In an article in the Texas Christian
Advocate on the teaching function Of
the pastor Bishop Mouzon speaks thus
in regard to the pastors relation to the
young:
The preachers greatest opportunity
is with the children of the Church
A recent writer states a most impor-
tant truth in these words: Men speak
of revivals as the main supply Of the
Church, but it would seem that when
men speak so they are for a moment
forgetting the educative influence Of
the homes of Christian men. There
have been long periods Of the Church
history when there were no revivals
and no Christian work but that Of the
steady teaching and preaching Of the
truth, and (what is vastly more impor-
tant) the Influences of Christian per.
sonaIities. and the deep and weII-niGh
irresistible stream of the training and
love Of home" The preacher should
seek to know the children, and the
parents should make it easy for him to
do so by inviting him to the home
when the children are there. Through
the. Sunday school the pastor will ex-
tend his acquaintance with the child
rem Of his congregation. and he will
specially look to it that the Sunday

In defending Col, James Gordon,
OF this city, as a sportsman against an
attack by a disgruntIed handler, Of
Massachusetts, The American Field
pays the Colonel the following high
tribute;
There are many men still living
whe knew Colonel Gordon when his
home, old Lochinvar, was one of the
proudest mansions in all the South.
These same men knew him alter he
had spent a fortune on his friends,
reduced to the humblest occupation
tor his daily bread, and again they
have seen him in the Uuited States
Senate breaking all the traditions of
that august body, as senators stood
and cheered his simple plea for peace
and good will between men, Through
it all Colonel Gordon moved the same
brave, kindly, chivaIrous soul, with
courtesy to women, devotion to his
friends and the love Of dog and gun
the guiding stars of a long life. War
eagle Of the Confedracy, commission
er to France, senator Of the United
States, and one Of the few living rep

Our Church Services

1t has been a source Of qualification
the manner in which n people have
attended the services OF the Church
this winter and spring, In spite Of
the bad weather our congregations
have been good when we could get to
the church at all. When the weather
was good the congregations have
been exceptionally good. The preach.
ing hours on Sunday are the general
rallyinQ time Of all the Church forces.
We divide off into groups for special
service-Sunday School. Leagues,
Junior and Senior, Home Mission
Society &C., then on Sunday morning
and evening we come together as a
whole Church for worship and to
hear the Word expounded-a rally
ing time for all the forces. How
much depends on the c Of these
services, doubtless few Of us have
thought. How important that each Of
US should make especial effort to be
there and to encourage others to be
there is mol always considered. How
very necessary it is that every member
pray for their pastor. who is the lead
