Departure for Murfreesboro.


 His departure from Murfreesboro was made the occasion of an exceptionally enthusiastic and generous manifestation of the favor in which he was held not only by his own people but by the com munity at large.
 The congregation there could not req sonably expect to be able to retain il man whose ministry had won such wide recognition in different parts of the church at large, and after refusing a number of flattering calls to larger fields. in May, 1901, with the consent of his presbytery. pr. Patterson accepted the enthusiastic call of the First Presbyterian church, Montgomery.
 In this field, as pastor of one of the most important churches in the bounds of the synod of Alabama the largest charge in the presbytery of East Alabama, at the Capital City of the state, Dr. Patterson had an opportunity to broaden the scope of his work, which he immediately seized upon with all his energies and with the enthusiasm which was a part of his very life.
 Here it was that he exhibited those rare gifts of leadership. tactful. wise, firm and yet withal sympathetic, that rendered his pastorate so successful. and bound his people to him in such tender ties.
 Dr. Patterson was welcomed to Mont gomery not only by his own people. but by singularly hearty reception on the part of his brother ministers and tle other churches of the city.
 Describing the welcome service, writ CT in the Montgomery Advertiser says; Tt was plain that the people of all de- nominations were pleased when they looked into the frank. cherry face of the young man who had been called from Tennessee to fill such an important charge and after listening to an ,I1 Patterson they were still more pleased by the ring of sincerity and candor in what he said. He then and there out lined course from which he never swerved throughout his ministry of five years. It was a progressive course, q resolve to go forward all of the time" During his administration the congrega- ton of the First Presbyterian church ex- pended approximately S100O0 in improving the interior of the church and lecture room. A handsome church organ was n- stalled but better than all this was the growth of the membership and the solid flying of the congregational life.
 Two hundred and sixty-three members were added to the church during the five years of his pastorate. one hundred and five of this number being received upor profession of faith. among the latter be- ing number of young men of great promise. It was also during his pastorate that the congregation responded to the call of the forward movement in foreign mis- sions, and in one year they more than quadrupled their offering for this cause.
 Splendid Executive Gifts.
 Dr. Pattersons splendid executive gifts were recognized by the church at large also. For nearly eight years he was member of the general assembly's execu- tive committee of foreign missions, and in Tennessee. as well as in Mississipp'. he was connected with the Presbyterial home missionary committees. A year be-

fore his death he was made chairman of
 the home missionary committee of the East Alabama presbytery. Deeply inter- ested in the educational interests of the church, he was for many years director in the Southwestern Presbyterian univef
 sity and for the past two years president of the board of trustees of the Alabama
 Synodical College for Women at Talla : dega.
 He was during his pastorate in Mont somery, a member of the board of direc
 tors of the Alabama Bible society, and for several years it's vice president
 As commissioner of presbytery in the general assembly he was recognized as a man of exceptional powers of analysis, self-control and balance of judgment. Notwithstanding his deep interest in the church and it's affairs, Dr. Patterson found time to attend to matters of pub lie interest. Montgomery and it's civic uplift was a subject dear to his heart. | man of fine common sense and cool iudg- ment his advice was frequently sought in matters of public concern and he was invariably found on the right side of all public movements.
 His first message to the commuaity al large on the occasion of his welcome set-
 vice expressed fully his attitude toward his new home, and exhibited the warmth and richness of his nature.
 Responding to the welcome that mad been extended to him, he said. "I trust you will let me become one of you ir- deed I wish to be a. citizen Of your eity 1 and be known as such. I wish 10 be q l friend and fellow worker and to he known
 as such I trust I may be permitted to
 win your respect and confidence. am l anxious for them. but more han all 1
 am hungry for youn love. More and more 1 do I realize the dependence on our hl-
 man friends, and more and more do l 1 lean on those whom God has given me Tor my friends"
 This longing was satisfied in the re- 1 sponse of the hearts of the people of l Montgomery. Year by year his circle of
 friends enlarged, and during nls last ill- ness, which covered several weeks
 streams of people from all walks of lie
 visited the manse daily induirng eager i ly for news as to his condition, and when ] he was laid to rest the congregation that
 attended the services at the church ard 1 the cemetery was composed of persons i of all conditions and classes. Fellow
 pastors, and co-workers in the cause of
 religion, members of his church. the prac- l tical business man, the lawyer, the doc i tor. all were there The intimate friends, l and those with whom his acquaintance l had been slight, but to whom his fife had
 been an inspiration toward inc higher i things. these too joined in the tribute to i the dead.
