DIR. DOBYNs IGNORED

The weekly paper published by the Gen. tral Presbyterian Church of Kansas c~-y Mo. in commenting on his leaving for this ety. had the following to say of the Rev. w. R. Dobyns:
 The determination of pr. Dobyns to leave the First Presbyterian Church, St Joseph Mo, the Presbytery of upper Mis- souri, and the synod of Missouri, can be viewed as little less than disaster to the work of this state. Practically the whole of Dr. Dobyn's ministerial life has been spent in Missouri. the larger part of this time being given to St. Joseph, in which place he wields inflXence given to few ministers of the gospel. An in defatigable worker, an able counselor, strong Christian personality, he has been a dominating figure in this state for share of the burden We had hoped that he would spend his life in this Presby- tery. and now that he goes out from us to accept the passionate of the south Hfsh- lands Presbyterian Church. Birmingham, Ala the loss seems all but irreparable. We pray for Gods blessing to eontinu- ously abide upon him. and that the great head of the church who takes him from us will separate the Elisha who is to carry on his work. Our especial prayers go up for Gods blessing' up the First Church, St Joseph, and the school Of the Ozarks where his greatest work has been done, the two institutions commanding the major part of his time and thought. We command this man of God, with his family to God, with every assurance or our love, continued interest and prayers.
