To see and hear him is no doubt to
hear and see one of the most worthily
celebrated of modern apostles. Two
weeks later, the equally distinguished
DR.. Patton whose heroic labors and sac
rifices in the New Hebrides are known
throughout the world, is to be at the
First Presbyterian church. The Green
Ridge church has arranged with the
First that on May Goth, the First
church congregation shall be welcomed
at Green Ridge in the evening to hear
DR.. Taylor and on the subsequent COM
ing of DR.. Patton, the Green Ridge
church will in the evening meet with
the First church, so that the two con-
gregations shall have the privilege of
hearing both of these honored and
noted men. There are few who are
aware of the services of these heroes
to the church and the world but will
wish to hear them.
