Years in aighIandtown.- Rev. DIR. ].
Wynne Jones has had twenty-five years OF
interesting and profitable work at Abbott
Memorial Presbyterian Church, at Highland
town, Baltimore county. This service, con-
sidered in connection with the four years be
makes him the oldest Presbyterian minister
in point of service in or near Baltimore city.
Few ministers have found field for life
work which has offered more opportunities
for effective service or has made greater de-
mands on their time and talents. DR.: Jones
is the kind Of man cut out for hard work. He
never had any other kind. Born in Wales, he
came when a small boy with his parents to
this country and settled in the open lands Of
Wisconsin. While mere youth he fought all
through the Civil War in company of infan-
try from Columbus Wis. After the war was
over he went to work digging in the street in
Cincinnati.
A love of religion had been born in him,
and he entered enthusiastically into the &C.
Invites of the Central Church of that city and
planned to earn the money to go to college to
study for the ministry. His earnestness i'm
pressed wealthy woman, who upon her death
left him money enough for his education. He
went to Princeton, having Henry Van Dyke as
classmate besides other men who have won
distinction by amassing millions or in other
less spectacular ways. From the Princeton
Theological Seminary DR.. Jones went to Gin
cinnati and later to Venice, Ohio. Next he
was called to Tuckerton, Nj. and after few
years there he came to Tome Street Church,
Canton, where his real permanent work began.
In Canton and Highlandtown DR.. Jones is
revered by persons of all classes. By bis free
reading ro0nasstwhich he established In 1880,
and by the influences which it has had upon
many children who otherwise would not have
had an opportunity for learning and educa-
ton open to them he has started many young
men and women on the upward path. In this
way he gave three young men the intellectual
and spiritual start that led them into the
ministry.
The library now occupies three large rooms
and is in charge of a librarian, who keeps the
rooms open from to 10 P. M. daily. There
were more than F2S, 900 attendants last year.
The results of this work have been so great
that many persons outside the church give
annually large sums forts support. DR.. Jones,
through his own personal efforts and the
agencies of the church, is doing much to i'm
prove the conditions of home life of those
whom he thinks need such improvement.
The scope of his church goes far beyond the
mere giving of religious and spiritual help to
the actual members.
