Good Advice to an Unhappy Editor.
Washington Democrat: Maybe
there Is some fun IN running paper
like the Appeal to Treason at Girard,
Kansas. but We hardly see how there
could be. We get two copies of it
now. although we have no use for ore
copy. But we enjoy looking 1t over
every week to see what new bellyacae
the editor has. There is never a
cheerful article in the sheet 1t is
whining and finding fault in every is.
sue It must be awful to walk through
the world with ones nose to the
ground all the time. II the editor of
the Appeal to Treason would look to-
wards tae sun once in while and not
always down into the mud, he would
be great deal happier.

look of Church for the Com-
Ing Year.

At st. Johns Episcopal Church yes
terday morning, Rev. Il. e. Cobbs, rec
tor OF the church. instead of preaching
the regular sermon, made a few re-
marks relating to general, diocesan and
parochfal matters. as the church year
In Alabama. as to its immediate re-
ports and affairs. begins with May /.
In referring to the church at large
Mr.. Cobbs paid an eloquent tribute to
George c. Thomas. of Philadelphia. the
treasurer OF the general missionary
fund. He portrayed the character of
Mr. Thomas as that of one who gave
his time and means for the spread Of
Gods Kingdom on earth. Although a
man OF vast wealth. he preferred to
direct his mind and heart in channels
for the good OF mankind rather than in
the ways OF so many others with
means to crafty their desires. He was
a consecrated layman, the most useful,
perhaps. in the church. and gave liber-
ally while alive, and provided for the
distribution of large sums OF his
wealth for the Episcopal Church at
home and abroad after his death.
Mr.. Cobbs referred to the general
outlook throughout the diocese. and
was especially hopeful along parochial
lines In view of what has been accom-
plished In the last twelve monthS.
Especial emphasis was placed upon
and the attendance of 50 many at the
midday Lenten services. The open
ing of the chapel at Highland Park and
the conduct of services by laymen
he considered most hopeful and en-.
couraging indication OF growth In the
near future.
The resumption Of work at the West
End Neighborhood House was also q
matter of felicitation and was warmly
commended to the congregation.
In speaking of the new parish. the
Church of the Ascension, he asked that
all of St. Johns congregation lend q
helping hand by voice and purse. The
church was started with the hearty ap-
prevail of the rectors and vestrfes of
st. Johns and of the Holy Comforter,
and everything should be done to make
the new church a splendid success.
Attention was called to the struggles
of st. Johns, and of what had come of
the pious zeal of its founders. Mr..
Cobbs stated that a great future was
in store for the new parish.
Among the announcements was that
of st. Johns Parish meeting in the
church auditorium at o'clock tonight.
