Rev. Le0nidas Greene Remembered
In Roanoke Church Ceremonies
John B. Brewer, Grandson Of Noted Pastor And Rock
vile Resident, Presents POrtrait-B. Barry Greene,
A Son And Other Relatives Present At
dwelling Last Sunday

An enlarged picture Of Rev. Leoni-
das R. Greene, in whose honor the
Greene Memorial M. E. Church South,
of Roanoke, Va, was presented to the
church last Sunday by John B. Brew
er, of Rockville, a grandson of the
late pastor. Other relatives attending
the ceremonies at Roanoke were B.
Barry Greene, son of the honored
minister; Mrs. Nicholas Brewer, a
Mrs. John Brewer and Mrs.
George H. Lamar, a sister-in-law Of
Mr.. Greene.
The picture was really returned to
the church, since it was presented by
the church to the Rev. Mr.. Greene's
family shortly after his death in
November, 1886. Rev. Greene had
been at Roanoke for two years before
his death, coming from Salem in
1884.
Rev. Mr.. Greene was born in Stat
ford County, September 10, 1853. In
1876 he was recommended by the
Conference of Fredericks-
burg station as a Candidate for adj

mission to the ministry, and he was
admitted on trial as junior preacher
on the Hillsboro circuit soon after
ward. He soon displayed real genius
for preaching, and in 1877 he was sent
to the Warrenton circuit. The next
year he was sent to the Rockville cir
cult as junior pastor where he remain
ed until 1880.
He went to Loudon circuit in 1880
remaining for one year. Then in 1881
he went to Salem, where he remained
until 1884. His appointment to the
pastorate at Roanoke in 1884 proved
to be happy one. The city was grow
ing and the new pastor showed real
ability at bringing in new members
and building up his church. His days
were drawing TO a close, however, and
in November 1886 he died, still a
young man.
There was a membership Of only
288 in the Roanoke Church at the
time of Mr.. Greene's death. This
membership now totals about 1900.
At the unwilling last Sunday, there
were nearly 10000 persons present.

AS WE SEE IT
By MoNrco

QUEER THINGS HAPPEN when
politicians get working on problems.
4, for one, am far from being one of
hose birds who think that every
politician is crooked or selfish. 1 be-
7ieve that the majority of our men in
public life deserve more praise than
blame. But funny things do happen.
Witness the reversal of Gov. Nice on
the So auto tags. Why should Senator
Gallan be so concerned with fighting
the beer tax? Who thought up the
measure to give the Montgomery
County treasurer more appointive
power?

THE HAUPTMANN trial is over
but the whole country reverberates
with the proceedings. To the writer,
the decision appears manifestIy cor
ret. After all, this German had the
sney. He could not by any means
explain away certain other accusative
evidence. For that alone he deserves
to be wiped from the earth-not be-
cause we believe in "a tooth for q
tooth" but for the sake of countless
other small babes whose lives are in
extricably woven with ours, the par

1T is TIME THAT we began think
ing about the wet referendum
scheduled to come up in a number of
the county districts in April. Will the
fight be a straight battle between the
vets and the drys ,or will political
issues cleave into the balloting I?
There are several angles to the pro-
blem. Who will be left holding the
bag? The taxpayer, you say. A very
likely guess.

1T is VERY DOUBTFUL whether
the bill permitting the county treas
urer to name halfzdozen assistants
for his office at Rockville will make
the Democratic party any more pop
ular. After all, it seems, "to the vic
tor belongs the spoils."
Democratic organization leaders
have consistently hurt the party by
pursuing the policy of taking care of
county employees forever. A man or
woman who has received political
favors should not expect to be kept
on the payroll for the duration of his
or her life. And he or she should re-
main just as faithful to the party
even though a dismissal slip Ultimate
" comes through.
