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! 5q a.

NO. 9. 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. i i
