DR.. James =. Smith then gave a sketch
OF John Smith from the time he was an
impetuous boy until he the bold adven-
turer. gave the touch Of life 10 the Vir-
ginia Colony. His words were like the
true strokes Of a scuiptor's chisel. HIS

relief against the evidence OF this cen-

was a factor. Or. Smiths speech was
fully appreciated by his attentive audi

REV. WILLIAM LUNsFORD.

doubtless had much TO do in the forma-
ton Of his sterling qualities as a man
and the choice OF his calling or entrance
into the ministry
The subject u this sketch, when q boy,
attended the public schools Of the colinty,
and always won distinction in his classes
Upon finishing the publc-school course
he entered the University OF virginia,
where he soon graduated in the law
course, after which he came to Salem and
opened a law office IN conjunction with
Rev. d. 3. Strouse. who has also given up
his law practice and entered the eyange-
listlc field.
WAS PROMINENT AT THE BAR.
After few years OF practice in Salem
Mr.. Lunsford removed to Roanoke, where
he soon gained prominence at the BAR
and as to his ability rs Il lawyer, stood
in the highest rank Of his profession. AS
IAN orator and smooth, ready speaker. few
men I'm Southwest Virginia enjoyed the
distinction Of being his equal. He follow
ed his chosen profession until 1876 Wheh
he gave up his lucrative practice and en-
tered tho ministry. The church Of his
childhood and early training claimed him,
and in the following year he was ordained
as a Baptist minister.
He was Immediately called to the pasto-
church Of stanton, where he served with
great ability until he decided TO take ad-
vantage of course at the Baptist The
oloeical Seminary, az Louisville Mr..
Innsford is a man of wide learning. He
has been a close student al his life ana
IL can be safely asserted that but few
men IN the min!stery, considering the
age of the man, have 50 vast store
house Of general knowledge or are bet
ter equipped TO do the Network which
he now enters upon.
About twelve years ago Mr.. Lunsford
was married to Miss Mamie Preston,
the accomplished daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs NJ. d. Preston. Of Ninton. Five
children have been born OF thia union,
one of whom died about year ago.
\ FINE FIELD, TOO.
Mr. Lunsford will come to perhaps as
good field as there IS in the city or
State This church, given up short
while ago by DR.. Dill after a pastorate
OF six prosperous years. is IN fine condi-
ton. The members. numbering about six
hundred. are not as rich. perhaps as
some members Of other Baptist churches
in the city but all OF them are I'm very
good circumstances, and they are united
and loyal. The poor list Of the church IS
by no means a long one. The church
Is well located and in a populous district
to draw from and amongst a people
dominated by Christian influences. Mr.
Lunsford succeeds in the pastorate such
men as G. f. Williams Cdrst PASTOR, G.
p. Scott. r. II. Pitt ID. j.. 0wice PASTOR,
j. 5. Dill, d. D., and others The tradi-
tons Of the church are noble and offer
an incentive for yet greater than has
ever been done The people among
whom Mr.. Lunsford is 20 labor are loyal
and true. and they will hold up his hands
! and stand Loyalty by him. they did Dr..
DIN throughout his ministry. He need
have no fear on this score. The church
has. in a word, q proud history behind
It, aud a life of unspeakable usefulness
yet unfoded.
