When asked where he stayed when
here last, DR.. Downer could not re-
member, except that it was in a Pres
byterian home He has been in the
conference since 1858, and out of So
conference meetings, he has attended
all but two. The record of being a
minister of the gospel for 40 years of
active work and still being spared to
attend another conference after ten
more years on the superannuated list
is certainly a faithful one for Mr..
Downer.

The Center of Religion.

Wherein lies the formality of the
gospel? 1t lies in the cross. The
atonement is not something that is
forever going on in the world. "The
cross of Jesus Christ is the very cen
ter of our religion" he declared, "and
too many of the brethren have OBJ
scured it.
1--WE have intimate access to God.
The veil of the temple has been rent
in twain and we may go in to God. "
True Roman Catholicism is pure Juda-
ism and does not stand for this.
"Ought preachers of the gospel to
be better than other people?" Eyes,
he answered, "for they are called to
higher obligations and God expects
more of them.
"The glory of the Lord is not the
glory of Jesus-but of Jehovah. 1t is
not speaking of Jesus in the flesh, the
Lord of Glory is meant"

Various Questions of the Confer
ence rogrsn1-Thrty New Church

This mornings session of the South
Mississippi NJ E. Conference began
promptly at S:45, B shop Mouzon open
ing it with brief sermon of sugges-
tions for a minister's life, as seen
from study of Paul's letters to the
Corinthians, the Bishop having an
nounced this program from Corinth-
ians on Wednesday. His text was 2nd
Cor, 3rd chapter and the speakers
clear-cut words rang through the
church clear and distinct their truth
and beauty, as we'll as the stern re-
sponsibility of the minister's life, as
the Bishop presented it to them,
reaching every heart.
Among other things, he said:
Character Chief Asset.
Nothing is more unkind than to
attack the character of a minister of
the gospel. A lawyer may start out
again, but when a preachers reputa-
tion is gone, he is so badly crippled
that it is almost impossible to start
again. We Methodists are always
careful in conference and when the
question is asked is his character all
right?' and the other questions, il
means much when the minister is
passed as all right"
Bishop Mouzon congratulated the
conference of the small number Of
letters he, as the Bishop, had received
asking for ministers to be returned
Letters of testimony are good things
but it is better when a minister does
not allow his congregation to write tc
the Bishop to return him to his same
place. 'Ye are my letters-the lives

Pistol TGting.

The worst respectable criminal
that a person can think of is the pis-
tol-toter. His crime is wholly Jude
fensible and without provacatiot.
Why a fellow should have any de-
sire to weight down the rear end of
his pants with the popular "32- cali
bre Smith and Wesson" pistol. while
living in civilized country among
enlightened people, is hard to under
stand. We have studied the matter
carefully and about the only salts
factory solution to the question that
has ever presented itself to our mind
is that the fellow who is welded to
the pistol toting habit, and is often
found with his 80 or 38 calibre pis-
tol on his person, is possessed Of 22-
calibre brain, if indeed it has cali
bre at ALL A large per cent of the
crime of our country is the result Of
pistol-toting. The habit is feeding
the graveyards, filling our court
rooms, making hundreds of heart
broken and ruined homes in fact,
it is a twin brother to the liquor
habit, and the two together are
simply robbing heaven and populat-
ing hell. And still we go along
through life and wink at the habit
as if it were no thing mere than a
trife.-Lenoir News

With OUR own HEARTS.
Annual Season OF Praise and Prayer
Belongs to Each Of Us.

The president and the governors
of states appoint Thanksgiving day;
but each person makes it for him.
self. 1t cannot be made in haste.
The choicest things Of the year must
be gathered together in thought and
put into it. First are the perma-
nent treasures of life. God is our
father. We have his word and his
spirit. We are in his family, not
as servants but as sons, and "the
son abideth forever" We have,
therefore, future unbounded by
time in the fathers house. These
everlasting values enrich present
life beyond limit. The day when
mems attention is concentrated on
them becomes Thanksgiving day.
We put into it also what the years
have given Instantly affections and
friendships. Ties suspended by cir
cumstances, not broken, are renew
ed, as faces of absent ones reappear
in the home.
The blessings of this year must be
put into Thanksgiving day. The
work that was planned when the
winters shortest days began to
lengthen is done. The harvest is
completed. We do not count the
losses today. Weput the disappoint-
ments and sorrows out of sight for
the present We are not making a
fast but a feast. The tables are
loaded with good things, which SYM
bolize the good things of the year
and of all the years and of the eter-
nal life. And how many of them
are here with us-the husband, the
wife, the children, father and moth
er, friends at hand and messages
from those afar, the home and all it
contains. We have a christian fel-
lowship, great and prosperous
country at peace with the world and
with a helpful mission to other ma
tions which is being nobly fulfilled.
But something is still lacking. 1t
is the flavor to the food, the piquancy
to the appetite, the flowers to adorn
the table. What we give gives value
to what we have God setteth the
solitary in families" If there is
chair vacant at our table some lonely
one must be found to fill it. While
there are homes uhprovided, ours
cannot be completely ready for the
festival. "Send portions unto him
for whom nothing is prepared; for
this day is holy unto our Lord"
Thus our table is adorned and its
plainest food made rich.
Now the day is made. We unite
in thanksgiving and we share tre
feasts in a happy fellowship sur
rounded by an uncounted multitude
Of merry making homes, whose un-
spoken greeting to one another ex-
plains the meaning Of our national
Thanksgiving day, "For the joy of
the Lord is your strength. ."-Ex.

