D., pastor of the First Associate Re formed Presbyterian church of Charlotte, died yesterdaj after an illness of two years' duration. Dr. Chalmers' health began to fail in the fall of 1900. On De comber 25th of that year, he left for Mexico, and returned in Au gust, last, having experienced but little benefit. Since his return his health had been gradually failing and it was realized by himself and friends that the end was but a question of a short 1time. Dr. Chalmers was married twice. His first wife was Miss Johnnie C. Brice, of Fairfield, S. C. Four children, Eva, Agnes, Palmer and James, survive this union. Their mother died in January, 1893. Dr. Chalmers was married the second time to Miss Bessie M. Mitchell, of Fair field, S. C. She survives with two childien, Bessie and Dwight Moodv. John Thomas Chalmers was born June 6th, 1861, in Mecklen burg county. His father was a graduate of the University of Georgia, and his grandfather, Rev. Charles Strong, of the South Carolina College. Mr. Chalmers entered Erskine College at 15 and graduated at 18. Although the youngest member of a large class be shared its honors and was in variably successful in the public literary contests which were at that time a marked feature of the college life. After graduation he spent so.,e time in teaching. his theological studies were pur sued at Erskine Seminary, S. C., and Union Theological Seminary, New York city. In 1893 he at tended the comise of ethics and psychology in the University of Penns) lvaiia. Before leaving Union Seminary, he received calls from churches in New York city and in North and South C<arolina. He acceptcd the call fiom Winusboro, S. C., and was in,talIed pastor at the age of 21. He continued pastor at Wiuns boro for eleven years. The mem bership more than doub!ed itself and the per capita average of contributions for missions be came the highest in the denomi nation. For five years of this period he was associated with Rev. W. M. Grier, D. D., in the editorial conduct of The A. Rl. Presbyterian and contributed more than 600 articles to its, columns. During 1884 he trav-| (led in North and South Carolina, I Virginia and Georgia, in the inter est of the educational in.stitutions of the church, and raised an ad ditional endowment of $25,000 for the Trheological Seminary. During his travels he delivered over 50 addresses on the subject of education. In 1887 he was tendered the. presidency of the Due West Female College. This honor he declined. In 1890 he was elected pastor of the church at Due West, S. C., to succeed Rev. W. L. Pressley, D). D., who had been elected president of the seminary. This he also declined. In October, 1891, he became p)a-tor of the Fourth United. Presbyterian church of Phila delphia. This congregation was. the largest of the twelve U. P.' ch'urches of the city, and one of the six largest in the boly. IFor 17 years Dr. Chalmers had been a trustee of Erskine College, and was chairman of the com mittee which perfected the plans for the present elegant structure, recently completed at Due West, He was a member of the corn: mittee having in charge the erec tion of the college home for boys five years ago and also served in the same capacity on the build ing committee of the Wilie Home for Girls, erected at Due West. In November, 1899, the A. R. P. Synod in session at Charlotte, elected him president of Erskine College, but it was declined. He preferred to remain as pastor. Dr. Chalmers was compelled to leave Philadelphia on account of ill health. This climate suited him, and he accepted a call to the A. R. P. church here in April, 1896. His labors here have been singularly blessed. The church has grown in every way, the membership of the church and the Sabbath school being largely increased. Dr. Chalmers organized the East Avenue Tabernacle, giving his church two houses of worship in this city. He was a man of scholarly taste, of remnarkable executive ability, a fine organizer and a man of boundless ambition. His zeal for 'his church and the cause 6f Christianity, with his gift of mindand heart, made him one..of the foremost men of his church. The sketch of Dr. Chalmers given above is taken from the Charlotte Observer. At 4 o'clock Friday, funeral services were held in the Firnt A. R. P. church of Charlotte, addresses being made by Rev. n'. W. Orr, D. D., G. R. White, 'J. D., J. C. Gal loway, D. D., f.nd Gery W. 'Mc Cracken of th( A. R. P. church, and Rev. A. C.' Barron, D. D., of the Baptist 'church. A very large congregation was present to pay this last. 'ribute to the mem ory of the la nented pastor. The train 'bearing his remains reached Wizpsboro at 11 o'clock Saturday. The fo'lowing persons from Charlet ;e accompanied the remains: Mrs. Bessie Chahners, Misses Eva ' nd Agnes Chalmers, Mr. Palmer chalmers, Rev. G. R. White, D. .I,, Rev. W. W. Orr, D. D., Rev.'Gery W. McCracken, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Ross, Mrs. W. M. Grier, Dr. C. M. Strong, Messrs. Gee. Brice, J. A. Russell, E. M. Bell, Misses May McNinch, Bertha Wa-.ker, Alma Russell. The caslht was borne to the A. B. P. chirch, the elders and deacons of that church acting as pall-bearers. The furxeral services here were conducted by Rev. J. A. White, of Blaikstock, Rev. J. P. Knox, of Columbia, and Rev. C. E. McDonald, the pastor of the A. R. P. church here. After the services, an oppor tunity was given to friends to take a last look upon the face of the beloved minister. The body was tnen laid to rest in the A. P. P. cemetery, where ho will' sleep "till the day dawns and the shadows flee away." The mound was covered with beautiful flow erp, and the large congregation turned away, "sorrowing most of all, that they should see his face no more. Dr, Chalmers was the pastor of the A. R. P. church at Winns boro from April, 1881, until October, 1891, and during these years he was a faithful pastor, and well beloved by all the peo ple. The church prospered under his pastorate, and lie left amid the tears of all the- people. Dr. i Chalmers was an extraordin4ry man in many ways, and was looked upon as the leader in the A. R. P. Synod. He was aman f large brain, and scholarly gases, and was a pulpit orator of wonderful power. He was also a man who looked into the future 1 and planned large things for God,] and was a man of woudeiful ex cutive ability, and indomiitable mergy. He lived the strenuous ife indeed, and accomp,lis.hed wonderful thing in his forty-one i ears of life. There are maliy< earte "-nong our p.eople who I ourn for him, and will cherish his memory with tlle deepest dffection. The death of such a~ man in is prime is a mystery that we cannot solve, but we know that od makes no mistakes, and sometime we'll understand.
