DR. DIXON.

SIX BROTHERS ALL MINISTERS. Dr. A. C. Dixon, the pastor-elect of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, 1-ondon, is tlie son of n Baptist minister and one of six brothers who are. all ministers. "Dr. Dixon," says "The Watchman," "graduated at Wake Forest College, N.C., and received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Washington and I.ce University, Virginia. , He pursued his theological studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville. Yevr men are more widely known as preacher and lecturer, both, north ami south. The pastorate of the .Metropolitan Tabernacle is probably jh.e. most, influential, in an evangelical pojnt of view, of any in the world. Dr. Dixon's multitude of friends will feel 'that, he has very exceptional qualifications for this' position of high honour and gn<d iiFcfulncss. and while they will. regret to have ' him leave America, they cannot but fee] gratified, that he has so large, a service opening to Mm. Many preachers have been called from Great Britain to America, and the call of Dr. Dixon to London recalls the fact that, while English preachers excel ill expository preaching, it is America that supplies the great evangelists to bring about effective results, men of tlie tvpe of Dwight L. Mr.ody, R. A. Torroy, John 11. Chapman, and A. C. Dixon."
