A Century of history of the Walnut Street Presbyterian Church of Evansville, Indiana : with sketches of it's [sic] pastors, officers, and prominent members and reminiscences of early times . MR. ROBERT SMITH. Comparisons are invidious. Especial-ly in a session of such splendid men asthe pastor of Walnut Street churchcould claim to assist him in his work andyet none would begrudge the honor dueElder Robert Smith. His fidelity andefficiency as he represented the sessionand the church on many occasions inPresbytery was remarkable. I shall never forget the earnest andforceful address he made in behalf ofMinisterial Relief, impressing all whoheard him with his thorough knowledge and sympathy forthe men for whom he pleaded. His business life broughthim in touch with occasions and scenes of heart break andsorrow and here again his tenderness and large heartedsympathy served to make smooth the pathway of the af-flicted tha: they might lean on him as a friend and abrother. Samuel N. SAMUEL W. LITTLE. S. W. Little served as an Elder ofthis church for a period of thirteenyears and was much beloved by themembers of the Session as well as byall who knew him. The outstandingcharacteristic of his life was his quiet,unassuming manner and an exempli-iication of a strong Christian char-acter, with an abiding faith in Al-mighty God. He believed that thePresbyterian Church was the great-est religious organization in theworld and had a superior knowledgeof its history and doctrines. So wellversed was he in technical mattersrelating to church government, thathis advice was often sought by his pastor and the Session,and he was frequently referred to as our Church voice was always raised in behalf of peace and concordwhenever there was the slightest suspicion of discord in anyphase of church work. He was kind, humble and generous. 172
