Rev w. T. Green comes to Farm
vile from McKendree Church, Nor
folk. He is Of English stock, tall (six
feet, dark brunette. and weighs one
hundred and eighty. He is of good
form, with the features so well pro-
portioned that he might rightly have
the descriptive title of a handsome
man.
He speaks in the pulpit with de-
liberation, but with force behind the
weighed words. He is not without
the subtle power to dissolve his hear
ers in tears. He is much loved by
his parishioners His manner is
somewhat reserved His life is con-
secrated-a spiritually-minded man.
He is broad, liberal and catholic, yet
firm in convictions, ready with a rea-
son for his tenets, always with kind
ness in his words and charity in his
heart He is a resolute champion of
moral reforms. He fills well an hon
1rable position in the Conference.
His parents were Methodists. He
S native of Mathews county.
He lost his mother when he was very
foyng. He did not find life a bed
If roses in his youth. He was con-
,erted at the age of thirteen, under
he ministry Of Rev. A. Wiles; was
licensed October p, 1873; Joined Con-
erence the same year and was sent
