JOHN T. POE, of Longview, is one of the pioneer preachers of Texas, who came into the vineyard at the third hour, and has helped to bear the burden and the heat of the day. He is extensively known among the brethren in Texas and other southern States. He has for many years been the Texas editor of the Gospel Advocate, and writes some for other papers. His sermon is short, but worthy of a long view.
