1t is much to be regretted that the
early records of our guild have been lost,
and that we are obliged to depend ON
our memories alone for a statement of
what it has accomplished
Soon after the foundation of our par
ish, the ladies who were members being
anxious to aid as far as possible in the
good work which had had SO suspicious
Il beginning, determined to organize q
society which would bring out and direct
their combined efforts.
For this purpose n meeting was held

THE SILVER JUBILEE
OF THE CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

The event of the past week in Raleigh
was the exercises attendant upon the
Silver Jubilee of the Church Of the
Good Shepherd, closing with the laying
of the corner stone of the elegant new
stone edifice which is to be erected on
the corner, facing Hillsboro street. The
exercises in detail have appeared in
these columns from day to day. We
print today as valuable contribution to
the religious history of the State the

In presenting this brief sketch of the
history of the Vestry of the Church of
the Good Shepherd, it seems that an
appropriate, and perhaps interesting in

record of the first meeting held for the
purpose of organization. This record is
as follows:
''At Il meeting of the new congrega-
ton of the Episcopal church, Raleigh,
held in the rear room of the Citizens
National Bank on this Thursday even

present Rev. Il. X. Rich, pastor; r. III.

W. III. Hicks, and r. It. Fulghum. The
Rev. Mr.. Rich ex-oficio, chairman On
motion II. r. Fulghum was appointed
secretary. The chairman explained the
object of the meeting, to-wit: to organ
ize permanently as a parish and to Sc
lect NAME and elect a vestry. The
rector then read the consent of the
Bishop of the Diocese to the formation
of a parish within the limits of Christ

THE METHODIST MINISTER.

THE meeting of the Greensboro Dis

at Fordsville, today, will give the good
people of that little town a splendid op.
portunity to get acquainted with that
magnificent fellow, the Methodist minis
ter.
They will find him the sum total of hui
man perfection. He is a man gifted
with a good appetite and clean con-
science. He possesses a physique tnat a,
however frail, is strong enough to under
go any OF the fatigues that attend circuit
riding or the filling of an appointment
He has the gentleness OF the dove and
the wisdom of the serpent.
The Methodist minister has only one
enemy in the world, and that is "Old
Sooty Foot" The Methodist minister is
a man. every inch of him. He's got
rich, red blood and plenty of muscle.
He's not the fellow to temporiz9 with
his enemy, and the way he gets after old
Satan and wipes the ground up with
him proves that in the end old Beelzs-
bub will be vanquished, and the victory
will rest, in large measure, with the
Methodist minister.
The nature .oi his calling makes the
Methodist minister an ideal man. The
itinertnt system, the life of self-sacrifce
it imposes, weans him from selfish am
billions and consecrates him to a work
whose reward is the final "Well done,
thou good and faithful servant" COM

through your whole being. You felt the
magnetism Of the man. The wealth Of
emotion that surged from his impulsive
noble heart was communicated to You in
that hand shake, and by that mystic
sign, Masonry peculiar TO ITSELF you
recognized in him the salt Of the earth,
one Of the saints, man Of God.
There is no man that is friendless as
long as a NJ sthodist minister is left alive.
His own life Of privstion and self-sacri-
fee endows the minister with quick
sympathy, with a fraternal love that
makes his heart bleed for the poor that
are crucifed upon the cross Of poverty,
or for the rich that are pierced with the
spears OF the world and the flesh. The
Methodist minister exempli6es in his
personality that trinity, Guide, Philoso-
pher and Friend, that adspts him TO his
noble calling, and Cts him to win for his
Master the affections OF men.
Today the people Of Fordsville have
this noble fellow in their midst. Their
welcome to him should be warm and
eloquent of appreciation of his noble
qualities. Throughout the corporate
limits of the city should be heard the
squsking Of the spring chicken as it is
sacrificed for the festal banquet. When
he arrives at your threshold the odOr Of
thyme and parsley, of roast turkey and
cranberry sauce, of delicious jelly and
preserves should greet his nostrils like
sweet incense.
The Methodist minister is no prodigal
son, but he deserves the fatted calf new
ertheless.

A COMPLIMENT.
Gus Richardson Gets a Fine BOquet
Thrown at Him.

We are pleased to note the candidacy
of Hon. Gus Richardson, of Meade coun-
ty, for state treasurer of Kentucky, sub
iect to Democratic approval. We have
known Mr.. Richardson for some years,
and served with him on the State Cen
trail Committee few years ago, and we
can testify that he is trustworthy
gentleman and true Democrat. As a
member OF the State Central Committee
he proved fearless in every struggle
against "ring rule" and stood up for the
party's best interests against all the
Vaccinations of the smooth politicians
who sought to use the committee for
their personal ends. We observed him
closely on several trying occasions and
found him steady as a clock for the
right. Two years ago he made a strong
race for clerk of the court of appeals,
and was one Of the last to 90 down be.
fore the invincible forces of Shackelford.
We believe that the Democrats of Ken.
lucky will do the right thing if they
nominate Gus Richardson for state
treasurer, for he will strengthen the
ticket, and if elected will make an ad-
mirable official -Clinton Democrat.
