and Sabbath-school Extension. Its collection
is to come in March. The sum of $33,000 is urgently
needed to meet the demands of this great work of the
Church.

Presbyterians have stood stoutly in the past for two
things, viz: The Family Altar and Catechetical instruction.
Their faithful observance has developed the
^ strongest and the best character. God forbid, that our
JCV people should ever fail in either of these vital duties!

for the perfect recitation of the Catechisms; the Presbyterian
of the South, continuing this good custom,,
publishes this week, page 275, its Honor Roll. All
honor, indeed, to the diligent children; all honor, too,
to those faithful teachers and parents that have accomplished
this splendid task! We hope the list will be
much larger next year.
One of the most remarkable situations ever developed
in the history of American religious journalism
is that brought about by the order of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee, declaring the union between the
Cumberland Presbyterian and Northern Presbyterian
Churches invalid in that State. The Cumberland Presbyterian,
which for decades has been the organ of that
denomination, and for a year or so, of the union branch
of the division, is now turned over to the Loyalists, or
anti-union element. Of course, the subscribers are falling
away fast as the autumn leaves. Of course, also,
another paper is to be founded?the Presbyterian Advance,
it is to be called?and Dr. J. E. Clarke, the versatile
former editor of the Cumberland Presbyterian, is
to be reinstated on its storm-swept tripod, although, no
announcement of the "founding of the Advance was
allowed in the Cumberland Prechvterian b\r now
owners. We imagine that most of his former subscribers
will learn of it somehow, and follow him. Dr.
Clarke is too well seasoned by his course in religious
journalism to let a little Supreme Court decision obfuscate
his faculties.
Immediately following a serious surgical operation,
Rev. W. H. Morrow died at his home in Springdale,
Ark., at 4:30 p. m., Tuesday, February 22d, 1910, closing
a young life of eminent usefulness. Mr. Morrow
graduated from Arkansas College at Batesville, in the
claSS of 180C. anrl frnm TTninn ^pminarv in irinn
was licensed in June and ordained in October, 1900,
by Arkansas Presbytery and served a number of
churches in the Home Mission fields of that Presbytery
until November, 1907, when, under the advice of his
physician, he accepted the call of the Springdale and1
Hazel Glen churches in Washburn Presbytery and removed
there. For several years he has been a member
of the Board of Trustees of Arkansas College and Secretary
of the same, and for three years the Stated Clerk
of the Synod of Arkansas. Earnest, forceful and effect
ive as a preacner; diligent, laithtul and sympathetic as a
pastor, he won and held the confidence and affection^
of every congregation in which he labored.
