Wednesday, August 16, 1905. RALEIGH CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE. 0 pit?v. W. L. Grissom and family are spending awhile at Ocean Grove, N. J. Hex- I). II.

Sam Barcus, of one of the Texas Con ferences, lias been elected to fill the Chair of Theology in Southwestern University. Rev. T. A.

Franklin, who graduated at Trin itv last commencement, has been elected Principal of Wakefield High School. He is a young man of very bright promise. Rev. T. A. Sikes held a very successful meeting at Fair Promise on the Siler City Circuit. He had no assistance from any preacher, but the Spirit was present in power. Dr. Walker Lewis is busily engaged in writing "The Life and Ministry of Chas. W. Crittenton; nr, the Corning Glory of Modern Missions." He will bring the book out this fall. Dr. J. W. Boswell, of the New Orleans Chris tian Advocate, does not apprehend a wide range of scourge of yellow fever now prevailing, but says that church work is being greatly hindered. Bishop Ilendrix says that when a nail is driven into the head and then clinched is a mighty good time to quit. To keep pounding and hammering away until the head of the ail is hammered off is a mistake. The time for the opening of Wesley Memorial Hospital has been named Wednesday, August 10th. Much interest centers in this enterprise, ns it is the first hospital opened by our Church in the South. Bishop Wilson has suggested that an appropri ate memorial to Francis Asbury, the most in domitable itinerant in the history of American Methodism, would be an equestrian statue some where in the city of Baltimore. The Charlotte Observer speaks in high terms of the preaching of Rev. J. S. Nelson in Tryon Street, Charlotte, on last Sunday. Brother Nel son is one of our veterans. He has been in the active service forty-nine years. The Children's Visitor has reached a circula tion of 97,200. We wonder if our people realize what an excellent juvenile paper they have in the itior. It is exciting favorable comment outside T'ie hounds of Southern Methodism. Rev. J. II. Shore is spending a few clays in Per sou bounty. He has held latelv some very suc cessful meetings in which there were some re markable conversions. He passed through Ra eiffh on Friday and honored us with a visit. Dr. W. II, Whitaker is conducting a very suc cessful meeting at Princeton. It was the writers Privilege on last Frida night to be present and 1,1 each to a large congregation. There were sev eral professions and accessions. Rev. Lea White !s wiping l)r.

