THE URhL PASTOR
intellIgene and consecratsd Leader
ship the Need OF the Hour.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Onion

Lecturer Nationa, Farmers Onion
The rural pastor has greater possi-
bilities than any other factor In our
national life. The rural civilization
Of the Twentieth Century has opened
up new world Of activities for him.
There lie before him unexplored con-
tinents of usefulness, unempl Dyed
forces Of civilization and tremendous
responsibilities such as have never
before confronted the pastorate.
The need Of the rural communities
today is intelligent and consecrated
leadership. There must be a marshal
ling of forces that build life. strength
en- character and broaden vision. The
pastor should deal with living prob
lens. In addition to the service he
now renders he should help US lift
the market basket, hold out help
ing hand to the farmer and develop
the potential energies Of the commun-
ity he seeks to serve.
A More Ussfv! Ministry.
The farmer needs the personal
touch Of the pastor. He seldom
comes In direct contact with his hal
lowing influence. except when he 10

ian and the Hottentot, and we should

Christian Influence Needed.
There is an emptiness In the life
Of rural communities and we want
preachers who can weave into the
social fibre. educational pastimes.
profitable pleasures and instructive
amusements Too often we find the
games OF our young people search
for a suggestion in immoralit~ and

should supervise the growing lives OF
young people. approve their amuse.

pleasure that make of Christian
character and bless their lives with
Christian modesty.
The farm is the nursery Of civil

Reported Resignation of Gray
ArOuseS Much Interest Here

public before he is through with the
Frisco lines. The report that Carl Gray
would become presidenteis said in Bir-
mingham to be Just one of the changes
that will occur in the ranks of Frisco
officials before the final word is said.
The resignation of Mr.. Gray from
the Great Northern was reported about
three weeks ago. when it was said he
intended to accept service with the New
Haven Subsequently he denied that
report very pointedly as did Howard
Elliott, chairman of the New Haven
board. 1t was suggested at the time of
this episode that Mr.. Gray was nego-
tiating with the Frisco lines, in which
he has always been deeply interested,
and that he would perhaps return to his
first work. 1t was known that he har-
bition of being the head of the line In
the service Of which he started in over
a1ls as station sweeper in Missouri,
and in the service of which he attained
the senior vice presidency before going
to the Great Northern. He was elected
by James j. Hill to go with the Hill
interest, and sent to Portland, where
he remained a year in training before
going over to st. Paul and succeeding
Louis Hill as president The younger
Hill was made chairman of the board,
succeeding his father.
In this city 1t has been reported from
time to time that Mr.. Grays health has
not been very good since going with the
Great Northern, and he also wished to
get back on the line where he spent
a quarter of century climbing.

He declared that Hawthorne exaggerated
some OF the conditions. Enders also
claimed to be intimately acquainted with

that Jennings was now a candidate for

not offer to explain this statement more

ANNUAL MEETING Of
CHAMBER ON FEB. 26
Postponed Another Day in
Order to Give Rad
cliffe Time

Again has the Chamber of Commerce
postponed it's annual meeting. this time
until Thursday, February 26. The time
for the annual meeting was first set
on February IS. This, however, inter
fered with the work for the regional
hank, and the date was made Wednes-
day. February 25. President ect
Shook however, now says 1t will be
agreeable to him If the date is put for
ward one day, in order to allow Secre-
tary Radcliffe more time to prepare the
annual report.
Mr.. Radcliffe was untirinG in his ef-
forts in securing data to present be-
fore the federal reserve commission In
Atlanta, and for this reason has given
but little time to the making of the
srnual reports. There was much work
to he done, even after the return of the
committee from Atlanta, and he has
given much of his time to the matter
1t Is believed now that he will be in
readiness by Thursday afternoon with
his reports, and the meeting will be
hold in the auditorium of the Chamber
of Commerce Thursday night, beginning
1T o'clock.
Another factor in the postponemeni
was the fact that a number of visitors
from the Cleveland Chamber of Com
merce are to be here all day Wednes-
day, February 25, and will be enter
tained by the local chamber.
At that meeting. which is to be 9
general one, the newly elected officers
and directors and trustees will be In
augurated and President Harding will

coming In on every train from every point
In the south.
1t is realized by the postal inspectors
that the crisis has been reached In the
conflict between the authorities and the
band of expert train robbers who have
made birmingham their headquarters
during the past two years, and in which
nearly half million dollars has been
stolen in numerous holdups. This last
daring holdup is expected to prove the
Waterloo Of the bandits, as they left
their traces behind this time
That the robbers knew exactly what
they were after is evidenced by the fact
that they did not bother with the ex-
press car. 1t is known that the express
companies do not ship money at night
any more, owing to the numerous rob,
berries of its express cars in the past two
years.
None of the passengers were disturbed
although quite a few of them state that
they were awakened by loud curses, and
that they hastily hid their jewels. The
train was in charge of Conductor John
White Engineer B. ]. Murphy and Fire
man Aderholt were on the engine. Mur-
ply and Aderholt are residents of Bir-
mingham. and they gave graphic account
Of the robbery yesterday to their friends
There were five clerks in the mail car
at the time of the robbery, and all We're
unarmed. They opened the door for the
bandits because they feared that the car
would be blown up with dynamite.
