The Christian Church.

We are pleased to learn that the members of the Christian Church will soon be in position to begin active work in the establishment of n church in our city. If their plans are carried out to completion as they now intend. we feel safe in say ing that they will soon have n chureh in our midst that will be n powerful factor in upholding christ ian citizenship i'll Pine Bluff. This successful state of affairs is largely due t7 the efforts of Rev. Beni. l.. Smith, Sec'y, of the American Home Missionary Society, and Rev. F. c. Browning, State Evangelist Of this State, who were in the city recently and after business meeting afmem- bers. recommended q very liberal appropriation from the General and State Board to help sustain q pas tor Last Monday evening meet ing Was held by Che members in the Temple, at which time a caI was extended to the genial pastor Of the Christian Church at Stuttgart to the pastorate of the church here, beginning September lst. This call has been accepted by the Rev. Sapp. who will enter upon his duties as pastor at the time above stated.
 Below will he found the minutes of meeting of the acting official board which was held June the 9th. The resolutions set forth in these minutes were unanimously adopted in meeting afterward held by all mem bers present.
 Minutes of the called meeting of

 the acting official board of the Christian Church, of Pine Blnff, June the 9th, lS9G, at the residence of A.. M Walls,
 Officers present. L. T. sallee, H. c. Gibson. A. NJ. Walls and R. H. & $. J Bumpass. The following preachers were also present; f2evs E. L. Smith, Secretary of American Christian Home Missionary Society, E. c. Browning, r. B. Sapp and Rev. Breedloye. The meeting was called for the purpose of deyising ways and means for placing the church work on q substantial basis. On motion of Bro. Smith, Bro. Browning was duly elected chairman, with A. NJ. Walls as Clerk. Bro. Browning in his remarks stated the object of the meeting, and that he and Bro. smith were here to aid us in the establish ment of the cause. Bro. Smith call ed for disseussion of such matters as would give information us to our condition, and plans for future work which resulted in the following res olutions being adopted.
 We, your acting official board recommend the following:
 1. That we deem the time ripe to begin work for the upbuilding of the cause of New Testament Christ ianiaty in Pine Bluff
 H. That we request the financial support of the State and General Board to help us in this work.
 III. That we pledge ourselves to our Lord and to each other to give this work, both the building and the pastor our heartiest moral and financial support, and pledge our selves to stand by the cause until it is made q success.
 N. "Forgetting these things that are behind and reaching forth to those that are before we will press toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. {"
 '. We believe the active pastoral work should begin September lst lS96.
 VI. That financial committee be appointed to solicit subscriptions for pastors salary.

 Either Mollie or Peter, with Mr. Bland solus or accompanied by Mrs. Bland and the children, traverses a pleas ant old country road, winding through soothingly rural scenes, when one or the other goes from home to Lebanon or from Lebanon home.
 All along one side of the road there has been spread before the eye @ success sion of fields of wheat, and orchards dot the landscape here and there in way that would fill the soul of a truant schoolboy with everlasting bliss As you take the last turn ill the road you see the Bland home, plain two story red brick house. with quaint wooden portico in front, and the lawn, where Mrs. Bland entertains her neighbors of summer evenings has for shade several beautiful maple trees. The brown d Missouri road goes right on past the side of the Bland house without step ping, but there is a bowed old tree in the corner of fence at that exact point, and it is at that tree you stop, and to it you tie your horse and enter Mr. Bland s grounds by side gate, which opens on a path leading to the front door

near Lebanon. She is vastly more inter- ested in the well being of the farm ami mals than in the condition of her hus- bands campaign, and the fact that old Mollie, the horse, was sick would ap- peal more strongly to her than the news of some backset to her husbands cam paign.
 Mrs Bland does all the work of the household, no house servant being em- ployed. One hired man looks out for the farm, and with true democracy he eats his meals with the family. Ordinarily the ex-congressman helps with the farm work, but just now he is devoting much of his time to political matters Mrs. Bland can hitch up old Mollie or old Peter and usually she drives to Lebanon once day. She is Catholic, and, al though her husband was raised Prot. estant, the A. P A. people in his dis trict are bitterly opposed to him and helped in his defeat in the last congress sional election.
 Liberal In His Religion.
 Recently, when spoken to about the A. P. A. opposition because of the re- ligious belief of his wife, MT. Bland said: T was born and raised Protes- tant. l am one yet and am willing to die in the faith, yet I do not consider my chances of heaven any better than the chances of my good wife. If true Christian virtue, character and moral lty and life devotedly true to the teachings and precepts of our Saviour are to be the measure of our future hap plneAs, l cannot expect to reach that state of bliss she so richly deserves.
 Let the fact be used for all it is worth. If a mans religion destroys his influence, then it is hardly freedom of conscience.
 If all who profess Christianity would give all their precious time to the relief of the widow and orphan-would give their substance for the care of poor, starving humanity all around them there would be no more pulling of Chris tlan ears or stirring up of strife among those who profess to follow the meek and lowly Jesus.

 Here he receives callers and talks to them freely the while he chews great wads of tobacco and crosses and u1a- crosses his legs to suit his comfort. he seldom wears collar or cravat, but h1s cray heard flows down bis broad breast and somehow you find so much dignity and purpose ill this earnest man, forget ful of personal appearances, that you forget them yourself.
 MT. Bland's family consists of his wife and six children. Ten children were born to them, but four of them died. The eldest is Miss Fannie Bland, 8 girl of 19. who is being educated in Washington. Theodore. a boy of r, comes next, and he is at school at St. Iouis The home children are Hugh, aged II; George Vest Bland, aged l2; John. aged [, and the baby, Virginia Elizabeth, aged 3. The home children run about barefooted, are healthy and strong and would make the White House Q scene of continual excitement if their father ever got there.
 There is considerable disparity Ill the ages of Mir. and Mrs Bland, but that has had no effect upon their happiness MT. Bland is 61 years old, Mrs. Bland 43, and yet they say they both feel young and recognize no difference of years.
 Mrs. Bland has placid, quiet face, with large blue eyes. Her hair is gener- ally worn parted in the middle, and any painter would be glad to have her pose for him were he painting picture oi the Madonna. She is remarkable for 8 woman whose husband has presidential aspirations.
 Her candid and frequently expressed opinion is that his chances of landing in the White House are mighty slim. She does not like politics or political life, and the possibility of her reigning in the White House does not dazzle her bit. She would rather live on the farm
