Write for information to
J. R. DOBBYNS, President
of the First Presbyterian church, Tex
arkana, Tex. For two years he has
also been the manager of the Benevo
lent Campaign in Texas, and it was
his splendid success in this large and
difficult field that brought him to the
attention of the Stewardship Commit
tee and caused his election by this
committee to this position of larger
responsibility. The importance of this
position is greatly increased by the
fact that all the committees have en
trusted their interests to the Systema
tic Committee and have pledged their
hearty and loyal support in carrying
out all of its plans.
Dr. Galbraith has accepted the posi
tion, has been released by his Presby
tery and has moved to Montreat for
the summer, where he can now be ad
dressed. It gives us great pleasure to
commend him to our entire Church as
a most worthy successor of our late
lamented Rev. R. L. Walkup.
I trust that he may have the hearti
est co-operation and support.

A CALL FOR CHAPLAINS , FOR THK
NAVY.
A Call for Chaplains for tlie Navy:
Recently an urgent call has come from
the navy through Chaplain Frazier for
additional chaplains to the number of
about one hundred.
I have been asked to nominate a
few good men from our denomination

this kind of ministerial work.
The position of navy chaplain offers
a good field for Christian service.
Ministers who would like to be consid

send me at once a statement to that

GIFTS TO THE CHURCH AT MAU
BEIGE, FRANCE.
Mrs. J. B. Halyburton, treasurer of
the Huguenot Evangelical Society of
Richmond, Va., wishes to let it be
known to those who so generously
responded to the appeal for an extra
gift of one hundred dollars to aid in
restoring the church building at Mau
beuge, that the amount has been
made up and sent on to Rev. Charles
Merle d'Aubigne. The regular con
tribution of the Huguenot Evangelical
Society goes toward the salary of one
of the two young pastors at Mau
beuge. A recent letter from one of
these. Rev. Daniel Monod, says that
they would like, if they had the
means, to purchase a larger lot in a
more desirable location and put up a
new church building more suited to
their needs. The mission at Mau
beuge was a very strong one before
the war. To show the importance of
the location the Associated Press said
recently: "Louis Loucheur, Minister
of Reconstruction, on Friday relight
ed the blast furnace in the Senelle
factory at Meubeuge, the first to be
reopened in Northern France."
A LITTLK CHILI) SHALL. LEAD
THEM.
Some months ago our hearts were
made glad by the announcement that
a little child had been born, a son
to Rev. Sixten Edhegard and wife.
There was on the announcement a
photo of the grass hut in which he
was born. Their permanent home had
not been built, so that his birthplace
was not pretentious at all, due to the
fact that the station was still also in
her infancy. The little boy grew and
only about two months later his fath
er and mother came to live at Mutot'o.
One hundred and twenty miles in a
hammock is a hard trip for a grown
man, but Siften, Jr., or Lutonga, as he
had been named by the natives, stood
the journey well.
On hearing of their arrival, we all
went to see the father and mother,
but especially Lutonga. He lived up
to all reports, being a well, strong
and wide-awake boy.
Time passed and the boy grew, al
ways being well and full of life. Liv
ing on the same station, we saw much
of him. When the time came for his
parents to go on their furlough he
went with them, being a cause of won
der and amazement to the natives en
route.
We had been on the steamer on
the way to America only about a day
when he was taken sick at Bonia.
The doctor was called. When he came
he said, "The child will be very sick
for five days and then he will be bet
ter." That was Wednesday, and we
anxiously inquired, hoped and prayed
that Lutonga would be spared, but

tired little soul left us and at sun
down the little body was buried be
neath the waves of the Gulf of Guinea.
Had he lived three days longer he
would have been eleven months old.
Pray for his suffering parents in their
sad affliction.
The birthplace of Lutonga ere this
has been torn down. No man can tell
where is his grave, but shall his mem
ory be lost? Our eternal Father will
not allow his life to have been wasted.
His parents will keep green his mem
ory in their hearts. Those of us who
have known him can never forget him.
Will not some one take his place in
the ranks? While only a child, yet
potentially a herald for Christ in
Congo. May not some one be led to
come to this land and do the work
that Lutonga cannot now do?
P. S.
We are very iniirm in our grasp
upon the intention of the gospel if
we think of the three years of the
God-man ministry as anything other
than the prelude to a divine oratorio
permanently continued. Those years,
and what occurred in them, are no
relics, no curious anomalies to be rel
egated to the museum of religious an
tiquities. They are the momentary
flash of everlasting realities; the rift
in the cloud that gives us a glimpse
of the heavers in all the unvarying
beauteousness of blue with which the
whole circumference of years and cen
turies is canopied. ? Dr. C. H. Park

ALEXANDRIA, VA.,
Offers a good course in all branches

Miss Fanny Carter, Superintendent.
McGuire's University
School
A private school for Richmond boys, offering oppor
tunities for personal attention, character-building,
and physical development impossible to be obtained in
crowded public schools.
Every boy is under the personal observation of in
structors who are chosen for their moral and mental
fitness.
The first principle of the school is to perpetuate th e
ideals of its founder, the late John P. McGuire, who wan
in his work the supreme task of moulding character
i n the boys.
The location of the school In William Byrd Park
(car lines right at hand), gives the boyB the use of the
great city playground on which the school fronts.
Four baseball diamonds, running track, football fields
and tennis courts give McGuire boys unequaled op
portunities for physical development. Tne health
record of the school is admirable, due doubtless to the
location and modern ventilating system installed in
the school.
The scholastic record of McGuire's boys after enter
ing college is a source of pride and satisfaction. Pros
pective patrons of the school can readily obtain de
tailed information from the principal, or from pro
fessors in Virginia colleges and universities.
The Lower School, under Miss Harris, is open to
boys who have learned to read. Boys remain in the
lower school until far enough advanced to enter the
Upper School.
Tuition and expenses are within the reach of all.
