Especially in giving did he show
the people that they could do great
things in the name of the Lord, and
his former members recall that Sun
day he said $1,000 must be raised for
missions. When the collection was
taken through faith and prayer the
amount was realized.
The news of his death was told of
at prayer meeting and there were
many testimonies as to what Mr..
Cooper had meant in the Masters
kingdom, and to the individual.
The idea of erecting the present
splendid church edifice, originated
while he was the pastor.
For his great love for the church
he left his large library and cases,
