday school with Brother Hurnhnm ns superinten dent. Our weekly prayer meeting and school has lieen greatly blessed of God and manv souls have been saved. "West End mission has been greatly honored by the Lord. It has a house nearly completed worth $5,000. This is a very active missionary and Sunday school point and will soon develop into a body ol strong Christian workers. "We have lengthened our cords in every direction until it has become nec essary for the mother church to enlarge her dwelling and we began our new house on the comcrof Collcgeand Spruce streets find when completed will cost nearly $50,000. We love the memory of dear Brother Melke for his beautiful christian life but in nothing was it more beuutilul than in his intense zeal in rais ing funds and originating plans tor this house of the Lord. Breth ren, 1 confess I had a desire to lead you into that beautiful church, but just before we are ready to enter the Lord has laid the hand of affliction upon me and the privilege will bill to one more worthy, 1 trust. It is God's will and 1 how humbly. As to my successor, let him come of the Lord, seek counsel of Got! and his direction will be wise. "Finally, brethren, in our relation as pastor and people we have much to cause rejoicing. I recognize every mem ber of this church ns my personal friend. During my pastorate there has not been a discordant jar within the pale of our church. Harmony, good will, co-operation and brotherly love have character ized our relations. These have been five vears of the most active labor of my life, but they have been the happiest. These have been years of pleasure and vet years h aught with the greatest allliction of my life, but when llu hus made a vacancy in my heart by cubing away my loved one ! e hus filled the vacancy with love for Christ. Beside my love for the church hud steadily increased as the years have gone by until today she is dearer to mv heart thun ever before. I want Asheville to always remain mv home. God bless her people and churches; 1 love them all of whatever name or denomination, but of the First Baptist church 1 can truth fully say it it was God's will I would rather continue as your pastor than be the pastor of any other church on earth. Vou have done me well,, the world has done me well, and therefore I owe my best efforts in trying to lead the world to my Savior. May we do ull for His honor and glory. Amen." Dr. and Mrs. Nelson will leave Ashe ville tomorrow for Aiken, S. C, where they will spend a month or so, if Dr. Nelson's health permits.
