there was hope in her face; but she
never spoke 10 him. merely gave him a
nod Of the head as they passed. Then,
one afternoon. he met her walking along
with n short. fat Chinese-a smiling,
roly poly of a chink, who looked content
and satisfied with himself and all the
world. Connor was not surprised--noth-
ing could surprise one on the Bowery,
where life is never staid. but changing
always-show-ine the colors OF emotion

human kaleidoscope.

When 1 came to Laurens a study of
the interests Of the church showed sew
eral problems clamoring for solution,
and am glad to say that some of them
have been solved. and | believe per-
manently.
Others of them are still unsolved
and these are perhaps among the more
important of all of them.
1t was the deep concern to finish this
task, over which l had prayed much
that led me to ask to go back to Lau-
rens to complete my quadrennium. 1t
was never personal matter whether
| went or remained, for | have never
been welded to any place of people,
much as | may love them.
The vital question was whether |
should be permitted to finish task
in which was succeeding. or whether
| should be torn up to go out into a
new field to make new plans to be
perhaps, torn up again before they
were wrought out. Will Gods kingdom
advance Lv wise but shattered plans? :?
Let me say frankly, that it ought to be
something very vital to the interest of
the church that would tear up the
working plans of faithful pastor
Shall the envy of a few discontented
women, or the demand of a member
who does not pretend to keep his
church VOWS or even an expression
from an official board be allowed to
break into the pastors work without
some investigation
The answers to these questions are
worth considering.
My first thought of location came
late Sunday evening. at Abbevillet
when | learned that L was removed
from Laurens, 1t was my earnest de-
sire to spend number of years yet as
an active member of the conference,
but in this unreasonable tearing up
there was terrible clashing of judg-
ment between me and the bishops cab
met.
Is the pastor who lives on the field,
and who prayerfully plans his work
capable of exercising an intelligent
Judgment concerning the work he is
trying to do. If so. should such judg-
ment be ignored?
Who is presumed to be informed on
every interest of the church? Is it
the man who is rarely seen at the
prayer meeting. or who habitually sac
riiices his church's interests for his
own personal interests? Whose judg-
ment is the best working basis for ad-
vancing the kingdom OF Christ?
Who will answer, at the bar of God
for the pastors incomplete work-the
of the bishops cabinet that picked him

Former Laurens Boys Convicted In
Columbia of Breach of Trust
With Fraudulent Intent.

The case of the state VS.. John Y.
Darlington and James Stobo Young
was concluded. so far as the 1910
spring term of theS court of general
sessions for Richland county is con-
cerned, when the two defendants were
sentenced Saturday morning by Judge
Prince. The declaration of the court
as to John y. Darlington was three

Stobo Young WAS sentenced to spend

that he would not grant the motion

Tense served upon Solicitor Cobb no
tice of an intention to appeal to the
supreme court. Counsel for the de-
Tense then asked Judge Prince if he
would indicate his idea as to suitable
bond for the defendants while the ap-
peal is pending. The court thought
the amount under which they had been
held prior to this time was sufficient.
Solicitor Cobb then suggested to the
, court that he would like to be heard
on the point Counsel for defense said
that they understood that Judge Prince
mad ruled and they were satisfied to
accept the ruling without further ar
gument. The court, however consented
to hear the solicitor, and Mr.. Cobb at
