OLDEST MINISTER in EXISTENCE
Rev. N. F. Clarke, 81 Years Old, Rides
Ten Miles Each Sunday Over Rough
Roads in His Masters Work.--.Tax
Delinquent Lists VIII Be Very Large
oldest Preacher in Existence.

With the weight of 93 years rest
ing lightly on his shoulders, Rev. N.
L. Clarke, of Newton county, the
oldest preacher in active service
in the United States, and perhaps
in the world, continues to ride ten
miles each Sunday morning over
the roughest country roads in Mis-
sissippi to deliver a sermon to his
little congregation. Over sixty
years have been spent by this ven
cradle clergyman in the work of
preaching the gospel tc humanity,
and yet he is more energetic and
vigorous than many men who have
reached only half hrs age. DR..
Clarke does not appear particularly
proud of his unique distinction of
being not only the Oldest preacher
in existence, but also the oldest in
point of active service. He wears
his laurels very modestly, attribut-
ing his longevity to an implicit be-
lief that tie Lord is not yet ready to
call him from his labors IN the vine
yard, and so long as mental and
bodily strength will permit him to
do CO
