Dr. Smith Preaches So Each
Man Can Understand Him
REV. J. RITCHIE SMITH, D. D.
Two men coming out of Market
Square Presbyterian church one Sun
day evening had evidently heard the
Rev. J. Ritchie Smith, D. D., preach
for the first time. They wer» dis
cussing the sermon. One of them in
a surprised tone was saying:
"I could understand every word he
said, and he Just said it in the way I
would say it."
That describes the minister who oc
cupies the pulpit at the largest Prot
estant church In the city. He is a
man of such wide and deep culture
that he speaks a simple language that
anyone understands. His sermons
frequently treat on problems that re
quire deep thought on the part of his
audience, but Ills manner of phrasing
these thoughts enables him to reach
the least educated mind.
He has a quiet way of talking, but
his quiet voice has carrying power
sufficient to fill one of the largest
church buildings In the city. He has
an impressive way of talking, but
never becomes emotional or violent
in use of phrases. He is far from that.
Always it is the same, strong, force
ful, cool stream of thought, sparkling
frequently with the best things of the
present and tho culture of the past.
Naturally, such a man appeals to men
and to men of all classes.
The Man Himself
The man himself is one you would
like to know better If you could. He
is pleasant and kind and anxious to
help everybody. But he is always
slightly reserved in his manner.
Dr. Smith came to this city in Jan
uary, 1900. In the past fourteen years
the congregation at Market Square
has rapidly grown. Two church colo
nies in the city have been sent out by
Market Square. They are Calvary
and Immanuel Presbyterian churches,
both in flourishing condition.
Dr. Smith nearly became a lawyer
after he was graduated from Prince
ton In 1872. He studied for a year in
offices at Baltimore, but returned to
Princeton in 1873 entering the Theo
logical Seminary where he was gradu
ated in 1876. He says his knowledge
of the law helps him in his work.
He has had only one other charge be-

and Principles of the Presbyterian
Church," given, to the students at the
Union Theological Seminary, New
York. He has frequently lectured on
his travels In Europe and the Holy
Land and Is In great demand as a
speaker throughout the synod.
In educational matters Dr. Smith
has taken a great Interest. He is now
president of the board of trustees of
Wilson College, Chambersburg. A
year ago he was much talked of for
the presidency of Prlnoeton Theolog
ical Seminary. He has preached many
times at the Presbyterian church In
Princeton and Is well acquainted with
President Woodrow Wilson, who wan
then president of the college. He was
presented with the degree of Doctor
of Divinity by Franklin and Marshall

member of the Pan-Presbyterian
Council, the body composed of Pres
byterian representatives from all over
the world, and last summer spent
