AS ASSOCIATE PASTOR
REV. L. L. KNIGHT WITH CEN
TRIAL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Rev Lucian L. Knight will be installed
as the associate pastor of the Central Pres
byterian Church, Sd and I streets north
west, at the service tomorrow morning. Mr..
Knight is young and vigorous, and will
doubtless prove one of the most popular
pastors of the city. His long friendship for
Rev. A. w. Pitzer, pastor of Central Church,
and the fact that he has preached at the
church several times in the past, and at
these times has met many of the members
of the congregation, has made him well
known among the congregation.
Some time ago when the work of the
congregation became too heavy for DR.. Pit
zer and an associate pastor was spoken OF
the thoughts of those engaged in the con-
ference was at once directed toward Mr..
Knight. Communication was Immediately
established with Mr.. Knight with the re-
suit that he accepted the call Of the session.
Mr. knight was born in Atlanta, Ga, in
1870, and after graduating from the Boys
High School of Atlanta became student
at the University of Georgia, which is 10
Gated at Athens. He was graduated and
given the degree of bachelor of arts. Later
he accepted a position on the Atlanta Con-
stitution, one of the oldest and foremost
newspapers in the south.
After rising to the position of exchange
editor on the Constitution Mr.. knight aided
i'll organizing the Atlanta Westminster
Presbyterian Church. which began with
membership of sixty-nine, and now has one
of over 400 persons. He was responsible for
the raising of the greater portion of the
money for the building of the church edlfce,
and now the congregation has advanced
so that it has q church building valued at
$780, 900. The Sunday school is one of the
largest in Atlanta, the infant class having
$50 members.
About this time Mr.. Knight decided to
study for the ministry, and after resgnlng
his position upon the Constitution entered
the Theological Seminary at Princeton,
where after he had completed the courses
together with other work at the college,
he was given the degree of master of arts
Ten years ago Rev Mr.. Knight was mar
ried to Miss Edith NJ. Nelson of Atlanta,
and they have two daughters.

church in the midst of a population which
was not theirs. Such a position was q
hindrance and a encouragement, but not
altogether so. By them as an organic
unity God gave the gospel to Ireland, and
by them the reformation. By them all
over Ireland he nourished a creed whieh
was not superstitious. an order which was
not slavish, a laity who were not gagged,
a patriotism whose hands were not rec
with Irish blood, a concern for learning
which had not invented excuses for de-
nouncing every effort to enlighten Irish
people.
