Newport: The Newport Church has
called Rev. U. B. Currie, of Shreveport,
La., who has agreed to accept the call
Presbytery consents.
Forrest City and Lonoke Churches have
called Rev. G. H. Kirker, of Memphis Presbytery,
and he has accepted the calls,
subject to the action of the Presbytery.
Prairie Grove: At the close of Sundayschool,
Jan. 3, at the request of the superintendent,
Rev. J. E. Wylie, in a short,
appropriate talk, presented to the school
the beautiful banner that has been awarded
for having given more, per member,
for Sunday-school extension than any other
Sunday-school in Washburn Presbytery.
We announce right now, that this
banner will remain with us for a long
time if other schools in the Presbytery
do not move up several notches in their
contributions for this cause. This Sundav-schonl

It was so easily won this year we will
make an effort to keep it next. The same
evening a Westminster League was organized
with fourteen members, after Mr.
Wylie had presented the cause to the
young people gathered in the church for
that purpose. Dr. C. L. Moore was elected
persident; Mrs. Douglas Cummings,
vice-president, and Miss Myrtle McCor
micK, secretary-treasurer. On Sunday,
Dec. 19, two members were received, and
on Jan. 2, one on profession. Rev. J. F.
Wylie, evangelist for this Presbytery,
supplies this church once a month. He
is beloved by his own people and those
of other denominations. Under his ministry
we confidently expect great good to
PRESBYTERIAN OF THE SOU1
be accomplished for the cause of our
church and for the Master, in this community.
Walnut Ridge: The holidays brought
the pastor and family many tokens of
good will and appreciation. A handsome
Buffet with a charming note of appreciation
was the gift of a number of friends.

cided success. On Wednesday night a
large number of members and friends met
at the Manse and spent a delightfully
pleasant evening. During the evening
the mortgage, which represented the last
of the debt on the manse was burned.
Three and a half years ago when the
present pastor took charge of this field
the membership numbered less than 20
and was badly disorganized. Real difficulty
was experienced in finding a home
for the pastor. In the face of these discouragements
we went to work and now
we have one of the best Manses in the
Presbytery and all paid for. Much of the
credit is due to the Ladies' Aid Society.
We now have more than sixty members
and good prospect for the future.
To the Chyrches of Arkansas Presbytery:
The Home Misson Committee has
arranged to divide the time of our evangelist,
Dr. W. H. Richardson, with
Ouachita Presbytery. He will spend the
months of January and February in
Ouachita Presbytery. And churches in Arkansas
Presbytery desiring his services
for a meeting in March or April will
please communicate with the chairman,
Rev. R. H. Latnam, at an early date.

The Christmas entertainment of the
Sunday-school was a great success. Giving
rather than receiving was the order
of the hour. Enough substantial groceries,
etc., to start a small store were given
for the poor families of the community,
and a cash offering of more than $280 was
made for the Thornwell Orphanage. A
group of twelve friends in the church
asked the pastor to accept from them an
automobile. Upon his declining this royal

offer they gave him a fine horse and vehicle.
?The First Church has issued an attractive
invitation to the Evangelical Ministers'
Association of Atlanta to be its
guest in the Lecture Room of Mie f!hnwh
on the evening of Jan. 10. The occasion
will be one of unusual interest and the
program is as follows:
Supper. Address, by the Rev. Charles
W. Daniel, D. D., pastor First Baptist
Church. Topic, "The Place of the Pulpit
in the Moral and Religious Development
of Atlanta." Address, by the Rev. C. B.

Church. Topic: "Some Suggestions
Toward Improving the Efficiency of the
Evangelical Ministers' Association of Atlanta.
Greetings, from the Rev. Dunbar

the Rev. E. S. Denipsey, D. D., new pastor
of the Trinity Methodist Church.
His Honor the Mayor, R. F. Maddox,
has been invited to make a short address
on "The Relation of the Churches to the
Civic Righteousness of Atlanta." And
he will be present if his official duties will
permit.
Darien: At the morning service at our
church last Sabbath, Jan. 2, five young
people were received into full membership
on profession of their faith. It is especially
gratifying that these come from
the Sunday-school, showing that something
is being done in that branch of the
Church work. Also, after the service,
one adult came forward for examination
hofnrft ? ? 1
me ?ession, and giving satisfactory
evidence of her determination to
live aright, was also received into the
Church. This makes a total of twentytwo
that have been added to our church' oll
since the first of 1909, and speaks well
for the labors of our esteemed pastor.
The Ladies Aid reorganized, and put to
work under the leadership of his wife,
has also done wonderful work, and made
its usefulness greatly felt. Our Sundayschool
was cut almost in half as to number
of attendance the latter part of last
year, by the organizing of a Methodist
school. But in spite of this, it has grown
somewhat, and is still very much alive.

cently with fifty new song books, (Standard
Songs), and all are greatly pleased
with them, and doing good work learning
them. They also gave an qyster supper
and sale Dec. 17, at which over $60 was
realized. The school was given a Christmas
tree Dec. 27, which gave much pleasure
to all and was of course well attended.
We feel that we can claim to be at
work, and hope for as good a year in
1910 as last.
Savannah: At the quarterly communion
of the Westminster Church Jan. 2,

The outlook for the church for 1910 is
very encouraging. A joint meeting of the
