ence. He was first assigned to one
Of the hardest and most undesirable
appointments in the district There
was not even a church at the point
named. The people of the community
were irreligious and all previous Ell
forts to create different sentiment
had come to naught.
Young Mcintyre went to his new
! charge with all Of his natice Scotch
determination on fire. He went to
work. He visited the people. He took
an interest in everything that they
did. He mingled freely with them.
Slowly but surely they began to like
him. When he commenced to talk
about building a church they laughed
at him Mcintyre kept on talking.
After awhile the irreverant ones be
gan to subscribe to his church build
ing fund. Finally he had money
enough to buy lot and procure the
advance material. The brick was I'M
loaded on the ground and Mcintyre
put on his apron, brought out the
tools of his regular trade and Went
to work. He astonished the natives
with the skill which he displayed.
He laid the brick and chatted good
naturedly with the idlers at the same
time.
It was not long before the young
Scotch preacher had the good Will Oh
the entire surrounding country. me
church was built and dedicated and as
the weeks and months went by the
community life was almost completely
transformed.
It was a foregone conclusion that
MCINTYRE was not to be left very long
in an obscure country charge. the
man had a natural eloquence. With
this he had a passion for study.
Language became his speciality. For
hours he sat with dictionary upon
his lap, studying the derivation ana
the varied significance of words. Calls
from the larger churches began to
come and from that time forth the
presiding bishop never had to worry
about finding an appointment for Nc.
Intyre They all wanted him.
In due time Preacher Mcintyre be-
came Dr. Mcintyre and finally Bishop
Mcintyre He had not only eloquence.
but he had dramatic power. On the
lecture platform he was a wonder.
He was word painter in the most
refined sense of the term. No one
who ever heard his description OF
the Chicago fire will ever forget 1t.
The life record Of Robert Mcintyre
is an inspiring story. 1t shows what
determined moral purpose can ac-
complish. It constitutes a chapter in
the annals of Methodism over which
the people Of that church will love to
linger and which all classes may study
with profit.
