excerpt:
One of the most notable is the Christian Index, a large and influential Baptist weekly, nearly
seventy years old. The Index has, as a rule, had the ablest editors. For many years after the war its editor was the Rev. David Shaver, D.D., who before coming to Georgia placed himself in the front rank of religious journalism while occupying the editorial chair of the Richmond, Va., Religions Herald. Dr. Shaver is recognized throughout the country as an eminent theologian, and his style is singularly luminous, polished and incisive. The present editor and owner of the Index is the Rev. H. H. Tucker, D.D., who has few equals
as a strong, bold writer. Dr. Tucker is one of the leaders of the Southern Baptists, and has a large following. His predecessor on the Index, Dr. Shaver, is now the editor of the Kind Words Teacher, a Baptist monthly of large circulation and great popularity in the denomination.

DAVID SHAVER 1820-1902
Abingdon, an attractive town in the fair Washington County, Virginia, was the birthplace of David Shaver.
He first saw the light on November 22, 1820. His parents were Presbyterians, and at the early age of seven
he made a profession of his faith in Christ. Since he was so young, he was not allowed to unite with the
church. Not until he was sixteen did he take this step, and then he made the Methodist Protestant Church his
choice. Me decided to preach, and before he was twenty entered the itinerant ministry of the Virginia Conference.
Under one of his sermons Miss L. C. Nowlin, of Lynchburg, was converted, and then, in 1843, became his wife.
(Of this union ten children were born.) When convinced that he had entered the ministry without adequate
equipment, he suspended his active labors and spent three years in "diligent preparation for pulpit service." As a
child he had never heard a Baptist minister preach, but when, in his pastorate of the Methodist Protestant
Church, in Lynchburg, he was called on to sprinkle a dying infant, he was led to study the whole matter of
baptism. He found that his argument that the Baptists were wrong, because they were at one extreme (the
Catholics being at the other), was false. He became a Baptist, being baptized in 1844. Upon the occasion of
his baptism he preached, presenting his reasons for this step. This sermon led a young man of Episcopal
tendencies to become a Baptist ; this was C. C. Chaplin, afterwards well known as a Baptist minister. After his
ordination Mr. Shaver became pastor of the Baptist Church right across the street from the flock (Methodist)
he gave up. After a brief season in Lynchburg he accepted, in October, 1846, the pastorate of the Grace
Street Baptist Church, Richmond. In two years, by reason of trouble with his throat, he resigned at Grace
Street to take up agency work for the Domestic Mission Board. In 1853 he came back into the active ministry,
taking charge of the church at Hampton, Va. About the end of 1856 he gave up the work at Hampton and
became editor of the Religious Herald. The front page of the Herald now bore this statement: "By Sands,
Shaver & Co.," and the issue of March 17, 1859, this direction: "Office, corner of Main and 10th Sts., above
Post-office." He continued with the Herald until its outfit was burned at the surrender of Richmond in 1865.
After the paper was reestablished by Jeter and Dickinson, he was Associate Editor until 1867, when he moved
to Atlanta and became Editor of the Christian Index.
After closing his work with the Index, in 1874, and after living for a season at Conyers, Ga., Dr. Shaver was in
charge of the Third Church, in Augusta, and then, in 1878, became instructor in the Theological Seminary
(of the Home Mission Society) for colored young men. This institution was located, first in Augusta, and then
in Atlanta. When Dr. Shaver reached middle life his countenance wore "the pale cast of thought" and suggested
the student. While all through life he seems to have had the handicap of frail health, nevertheless he
lived to the good age of over four score years. His last days he spent in the home of his son in Augusta. Of
this period of his life, Dr. Lansing Burrows, who was his pastor, says : "He was in his last days an invaluable
adviser and friend of the brethren. . . . His weekly meeting with the pastors in Augusta was of untold blessing
to them." He passed away at the home of his son January 13, 1902.
