THE MIDLAND METHODIST.
Circulating Medium of the Laymen of
the Memphis Conference.

Circulating Medium of the Laymen of
the Memphis Conference.
At a meeting of the laymen of
the Memphis Conference, held
during the recent session of the
conference at Ccyington, Tenn,
the Midland Methodist of Nash
willie, Tenn, was formally adopted
as the medium of communication
in this territory for the great Lay
mems Movement recently inaugu-
rated by Southern Methodism.
The Midland Methodist is the
official organ of the Tennessee and
Holston Conferences, and it is
hoped and expected that it will at
an early date be recognized by the
Memphis Conference in the same
relation. This will unite the three
great conferences in the State of
Tennessee in their journalistic SER
vice and bring them into close and
intimate relations to each other.
In addition to what the laymen
NAV do, DIR. Warner Moore will be
officially connected with the paper
Ind Rev. CIeanth Brooks will do
sbme special literary work.

A THANKSGIVING.
(SELECTED.)

NHANKS be to Thee, o God!
Not that Thou set the darken'd sky with light
Of countless stars framed in solemnitv-
But that some soul who suffers in the night
Sees star through the windows little pane
And, by that CLEAN of hope, prays to Thee.
Thanks be to Thee, o God!
For throbbing music which the worlds voice thrills;
But most for melody which sings, alone
The bird in deepest wood-or song that stills
child to Sleep far from the grand refrain
Of flames great chorus, chanting tunes we'll known.
Thanks be to Thee, 0 God
For wondrous beauty which Thou gave the EARTH
But most for loveliness in barren sod;
green spot in the parch' grass-the birth
OF some pure, sanity life not lived in vain
In haunts of wickedness which know not God.
Thanks be to Thee, 0 God!
For Autumn harvest men have toiled to reap;
For love, for home, for laughter through our tears
But most of all for seeds which, in the sleep
Of Winter, wait for and Spring time rain,
Holding potential growth for coming years.
