From Bar to Pulpit.

Rev. Z. L. Wall, whose great success as
pastor of the Methodist church at Mil
bridge is causing comment, is going to
Garrett Biblical institute, Evanston, Ill.
Mr.. Wall is, in the real sense, self-made
man. He worked his own way through
the schools, graduating from Hebron
academy as class orator in '97, and from
Bates college in '02 He was manager of
the baseball team in his senior year. He
entered the University of Maine law
school and graduated in '05, as one of the
three speakers representing the law de-
partment. His examination for admis-
sion to the bar was most satisfactory, but
instead OF beginning the practice of law
he began to preach Immediately and was
accepted on trial in the East Maine con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal church.
He did this in obedience to long and per-
sistent feeling that this was to be his life
work. His success at Patten and Mil
bridge confirms this belief. After grad
uating from Garrett very few men will be
so thoroughly fitted for life-work as Mr..
Wall. His success is assured.-Bangor

Mr.. Wall has many friends in Hancock
