Report of Union Meeting at Mt
Zion.

The Union Meeting which con-
vened OH last Saturday at Mt. Zion
church proved to be very trohta.
BILE and interesting occasion.
The day itself was bright and
beautiful, bringing with it the first
touch of spring, and giving a CRATE
ful contrast to the manv stormy
days we Lave had this winter. The
crowd, though small, was apprecia
tive and gave the best Of attention
TO the services.
Despite the absence of several of
the appointed speakers, the pro-
pramme was carried out fully,
every subject being thoroughly and
interestingly discussed, those re-
spending being Mr.. Walter Car
penter, Rev. P. B. Lanham, and
Messrs. S. b. Mays, J./C. Whit
lock aud w. J. Gaines
Several gave expression to the
enjoyment they had experienced in
the discussions, saying that they
had never heard so many good
speeches at one time.
Not the least enjoyable feature of
the occasion was the picnic dinner
eaten out in the bright sunshine.
And it is due to be said that no peo-
pile, in town or country, can serve a
more tasteful or delightful open-air
feast than those Of old Mt. Zion
church.
At the close Of Saturdays SER
vice the Union adjourned in honor
Of the Rev. j. P. Mealing, the sad
news of whose death had been all
nounced, and whose burial was to
take place at Republican church on
the following day.
The next union meeting is to be
held at Antioch church, on the 5th
Sunday in May.

ty years this organization has been
making sentiment along Intelligent
lines, and now that the most press
ing problem before the American
people to-day is rapidly being rec

Tribute to Rev. j. P. Mealing

Shortly after noon on Sunday,
January 81, the mortal remains of
Rev. j. p. Mealing were la!d to
rest in the cemetery of Republican
church beside the grave of his noble
wife who preceded him to the grave
several years ago. MIR. Meaing was
79 years of age and had been in the
service Of God for SO years. No
limit can be set upon the number
OF his friends, nor upon the impress
sions he has made, for who can tell
from how many pulpits ne has pro-
claimed Gods word?
Like the Saviour in whose foot
steps he so faithfully trod, be i'm
pressed all who heard him with his
deep faith in the power and necessi
~ of prayer. His death will be
generally mourned throughout the
state. The deepest sympathy OF hun
dreds of people from both far and
near goes out to his bereaved fami-
ly.
Farewell, dearly loved one
Thy soul is at rest.
Far away from earth's sorrows
In the land Of the blest.
Across the dark waters through
deaths portals cold,
The Saviour has taken his loved
TO his fold.
We will meet thee again
On tnat beautiful shore,
When life with It's SORROW and
weeping is over.
And with thee forever
His praises will sing.
Who has bought and redeemed US,
Our Saviour and king"

Paws to Advertise,

Churches In New York realize the
great advantages of advertising, and
besides using the columns of the daily
papers in their soul-saving work and
electric signs and crosses on their edi-
fees they send out solicitors. men and
women, to help swell their congrega-
tions and enlarge their Sunday schools.
But the most daring church "ad" is
that Of Rev. DIR. Fred Winslow Adams,
pastor of st. Andrews Methodist
Episcopal church. He decided to de.
liver series of sermons on Love
Stories From the Bible" for which he
had an artist draw fetching poster
of two lovers when the moon drops
low. Thousands of copies in blues,
browns and orange tints were distrib-
uted and in addition the pictures were
printed in the newspapers as paid
matter" Since the minister began to
exploit the Love Stories" his cong.e-
cations have more than doubled.
Which again demonstrates that it pays
to advertise.

for prompt announcement of the III

The note arraigns the shelling and
torpedoing of the liner as '.inhumane,
,barbarous.'' and ''wanton slaughter"

In official and diplomatic circles
the communication is regarded as be-
