NicGrGgudn Journey

SPR1NGDALE. Ark, Nov. 3D.
The United States postal service has
come in for considerable criticism in
the last few years. but w. H. Cowan.
OF Springdale. not only is ready to
defend it, but to sing its praises for
| speed, as compared with the serv-
ice OF at least one country with
which he has had experience.
| On June Z. 1910, Mr.. Cowan mailed
a letter to his cousin. Or. Otto Chris
tian, addressed to Bluefields. Mic
aragua, Central America. On Oct.
49, 1920. MIR. Cowan received the let
ter, unopened, unsoiled and other
wise in good condition. 1t had made
the round trip to Nicaragua and re-
turn in few months more than 10
years.
The back stamp on the letter
showed that it left New York for
Central America on June 9, 1910, two
days after 1t was mailed in Spring
dale. Another stamp shovel that 1t
reached New York on the return trip
oct. rs, 1920, or just two days before
it reached its writer here.
DR.. Christian, to whom the letter
was addressed, and whose movements
prevented delivery of the letter, has
since been a member of the A. b.
f.. and now is stationed at Camp
Dix, n. j. He was in Springdale last
month, but left few days before the
arrival Of the letter. 1t has heen
forwarded to him by registered mail
by Mr. Cowan, unopened.

PINE BLUFF, Ark, Nov. 23.-lt
Is an unusual thing for a Southern
Methodist preacher to remain in
charge OF the same church for a pc
riOd of six years and be appointed
for the seventh, as was the Rev. f..
X. Steel, pastor of the First Method
list church at Pine Bluff by Bishop
+. d. Mouzon, Sunday at the annual
conference, just closed at Camden.
Mr.. Steele came to Pine Bluff from
Conway in the Arkansas conference,
six years ago, succeeding DR.. James
Thomas, who was named commits
sioner of Hendrix college, and just.
before his four years closed the gen.
eral conference removed the four
year restriction of serving the same
charge, and Mr.. Steel was reappoint-
ed for the three next succeeding an
nual conferences. This was done on
the strong recommendations of the
officials of the church and the men,
bership in general.
The congregation Is now in the
midst of building a $175,000 house Of
worship, and as the project was be
gun under Mr. Steels ministration it
was deemed the best plan to allow
him to finish the work.
When he came here the member
ship was about 450, and now it num-
bers $40, and the finances have in
creased even to a greater proportion.
The budget last year was $l2,975 eX-
elusive of the centenary money and
that expended on the new church
which brought the total near the $50,
600 mark.
Besides the local activities this
church during Mr.. Steels term has
built a $4,000 church in Brazil, is
building $4,000 hospital in Brazil,
is maintaining a missionary in China
and is supporting several Bible wom-
en- and has special work in Africa,
and much of the credit of the &C
tivities is due to the efficient and
| loyal work of this man.
