THE MAN WHO HELPED VAN RAALTE A leader without whose complementary talents much of Van Raalte s best work might have failed to bear such rich fruit was Van Der Meulen, the pastor of the Zeeland colonists. "Next to Doctor Van Raalte this man was the most important leader of the immi- [25] grants. A man of less learning than the other, but of that subtle knowledge of human nature and singular tact of leadership which made him the idol of many, the friend of all, the foe of everything which threat...ened the colony s success. He was pre-eminently a man of men, reading a man s mind with unwonted keenness, jovial and sincere in his associations with men, a man of decision and power, of strong principles and healthy views. " "Poor as any other of the settlers, and with a family to support, he was at once minister, doctor, prospector, and judge. When, worn and tired and discouraged, the colonists came out of the woods from different directions on Sabbath mornings, the old saint of God would preach to them with a pathos and a fervid eloquence now seldom heard, and would send them back in the evening to their humble cabins with new courage, brighter hope, loftier purpose, and more un faltering trust to renew the struggle in the forest and hew out a home and competence.
