As Pastor Grace Church, Prosperity Will Travel for Theological Seminary. prosperity, 'April 4.-When Rev. r. Kreps tendered his resignation the council of Grace church Wed ay evening general consterna ion prevailed. We do not remem r when we have been before so re t to announce, believe and that such a misfortie para nt is true. This came as an en ly unexpcted, unpleasant sur se 'to the many warm friends he ni his family have made during their sojourn in our midst. It is in deed a blow to have to give up our beloved pastor and friend, for we had, hoped he would long remain shepherd of his present sheep. How ever, since he has considered the question and decided that he could do more effective work & traveling agent of the Theological Seminary Fund, it is not the policy of Grace church to be selfish, and perforce she has been made to agree to sacrifiee her perso'nal feelings and local welfare to the good of the Southern church at large. Realizing that the Semi nary and the future training of our Ministerilll axe two of our most vi tal questions, we feel honored that "the powers that he'' chose to hon or Grace ehureh by deciding that her pastor was the man best quali fled to discharge the difficult task of augmenting the present fund. We are more than grieved to have Mr. Kreps leave us for he has not only been a factor in the religious life of the community, but of the social and political as well. Being a broad minded, well informed, uuprejuidiced, aggressive man, his loss will be deep ly felt on all sidez. The stands that he has taken on all questions have been for the best interest of church, town and state. As to his executive ability--his success in the doing of difficult ,4hings-wr need but mention the magnificent pile of brick and mor tar and stained glass that now rears its tower heavenward from the same grove where the dear, but ahtiquated old Gra.e church called our forefath ers to prayers. This church was a monumental undertaking and a qnument it will remain to the pa ienee, judgment, good taste and al of him who labored so long, so aithfully, so diligently and ulti mately, so suecessfully, long after its .present members and frequenters are one with iNinevah and Tyre. It is gratifying to know that since IProideiee 1has seemlingly dhown us a frowning face in this reraovai, that Mr. Kreps leaves us freghted with nothing bhut good-will., love cud 4 -steem, and that he bears towards as 'nothing but the kindest, tender et feelings As a congregation we have often been remiss for we are not a model one in all respects, but we feel that a little explained, a little endured, a little passed over as a foible, and to the jagged atoms will fit like a smooth mosaic. And who can do this more generously, fully and readily than this one who has served us so wel nickness and in health, in neadin shade?i And yet there is another! "Not~ that we love Caesar less, but Rome more,'' that we repeat this little pleasantry. One day a str%nger seeing Mr. Kreps and being impress ed by his bearing inquired "Who is that?"' Baek came the reply, "Oh, that's Mrs. Kreps' husband.'' When we begin to say how mueh we shall miss Mrs. Kreps, or attempt to paint a word picture of her we know not where to turn. We think of Wordsworth 's poem about " a per fet woman nobly planned-,a crea ture not too bright nor good for hu man nature's daily food' '-these in turn are supplemented by innuamer able lines from Tennyson whieh rowd into our mind and yet we are at a loss to find just the one that typiies her. It is mild to say that she, is the modern version-the per soification of the Master's last com nand-the very quintescence of the 'missionary spirit. Her motto and ,/daily life and teaching may be said A be the ptti-ng into practice of !these lines: "For the Lord Jesus Christ's sake Do all the good you can, To all the people you ,can, In all the ways you can, As long as ever you can." Since being with us and becoming one of us she has endeared herself to old and young, rich and poor, white and black. Her rich graces of heart and mind, her charming, com pelling personality and her eloquence have become well nigh proverbial. Truly she has given ta the world the best that she has and truly the best-at least, the best of our love, sympa thy and good wishes go back to her, and only the rich treasure she has stored in heavee while here will really show how much she has accomplished and how much appre eiated her efforts have been. The entire family will be greatly missed. The seven interesting "son flowers'" have won their way into the hearts of all the young people and the older ones as well, and they, too, came in for their share of regret. We are confident that only sincere and lasting regret follows in the wake of this announcement. It will indeed be difficult to separate Mr. Kreps in thought from our new church. It will be like June with out its roses-or, color without light. He seems as much a part of our symphony in white and gold as the pulpit or the reading desk themselves. And when in the fullness of time and in the eternal fitness of things our esteemed shepherd and ibishop is called to a glorious reward in the land that is fairer than 'day that his crown will be resplendent with many more stars than would have been his, had he not cast his lot among us. After May 15, Mr. Kreps wil no longer be a familiar figure on our bstreets, for he will then assume his new duties. We congratulate Colum bia or Newberry, for one of them is to number this helpful, agreeable family among -her very own. But we trust that, despite the abundance of good things and supe rior advantages that our sister ,ities have to offer. we will not be. forgotten but that their stay in Pros perity will prove one of the grand est, most oft reviewed pictures that hang on- their fond memory's wall.

"Robert,'' she cried, "if you ask me another question I shall, put you to bed without supper.'' Robert promptly asked another and was packed off to bed. Later is mother repented. After all, ask ing questions was the only way he could acquire knowledge; so she tip toed upst.airs, knelt beside Robert's bed, arnd told him she was sorry. "Now, dear,'' she said, "if you want to ask one more question be fore you go to sleep, ask it now, and I will try to answer.''

HIS TRAGIO DERBAM. A Grin .Ghost :Story That, Comes From the Netaierlands. The following remarkable ghost story is told .of two brothers, mem bers of a distinguished family i1n Friesland, a provimce of the Nether lands: The young men were officers in the same regiment, and their only fault-a certain rasfi valor, so dif ferent from t'he quiet prudence sc characteristic of their nation made their comrades almost idolize them. These young officers were exceed ingly anxious to see a ghost and took a great deal of pains to plunge inttc all sorts of gloomy places in the hop* of finding them tenanted by beings from the other world. At last they seem to fmnd the orthodox old castle with its haunted room. Everybody bore witness to the horrible sights and sounds eightly to be seen and heard therein, and these young gen tlemen determined 'to .pass the nighi there. It was Christmas eve, and they provided themselves with a good supper and a bottla of wine each, a fire, lights and lo.aded pistols. ThE hburs wore on. No ghost was seen; no ghostly sounds were heand. ThE *unguIer brother, wrapped closely ir his warm cloak, laid his head on thE +a.he and dalihbrnaelv regned him .14' TiLLOWBEW0OK TO OPEN.

Whisky in those days and in those par,ts was a very weird drink Queer effects were sure to follow it. The tenderfoot knew he must expect something out of the comnmon, but, for all that, he was taken aback when the ,bartender handed him a small whisk broom along with the bottle and glass. "Tenderfoot like, he didn't care to expose his ignorance by asking what the wvhisk broom was -for, so he just stood there and fgeted. He didn't drink. He waited in the hope that somebody would come in and show him what was what. "'Well, in a few minutes a big chap in a red' shirt entered. He too, ordered whisky, and he, too, got a broom. "The tenderfoot watched him closely. He poured himself a gener-. ous drink, tossed it off, and, taking up his whisk broom, went over into a ceorner and carefully cleaned on the floor a space about 7 feet by 3.