SET APART FOR GRATITUDE.
THANKSGIVING the Day OF all Days to
Remember Our Blessings.

On Thanksgiving day most of US,
will deliberate intention and perhaps
no little effort, close the door by
which grumbles enter and open wide
the other door that lets in praise.
For once gratitude has the right Of
way and we are just a little bit
ashamed to be found in the dull COM
pany Of complaint At the Thanks
giving service, if we attend it, We
give ourselves to a deliberate enum-
Grafton Of our blessings and remem-
Der, perhaps, how many there are
l1os Iav ored ttii1a1 ourselves. Thee
is not a time for a complete and
yelmanent smoothing out of the
wrinkles of care and perplexity be-
fore we sit down at the bountifully
laden table, but on the whole We
are ready to enter into the spirit Of
the time. Is Thanksgiving, then, a
reversal or an occasional accentua-
tion of the proper habit Of christ
ian's life? If there must be rusty
hinges, should they be upon the
doors of praise, while the other door
Of grumbling works with constant
ease? The undisputed right of way
in the Thanksgiving season ought to
be the right of way for all the year.

During the past year peace and
order have prevailed in our State
and we have had bountiful harvests
and great material progress, for all
of which we should be duly thankful

Therefore, l, William w. Kitchin

suance Of custom and in accordance

day, November the Oath. 1910 a day
Of Thanksgiving, to provide special
opportunity for the people to lay
aside their accustomed work and
render thanks to Almighty God for
His manifold blessings. Charity to
the needy and kindness to all, better
even than prayer and songs of praise,
will exemplify our appreciation of
the blessings which have come to u.s.
In witness hereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great
seal Of the state to be affixed, this
the 10Th day Of November, 1910,
and in the one hundred and thirty
fifth year Of the American indie
pendence.

A TRANSCENDENT MILITARY GENIUS.
The Immortal StOneWaIl Deserves a
N!chs In Naticn'S Capitol.

The statue of Stonewall Jackson
placed in the State House grounds at
Charleston by the women of West
Virginia is the work of the famous
sculptor, Sir Moses Ezekiel. With
Sir Moses its modelling was labor
of love, as he himself was cadet at
the Virginia Military Institute when
Jackson was an instructor there, and
the sculptor fought in the Confed-
crate army and shared the intense
admiration that the brilliant exploits S
of "Stonewall" aroused in the men
who followed him. No bronze or
marble can picture Jackson the man
of instant decision and swift action,
or indicate the fiery military genius
that famed up in him. But it can
and does present the serious, sad
faced man of deep religious nature,
the soldier who was moved in every
action by the devotion to duty ard
his sublime faith.
The statue in Charleston will stand
as a monument to valor and genius,
and an all-too-tardy tribute to the
great general from the State in which
he was born. Perhaps it is even yet
too early to expect the prejudices Of
sectional conflict to have subsidized
sufficiently for all the people Of d
border State to unite in a tribute to
one of the leaders of either side. but
the time is rapidly approaching, if
it has not yet arrived, when Union
men as we'll as ex-Confederate will
come to regard Stonewall Jackson
as the greatest man born in the ter
ritory that is now West Virginia
The soldiers of every country ac-
knowledge him as a transcendent
military genius. His lofty personal
character, his devotion to his people,
distinguish him as man worthy of
any honor.
In the capitol at Washington is the
national hall of fame, where each
State may place the statues of its
favorite sons. West Virginia has
already filled its inches with lesser
lights. But she may very well re-
consider her choice, and upon one
pedestal place the statue Of hergreat-
est son, so that in the capitol of a re-
united country Stonewall jackson
can once again meet Robert Lee
Baltimore Sun.

Try Apple Trees.
Alex J. FIELD,
Private Secretary.

Plant apple trees; one or one hun
dred, or one thousand.
Oregon and other Western States
have found a gold mine in raising
apples for the retail markets, pre-
pairing them for the purchaser with
great care, and charging for them
accordingly.
1T is not the raising of fancy ap-
Piles for which we plead, but for
more attention, more Intelligent at
tention, to the apple tree.
To get good results you must take
care of the orchard all the year
round. You must dig and prune and
spray and gather as if the profit for
the year depended on that one act.
The climate in Kentucky has not
changed, neither has it changed in
Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama
The apple trees have been neglected
! for other things of more pressing
Importance.
In planning for the new crop ano
all the crops that are to follow take
the apple into consideration.
Begin with the selection of the
best varieties for your market. Their
get the best stock suited for your

year.

For light that guides through storm and strife
For harbor safe from tempests rife
