This Gulf Conference is a small section of the great Methodist Episco pal church-now the largest and most a '. ressi ve body of protestants on the globe. This army of' three million, three hundred thousand members and 1 l600o0 ministers now belt the globe, touch the periphery of all the darth, 1 cover the hemispheres and circum scribe all the seas, all the shores, islands and inlets of the world. Her missiton is to all tongues, peoples, races and realms. She has her tern ] pile undler the very shadow of the Vati- 1 can at Rome. She is preaching the gospel in St. litersburg and even in 1 old Jerusalem, the city of D)avid and Solomon and the Son of Mary, she, has gone with her mess:ge of Peaet'. And so too, coming closer home, this great church is in our south land as an evangil of light and help ito the f millions. Since the stormy day Ab rahain Lincoln was made president of the United States, forty-three years N ago, she has put over $11,000)),0,0 in t money here in church and schools, making $l000 a day for the forty three years. lThis alone puts this peoplie in l the forefront as a help. e of humanity. Still clos -r we ,ome, by stating that in Louisiana, this old muothet' of all the Methodists, is preaching the gos- t pel to five races, tongues and people. Engli b, (German, French. Italian and African. oif c,urse we give the Gulf conference a warm reception and a real royal time. .1. W. Lively. I)ied.

John Paul, a prominent member of the conference, is a native of Rapides parish, Louisiana, born on her soil, rocked in the cradle and nursed at the nipple of the Pelican state.

He is a graduate of our state schoul at Baton Rouge and also of two medi cal colleges, Philadelphia and New Orleans. Only on account of ill health, Dr. Harrison is not a foreign missionary. That is his chosen field. Rev. Clayborne Mann is the stal wart preacher and evangelist of the conference. He is a native of the pine woods of east Texas and came up among the sticks of that far away field, but he is equal to the occasion anywhere and everywhere. The Rev. Mr. Houwk is a new man here.

Walter Hervev, the youthful pastor of Auburn, Miss., is here. He is a Texan by birth and a Methodist circuit rider by conviction. He bears the enviable distinction of being the youngest person to obtain a first-class i certificate of education in his part of Texas, receiving same at the age of sixteen. He, like his humble prede cessors, came up in the pine woods of East Texas. Rev. Louis May, the boy paeacher at Iowa, is also. to the. manor born.

A Noted Visitor. The Rev. L. W. Archer, a venerable member of the DesMoines Conference is a visitor at the Gulf Conference. The Rev. L. W. Archer is not only a venerable minister, but is an old soldier, who followed the fortunes of the flag back in the stormey sixties. He served with distinction in detached service in and around Washington, heard the last public speech of Abra. ham Lincoln and was near Ford's theatre the night of the assasination. It is true too that he was one of the guards of the seven prisoners who were connected with that dastardly deed, and was one of the turnkeys in charge of the famous Mrs. Surratt, and during her trial, he delivered her back and forth from her cell to the courtroom. The presence and person of this ven erable soldier of the two realms is an event of more than ordinary interest. Frank Randolph, formerly manag ing editor of the Crowley Signal has assumed the editorial management of the Lake Charles Daily Press. The Press is to be congratulated upon se curing the services of Mr. Randolph and we trust he will be successful in his new field. WABASH ROUTE TsRoul 1 - ·- - SLEEPERS ......... . . T O :. New York.
