CALCUTTA is MIcHAEL'S CHOICE
NebrRsERn VIII Leave state Depart
ment Much Pleased with
New appointment.
tFrom a Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Oct 2-(Speeial Tele-
gram.)-Colonel William H. Michael will
terminate his connection with the State
department chief clerk on November
49, having accepted appointment as consul
general to Calcutta.
Previous to his acceptance OF the Call
cutta assignment NJ had under considera-
ton Halifax and the City Of Mexico. Per-
sonally. Colonel Michael would have pre-
ferred the City of Mexico, but the consul
general there did not desire a transfer
even for a more lucrative place and In
consequence Colonel Michael selected CAL
cutta as ore of the most desirable places
in the consular service. After his con-
nection with the State department ceases
he will have thirty days IN which to re-
ceive instructions in consular work and will
sail for his new post with Mrs. Michael
and their daughter early in the new year
For eighteen months past Mr.. Michael
has been endeavoring to withdraw from
the State department and enter the con-
sular service. This has been the personal
wish OF the president, but as long as Sec
rotary Hay lived the latter had made a
personal request on President Roosevelt
not to remove his chief clerk, and the mat
ter OF a consular appointment was dropped.
On the death OF Secretary Hay, President
Roosevelt again took up the question OF a
| place for Colonel Michael in the consular
service, believing that his years in the State
department fitted him for position
abroad
Calcutta is looked upon as particularly
| desirable billet During the summer months

MINISTER TELLS OF
HIS BEST FRIENDS
Mr.. TALMAGE RESPECTS ADVICE
OF OLD FOLKS
Pastor of First Presbyterian Church
Describes the Manner In Which
Congregations May Be Most Help
full to Occupant of Pulpit

A minister's best friends were given
A., review by Rev. Frank De Witt Tai
mage in the sermon at the First Pres
byterian church yesterday.
For old folks, young folks, the inf1uen-
tial and the humble, there were words of
cheer and congra tulation in this SER
mon as well as encouragement In well
doing. The text was from Romans
1879: salute Urbane, our helper in
Christ, and Stachys my beloved
The preacher said in part;
who are the minister's best friends
In the first place, they are the old
folks. They are the men and the wo-
men who have been walking with
Jesus Christ, twenty, forty, fifty or
even sixty years. They are the church
members whose hair is white, whose
step is often infirm. and whose hearing
sometimes must have the sounding
board of the palm of the hand back
of the ear in order to hear the ser
mons Alright. But though their eyes
may be weak and their hearing muffied,
with those eyes they have been read
ing the promises of God, and with those
ears they have been listening to his
words of comfort through many dark
trials, which have come to them year
in and year out, perhaps for half a
century
But says some young minister or
Christian Endeavorer, the difficulty
with the old folks, is, that they are
out of sympathy with the young folks.
What are we to do when they do not
sympathize with us? My young
friend, you are mistaken. The old
church members are not out of sym
pathy with the young folks when they
are acting wisely; it is only when they
are rash and imprudent.
But there is still another class to
which | wish to call your attention.
The new minister's best friends are
always to be found among those who
were the best friends of the minister
who preceded him in that pulpit. They
are to be found among those who are
always ready to praise their last min
isters virtues and never allude to his
faiings. They will tell you their last
pastor had the loveliest wife and the
finest children and the happiest of
homes.
"As they were friends to the old
minister, so they will be friends of the
new.
But there is yet another criterion,
by which you can judge a ministers s
best friends. They are to be numbered
among those who do not love their
church so much that they are blinded
TO the gospel duties which are calling
them outside of the four walls of that
church."
