o. Sunday, September S "a,
Rsv. W. A. Grant will bring to
close most successful quad
rennium at the NJ. E. Church,
South, mere. HIS labors have
been herculeau cot have been
Gro Vned with a large m easure of
su Gees. When he came to this
charge the church building was
about SO, 500 in debt. This sum
has been raised, the dedlcatory
exercises being held last Easter
by DR.. Frank M Thomas. The
pastors salary has also been in
creased. All assessments against
he church for all purposes have
been raised, aud he Will go to
conference with clean record
along this line, as well as all
others.
But not along financial lines
only has he proven himself a
successful pastor. The spiritual
condition of the church Is clearer
aud purer than ever before. No
schisms or factions exist, but
perfect spirit of harmony and
cooperation. And this spirit ex-
lists IN large measure through his
efforts also among the different
churches of the community. A
more perfect spirit of fraternity
exists todav IN this regard than
has ever been known here before.
HIS magnetic personality has
accomplished wonderful results.
The congregations fave increased
at each service, including the
prayer meeting services, which
are always we'll attended, much
interest being evince /. He has
especially been able to get in
close touch with the manhood of
the community, many of whom
have become regular attendants
at divine services through his
appeals to their better natures.
HIS sermons have ever been close
to the mark, he ever preaching
a high standard aud a pure walk,
making no com promise with evil
in any form, but attacking it
fearlessly at every point.
HIS inAu euce in the commun-
ity outside of church interests
is also marked. He is an ims
portant factor in all educational
and other civic affairs keeping a
close touch upon The life of the
community aud being a great
power for good at every point,
a bulwark of the highest moral
Interests. As an organizer and
then having the administrative
ability to carry out his plans his
work here the last four years
bears eloquent testimony, and
his removal will be a serious loss
to our community, but the loyal
membership of the church will
rally to the side of the new pas
tor and be faithful to him as to
the present incumbent. We feel
assured Bro. Grant and his es-
timabls wife will accomplish as
much in their new field as they
have in this city.
