LEARNED DIVINE DR. WILSON.
The Accomplishments of Lamented
i
Minister Told.
i
I
The following notice of the death;
of Dr. James Herbert Wilson, of.
South Carolina, is taken from Tne j
Lutheran of Philadelphia. j
"The death of Dr. James Herbert
Wilson, D. D., removed from earthly
activities one of the foremost leaders
in our church in the South. He was
taken suddenly ill while apparently
enjoying his usual good health, and
died within a few hours of a severe
heart attack, July 8, at Sumter.
"Dr. Wilson was born April 16,
1854, at Williamston. His parents,
Delaney Lane Wilson, M. D., and
Hannah Barrett Wilson, both died in j
1857, leaving their younger children
to the care of foster parents. James,
at the age of three, was cared for in
the home of Mrs. Kerr, in Saluda
(then Edgefield) county. Although
his parents had been Baptists, he;
grew to manhood amid Lutheran
faith, and was ever its stanch defender.
His desire for an education
was gratified by his foster parents
sending him to Newberry College as
a member of the class of '77. He
was awarded the college oratorical
medal for an address on 'The Human
Face/ unexcelled in college annals
for uniqueness, beauty of thought
/ and eloquence. He completed his
course at the Theological seminary,
Salem, Va., in 1880, and was ordained
by the South Carolina Synod in
November of the same year. His
ministry of 39 years included the
following pastorates: Early Branch,
1880-83; Cameron, 1883-88; Ehrhardt
1888-1902; Salisbury, 190207;
Orangeburg, 1910-13; Sumter,
j 1914-19. He also served as the financial
agent of the Salem Orphan
Home, 1907-08, in the canvass for
/ the cancelation of a debt of $17,000;
and in a similar connection with
Marion College, 1913-14. He was a
member of the board of trustees of
I
Newberry College, and also served
on the board of Mont Amoena Semi
nary while he was a member of the
North Carolina synod. As a member
of the board of directors
of the Southern Theological Seminary
he served as its president.
Newberry College conferred
on him the A. M. degree in
1880, and that of doctor of divinity
; in 1905.

South Carolina Synod for two terms.
On the floor of synod no member surpassed
him in his grasp of conditions,
and he carried his knowledge into effect
along with his splendid executive
ability. He was able to narrate with
marvelous accuracy the most minute
details of complex issues and difficult
questions which concerned the synod.
He was firm but fair in his
convictions and commanded the
respect and confidence of the
entire synod. His influence extended
beyond synodical bounds
To the general body, to which
he was sent as a delegate more often,
perhaps, than any other pastor.
"Companionship with Dr. Wilson
was the delight of his friends and
parishoners. Modesty was one of his
cmei virtues as a minister ana a man.
His sermons bore the imprint of
earnest preparation and thoughtfulness
of the needs of the people. The
gospel of his Lord and Savior was his
theme, and he made it the pattern of
his own life.
"In 1879 he married Miss Mary L.
Dunlop, of Salem,"Va. She died in
189S. He also lost a son, Robert
Dunlop, in 1917. One son and three
daughters survive?Lawrence L., of
Palmetto, Fla.; Mrs. C. E. Betts and
Miss Harriett B. Wilson, Atlanta, Ga.,
and Miss Pauline Wilson, Northfield,
Mass. Services were held at his late
home in Sumter, July 11, where he
was pastor of St. James' church. Addresses
were made by M. 0. J. Kreps,
D. D., president of the board of directors
of the Southern Theological
Seminary; A. G. Voigt, D. D., LL. D.,
dean of the seminary, and H. A. Mc_
Cullough, D. D., pastor of St. Paul's
church, Columbia, all of whom testified
to the character and eminent
services of Dr. Wilson. Dr. Brunson,
of the Sumter Baptist church, paid a
beautiful tribute on behalf of the
Sumter Ministerial Association of
which Dr. Wilson was president at
I the time of his death, declaring that
he was loved and admired by the
entire community without regard to
creed, and that his simple faith in
Christ had made a profound impres!
sion upon the entire city.
"The final service was held Sunday,
July 13, at Mt. Pleasant church, Ehrhardt,
S. C., amidst the scenes of his
longest pastorate. The service was
in charge of Dr. Kreps, assisted by
J the pastor loci, P. D. Risinger. S. W.
Copeland, a former parishioner, bore
tender testimony to the virtues of his
| pastor and friend. Here in the
