CRY CHURCHES ]; I5;Il5j ! !
| THRICE HAPPY
Pastors Of First Methodist And Court
Street and Presiding Elder Remain
In Hattiesburg Next Year.

The list of appointments read out
by Bishop Mouzon Monday evening
was thrice satisfactory to Hattiesburg-
ers, because Rev. G. H. Thompson,
pastor of the Court st. Church; DR.. A.
F. Watkins, of the First Methodist
Church, and Rev. M. B. Sharbrough,
presiding elder of the district, were
sent back to their respective appoint
ments for another year.
These men have all done faithful
and excellent work, perhaps the most
important and at any rate, the most
obvious to the public, being the inter
est aroused among the young people in
church work. Never in the history
of Hattiesburg have the Methodist
young people taken such a part in
the church-nor has the church ever
shown such a disposition to go out
after them, perhaps. At any rate, the
pastors have done excellent work.
Much of the credit for attracting the
young people of the church belongs to
those noble and self-sacrifcing women,
their wives. The young people love
them and they make it attractive FOR
their young friends, so that many an
hour is whiled away at these young
peoples meetings and socials which
would probably have been spent in
less helpful amusements.
Pastor Lewis Leaves.
| The news of Rev. o. S. Lewis
change from Broad st. Church to
! Brandon, Miss, was received with re-
gret by the congregation and other
friends, although the change is in the
nature of a deserved promotion for
that young minister. The Broad St
Church has advanced materially the
past two years since Mr.. Lewis took
charge and will be strengthened still
more, now that Conference has put
with that charge, the Bonhomie con
gregation.
Although Mr.. Lewis has never
preached at Brandon, he lived al
Fannin nine miles from Brandon, al
one time when his father, Rev. H. P
Lewis was sent there by this same
Mississippi Conference. It will not be
like going to a strange place for hi;
young wife, either, as she is niece
of Mrs. Daisy McLaurin Stevens ant
of DIR. Galloway, of Brandon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis are moving to
day from the Broad ST. parsonage, al
though they will not go to Brando,
until Jan. 1. They will spend Christ
mas here with Mrs. Lewis parents

HE LEADETH ME.

In pastures green? Not always;
sometimes He
Who knoweth best in kindness
leadeth me
In weary ways, where heavy
shadows be,
Out of the sunshine, warm and soft
and bright,
Out of the sunshine into darkest
night;
I oft would faint with sorrow and
alright,
Only for this-I know He holds my
hand,
So whether in a green or desert
land
trust, although I may not under
stand.

| don't think it was Bobby Burns or
Bill Shakespeare-once made the
remark that a prophet is not with
out honor save in his own country.
never fully understood the wis
dom Of that remark until | became
acquainted with the Hawaii Promo
ton Committee. Every time | pass
the rooms of that optimistic body 1
am reminded of the pictorial serial
that used to run in some of the
comic supplements, retailing in
lurid if sometime somewhat mixed
colors the adventures and misad-
ventures of Mr.. E. Z. Mark.
If it be true that faith can move
mountains, the only wonder is that
the Promotion Committee has not
already brought the volcano of XII
lauea over from the big island and
planted it on top of Punchbowl, so
as to save the occasional tourist the
discomforts and fatigue of the voy-
age to Hilo. For really, the Pro-
motion Committee has more faith
than some folks have hay. | almost
said that it has more faith than
Judgment, but that wouldn't be
polite, so I'll not say it.
The Promotion Committee will
trust anybody, just so he is TIL
known, has the gift of CAB, puts on
something of a front, promises to
accomplish the impossible and asks
for enough money in advance. A
large bluff is better than fine gold
in the eyes of the Hawaii society.
If Ethel Poser Featherbed, whom
the Promotion Committee never
heard of before, arrives from the
mainland with a line of conversa-
ton and the nerve of a Chicago
plumber and asks for anything, the
Promotion Committee folds her to
its collective bosom and hands her
the keys of the safe. Josher Fl.
Bluffem, who claims to be star
newspaper man, blows in from the
Coast or somewhere else, and says
ne would like to take little trip to
the volcano and will the Promotion
Committee please pay his expenses?

And now, little boy, remember this,
And try to be kind and good
When you see the woodpecker's
sooty dress
And see her scarlet hood.
You may not be changed to bird,
Tho you live as seltishly as you
can,
But you will be changed to
smaller thing
A mean and selfish man.

Sure, the Promotion Committee will
and be glad of the chance, for will
not Josher II. Bluffem write line
of hot air to the mainland papers
that would not be published in even
country newspaper in the wilds of
Pike county, Missouri? Bluffem
says he can get his stuff published,
and Bluffem ought to know, don't
you think? He says it's so, and
why should the Promotion Commit
tee doubt his word? The Promo
ton Committee, as remarked above,
is of an optimistic temperament.
But the optimism of the Promo
ton Committee doesn't apply local
ly. 1t is reliably stated that there
are those in Honolulu who are on
occasion capable of welding the
pencil or the typewriter. Some of
them even write books and con-
tribute to mainland publications
that are somewhat above the rank
of the Squeedunk Bazoo. But if
one of them were to go to the Pro-
motion Committee with first-class,
legitimate scheme for advertising
the Islands, what sort of hearing
would he get? [ won't tell you, for
this paper has to go through the
mails. If you want to know, just
ask one of the local newspaper men.
I'm an optimist myself, and like
to think that | have not lost all my
faith in my fellow men. But |
greatly fear that my optimism falls
far short of that of the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee. When some
body I don't know hands me a ten
dollar piece and asks for 1906 in
change, I usually ring the coin on
the counter to be sure it is not made
of lead.

TWENTY-THIRD PSALM.
The Honolulu times. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1902-1911, 1910-02-01

He came to the door OF a cottage,
In travelling round the earth,
Where little woman was making
cakes
And baking them on the hearth.
Being faint with fasting
For the day was almost done
He asked her, from her store Of
cakes,
To give him a single one.
So she took tiny scrap of dough
And rolled and rolled it fiat,
And baked it as thin as wafer,
But she couldn't part with that.
Then she lneaded another
And still smaller one,
But it looked, when she turned it
over,
AS large as the first had been.
She said, My cakes that seem so
When | cat them all myself,
Are yet too large to give away
SO she laid them on the shelf.
Then good Saint Peter grew angry,
For he was hungry and faint,
And surely such a woman
Was enough to provoke saint
He said, "You are far too selfish
To dwell in human form,
You have both food and shelter
And a fire to keep you warm.
"Now you shall live as the birds do,
And get your scanty food
By boring and boring and boring
All day in the hard, dry wood"
So up thro' the chimney she went,
Never speaking a word,
And out at the top flew a wood
pecker,
For she was changed to bird.
She had scarlet hood on her head,
hat was lett the same,
But all the rest of her clothes were
burned
As black as the coal in the fame.
And every country schoolboy
Has seen her in the wood,
Where she lives to this very day
Boring and boring for food.
This is the lesson she teaches:
Live not for yourself alone,
Lest the needs you do not pity
May one day be your own.
Give plenty of what is given you
And list to PHYS call;
Don't think the little you give is
great
Nor the much you have is small.

singular manners and conversation of the professors
daughter Miss Fitzhugh noticed it, and did not like

he welcomed the companion
