DEEPEST WELL A FAILURE.

IAN artesian well a mile deep was
sunk in Texas at little place called
Spur" said A. F. Wells, of Waco.
The promoters who spent the money
TO drill the hole lost big sum, and
the only thing. they got was a symp-
tom of water. They were not so lucky
as Bret Harte's hero, who tried for
water and got oil.
This well, 1t is said, cost the pro-
jectors more than $40 900. They made
the boring because they expected to
increase the value of a great big tract
of land which had been opened up.
That well, I believe. is the deepest
ever bored in any part of the United
States, and 1t didn't yield. There is
well not far from Waco that is
pouring forth great stream Of pure
water which reached a depth of more
than $500 feet. Until that well was
drilled Waco held the record for depth
with half a dozen borings that ex-
ceeded 5000 feet"

Clergyman, at installation of
Pastor, Says People Are
More Than Sheep.

Members of the Presbytery of Nor
ris and orange were well represented
last night at the installation of Rev.
thomas w. Smith as pastor of
the Arlington Avenue Presbyterian
Church, East Orange. Mr. Smith ac-
cepted a call to the pastorate from
the St Nicholas Avenue Presbyterian
Church, New York, where he was
pastor twenty years. He succeeds
Rev. Robert Russell Wicks, who re-
signed to become pastor of the Sec
ond Congregational Church, Haver-
hill, Mass.
Although he took up his new duties
Sunday, December 6, the formal in
stilation, of Rev. Mr. Smith did not
take place until last night. The oc-
casion was made notable by the
presence of Rev. DR.. John M.
Thomas. president of Middlebury
College. Vermont, who was the first
pastor of the church, remaining in
that position until succeeded by Mr.
Wicks. 1t was he wos was selected
to preach the sermon last night,
while Mr.. Wicks delivered the charge
of the congregation.
Services were opened by invocation
by Rev. John Fulton Patterson,
pastor OF Central Presbyter an
Church, Orange. The scripture yes
son was given by Rev. r. H. M.
Augustine. as moderator. The
prayer of installation was offered by
Rev. Robert Brewster Beattie, of
Mum Avenue Presbyterina Church,
East Orange, and the charge to the
new pastor was delivered by Rev.
Charles e. Jefferson, of the Broad
way Tabernacle, New York. After
the services, benediction was pro-
nounced by the new pastor.
A rem nder that the church men,
bers should take an active rather
than a passive interest In helping
Mr.. Smith In his work was given by
Mr.. Wicks in delivering the charge
to the congregation. The latter de-
clared that he did not consider the
new pastor had come merely to look
tfter" his people.
"I submit" he said, that the
word shepherd is not complete
description of minister's pastoral
relations with his congregation be-
cause a congregation of intelligent
people is something more than q
flock of sheep.
Sheep" he continued, follow their
leader blindly, but they have no con-
ception of that leaders purpose A

agine when they issue a call to: a
pastor that they have hired a man
to look after them. The result in u
number of cases has been to produce
a certain self-centered petty type nf
church life. 1t has kept the church
out of the great roar and sweep Of
the worlds progress, and has made
1t almost a mockery in the eyes of
some people,
Mr.. Wicks then deplored the ex-
istence Of the careless class of church
members who, if they are absent for
several Sundays and do not receive
a call from their pastor. feel hurt.
"They are waiting to be looked up
declared Mr.. Wicks.> They are in
the sheep stage" He declared this
to be an unhealthy condition" for
a congregation to fall into.
