A Grand Old Man menorsd.

At the recent meeting Of the Gen.
eraI Assembly of the Presbyterian
church a signal honor was conferred
upon Rev. Joseph Hopper, the vete-
ran evangelist Of PerTyville, says
the Hsrrodsville Herald. "Uncle Joe"
as he is lovingly called, is eighty
seven years old, is known far and
vide over the State rs being usually
successful in winning souls to
Christ. He Is q man of the ranks, a
plain unpretentious Christian, who
does the Masters work humbly
and earnestly. He went to Louis
vile to attend the General Assem-
bly, as an onlooker. At the meeting
were noted evangelists from all over
the United States, men of learning,
who we're gifted with the golden
tongues of oratory. They we're on
the program to tell the Assembly
their methods of evangelistic work
and gave some interesting and fin
ished talks. Rev. NJ. V. =. Yeaman
introduced "Uncle joe" the oldest
evangelist present, and suggested
that he should tell the Assembly the
methods he used in winning people to
Christianity. The old man, bent with
years, his staff in hand mounted the
rosiuiu, and in the simple language
which is all he knows he told the men
OF learning his way OF winning souls,
which was to preach the "simple
gospel as he understood it. His
talk was short, as he finished every
man in the audience voluntarily
arose to his feet, without a sugges-
ton being made, and stood in res
pect until "Uncle Joe" stepped down
from the platform and took his seat.
lie was the only man on whom such
a signal honor was conferred during
the meeting.
