NEWSPAPER PAYS
TRIBUTE TO THE
METHODIST PASTOR.
The following splendid tribute to
Rev. J. F. Bates appeared this week
in the Forrest City Herald. Rev.
Bates was pastor of the Methodist
church for three years, and comes to
Newport this week as pastor of the
local Metnocust cnurcn.
The Herald article follows:
As pastor of the church in Forrest
City Rev. Bates has achieved what
many would have declared impossi
ble. Coming here three years ago,
when cotton was at its almost lowest
level, and when the prolongation of
the war in Europe seemed to mean
financial distress to the cotton grow
ing countries, he found the church
without a church edifice at all in
keeping with the needs of the mem
bership, and immediately planned for
the erection of a more imposing
structure. Taking the lead in his
own hands he found ready co-opera
tion, because he has the gift of lead
ership. Construction work com
menced during his first year and be
fore the end of the second year of his
ministry the membership was wor
shiping in a handsome edifice that
cost approximately $30,000 and
that is a decided acquisition to the
city.
But building a church edifice that
is far ahead of places of this size has
been but a small part of the useful
ness of this minister to the church
and community. Tl^e church has
prospered under his pastorate, gain
ing largely in membership, and the
membership has through his teach
ings awakened to a wider and more
thorough degree its responsibilities,
and is now one of the largest and
most progressive church organiza
tions of the state, having a large

Sunday school, an enthusiastic Wo
man’s Missionary Society, a splendid
choir, and the work of the church and
its auxiliary organizations has help
ed to a large degree in raising the
moral and religious life of the city
to its present high plane.
Men of all denominations have ad
mired the bold and fearless manner
in which he has met various issues
that arose in the county, and for his
splendid co-operation in all work in
cident to the prosecution of the war.
He is held in the highest esteem by
men both in and out of the church
who recognize in him a true, manly
man as well as a minister of the gos
pel.
Though to men he seems a man’s
man, he is possessed to a marked de
gree with a tender and sympathetic
feeling for the comfort and well-be
ing of others, and has devoted much
time to charity work and to the visit
ing of the sick and bereaved, both in
and out of the church.
During the recent influenza epi
demic he probably put in as great a
number of hours in visiting the sick
as did the physicians.
We are expressing the sentiments
of the community when we say we
are sorry, Brother Bates, to see you
go. we manK you 101 me guuu you
have done for us and you and your
estimable family carry with you the
best wishes of all our eople.
