H9n. j. G. Napier, register Of the
United States Treasury, Is an cXpc:-
fenced man Of affairs. He knows how
TO estimate the worth of individuals
with whom no is brought into contact,
and rarely .errs in forming his opin-
ions Of them. He is not only gcntr-
Gus but is juSt-ncvcr descending to
empty tattery to bolster up any cause
in which he. does not sincerely be-

ed at this time in the election Of DR..
Church Review. He thinks his fell
low tOwnSman, Is the -beSt-equipped
man in the country for the place-and
he does not hesitate to say so. The
papers everywhere have teemed with
news articles and editorial comments
Mandatory of the varied accomplish
ments of DR.. Roman, and it may be
truthfully said that the talented Nash
vile scholar, writer, linguist, physic-

Mr.. Napier, in part:
II have known DR.. Roman for fully

AS 4 student, he was unusually apt :;
as teacher he was thorough; as an

lowed no useful fact to escape him !;
paintaking and successful; as lee
turere on medical science he is clean
cut and instructive; as an orator he
is eloquent, magnetic and convincing
as a writer he is scholarly, without b.
ing heavy, comprehensive, clean and
logical, without tedious; as an editor
he exercises rare taste in the selection
of his matter and offers encourage
'ment to the promising, while giving
due prominence to the powerful eX-
pOnent Of current thought; I'll PEI
sonality, he is pleasing, affable and
companionable and is one of those
men whose statute does not diminish
by closeness of range.
DIR. Roman makes an excellent im-
preston wherever he goes-and &c
has been everywhere. At home he
welcomes the citys guests; abroad he
responds to addresses of welcome
Whether he talks to a religious con-
ference, business league, a medical
political organization, an editorial
pOWpOW, an chronological commission
or an after-dinner assemblage, he is
equally licitious-always the master

two continents AS an editor of the
journal of the National Medical AS

charge of that important mouthpiece
Of the Methodist faith. At Kans ls
City next month Dr.. Roman should
by all means be commissioned as ed-
