MEMORIAL TO MRS. W. E. HALL

Since the last meeting of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary, death has stricken
from our roll the name Of one Of our
choicest members. Mrs. w. E. Hall
entered into rest from the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Hall Sheriff., at
Pensacola, Fla, May 10, 1917, and,
although we are still stunned with the
suddenness Of her going away, yet
the benediction of her presence still
seems to rest upon us.
We recall her gentle manner, her
courteous, dignifed bearing, her
sweet domestic ways, her neighborly
kindnesses. Hers was a character of
quiet strength, whose great poise and
serenity bespoke an unusual power of
self control. She was a woman so
cheerful, so companionable, so intelli-
gently appreciative of the good in her
fellow men and women, so adaptable
to her environment, for she had lived
and visited in a number of the south
ern states, and was always and every
where the same gracious, Christian
gentlewoman.
One friend made this unusual state
ment. II don't see how Mrs. Hall
could have been improved upon; and
another said several years ago, my
respect for Mrs. Hall keeps me from
criticizing anyone in her presence.
She was faithful in that which was
least, as well as that which was much.
All Christians must wear the yoke,
and Duty is often hard, but in her
case we may well believe that most
duties were privileges, for she loved
the things of the kingdom and surely
her service was acceptable to Him
who loveth cheerful giver.
AS co-worker with us in this Aux
iliary, she was intelligent and helpful,
and if we could point out to the
heather women for whom we labor
and pray today a high example Of
Christian womanhood we could select
no better model than her who has
now entered into the New Jerusalem.
Eye hath not seen nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart
of man the things which God hath
prepared for them who love Him.
In view of the thoughts just recited
and many others unexpressed, be it
resolved by US members of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary of the First Presby-
terrain church, Covington, Tenn:
That we feel our association as
co-workers with Mrs. Hall has
blessed and enriched our lives, that in
her death we have sustained an ire
parable loss, and that we express oul
sympathy to the members of her fam
lily in their sad bereavement.

PETROGRAD, Sept. 19.-The first
lesson of the incipient Korniloff revolt.

army
Premier Kerensky, Minister of War
Verkhovsky and Minister of Marine
Verdervski are now at the front in pur-
suance with a plan of rehabilitation an
nounced formally in a proclamation by
General Verkhovsky. The minister de-
clared the new army would be "a
mighty revolutionary army" which
will soon become strong again and
will resist to the end for the dignity
and safety of the fatherland."
Firm discipline is to be Instituted
at once and all advisory committees
of soldiers are to be banned.
Arrangements have been started
whereby the army will hereafter be
kept in complete touch with develop
ments so that in the future no leader
will be able to play on the soldiers

Premier Kerensky will himself be In
supreme control of the military forces.
In the meantime a systematic wedding
out process is to be undertaken to re-
move all disaffecting elements.
The cabinet crisis settled, the Kornil-
off revolt quelled and plans for reorgan-
ization of the army started underway,
the provisional government today turned
it's energies toward preparing for the
constituent assembly which will fix Rus
sia's form of government
Active steps were begun throughout
the nation to establish voting boards
and the complicated machinery by which
delegates will be selected for the con-
stitutional conference on December IL.
Premier Kerensky from the army
front where he is aiding in investiga-

KornilOff's fate was in the hands of the
provisional government today.
He completed his defense last night
before the special governmental commits

of the generals revolt, submitting a full
statement In writing. Examination of
other officers involved with the former
commander-in-chief in the rebellion was
continuing today, but full report from
the commission, making Recommendation
as to future action, is expected shortly.
Meanwhile Korniloff continues in
strictest custody of the provisional gov
eminent. He and twenty-three Of his
officers are confined in hotel at Mohi-
lev. guarded carefully.
All Russia is anxious to learn what
defense the former generalissimo has
made to the treason charges against
him. The demand on the part of the
public that he be executed as the best
possible example to all Russia's troops
that discipline is to be enforced with
out fear or favor. showed little abate-
ment today. In the streets the greatest
interest was manifest in whether the
Investigating commission would recon-
mend a civil trial or a military court
martial for Korniloff Premier Keren-
sky's proclamation specifically branding
Korniloff as a traitor, it was recalled,
ordered that he and his accomplices be
delivered to civil tribunals OF Justice"
