Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-12-05
REV. GEORGE II. MFADEN.


From this field he went to Prince Edward
county, where he remained two years
The Circuit Of Gainesville was next as
signed TO him. He did a good work during
the two years OF his ministry there, and
went from Gainesville to Matthews coun-
". Twice, TO the great satisfaction Of the
people OF that county, he was returned
His next appointment was at Gloucester
Point, where he spent one year. This
brought him to his last charge before
coming to Manchester, that OF Hanover.
Mr. McFaden is a strong man and
good preacher, but his great forte lies In
his ability for work among young people.
When he entered the Hanover field an
organization Of the young people into
great working force was thought to be
possible only in a city or village. But TO
the amazement OF many, Mr.. McFaden
organized an Epworth League in three OF
his four churches. So successfully dld
he labor that to-day his country leagues
are the largest I'm the Virginia Conference.
He recognizes what a power there Is IN
a church when its young people are ac-
tive and earnest workers One OF the
first steps he will take will be to make
himself thoroughly acquainted with all
the young people, to understanding their
needs to minister to them.
