MIR. HURT RESIGNS
 PASTORATE HERE
TO GO TO DURHAM, N. C.
RESIGNATION OF BAPTIST PAS TOR IS ACCEPTED WITH
 MUCH REGRET.
From Mondays Daily.

With feeling of the keenest re- gret, the congregation of the Conway Baptist church yesterday morning re ceived and accepted the resignation of their pastor, Rev. John Jeter Hurt, who will leave on June 1 to accept the pastorate of the First Baptist church of Durham, N. C., to which he has been unanimously called. Rev. Hurt S resignat on came as surprise to the entire city and the fact that he has been called away from Conway is re- gretted not only by his church, but to every citizen.
 During his pastorate of nearly sev- en years here, Rev. Hurts achieve ments have been no less than remark able Beginning with a congregation weak both in numbers and financial ability, he has during this time seen the membership of his church more than doubled, the Sunday school at tendance quadrupled and the offer ings to all purposes greatly increased. His crowning work was the erection of d handsome S35 ,000 church build ing and a two-story parsonage. Mr. Hurt has not only done a great work here, but has taken his place as one of the Baptist leaders of the state. For several years he has been secretary of the State Baptist Convention and IS d member of the most important boards of the convention.
 The church to which he is called is considered one of the strongest in the south. Durham has population of about 30,000 and is the ranking Bap- tist city of the state, having 400 more members than any other. There are seven Baptist churches in the city, the First, to which MT. Hurt is called, be- ing the oldest and strongest, with 8 membership of over 500.
 Following the acceptance of Mr. Hurts resignation here, a omm.ttee was appointed to draft appropriate resolutions to be forwarded to the Durham church. His letter which was read to his congregation yester- day is as follows:
 To the First Baptist Church, Conway,
 Arkansas:
 My Beloved Brethren nearly seven years l have sought to burden your minds with the thought that duty should be the supreme word in the Christians vocabulary. That word, though heard Tn whisper, ', must be sufficient to change your life plans and mine, and turn the tides of our Influence into channels we had not dreamed of.
 Personally. l have never sought to modify the meaning of the word duty, as applied to my own conduct. do not now. seem to hear it clearly, and l obey. trusting my future to Him alone who can order it as he pleases.
 IL has now been more than four months since the First Baptist church of Durham, N C., asked me tc con s,ier it's pastorate as a great field of usefulness. The church had taken a full year to find the man they thought they needed, and am informed their choice to me was the result of much prayer and investigation.

THE THREE SISTERS

\ \ 4 y \ \ \ \ y
Madame Virtue and Miss Genius
With their sister, Reputation,
Travelled once through distant coun-
tries
On tour of observation.
Ere they started Genius limited
That by some unlucky blunder,
AS they travelled through the kingdoms
They might chance to drift asunder.
Virtue said: IF | am missing
And you deem me worth the trou-
BILE,
Seek me at the courts of monarchs
Or the dwellings of the noble.
IF among the high and mighty
You should fail to find me present,
You may meet with better fortune
In the cottage of the peasant"
Genius said: eff from my sisters
| should chance to prove roamef
Seek me at the tomb of Shakespeare
Or before the shrine of Homer"
"Ah!" said Reputation, signing,
1T is easy of discerning,
Each of you may freely wander
With the prospect of returning
But | pray you, guard me closely,
For despite your best endeavor'
If you miss me for a moment,
am lost and gone forever.

of the one by Charles and wary

DISABLED engine
CALLED HALT At
SEABOARD SHOPS
ON PART OF The WORK
Several Men viii Be Laid Off
Temporarily

The collapse of the large engine
which drives the greater part of the
machinery in the Seaboard shops here
has caused temporary suspension of
considerable part of the work there
especially that performed by the ma
chinists and boilermakers. The en-
CINE had been in service for a long
number of years, and some portion OF
it giving away caused other parts,
including the main shaft, to break,
and brought about the almost total col
lapse of the entire machinery.
Several men will be laid off, quite
likely, until another engine can be in
stalled, as it is not believed that the
broken engine can be repaired, or is
worth it. Fortunately, no one was in
jured in any way in the collapse of
the engine.
