Dear Sir: , It may be that some of the readers ... ry-.A fool on int.Tsi. ff the Warren xvcv - our movements, so preliminary to some other items concerning my pas torate of the Ridgeway Circuit I win tax your patience wren a, xcw mra concerning a rheumatic preacne Ills better half. On the 18th ot February wiie anu x, accompanied by my brother, Hugh T. Hornaday, of Laurinburg, left the Maxton parsonage for a trip to Rich mond. Kind friends had arranged to convey us from Maxton to Pembroke in an automobile so that there would be no change of cars. As the auto mobile was driven by a handsome young widower, with a charming young lady by his side, and as the roads were good, the trip to' Pembroke was really greatly enjoyed. From Pembroke to Richmond we found it a little wearisome, but on. schedule time we drew up to the beautiful new union station, where we were met by our son-in-law, G. D. Stephenson, .with an automobile and conveyed to his home en Montrose Avenue. So many of our good friends, among them our chil dren, advise that I try the virtues of the treatment at Hot Springs that I have about decided to do - so."" But preliminary to such a trip I must pick up a little extra strength; so I am tak ing.a course of medicine front nwhich'i' hope to realize benefit sufficient to patch me up for the trip to Hot Springs, which I hope to take within the next week or ten days. So far I have not been able to discover any special improvement, but I am living in hopes. Having devoted so much space to my own personal affairs, I will try to be somewhat brief about additional reminiscenses concerning my pastorate at Ridgeway. Several of your readers have assured me in one way or another that they enjoy my scribbling, and as I enjoy it my self, I may continue it for a short while. When I went to the Ridgeway Cir fsit as pastor, the following brethren of the Ridgeway Church held official position in the church and were there fore members of the Quarterly Con ference: H. B. Hunter, Steward and Trustee; W. B. Fleming, Steward and Trustee; Dr. T. P. Jerman, vSupt. of the S. S. and Trustee; B. D. Moore, Trustee; F. H. Cheatham, Trustee. During all of my ministry of thirty- l'0 VPnro T v.,t i it- ful o never Knew a more iaini- servant of the church than H. B. nter of the Ridgeway Church was. 'wing my four years pastorate of that charge Brother Hunter was not a young man, but he very rarely ever Qsed a Quarterly Conference. In collecting the cur -f u; t TT think he surpassed any steward I have r.'. t ver Known. Some one said to him in presence one day, "Brother Hun ier you will ride five miles tn r.nllAnt tVT61 fr y0Ur Pastor: 1 should Sep you would rather pay it your re v oter Hunter very promptly P leJ' "So far as the quarter is con ned I would, but that would not be gating the other party fairly." This tement from this devoted servant chu I ChUrCh and of Christ thru the th i presented the correct view of ?r! Whole question.

He writes he is well, getting cn fine and expects to be home sometime. passed away. , The stricken father and mother bore up beautifully in this great sorrow. . Mr. and Mrs. Baxter were numbered among our appreciated friends during the years we spent at Ridgeway. I recall the fact th&t the first time I ever heard the name of Theodore Roos evelt was from the lips of Mr. Baxter. Sittong on the platform of the depot one day with a New York newspaper in his hand he called; me to him and asked me if I had been reading "about this Mr. Roosevelt5 who was creating such a sensation in the great metrop olis. I told him I had not. He then showed me the paier. and under great scare-headlines there was an account of a row that was going on between Mr. Roosevelt, who was at that time police , commissioner and a great num ber of professions! politicians on 'the other- side. Mr. Roosevelt was mak ing a fight for he nest government in the city in which he finally wonouti but it precipitatecT a contest that be came of national importance. I re member that Mr. Baxter said at that time, "If the young fellow wins out it will pave the way to the highest posi tion in the government." I saw noth ing in his prophecy at that time, but as every one who reads these lines know it came to pass, j During our four years in Ridgeway Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Mabry and family were; our nearest neighbors and we have never had better anywhere. They were not members of our church, but their kidness could not have been into themore uniform if they had been.
