call from the session of the church at
Lebanon and of the trustees of Cumber-
land university, to accept the combined
duties of pastor and dean. His 1abors
in this dual office make such modern his
tory that they need not here be recount
ed. Under his supervision the seminary
has very greatly enlarged it's teaching
force and has increased its term from
two to three years, and Its curriculum
has received large additions. ~
While student at Lebanon he was
humble and happy dweiler in Camp
Blake" the somewhat primitive board
ing club house of the university, of which
institution he was the '4housekeepern for
one session at least He was then, as he
still is, practical joker, and many and
convulsively funny are the stories old
Camp Bakers tell about Jim" Hub
bert, as his school mates. many Of them,
yet affectionately call him.
His vacations were always busy. One
vacation was spent holding revival meet
ings in Arkansas, one as supply of the
Mayfield. Ky, pulpit and two supplying
DR.. E. G. McLean's pulpit in Memphis.
While in Union seminary he spent one
summer preaching at Pittsburg, where
he immediate ly succeeded the pastorate
of the late A. Templeton ID. D., and pre-
ceded the pastorate of w. H. Black, ID.
D., now president of Missouri Valley col

For more than twenty-five years DR..
Hubert has been the chief assistant
clerk of the general assembly, and mo-
body questions his very eminent fitness
for the stated clerkship which he will
henceforth hold.
This imperfect sketch would be more
imperfect still IL 1t did not conclude with
the following story of his connection with
the office of stated clerk: In the autumn
of 1870 DR.. Hubert passed through Mem
phis on his way to Arkansas, where, with
Rev J. J. Moore now of LewiSVille, Tex,
he was to travel and hold meetings. DR..
e. B. Crisman met the young vacation
evangelist, and suggested that 1t would
not be safe to work in the malaria or
that section of Arkansas whittier he went
unless he carried an umbrella as shelter
from the torrd summer sun.
why have you no umbrella, Brother
Hubbert?" asked DR.. Crisman.
I've no money, sir, to buy one" was
the frank reply.
Thus it was that Dr. Crisman loaned
him the amount necessary to buy cot
ton umbrella. In the autumn Dr. HUBERT
returned the amount he had borrowed
writing at the same time neat note or
thanks to his benefactor.
A year later DR.. Crisman, who was the
stated clerk of the assembly. was allowed
to name an assistant, and he named
young Hubert, because" DR.. Crisman
asserted, "EIubbert wrote me note last
year about an umbrella, and, would you
believe 1.-THE dotted all his is ana
crossed all his t's,''
{ DR.. Hubert is accustomed to say,
my present position hung on an UNI
brella" Those who know him best, how
ever, think rather that he owes his sue

PERSONAL AND IMPeRSONAL.

Birmingham is noted for its large num-
Der of churches and the rapidity with
which they were built. Yet the most
rapid and effective work has been that of
Rev. r. D. Wear, pastor of the large new
church in which the assembly is being
held. He has been pastor only eighteen
months, yet he has paid debt or $30O
and built the new church at cost OF
$12, 500, nearly all of which is paid. Dur
ing his pastorate he has received fifty
new members into his church Many of
his members are among the most active
and influential citizens of Birmingham.
Rev. Dr. f. ]. Tyler, the founder of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church in
Birmingham, is present. 1t is a proud
day for him. He sees the work of his
hands established.
The delegates subscribed literally to
the daily papers and sent them Off to
their friends. In this way the good
work of The assembly will be widely dis
seminated and will do much good. The
enterprising press of Birmingham is not
the least among the inducements offered
by Birmingham to conventions.
The badges worn by the delegates have
a picture of the new church. This was az
happy idea of Mr.. Wears.
Nearly all of the pastors in the city at1
tend the sessions.
Gam Sin Quah, Chinese student at
Cumberland university, is present. He

togenarian, but is hale and hearty.
This is the sixty-sixth general assembly
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
The Cumberland Presbyterian church
has contained such noted men as Milton
Bird, D. D.; Robert Donald, Reuben Bur-
row, A. M. Bryan, d. D., and has now
such prominent men as w. J. Darby, ID.
d.; w. II. Black, ID. D.; j. M. Hubbard,
