Rev. J. S. Settle.

	Rev. J. S. Settle, of Winder, was ordained to the full work of the 
Gospel ministry at Sharon Baptist church in Forsyth county, February 27, 1892. 
Since that time he has been actively engaged in ministerial work, sixteen 
different churches having been served by him.

	He has baptized 418 members into the various churches during his 
pastorate, and united in marriage 37 couples.

	He is the pastor of Ebenezer, Mt. Vernon, Mt. Tabor, churches in 
Gwinnett county and of Double Springs in Walton county.

	Mr. Settle is not only an able minister, but a successful business man.

	It will be of interest to know just how many miles a preacher travels 
to reach his churches, the number of days employed in the service and the 
amount of money he receives for his time and labor.

	It will no doubt demonstrate that the ministers of Gwinnett county, 
especially those serving country churches, are not preaching for money.

	Below is given the name of each church served by Mr. Settle, the 
number of miles traveled, the number of days given to each church and the 
salary received:
