the Southern Baptist Theological SEM
mary in Louisville. Ky. in 1895. His
first passionate thereafter was in BAL

upon his ministry through a period
of FIVE years The church received
several hundred into membership and
added galleries around the entire
building in order TO accommodate the
congregations.
In 1900 Mr.. Wicker was called to
the pastorate of the First Baptist
church, Trenton, n. j. This is one OF
the largest churches in the State and
the main auditorium has seating
capacitv Of 1909. From the open
ing service the building was crowded
and often people were turned away.
When he offered his resignation the
church unanimously declined to &C,
cept 1t and offered every inducement
within their power to retain him IN
the pastorate. but Mr.. Wicker felt
called to the field or evangelism and
SO in 1906 he commenced evangelistfc
work During the last five years ne
has held large and successful meetings
all over this country with our best
churches.
He has travelled extensively in the
L.
times. ON two occasions he has trav-
eled through Palestine and proposes
to go again at no distant day. He
loves the lnnd of the Lord and finds
nothing more helpful than trip to
the Holy Land. His last pilgrimage
! was made during last spring,
, Mr.. Wicker has had n number OF
calls back to the passionate during his
evangelistic labors, and could have
located in the most desirable fields
of the North. but none of them ap-
pealed to him. He Is surprised him

famine in Germany. and the poor peo-
pie suffered f.om hunger. A rich
MAJ who loved children sent for
twenty of them and said to them:
In this basket there is a loaf OF
bread for each of you. Take it and
come back again every day till the
famine is over. will give you a loaf
each day
The childran were very hungry.
They seized the basket and struggled
to get ct the largest loaf. They even
forgot TO thank the man who had
been kind to them. After O. few min
utes of quarrelling and snatching for
bread. every one ran away with his
loaf except one little girl. named
Gretchen. She stood there alone at
a little distance from the gentleman.
Then. smiling, she took up the last
loaf, the smallest of all. and thanked
him with all her heart.
Next day the children came again.
and they behaved az badly as ever,
Gretchen. who would not push with
the rest, received only a tiny loaf
scarcely half the size Of the others.
But. when she came home. and her
mother began to cut the loaf, out
dropped SIX shining Going OF Silver.
oh. Gretchen exclaimed her
mother. this must be mistake. The
money does not belong To us. Run
as quick as you can and take IL back
to the gentleman.
So Gretchen carried IL back: but,
when she gave the gentleman her
mothers message, he said. "No. no,
1t was not a mistake. l had the sill
Yer baked into the smallest loaf in
order to reward you. Remember that
the person who is contented to have
a small LOAF rather than quarrel for a
larger one win find blessings that ara

TIC church was organized in May
1893. From her motherly arms have
gone out many children and she is
known as tho mother of churches
ana the mother of preachers" Fifty
years ago this historic church stood
in the best residential section of our
city. for Richmond at that time was
largely Church Hill." The conn
muuity has always been and VIII
always he a fine residential section but
the drift in the city's growth towards
tn. West End has made Leigh Street
church large contributor to the
never churches in the growing end
OF the city. Many of the very best
citizens OF our Commonwealth have
gone out from this church. In this
way Leigh Street church has done
large amount of missionary contri-
buting as well az by gift of money.
Dr. Edward b. Pollard, now profess
sor in Grocer Seminary. went out from
this church and in note few days
ago to the pastor he says: Never LETT
Leigh Street cease TO lie the mother
OF preachers" 1t is noteworthy that
no less than 20 preachers have gone
out from Leigh Street church. Some
have gone into foreign lands while
others occupy the most prominent
pulpits in this country.
! The present membership Is upward
of eight hundred and is energetic
and enthusiastic.
Recently the church decided upon
extensive improvements and these
are now under way When the audi
forum Is completed something like
$4,000 viii have been expended. The
