REV. @. A. COLE WRITES
OF HIS NEW WORK
He Keeps in Touch Wtth Abilene
Through Reflector.

Editor Reflector: We are begin
ming to realize that we are a part
OF the life OF a great twentieth CEN
tury city. and that we have left the
place which has seemed so much
like home to return no more to its
citizens.
The life and ideals Of this great
Mississippi valley metropolis are far
different from that Of Kansas
town. The magnificence Of its In
stitutions, the hurry OF its activities,
the luxury Of the 400" environ
ment, the squalor and misery Of the
unfortunate. poverty-stricken. tene-
ment places. the immensely Of the
church's job--all these are appall-
Ing.
The church Of which we have be-
come the leaders is splendid one.
Ii has 500 members, one half of
whom ARE young people. From the
1owliest newsboy to the millionaire
elder all have received us with
pledges Of cooperation and help in
making this a great church in
great city. Our Sunday school is one
of the largest and best organized in
the city, No Christian Endeavor so-I
ciety in st. Louis surpasses this one.
The sun has shone one lone day
since we came but we have striven
to believe it has not forsaken us.
Our new home is located in the very
highest part of the city and in one
of It's best communities, despite the
fact that saloon advertising otto
Sites Beer" is less than 100 yards
away. Our address is S1S5 Mag
nolia avenue.
We will try to keep in4touch with
our many Abilene friends through
the Reflector and hope to not be
forgotten by them.

CARSON REVIEWS
HIS FIGHT IN
HOME RULE

London. June 23.-Sir Edward
Carson, the leader OF the Ulster I'm
ionists, has again taken up the fight
from which he withdrew recently on
account of the Illness and death of
his wife. He opened his summer
campaign in Belfast by declaring
again that Ulster would fight rath-
er than submit to home rule, and
by urging his compatriots to drill for
the day that they might have to bat
tie for their right TO remain within
the union.
There is no man better able to in
still enthusiasm into his followers
than Sir Edward Carson. An Ulsterite
through and through, there is no
more bitter opponent of home rule
throughout the whole country than
this cley er lawyer, who is at the top
of his profession in England. His
remarkable power of cross-eXamina-
tion, relentless and searching, some
thing new in English courts, has
made his services much sought after
and hardly a big case comes on now
in which he is not engaged.
In politics also Sir Edwards ability
as a fighter has brought him to the
front. In spite of i'll health he has
fought year after year against home
rule, and in the days of the conserva-
tive governments he took part in
those measures of coercion, which
made every conservative hated in
Nationalist Ireland. He has come to
be known throughout Ireland as
Coercion Carson" and priest once
said to him: Sir. if the Irish only
hated the devil half as much as they
hate you, my trade would be ruined.
Sir Edward is not a great orator
but he has delightful brogue and
the ready wit Of his countrymen,
which always causes the house of
commons to fill when he is down
for a speech. The humor, however,
is omitted when, he is on his favorite
subject of home rule and nothing
but bitter denunciation falls on those
who would tear Ulster from the
Union"
