The Weeping in the Void

by EDMUND VANCE COOKE
There Is weeping In the void
U hope you like that phrase)
That summer soon will lie a.cold,
Despoiled of all her days.
There In weeping In the void
Chat sentence has a singi
And many a poets poem Is sold
BY some such little thing)
There Is weeping In the void
And sobs OF sad reproofs.
And morning frost lies thick as mold
Upon the shaded roofs
There IL weeping In the void:
The years abandoned yeans
Are slain by forces super-souled--
a wonder what that meansD
There is weeping IN the void
or can't mean very much).
And all the poplars turn 90 gold
As at Midas touch.
There is weeping in the void
But none more keen than hers,
who cries the weathers now too cold
To wear her summer fursl

THE PEACE OF GOD THAT
SURPASSETH UNDERSTANDING

We made it our business to go out
to hear the new Southern Methodist
pastor of Lexington charge last Sum
day morning--and we were not disap-
uointed, for in his little Thanksgiving
talk Rev. II. r. Rose gave his hearers
ample reason to believe that the is no
weakling. Sunday morning Rev. Rose
preached on Peace. He said that he
believed that in their harris all the
men and women in the world are
seeking peace--a state of satisfaction.
Some are seeking it mistakenly-for
instance, those who hope to obtain it
through riches and fame; but those
who are seeking it at the hand of God,
whose gift it is to give, can not be
mistaken. He called attention to the
fact that the Savior, while He So
journed on this earth, carried no peck
ct book. When He wanted to illus
trate with penny, He had to ask for
it, and when He had to pay his tax, He
had to send out one of the Apostles
to catch fish in the mouth of which
was found the needed piece Of silver.
The preacher said that the possession
of peace and religion does not call for
a long face, but that one so richly en-
dowed should meet the world with a
glad hand and a smiling face. Christ
told his followers to pray in secret
and we can add that it was the Phar-
isees who did much loud land hypo-
criticalD praying in public to be hard
of men.
But We did not intend to report the
sermon of the new preacher, so we
will desist with the statement that
Lexington church has drawn good
one" in the Conference lottery. Let
US all join in making his stay in Lex
ington both pleasant and profitable
as we should do toward all the resi-
dent ministers. Bro. Rose did lit
tie 'innovating" by asking the choir
to take seats down in front Of him, in
order that he might preach to the
singers as well as to the rest of the
congregation.

SUPREME COURT MAY MEET
NO MORE IN JACKSON.

Jackson, Tenn, Nov. 27,-That
there is little likelihood of securing
supreme court session for West Ten
nessee at Jackson any longer is the
statement of Judge Frank P. Hall, of
that bench, who was in the city last
night. During the closing days of the
! last session of the legislature a bill
was put through calling for the hear
ing of the Shelby county docket at
Nashville instead of Jackson as has
been the case heretofore. The Jack
son bar and other citizens raised
protest, but to no avail Since that
time there has been much discussion
as to getting the act Of the legisla-
ture repealed, but it is doubtful
whether such endeavor will avail
anything, since the court itself is
lined up against the movement.
"Two-thirds of the Memphis bar
asked for the change" stated Judge
Hall, land | am certain the supreme
court itself sanctioned the movement.
A very large part of the docket from
West Tennessee is composed of Shell
by county cases. 1t results, therefore,
in majority action. The Memphis
lawyers claim that they would rather
go to Nashville than to Jackson. 1t
is due | think to train connections
and sleeping car accommodations, as
well as the hotel facilities" continued
Judge Hall.
In addition the supreme court has
the advantage of large library, at
Nashville. The members of the court
can have permanent residences and
can be with their families. Tennessee
is the only state in the union that has
migratory court" stated Judge
Hail.
Asked as to whether any steps had
been taken to have the East Tennes-
see session removed from Knoxville
to Nashville, Judge Hall replied that
he had heard of none but that he ex-
pected such movement to be made
at an early date.
Personally, l would just as soon
come to Jackson to hear West Tennes-
see cases as to sit in Nashville. like
Jackson very much. find living
costs here lower than in Nashville.
The court members have always found
splendid accommodations in this city.
The most cultured homes have been
opened to the Judges stated Judge
Hall.
"But doubt very seriously whether
the court will ever again hold its
full West Tennessee session in thisf

The political wind seems to be
shifting around to the point that to
favor the peace treaty as it was
written at Versailles, with the en-
dorsement of President Wilson, is
Democratic, while to oppose it and
perhaps kill it with reservations is
Republican. Our Tennessee Republi-
can friends, who are already getting
ready for the fray in 1920, seem to
look at it that away. If that is the
way Of it and that question should be
an issue next year, Massachusetts is
