DR. NJ W. Clair IS among The
strongest men in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and undoubtedly
one of the ablest pastors in Meth
odism. His conduct of the affairs
of old historic Asbury deserves
commentator. We were glad to
note from the Washington Sun the
success of his new enterprise. The
Commonwealth congratulates Dr.
Clair and his people in the advance
ment of the work of the Ne7V
Church.

The Rev. d. Dewitt Turpean,
formerly an agent of the Anti
Saloon League, and who con-
tributed incalculabe service to the
success of the League in the State
of Maryland is now the pastor of
the NJ. E, Church in Wheeling, w.
Va. He is having great success, as
we anticipated, for his record in the
past has always been among those
of the best. The Commonwealth
congratulates him.
The Rev. DR.. NJ. c. B. Mason,
former Freedmen's Aid Secretary
and now pastor of Ebenezer Meth
odlstEpiscopalC Church, Jacksonville,
Fla, has been for the past three
weeks seriously i'll at Johns Hop
pins Hospital Baltimore.
Saturday a week ago, little hope
was held out for the recovery of
this great orator and race leader,
but owing to the skill of the physi-
clans and the goodness of God, the
Commonwealth is glad that it can
report to his many friends all over
the country that change for good
was noted last Monday, and the dis
tinguished patient has been steadily
improving ever since. The race
can hardly yet spare a leader of
DR.. Mason's type in our present
struggles.
