The First Associate Reformed Pres

Sunday celebrated the twenty-dfth an
niversary Of the pastorate Of Rev. DR..
J.. C. Galloway, who left the Yorkvtfle
church to go to Gastonia on December
DR.. Galloway reviewed the growth of
the chyrcffstn Gastoniaia and the growth
of the town during. the quarter Of b

church, and Rev. A. T. Lindsay, presi-

The death of DR.. Stewart w. Pryor
has been worth while, not only to him
self and his family, but to all with
whom he came in contact. That DIR.
Pryor was q born physician and sur
geon Is the common testimony OF all
who knew him. That he was @ great
surgeon there is absolutely no doubt;
but as to being born with greatness
we prefer not to testify. We do not
hold to any such view. The record
shows that though denied the advant-
age Of early technical training, or a
great deal other than theoretical help
from the medical schools, he was an
earnest, eager and tireless worker. fill
ed with love for humanity, thirst
for the highest attainable medical
knowledge and skill, and a desire to
serve. AS a physician and as sur
geon he was a remarkable success, and
as a Christian gentleman he was no
less so. He made considerable progress
financially, too, and would have been
prominent as q business man even II
he had not succeeded otherwise; but
his business success was only incident
al. His heart was in his profession,
not so much on account of his pro-
fession as on account Of the good that
it enabled him to do. There may be
those in this. section who have never
appreciated DR.. Pryor; but II there are
any such it may be said Of them by
way Of apology, that they neither
knew Of him.
