RcU. b. q. MdRdrd preached at the
Goodson Baptist Church at II \. NJ.
and p. NJ. last Sunday to crowded
congregations. We did not have the
pleasure of hearing him, but we learn
he preached most excellent sermons
For two years he has had charge of
College Hill Church in the city of
Lynchburg, which he has literally
built up, by bis efforts, to position
which ranks it with the oldest and
first churches in the city. The occa-
sion Of his visit here at this time is u
call to the pastOrate of this church. -
We do not know whether he will ac-
cept. but only the condition of his
health has caused him to entertain it
at all, as his Lynchburg congregation
have no idea of conserving to his leav-
ing them if they can prevent it. But
the very qualities that haye endeared
him 10 the nynchburg people make
mis- acceptance au absolute necessity to
the church here. Aside from his con
coded ability as preacher, his social
magnetism and great activity in the
pastoral relation are such that he al
ways builds up church. Here in
Bristol he 10 absolutely revered. There
is reciprocal flash about him that
never fails to suggest pleasant inter-
view, a suggestion that is not disap-
pointed. That he would at once set to
work efficiently the machinery of the
Goodsou Church, we do not doubt,
and we hope the congregation will
make up a handsome sum sufficient to
retain him. He has gone to Panther
Springs on a short trip and if his
health should improve while here we
think lie may be induced to remain.
At present the Lynchburg congrega-
ton have merely furloughed him.
