RECEIVED A CALL
But Deelined1t 1t Because Pine Bluffs
 Good Enough for Him.

The fame and popularity of the Rev. G. Gordon Smeade, of Trinity Episcopal Church, of this city, is in- creasing. Although he has been in charge of this parish less than a year, his fame and energy in the cause of Christ have reached beyond the borders of the State, and several parishes, in heed of a real live, ener- getic and eloquent rector, are en- dea yoring to land him. Not satis. fled with having deprived Pine Bluff of one of her pastors, the par ish ot Bowling Green, Ky, followed the example of the Baptist congre- gation of that city some time ago in calling a Pine Bluff minister, and extended the Rev. MT. Smeade a call to assume charge of the Episco- pal Church-at that place. But the Rev. Smeade, although brief resi- dent, thinks "Pine Bluff is good enough for me, and returned his earnest thanks but emphatic decli- nation of the honor.
 The Rev. Smeade is modest man, and does not like to talk to a news paper reporter except when the latter is a member of his congrega- tion at preaching and prayers, or seeks ministerial aid and counsel, but tho GRAPHIC has got scoop" on the parson and no doubt be will be surprised when he sees the fore going lines in print, But the GRAPHIC congratulates MT. Smeade on his good judgment, and also con graduates his communicants on the fact that the Rey. Smeade will re- main the rector of this parish, where he is doing such noble and lofty work.
