PERSONAL MENTION.

An interesting 1acl IS that ReV, EuWll M. Poteat, late of this city, and Rev. T.. s. Samson, his immediate predecessor in the pastorate of Calvary Baptist church, are now quite near neighbors, MT. Poteat being pastor of a fine church in the city of Philadelphia and MT. Samson pastor of a church in German town. The latter place is practically a part of the City of Brotherly Love, Both have a host of New Haven friends whose memories of them are of most pleasant nature. MT. Samson since leaving New Haven has had fine pas torates in Buffalo, N. r., and Portland Me, and his present charge in German town is over a fourishing and wealthy congregation Rev. MT Ferris, the new pastor of Calvary Baptist church, en- ters upon his labors here about May l.. He comes here from a very successful passionate in TarrytoWn, N. Y. When he preached his first sermon at Calvary Baptist church there was hardly a thought among the congregation in general that he was a man whom the church pulpit supply committee had in mind as a man that might be the very one they were in quest of for the pas torate of the church. MT Ferris, It may be said, captured the church by his first sermon, for immediately there was a general desire expressed among the people of the church that he was the man to fill the place left vacant by MT. Poteat's departure. MT Ferris is a ready and fluent speaker, strong in biblical knowledge and earnest in the n,,I <pi f.. ed for all occasions. Even the young people in the church wanted him as their pastor after having heard him. he having captured them also.
