one that Dr. Dobyns always makes

This comes to me as 1 recall that
he told me few days ago when we
were talking over his ministerial ca
reer that he has served faithfully and
Loyalty in his chosen field for 50
years and during that time has held
the pastorate of only two churches.
What signal victory for any min
ister-to be so well beloved and to
have his work so highly commended
as to seek no change-to provide no
innovations-but Ito hold fast to that
which is good" and. holding fast,
securing his services year in and
year out, never firing of his, ministra-

The Methodist. system of changing
ministers every four years would not
have suited the two congregations
which DR.. Dobyns has served, at all;
these congregations have wanted him
and none other. The Methodist plan
is mighty good one when preach
er proves unsatisfactory--but the
Presbyterian plan is better when a
congregs ton is satisfied with a
preacher, for then appeals do not
have 10 be made to the conference
and measures brought to bear upon
the bishops-to prevail upon them to
let the minister stay.
Since coming to Birmingham only
a short time ago DIR. Dobyns has
made distinct and lasting impress
sion, not only upon his own congre-
cation at, the South Highlands Pres
byterian church, but all other denom-
nations as we'll, for his piety and
his beautiful religious life, for his
scholarly attachments and his re-
markable knowledge of the Bible,
and his attractive way of imparting
his knowledge.
