The snow didn't get too deep to

Rev. Charles ID. Higgins opined
that Rev. Bass in his 33 years Is
pastor here probably made more
pastoral calls than any man you'd
meet IN a years travelling, that it
was he who helped transform such
areas as Hell's Half Acre and Frog
!, Island into respectable neighbor-
hoosls sand that he was responsible
probably more than any other
one man-for the present feeling
of amity and understanding be-
tween the races, now grown tradi-
tional in Dayton.
Rev. Bass is survived in Dayton
BY Earl Bass, nephew living on
Euclid avenue; by w. Joe Waters,
another nephew living on Randolph
Street, and by a niece, Mrs. Joe
Wheeler, of Euclid Avenue. The

one Of the most beloved and re-
spected men--by both white and
colored people-who ever lived in
the city.
Born in Long, in Darke county,
in 1865, Mr.. Bass came to Dayton
in 1895 to take the pastorate Of
the church, then small brick build
ing at 123 Scot street, used before
Civil War times as an underground
railroad station. Part Of it is
standing at that address.
In this humble edifice, Mr.. Bass
built loyal congregation that was
able in 1915 to construct the pres
ent edifice block to the north. Mr..
Bass died October II, 1923 at the
age Of SO.
Recalled by Pastor
Rev. jerome Wilson, now pastor
of the church, recalls Mr.. Bass s
great love for children He just
simply couldn't pass little child
on the street without stopping and
talking and maybe taking the little
one in his arms and hugging it a
little. And he'd take walks with a
crowd of children just for the fun
Of being with them. And they
would go down by the river and
pick flowers, with all the kids tug
ging at his coat tall
Mrs. Rita Lee, who started as or
ganist Of the church at the age of
nine, recalls most vividly that Mr..
Bass would always be visiting
