WHO ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND

Pastors.
He is the real leader of the people
What he lacks they cannot supply.
If he fails in leadership, his church
fails in service. If there are a few
pastors who do not need the help of
a great convention like this there are
many more who need it in many
ways. The leader must keep ahead
of those led
Elders.
1t is theirs to plan for the enlarge
ment of the church If they are not
wide-awake, no plans will be forth
coming Here is where the busy
man can get what he must have if
he is to be successful leader.
Deacons.
This is the day of opportunity for
the deacon The church has never
offered him so large a field Of sery-
ice as it does today This conven-
ton will show him how to enter upon
his larger work.
Members Benefcent Committee.
Few members of heneficent commit
tees are acquainted With the posi-
bilities of their work, and the many
are failing because of this ignorance,
Here is chance for them % learn
and to get in touch with what others
are actually doing and doing success
fully.
Home Mission Workers.
The home mission worker can go
to this great meeting with the as
surance he will return TO his work
equipped with new facts, new meth

and strengthened faith.
Members PresbytsriaI Committee

The Presbyterians are more and
more turning over to their home mis-
sion committees the care of the home

tees lack initiative, the work cannot
grow.

RECORD ATTENDANCE
LAYNEN'S CONVENTION
MEETING IN MEMPHIS WILL MARK
AN EPOCH in HISTORY OF
SOUTHERN PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH.
MANY DISTINGUISHED MEN
Convention Will be Addressed by
Prominent Men From Almost Every
State in the Union.
MANY DISTINGUISHED MEN

Memphis, Tenn, February T.
Especial. 1.-The Laymen's Missionary
Movement was organized in 1907, and
it has contributed more than any other
force in the United States to bring
our churches to a better understand
ing among themselves and likewise a
clearer conception of the individual
task OF each denomination This is
one of the most helpful signs in our
church life today and We confidently
believe that the movement is going
to help the churches not only in de-
fining the individual task of each, but
to arouse the laymen to assume their
obligations and to meet them
The convention that is being plan
ned for this city February 1920 bids
fair to be one of the most significant
meetings ever held in the South. 1t
is the first time laymen have ever
met in a great convention to consider
the home problems alone and for this
reason the greatest possible interest
is centering in this convention, and it
is expected to mark an epoch in the
history of the Southern Presbyterian
church.
List of Speakers.
Among the prominent speakers that
have already accepted the invitation
to speak at this convention may be
mentioned as follows:

hereby announce myself a candi-
date for Sheriff OF Sumter county to
fill the unexpired term of w. H. Fea-
gin, deceased. If elected, Mr.. Jack
Slappey, of Plains, Ca, will be my

Since entering the race for sheriff
many voters have requested us to add
third man to our ticket who would
be iailer, without any other duties, on
ly look after the Jail and prisoners.
After giving the matter careful con-
sideration. we have decided that Sum-
ter county is now. large enough, and
the care of the Jail and prisoners i'm
portant enough for some one to be on
duty there all the time. Therefore, We
wish to announce to our friends and
voters generally, that if elected, Mr. J.
B. Nicholson will be jailer, and give
his entire time to that important posi-
ton.
We will appreciate heartily the
support of our friends and the voters

her talk. Mr.. and Mrs. Lockwood were
personally acquainted with Professor

had him as their guest at their Indi-
annapolis home. 1t was through him
that Mrs. Lockwood was able to pro-
cure such a wonderful exhibit.
She told in part of the work of the
professor and of their acquaintance
with him, relating many little person
al stories which were of much inter
est. She told of how the famous paint
ing. The Peacock Room" was brought
to this country and placed in the
Washington Museum through the pro-
fessor's efforts. He was a most ia.
| rOIS art collector
In an interesting manner Mrs. Lock
! wood related how the pictures were
made and also of their influence on
American Art. The stencil pictures at
tracted much comment. They are ex
ceedingly wonderful. She said they
were made Of pulp and human hair
They are made in three layers with a
lining of the hair giving the picture
the appearance of having been woven
in silk. This was the last meeting oil
the year. Richmond women who at
tended as guests are DESTROYS of thank

THE CROOKED rooTPATH.

An, here 1t is! the sliding rail-
That marks the old remembered
spot,
The gap that struck our schoo1boy
trail,
The crooked path across the lot.
A penciled shadow, nothing more,
That parted from the silver birch
And ended at the farmhouse door.
No line or compass traced it's plan;
With frequent bends to left or right,
In aim1ess, hayward curves 1T ran,
But always kept the door in sight.
The gabled porch, with woodbine
green,
The broken milestone at the sill,
Though many a good might stretch
between,
The truant child could see them
still.
No rocks across the pathway lie,
No fallen trunk is DER it thrown,
And yet it winds, we know not why,
And turns as If for tree or stone.
Perhaps some lover trod the way
With shaking knees and leaping
heart,
And so it often runs astray
With sinuous sweep or sudden start.
Or one, perchance, with clouded brain
From some unholy banquet reeled,
And since, our devious steps maintain
His tracks across the trodden field.
Nay, deem not thus-no earthborn will
Could ever trace faultless line;
Our truest steps are human still,
To walk answering were divine!
Truants from love, we dream of wrath !;
Oh, rather let us trust the more!
Through all the wanderings of the
path
We still can see our Fathers door!
Oliver Wendell Homes.
