ESTIMATE OF A PASTOR.
Rev. t. j. Ogburn Makes a
Living Speech.


During Fridays session of the
Marylrnd annual conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church at La
fayette Avenue Church Baltimore.
Correctional churah interests we're
presented i'll addresses which occu.
pied the greater part of tho day q
session.
Rev. L. j. Ogburn, of North Car.
oiina' secretary of the foreign mis-
SION board, made characteristic
address in presenting the claim of
missions upon the benevolence of
the church. The secretary is slim
and of dark complexion, including
IN his make up long and prolific
black beard. One of his first re.
marks was an allusion to this hirsute
adornment. He said that after his
visit to conference last year ho over
heard lady say she would think
more of hun if he did not dye his
whiskers. Assurance was given that
the dye was Natures own.
Mr. Ogbnrn told of some savage
tribes who, when their warriors fall
III battle feed them Oh tiger bone
soup. Some Of you preachers" he
said, in mis- nasal drawl, "eat too
much chicken and not enough back.
bone pie"
Continuing his estimate of n pas
tor, Mr. Ogburn said: "The true
pastor is general, leader, cap
tain. The preacher will show what
is in him if there is anything in him
to show. am glad that 1 have
been the best 'cussed' preacher in
North Carolina, and l thank God
for that cursing.'
"If l was yellow dog passing
through Baltimore, 1 would rather
have some boy throw brick bat ut
me-and miss than to pass along
unnoticed. Let 'em know you arc
on hand. Don't be afraid of your
people.
"The church is not here to save it.
self and to keep up with others, but
TO save the world. We had better
have only three or four true preach
ers in Baltimore and the rest in
foreign fields than to have you all as
polite as dancing masters trying to
keep off each others toes. Root hog
or die.
