Description
Excerpt from The Pastor<br/><br/>He wished everything done decently and in order, open and above board; giving every man a fair field and no favors when seeking preferment in church assemblies. His shrewdness, coupled with a big and generous nature, caused him to know men whose finer sensibilities often kept them from prominence, when men of smaller caliber were being pushed forward by their friends. Possibly he was more outspoken on such occa sions than his ecclesiastical interests warranted, and at times his admirers reminded him of the wisdom there is in policy. Being a man of great courage and strong conviction he said and did what he believed to be right without fear or favor of men; yet always tried to speak and act in the spirit of the Master he served. His motto was, If God be for us, who can be against us Unconsciously men of Dr. Brewster's stripe often bump hard against those whose standards of right and wrong are not elevated. If money was needed for a new church building, whether by the congregation he served, or by ah other, he cheerfully lent a helping hand. In this line of work, as in others, he had been preeminently successful. God had given him many souls for his hire. The church he served had a reputation of being one of the most progressive, generous, and harmonious churches in the West. Having been chairman of Presbytery's Home Mission Committee for ten years he was in close touch with the weaker, and therefore struggling churches. By voice and pen, and by personal gifts he had proven a tower of strength to a number of mission churches that had become strong, self-sup porting organizations, and whose in?uence was being felt in many ways. Yet notwithstanding the good accomplished dur ing fifteen years, and the many warm friendships that had been formed, a cloud had risen.
