During his pastorate here the membership of the church has been greatly increased and the house of worship has been sub- stantially enlarged and improved. Rev. Hurt is not only only one of the most brilliant young ministers who has occupied this pulpit but is an energetic worker in every move ment for the upbuilding and de- velopment of the city.
