REV. GEORGE S. SMITH.

"Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ!
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy Master's joy!"

This may be fittingly said of Rev. G.S. Smith, who for thirteen years
was pastor of the Congregational Church at Raleigh and McLeansville,
N.C., and who entered into rest on the 12th of last August. Memorial
services were held on the 26th of August in the church where he had long
and faithfully conducted the worship of his people. Addresses were made
by those who had been intimately associated with him in his work, which
testified to the earnestness and success of his ministry. The best proof
of his work is to be seen in the intelligence and virtue of the
community in which he labored.

Our field missionary in a recent visit speaks in this way: "It is very
rare to find colored people under such discipline and so orderly and
intelligent in meetings. The faces of the old people are sunny and
sweet, they are so attentive and appreciative and so responsive. The
young people were at the meeting in large numbers. It will give you an
uplift from your work to spend a day or two with the people of this
place in meetings such as they now hold."
