The Kew. George w oinitn conuucteu
the services, assisted py BISHOP
William s. Anderson, OF Cnattanoosa'
who delivered the eulogy, ana Blsnop
Berry, of Buffalo. The Rev. Dr. Will
lam III. Morgan, or the Centrai Ndethou-
ist Church, took part In the obseQuies.
The Rev. DR.. Morgan said:
1T has been allotted to me to speak
to you Tor rev moments Inns al.er
noon concerning Bishop Spellmeyer as
a pastor in Newark. When Dut zS years
of age he became pastor OF Central
Methodist Church, following the bril-
liant DIR. Hare. On the first Sabbath
morning of his pastorate, as the omciai
men of the church gathered about MIN
at the<close of the service, he said to
thefil If l am to succeed here at all,
YOU men must do some mighty pray
ing, He blessedly succeeded that full
term.
civ of
returned to Central Church at the
earnest request of the membership. The
character of the church had at that
fine begun to change, and the work
was of a wider scope. But again the
san,e signal success.
"After five years of a pastorate in Cal
vary Church. East Orange, where he
met conditions entirely different from
those of Central Church, and where he
was universally loved, he was again
ret,,rned TO Central Church, which by
This time had become a downtown
church. with all the downtown prob
lems He faced conditions such as he
had never met before, and met them
as a master For five years he labored
successfully.
aAt the end of that term he went to
sRoseville. where he had four years of
eminent success, and from RoseV1lie TO
the church in which we now are. From
+hs nastorate of this church he was
,s,lented to the ep;scopacy.
~ is one thing to remain as pastor
of a church for a long term of years
70 change with changing conditions,
and TO adapt your policy and your
methods to the new needs: 1t is an
entirely different thing to serve
,,h,,rob one term. and then. after years
have interyened. to return and find it
radically changed, and to be able to fit
into the changed conditions success
f,,ll,, 70 be as acceptable to the congre-
~ t;,r and 10 do as good work in the
lsst, term as in the first. This is unique,
80 mis- is nreeminently true of Bishop
cna,,n,ever in his relations to Central
Methodist Church. AS pastor he was
+horanah in all that he did-thoughtful,
snyanathetic. devoted and faithful in his
