MR., GARLAND FOR
FIELD SECRETARY
The Wei Known Drummer Evan

Rev. Mr.. Thompson.

Mr.. r. D. Garland, the well known
drummer evangelist. was last night cleo
ted by the Baptist State Mission Beard
to the Office OF field secretary recently
made vacant by the resignation of Rev.
c. j. Thompson.
The action of the board was hearty and
unanimous, and it is earnestly hoped Mr..
Garland will accept, though SO far as
With on. the subject. He was chosen by
the Nominate Committee out OF a large
number of persons whose names had been
suggested.
Mr. Garland is not an ordained min
lister, but as lay evangelist. his labors
have been crowned with great success.
He is we'll known throughout Virginia
and adjoining States. both as a travelling
man and an evangelist. He lived IN
Richmond for many years, and Travelled
for large wholesale houses. He long gzrep-
resented the house OF John H. Gresham &
Co., on the road, and later trave4ed for
the Whittie-Snydor Company. IA few
years ago he felt the conviction that it
was his duty to, preach the Gospel, and
since that time he has devoted himself
solely to eVangeliSt-c work. There have
been hundreds of conversions under his
preaching. During last year he held very
successful meetings at Fulton and
Emanuel churches in this city.
It is probable that if Mr.. Garland ac-
cepts the position of field secretary, he
will move his family to Richmond from
Keysviile. where they now reside.
