Dedication Of Men0lal Window To DR..
H0nkjDS

At the Presbyterian Church on last
Sabbath morning, in the presence of a
congregation which taxed the capacity
of the building, the beautiful Memorial
Window recently installed by the friends
of the late Rev. A. c. Hopkins, D. D.,
WIS formally dedicated in his memory
to the glory of God. The writer knows
of no more fitting memorial than this:
Entering the life of this community
in 1866, just after the close of the war,
as Pastor of one of it's leading churches.
DR.. Hopkins for forty-six years, until
his death in November 1911, exerted
an influence which did much to shape
the lives of his fellow-men, and always
for good. AS preacher of the gospel
he was faithful and effective; as Pas
tor untiring in ministry that knew no
bounds save the measure of mems
need; wise in counsel. and firm in his
friendships, he was not only the be-
loved leader of his own people but in a
wider sense the first citizen of the COM
munity. A peculiar appropriateness
marked this occasion.
The place, just back of and over the
pulpit from which he SO long and faith
fully declared 'the whole counsel of
God" The design, the familiar Good
Shepherd picture of the Christ calls to
memory as well this faithful man of
God, as he followed tirelessly in the
steps of Him who was and is the Good
Shepherd.
The service, with its appropriate,
Impressive sermon and dedication pray
er by Rev. F. M. Woods, D. D.. of
Martinsburg, his life long friend and
associate, the congregation, the com
munity, and these beyond the bounds of
either who have shared in this beauti-
full memorial have honored themselves
in thus honoring the memory of this
faithful man of God. whose life lives
on with power in the hearts of people
wpo loved him and revere his memory.
