The General Conference of the M.
E. Church, South, is holding its
Quadrennial session at Birmingham.
The most engrossing item of Legisla-
ton that has been so far presented
to the High Churchmen of Southern
Methodism at this conference, is a
resolution introduced calling for the
creating Of a commission of five to
act in conjunction with commissions
selected by the other Methodist
Church bodies for the formulation of
a clearer and more satisfactory state
ment Of the dOctrinal teachings OF
Methodism. The agreement of such
commissions to be finally disposed
of at the meeting of the Ecumenical
conference of 1910. 1t is predicated
that astirring battle will be provoked
when the measure comes up properly
for settlement in the Conference, the
conservative and radical elements
grimly locking horns.

The resolution introduced in the
Senate by Senator Monroe to ''oust'
S. d McNair, chairman of the rail
road commission, seems to have fall
len through in very short order, and
no action whatever is being taken in
the matter. The friends of Mr.. Nc
Nair were, on hand to put up song
and dance if the resolution had been
pushed and no doubt it would have
been defeated if a vote had been taken.
Mr.. McNair plead guilty to being
drunk and begged forgiveness, with
q sacred promise not to repeat the
0tfense. He evidently attributed his
ease to mental weakness End to an
uncomfortable appetite for drink.
A mans standing, and high DO
sition, should not cut any figure when
he is guilty of such disgraceful con
duct as was Mr. McNair, but they in
this case, as is observed by the fact
that the gentleman s influence put Q
quietus to the affair.
If some Insignificant fellow had
gone to the state house aud proceed
Cd to practice juggling with the ink
bottlees, books, and chair and what
nots, interningled with profanity Of
the McNalr variety, he would have
been jailed in less time Ian it takes
to tell it. But they didn't do thing
to McNair.
The chief executive should, by al
means, have the authority to suspend
from Office any officer guilty Of drunk
ness or malfeasance, and he ought tt
nse the authority when a case like
the one above mentioned is brought
to his attention. Quitinan Globe.

THEREl how the chirp of that
lonely cricket brings to my mind the
dear old home, yes, years and years
and years ago, we are afraid to say
how many-when the breezes crept
in under the low hanging branches
and the graceful elm swept the roof
of the old home with a loving en-
brace, when the odor of phlox and
tuberoses was waited in from the
garden. We remember the deep
dark shadow under the rough old oak,
and the ruddy lights through the red
curtained windows; the pleasant
rooms, the books, the music, and
mother Do you remember mother?
1t is your mother we mean. The
mother who laughed over our baby
antics, grew proud of our boyish tri-
umphs, hid ner sad heart beats when
we left the home fold to win our way
in the world, the mother whose hair
grew gray in her care for us, whose
heart grew humble by the multitude
of her prayers in our behalf; whose
face grew more tender as the years
marked their progress upon her
cheeks, whose steps faltered and
whose hands trembled because her
bouyancy had been given freely in
our behalf. The mother who staid in
the old home while we were far away.
The mother bird in the nest after the
hedgling had flown. There came at
last letter TO us in another hand,
and dear old mother was 1T rest.
Then we went home but the old time
home was gone forever. All we
know, how trivial everything then
seemed beside mothers love. We
know how kind word of old would
have cheered her heart. We know
| how the business cares crowded out
/ the home letters; and how mother
watched and waited for the tardy
Ts:;ssive. We know how her heart
bledt an old time caress, and how
she went to rest with a prayer on her
/ lips for you. And now it is too late,
! and the crickets play their lonesome
