His spiritual and educatiOna work in this city command the admi ration of every one who has any knowl edge of it's thorOughness and earnest ness In our opinion no man evel filled the Baptist pulpit in this city with more capabilitv and force and wt do not hesitate in saying that some o the brightest thoughts ever expOupde( before religious congregations in thi: city were the product of his mind The cause of Christianity was nevel more vigorously championed than by
 this able young divine. and we hope his new surroundings will be congenia and that the work in his new field vii be pleasant and productive of mucl good. TIE. TIMES joins his man, friends in wishing him happiness ant
