Lady Evangelist at
Methodist Church
Mrs. Olin P. Ader, evangelist, is here for two weeks work in
this community. Mrs. Ader is one of a very small number of women in the country
who are regularly appointed ministers of the gospel. Mrs. Ader and her husband,
Rev. O.P. Ader, who is pastor of the Haywood Street Methodist Church in
Asheville, are conducting a series of meetings at the Brevard Methodist Church.
Both ministers have been speaking to crowded houses since the opening of the meetings
last Sunday. Mrs. Ader preached the initial sermon on Sunday morning to a large
and deeply interested audience. She chose for the theme of her first discourse
to a Brevard congregation the subject of “Responsibility and Opportunity” and
developed with convincing logic her argument that every mortal is placed in the
world with the specific responsibility of making it better and making some
definite contribution toward the higher development of humanity. To every one,
the speaker said, comes some opportunity for a personal share in the good work
of the world which can be done by no one else. “Do not think,” said she, “that
because you are not a preacher or a teacher you have nothing to do.
Opportunities are daily all around you for doing good if you will only see
them.” Mrs. Ader is a very pleasant speaker with easy delivery and clear
enunciation.