The British Wesleyan Methodist Conference at session TipM in "R'cnl "Rno-lnnd. aD- itTi its ex-president, Silvester Whitehead, as onf. atenial Delesate to the General Confer vht.l tllG 1Ictnodist Episcopal Church, South, L' ls to be held in the city of Birmingham, a-. m Uay, 190G. Dr. J. C. Kilgo will dedicate the new Methodist Church in Nashville. X. C., on the third Sunday in September. All former pastors are invited by the pastor, Rev. H. G. Stamey, to be present. A good friend of Dr. Palmore, knowing one direction of his genius sends him the following: "What is the difference between an optimist and a pessimist?" One sees the whole dou-lmut, while the other sees the hole in thee doughnut. St. Louis Christian Advocate. Rev. L. E. Sawyer writes : "On the first Sundav we closed a gracious revival at Farmville, with three accessions on profession of faith. The church was generally revived. Rev. J. T. Erwin, of Nashville, Tenn., did the preachin ?. We be gin at McKendree the third Sunday." Rev. S. F. Nicks writes that he has held his meetings at Bethel and Shiloh and that there were fine revivals at both places. Twenty-four new members were received at the two places. Rev. N. G. Bethea, of the Methodist Protestant Church, helped him at both places. Rev. John H. Barker made us a pleasant visit as he passed through Raleigh on his way to Greensboro. lie is now representing the Home Life Insurance of Greensboro. He is having great success in this line of work. While not able to preach often, he yet manages to he the brethren considerably at times. The state of Southern Methodism in Washing ton, D. C, is such as to rejoice all lovers of the church. We no longer even think of any depres sion as existing in our church there. Locke, Blakemore, Hawk, Ballengee, and Jeffries, are the happy and energetic pastors of our thriving con gregations. Southern Christian Advocate. We regret to announce that Bishop A. Coke Smith is seriously ill in Asheville. While on his way to that place from Norfolk he contracted a severe cold, which resulted in pneumonia. His condition was reported critical at one time, but the latest dispatches say that the crisis has been passed and that he is much better. A Spanish translation of Bishop Candler's ad mirable little book, "Christus Auctor," the work of Prof. S. I. Esquivel, of Collegio Palrnore, Chi huahua, is running in the current numbers of El Evangelista Mexicano, organ of our Church in Mexico. The young translator is doing his work well. Nashville Christian Advocate. We are a little late in presenting our congratu lations to Mr. R. M. Phillips, editor of the Morn ing Post, on his accession to the presidency of the North Carolina Press Association at its late meeting in Asheville, but our congratulations are none the less sincere. The choice of Mr. Phillips was an excellent one for the Association. Rev. B. C. Allred writes: "I closed a good meeting at Cokesbury yesterday. The Lord was with us in every service. I had no ministerial help, but a number of good lay workers. Thirty conversions and reclamations and eighteen addi tions to the church and the church greatly re vived. I commence at Shady Grove to-morrow." I have held eight services at Zion Church. We received into the church fifteen on profession of faith, and others to join. There were also about forty reclamations. Our people also expect to remodel their church, and some of them say they ought to increase the preacher's salary 50 per cent. The above stands as the visible results of our meeting among those people who are now prospering and eveloping. Rev. B. F. DeLoatch, in Mount Olive Tribune. A Sunday School Missionary Society was or ganized ot Mount Zion Church, Currituck charge, Elizabeth City District, North Carolina Confer ence, on the second Sunday in July with about twenty members. The following officers were elected : Mr. D. R. Scott, President ; Mrs. Joseph Dowdy, Vice-President; Miss Laura Evans, Secre tary, and Mrs. D. R. Scott, Treasurer. The per sonnel' of these officers is sufficient to guarantee success to this worthy enterprise. Mr. William II. Borden, of C.oldsboro, N. C. died on August 15. His funeral will be conducted today from St. Paul M. E. Church. South, by Rev. W. L. Cuninggim, the pastor. The deceased was a man of great prominence in the State, and was one of the most influential members of our church in Goldsboro. All the bereaved have the deepest sympathies of the Advocate. A private letter from Rev. II. C. Tucker, of Rio do Jeneiro, written July 5th, says (hat. Bishop Hoss had arrived, and after spending a week in that port, had gone into the interior to inspect the work. He expected to be able to visit all but one of the nresiding elders' districts before the Annual Conference met. It was to assemble on July 27th. Texas Christian Advocate. The Central Methodist does us the honor to place in its columns that part of our letter in the Advocate relating to Kentucky, and would convict us of forgetting the Central as we passed through Louisville. We assure our much-appreciated con temporary that we did think of the Central and its able editor, and reirrctted our inability to stop. We do not look upon the "Cabbage Patch" as the whole, show in Louisville. The episcopal residence purchased at Dallas, Texas, for Bishop Hoss, at $10,500, has been found to be an unwieldy piece of property, and has been sold for $17,000. This will pay a debt on the property and leave $1,000 with which the trus tees may buy and pay for a more suitable home, which will be done in consultation with Bishop Hoss when he returns from Brazil. The Texans are delighted with the Bishop, and look to him in the years to come as a "leader in the fight to win that great Commonwealth for Christ." Ex change. They will not let doughty Ceorge Rankin, of the Texas Advocate, alone. lie lives amid the regular whizzing of bottles aimed at him. Only a few months ago he was challenged to fight a "juel." Now the Cumberland Presbyterian Ban ner shies at him the charge that a recent unusual ly excellent editorial in the Advocate was written bv Bishop Hoss. Dr. Rankin loses no time in let ting the Banner know that he "writ" the editorial in question, and that he can write more like it ad infinitum. And he can. We all know him. Better let Rankin alone. Our good Brother Waddell used to be Superin tendent of the Epworth Orphange, South Caro lina Conference. For some time he has been ably editing the Southern Christian Advocate. A few days ago the Orphanage received from a Sunday school superintendent a check for Rev. G. TT. Waddell, superintendent. That Sunday-school superintendent does not take his church paper. Onlv a few months ago one of our stewards in the North Carolina Conference expressed his belief to a questioner that Rev. F. L. Reid is editor of the Raleiuh Christian Advocate. Brother Reid, once uiitor of the "Old Raleigh," has been in heaven for years. So you see, Brother Waddell, we are even. Alas, for editorial fame! Alas, for the dense ignorance of the Methodist who will not take his church paper! Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese Minister at Washington, and now Vice-President of the Hoard of Foreign Affairs at Pekin, China, con tends that the United States is making a great mistake in not discriminating between the higher Chinese class and the coolies. It seems that any Chinaman, no matter what his station or charac ter may be, is subjected to what he considers in dignities on reaching this country. Wu Ting Fang is right. There is serious work ahead of the United States Government in its adjudication of this very vexed matter, which is constantly assum ing more serious proportions. China is a differ ent China from twenty years ago. The whole country is waking from its long sleep. It has begun to respect itself, and this self-respect must be respected by the United States and all other governments.
