Clemens was ordained to the ministry at the Plains Church, Lansdale, Pa., with Samuel Detweiler and Jonas J. Mininger in charge. He was one of the early English preachers in the Franconia Conference, which made his services much in demand. He served actively as a minister in the Plains Church during his entire lifetime. He also served on many committees and in many other capacities. Members of the Plains Church especially remember him as an interesting preacher, one who could illustrate his sermons well. He loved history and could make it live. He knew how to hold on to the worthwhile things of the past, to make them practical for the present, and to present them for the future. He had an interest in the total life of the church. He never promoted any narrow provincial attitudes, but always the fraternal fellowship and unity of the total church. He had a kindly interest in persons as individuals.
His last sermon was preached on Nov. 15, 1964, one day after the 58th anniversary of his ordination. At that time all were impressed with his warm spirit and his desire to continue witnessing for his Lord, but the weakness of the body was evident to all. Our brother made a deep commitment of his life to his Lord and his church when he became a member and devoted his life to her cause throughout the 66 years of his membership.
