Editorial Notes |
In the absorbed attention of many parts of the
Church to one or two of the benevolent causes of the
Church, carc should he taken lest others be overlooked
or passed by. The next cause before us is that of Publication
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.
Our attention has been called to the fact that we
omitted one of the ad interim committees appointed by
the last Assembly, viz.: Dr. R. If. Fleming, Dr. R.
Cecil. Dr. L. \V. Irwin, Rev. E. E. Lane and Ruling
Elders G. E. Caskic, Richard Hancock and \V. S. Cur
rcii, "to report to tiie next .Assembly a program for a
semi-centennial celebration to be held in connection
with the Assembly of 1911."

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. Clod forbid, that our
-?v people should ever fail in either of these vital duties!

lur the perfect recitation of the Catechisms; the Presbyterian
of the South, continuing this good custom,
publishes this week, page -?7=;, 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 he
much larger next year.
< >ne 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. K. Clarke, the ver
satile 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 Presbyterian by the new
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. II. Morrow died nt hw home in Snrino-dnle
Ark., at 4:30 p. 111., Tuesday, February 22d. 1910, closing
a young life of eminent usefulness. Mr. Morrow
graduated front Arkansas College at Batesville, in the
class of 1895, and from Union Seminary, in 1900. lie
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, lie accepted the call of the Springdale and'
Hazel Glen churches in W ashburn Presbytery and removed
there. For several years lie has been a member
of the Board of Trustees of Arkansas College and Sccrc
icu v hi uic same, anu ior uiree years xno mated Cleric
of the Synod of Arkansas. Earnest, forceful and effective
as a preacher; diligent, faithful and sympathetic as a
pastor, he won and held the confidence and affection
of every congregation in which he labored.
