A GOOD PASTOR.
By LYMAN ABBOTT, ID. D.. LID,
Editor Of the Outlook;


have long been convinced
that one cause of the apparent
failure of efficiency in the church
is the diminution of pastoral
service.
Neither eloquence OF preaching
in the pulpit nor skill of admin
istration in the parish can take
the place of personal contact be-
tween the preacher and his peo-
pie.
II i had the time and strength
I would rather talk with 500 in
dIvidual inquirers who sought
me ought for conference than
preach TO a, congregation of 5000
auditors who came to listen and
went away, many of them to for
get what they had heard.
In these personal conferences
the pastor or teacher comes in
direct contact with the individ-
ual soul. He knows the doubts,
the difficulties. the dangers of the
individual He tries to meet
those difficulties with his soIu-
lions. those doubts with his argu-
ments. those dangers with his
counsel: and he finds, IL. he is
opep-minded. wherein the solu-
tions fail to solve. the argu-
ments fail to convince, ard the
counsels fail to guide.
He gets just what he does not
get in the pulpit. the response of
the soul, and knows. at least in
little degree, wherein he has
succeeded, wherein he has failed.

In speaking of the improvements Just
completed. Mr.. Raymond NJ. Pullman,
superintendent of the school, TO whose
untiring service is due the success of
the enterprise, had this to say:
For some years workers in the
church have realized that If the Sun
day school is to continue its progress,
there must be provided an increase of
accommodations. Senior, classes were
crowded in too little floor space the
junior department used one end of the
main room, which was partitioned off
and shared by the secretary's Office. the
primary quarters were cold in winter
and very hot in summer. and there
existed no accommodations whatever
for beginners department. The need
of an adequate and more modern plant
was suggested TO the superintendent
of the school soon after the middle of
April The project was introduced for
consideration OF the congregation at
the annual meeting on May .. A COM
mittee on plan and finance was an
pointed to report to a special congre-
gational meeting called for June 6.
The June meeting authorized to
receive honorary pledges and to dis
burse funds not to exceed ST., 900 for
the erection of new church addition
and modern Sunday school plant
Plans were made and business ar
engagements approved at congregational
meetings in August, and on September
81 the construction of the building was
begun. The new building offers facili-
ties for every department"

The oil industry in Carter county

Oil men from all over the country are
making Ardmore's vicinity their
Mecca. Within the past few months
leases on tens o. thousands of acres
in Carter county have been taken
and representatives OF big" compa

company is one Of the largest Of its
kind. In the southwest, and is com
posed of the principal representa-

company which recently brought in

While here Mr.. Taylor secured
leases in the territory adjoining the

THOU SHALT NOT KILL.

Away back ir the beginning OF
time, when the world was in infantile
swaddling clothes, the chosen people
of the Lord was governed by His
servant Moses. And to this COVER
nor the Superior Power gave certain
Rules of Action, or Laws, by which
the people were to be governed.
These laws were craven on stone
were cut deep, letter by letter, in
indestructible granite. And one OF
these laws read: Thou shalt not
kill"
These laws have never been re-
pealed. but stand today in broader
and more general sense, as they did
at the time OF their enactment by
the Supreme Legislative Power.
Thou shalt not kill' either by the
shedding of mans blood, nor by the
wrecking OF life. And when a beast
be he white or black-sacrifices
the sanclity of womanhood in lust's
qualification he has committed a MUIR
der, in the sense of the original law,
Just as much as though he had shed
mans blood"
"He who sheddeth mans blood, by
man shall his blood be shed" With
out questioning the conscientious
scruples of anyone-without presum-
ing to say that ones conscientious
scruples should not be allowed to
interfere with the carrying out OF
the laws letter--without attempting
to criticise the spirit which may
prompt the abortion Of justice by a
pardCning power, We feel that we
may remark, in the interests of hui
manity in the interests of public
welfare, in the interests of morality
and in the interests of good govern
ment that wherever the pardoning
power is used except in the inter
ests of JUSTICE, crime is fostered
and increased And so long as the
finding Of the juries and the SEN
fences Of the courts are revoked and
set aside by that pardoning power,
Just that long may we expect the

and drown" with their hides full
of bullet holes, as was the csae with

PREACHERS AND EMPTY pEWs

In a recent editorial, the Atlanta
Constitution notes that the increas-
ing failure of men to attend church
Is affected as a melancholy fact by
many preachers who grope bindly
for the reason.
The Constitution says that Bishop
James H Mccoy, in his recent ad-
dress to the North Georgia Method
ist conference, struck the cause at
its core when, according to press
dispatches, he "censured the modern
tendency TO deal with secular and
trivial matters in the pulpit to the
exclusion of the great issue of sal
vation.' The bishop is right and
II the churches wish to exercise
their old-time influence in this Won
derful and expanding age in which
we live, they must take cognizance
of his criticism.
Viewing pulpit practice here and
