Dream Saved Train From Wreck

From the Atlanta Journal
 Awakening from sleep in which he had dreamed that nearby trestle on the South railroad had been washed away o. T. Kitchens, q section foreman, al- though suffering from illness, arose from his bed and went to South River. six miles from here. before dawn to discover that his dream was a reality.
 The foreman found that the stream. swollen by heavy rains. had carried away q trestle spanning a sixty-flve foot chasm. He knew that passenger train en route from Atlanta to Columbus Ga, soon was to arrive at the opposite side of the river. but he had no means of reaching that point to warn the engineer of the danger. and the river is three-quarters of q mile wide.
 Standing on the bank the man put his hands to his lips and repeatedly Hal looed" for half hour. Finally he heard all answering shout and he called out warning to J. E. Daniel, the man who had heard him. Daniel Tagged the train as 1t neared the brink of the stream.

experience. but an economical ability which he had acquired in his earlier years. He was just the man tempera- mentally and otherwise fitted for pioneer work such as he undertook in Alabama.
 One possessing the gifts which Bishop Cobbs had might have shone moro resplendently but he was shrinlSingly modest and by this was much kept from public recognition. He was an indefatigable worker and was as quiet as he was effective in the execution of his plans. Without effort he won pop ularity and to his quiet demeanor and humility Is his church in Alabama most indebted. Under his auspices diocesan school was founded, an orphanage es- tablished, and system of missions maintained, and through these agencies vast good was effected.

He was neither super fleial nor artificial. but always solidly practical. because he had already learned to be sure of his footing by reason Of the conditions attendant on his early struggles. Naturally modest. he won self-confidence by closepess of application, and from this happy blend came that rotundity of character which made him the man he was.
 His heart was already fixed on the min istry, and up to the age of 2s, during his career as a country school teacher, he was prosecuting his theological studies. At the time already indicated. when he had arrived at the age of 2s, he was or dained deacon in Trinity church, Staun- ton. Va. and a year later was made priest in Richmond. He became pastor in Bedford county. Virginia, and in con

Junction with his pastoral work he off eiated as chaplain in the University of Virginia, being the first minister to serve within the walls of that famous institu- tion. From 1926 to 1s41 he served in the general convention of his church as one of the clerical deputies from the diocese of Virginia.
 In 1S41 Rev. Cobbs was nominated bishop of Texas by the house of bish- ops, but the clerical and lay deputies declined from motives of policy to sarction the action. The honorary title of doctor of divinity was given him by Hobart college in 1S43 and during tho same year he became the rector of Ss. Paul's church in Cincinnati. Another step was taken to raise him to the bishopric by the clergy of Indiana. but the laity, assuming, for some reason, that if elected he would not accept, did

Cannot he see the disappearance of landlordism and the old age pensions and the compulsory insurance of employees in Europe? Or the enforcement of employ CTS liability and child labor laws in Amer ica?
 Can he not see the new spirit of Asia, awakening and rubbing it's eyes to its opportunities? Think of iti China with a constitutional government; Turkey tol- erant
 Can he not see that the spirit of the Christ Is permeating the earth as a leaven? Should minister of the master dccry his own gospel and its power to accomplish?

 The facts are known and understood and to know and understand Is to argue speedy cure.

 Note what has already been accom- plished And humanity is yet only half awake.
 Why MT. Preacher, your Christ has never had fair chance at this cruel world. And never fear; his spirit is marching on.
 This is true story about Henry w. Grady, the great editor, and his mother.
 One day MT. Grady said to his asso- ciates on the Atlanta Constitution: T am going away for 6 week or so. and I don't want anybody to know where am."
 He went back to Athens, his old home
 When he came to his mothers house he took her into his great, strong arms and said:
 Mother, I've come home to you this time to be your own Attie boy idrry once more I want you to treat me just like you used to in the old days. Cook for me the little pie dough cakes on the back of the stove, the ginger cakes with the rais- ins in the middle, the nice warm bread with the brown crust'
 And while he was home that time he spent his days down at the old swim ming hole and out in the barn. where he would crawl over the old cotton gin and try to skin the cat on the pole. He loafed about the cabins and talked with the col ored folk.
 And in the afternoons

 on the assumption of the charge of his diocese he found but few Episco- ralians in Alabama, the number scarcs- ly reaching as many as 300. He sat himself at work without delay to ef- feet a thorough organization of the scattered few and before the close of hin life had multiplied the numbers many times over. In graphing with the difficulties of a new field the re- sourcefulness acquired in his early life stood him well in hand.

INSPECTION TOUR
Board of Control Makes Official
Visit to Girls School
LOOKS OVER TIT PLANT
Finds Work on the New Buildings
Progressing as Rapidly as Can
Be Expected

z. NJ. Ringdahl, c. E. Vasaly and
c. S. Swensden, composing the Stat e
Board of Control, spent Friday after
noon here inspecting the Minnesota
Home School for Girls. The Board
arrived on the Flyer Thursday even
ing and spent the night at the hotel.
They took an early breakfast and
started Immediately for the school,
arriving there at 7:3O. Some of their
friends here suggested that Mr.. Ring
dahl was getting in condition for his
race for the governorship in the pres
ent campaign. For reply the chair
man of the Beard simply smiled eng
matically and changed the subject,
Swensden "winked the other eye" and
Vasaly grinned. Then everybody be-
gan talking about something else.
The members of the Board spent
the entire forenoon looking over the
school and inspecting the new build
ings and noting the progress in their
construction. They expressed them
selves well pleased with the building
operations, saying that the work is as
far along as could be expected, in con-
sideration of the fact that material
was delayed in arriving and workmen
hard to get. The members of the
Board believe that by the first of the
year the buildings now i'm process of
erection should be ready for occu-
pancy.
There is certainly great need of adj
ditional accommodations Mr.. Ring
dahl told The Herald that there are
now lib girls at the school, 1t is diff

tiUnS for twenty girls. Part of one
of the cottages is occupied by the

the completion of the new buildings
two more cottages will afford suflici-
ent accommodations for the inmates.

is farthest along. The walls are up
and roof on. On Friday, when the
