logical Seminary. His first pastorate was
that of the First church of Paducah, Ky
where he was called on the completion Of
his collegiate course. He left the church
at Paducah to attend the theological sem
mary and, while at the seminary, was
pastor of the church al Elizabethtown.
In 1894 he was called to Decatur, ILL.,, where
he ably filled the pulpit and dis
charged the pastoral duties OF
the First church, until desiring
a more southern climate, he accepted the
call to the Second church of Little Rock,
Ark He gave up the church at Little
Rock, where he had found the work most
pleasant, with its good salary. to engage
IN the work of the Baptist Young Peoples
Union. He had been elected to the general
secretaryshlp of the union at the conven-
ton in 1896, and during the year of his
incumbency his zeal in the work was pat
ent to all, his efforts indefaugable, and
his successful administration of his office
a great benefit to the union. He would
have probably been reelected to the sec
retaryship had he so desired, but he pre-
ferred to accept the call of the First
church.
One of his brother ministers says of Mr.
Jordan His heart, mind and soul have
been put enthusiastically into his great
office, and the future of our denomination
in the south will bear the impress of his
earnest labors. Brother Jordan wins the
young people, not only by his devotion to
their cause, but by his companionableness
and the commanding ability which all rec
ognize and respect. AS a preacher he is
logical, scriptural, eloquent, and will cap
tivate and deeply impress any audience;
while, as a platform speaker, his brill
fancy and readiness make him a mighty
power. He is one of the coming men In
the American ministry"
In 1891 Mr.. Jordan married Miss Ray
Griffin of Mississippi, who, by her gifts
and graces, and hearty sympathy In his
work, has been no small factor in his
great success.

MISSING PEOPLE.
The Great Mystery Which Surrounds
Their Disappearance and What
Becomes of Them.

scarcely a day passes that we do not
read In the newspapers of some man or
woman who ia reported missing, aud in
the majority OF cases these people fol sake
happy homes without any earthly reason
for doing SO and their fate often becomes
" mystery.
"The cause of these d,sappearances has
caused widespread discussion of late, and
some of our best novelists have founded
thrilling romances on this strange sub
ject But nc one has yet been able to find
an answer to the question, What re.
comes OF these missing people"
perhaps the best explanation of the
mystery may be found in the words of a
New York physician who is n keen OBJ
server. According to his theory. these
people are sufferers from various disas
tsous rnala lies from which they gain no
relief. Their surroundings eventually be-
come unbearable to them. In their dis
eased imaginations they fancy everybody
is an enemy although surrounded by
friends. Driven to despair, they mt last
forsake their homes and become wander.
ers en- the face OF the earth or else-which
is very probable--commit suicide.
ANY person who is not in perfect
health is liable to meet with this terrible
fate. Even those who fancy themsplv yes
strong, we'll and mentally sound may be-
come unhappy, morose and despairing
The seriousness of these facts should
cause every man and woman to stop, con
slider and see If he or she is really well.
There are so many dreadful diseases that
come upon the system unaware, that
show no symptoms hut ruin the life even
before we know it. The worst of MI trou.
bles of this kind arises from uric acid
poison, which, being in the blood, not
only causes rheumatism, neuralgia and
govt, but often affects the mind or vital
organs. Now, the cause Of uric acid in
the system or in the blood is because the
kidneys are either tco weak or too dis.
eased to throw it from the system. When
the uric acid is not discharged it remains
in the blood, poisons the body and often
the mind and causes disease AID too fire..
qeuently death.
els it not plain and simple then, that
in order to avoid moroseness, pain aud
often worse things, it ia necessary to get
rid of this uric acid? This can only he
done by helping the Kidneys, which may
have been weakened, to throw it ont and
that quickly.
