He was a great believer in preaching and in preachers. This quotation from an editorial on “Big Preachers” well expresses his feelings: “To us all preachers are big preachers. Some have more talents; some occupy places where they can be seen and estimated and appreciated more than others. The greatest preacher is the one who renders the sincerest and most unselfish service.”

Comments from B. A. Abbott (1866-1936) on the topic of preaching and preachers. Taken from the book, Sketches of Our Mountain Pioneers, edited by J. W. West. https://store.gospelarmory.com/product/sketches-of-our-mountain-pioneers/

The following is an excerpt from the book, Sketches of Our Mountain Pioneers, edited by J. W. West, describing an event in the life of J. W. Masters (1854-1924).

“You have got to hear Masters; you thought you were doing something great heckling on what you call Campbellites, and you think that Masters has no friends here because he has no brethren here. I want you to know that he has as many friends here as you have, and I am one of them.”

“Brother Masters, get in that pulpit, and if you can’t skin that preacher without skinning us Methodists, just skin us, for God knows that I am willing to be skinned just to see him skinned.”
