A great celebration In memory Of
John Stewart, who was the FIRST home
missionary Of the Methodist Episcopal
church. Is being planned for the third
Sunday In October. at which time II Is
hoped to raise large sum for mission
work. The details Of the proposed
celebration are In the hands OF Rev

efficient field secretary of the board OF
home missions and church extension
OF the Methodist Episcopal church

John Stewart" says Dr. Thomas,
was one OF those early characters Of
the race whose achievements should be
held In grateful memory. He was born
In Powhatan county, Va. I'm the latter
part Of the eighteenth century He
was very energetic and OF studous
disposition. He had strong religious
convictions and Joined the Methodist
church at an early age
Being satisfied that he had been call

Ohio, where he at first labored among

done more for the elevation OF the

the open Bible, teaching Bible morals
and Bible spirituality 10 all OF our
people and endeavoring to popularize
that sacred book and make It's teach
Ing familiar to preachers, Sunday
school and public school teachers

The success Of many ministers Of
the gospel who are now In the public
eye can be traced to his efforts. and
as president Of Campbell college his
work and worth are appreciated In
both the states OF Mississippi and
Louisiana as that Of no other man
who has held the position. There are

 SCHOOL GAMES

This afternoon the Sunday School Basketball league begins with the first games at the Young Mems Christian association from 1 to o'clock. The scrimmage between the First Presby- terians and the St. Johns Methodist beeinning at 9 o'clock promises to be a live one, while the Southside Bap- lists and the First Methodists will probable be more evenly matched.
 The steams weighing undero 100 hounds for the same schools will also play this afternoon, except that the First Baptists will take the place of the St. Johns Methodists against the First Presbyterians.
 Everyone is invited to attend tho games as there will be no charge.
 John L. Parker of the South High lands Presbyterian church yesterday announced that he will present pen nants to the winners and promises that they will be the best that can be pro- cured. MT. Parker is very much in- terested in the young fellows.
