has quite a number of pastors from Selma University.
Too much cannot be said in praise of these brethren for the manner in
which they have stood by the Selma University under all its changes.
And yet we would have been surprised if such a grand set of men as
lead this body should have acted otherwise. Rev. J. Dosier, quite an
old man, reads Greek fairly well. Rev. C. B. Davis is a young man of
much ability and promise. Rev. F. A. E. Beck appreciates the value of
education, is a natural magnet, and draws the people after him. Rev. A.
W. Ragland is loved by all for his brotherly, quiet manners. But space
fails me or I would speak of Revs. Y. R. White, R. Z. Deyampert, J. R.
Scott, and others, who are pillars in this organization.
