Davidson: The commanding event of
interest on the campus this week was
the student rally Tuesday night, when
the collegians, assembled according to
program, mapped out a course of procedure,
and, with leaders, speakers,
torch lights and brass band, marched en
masse to the home of President Smith
and besieged and besought him to denl
in a tho nail tn tho nraairlannv nf
Washington and Lee and to remain at
the head of Davidson. Fine speeches
were made by L. H. Smith, president
of the student body, who reviewed the
present situation and told what Davidson
thought of Dr. Smith and his work
here; by J. LeR. Boyd, who told why
Dr. Smith should not leave Davidson,
and by D. M. McDonald, who explained
why Dr. Smith is not going to leave
Davidson.
In replying to these eloquent appeals
President Smith showed very great
emotion and deep feeling. While in no
way indicating what his decision is to
be he assured the assembled students
that nothing but an imperative call of
duty, a compelling sense that he ought
* to leave and take up the work in this

Virginia presidency. Every prompting
of his heart, he declared, was to remain
in this his old home, where there were
being given all of these over-powering
testimonials of love and affection and
appreciation.
At the service last Sunday morning
the congregation was privileged to hear
excellent reports of the work of the
Chattanooga Convention, given by Mr.
F. J. Knox, an elder of the Davidson
ehureh, and Dr. J. M. MoConnell, chair

whom attended the conference. Kev. Dr.
Thoi. W. Llngla would alto have beeu
on the program as well ae Dr. W. J.
Martin, but the former was indisposed

was speaking at the missionary rally
at Winston.
At the evening service the speaker
was Rev. J. Kenton Parker, holder of
the Moses D. Hoge fellowship at Union
Theological Seminary, which is under
appointment to go to Korea this spring.
His excellent sermon was heard with
peculiar pleasure as this was his first
appearance in the pulpit here, though
his line work as a student, class 1908,
would cause his friends to expect much
from him. He will be accompanied to
Korea by his brother, W. P. Parker,
wno is doing graduate work here, preparatory
to teaching in the high schools
of the Korean Mission.
Rev. L. W. Curtis, of Hamlet, was a
visitor at Davidson this week.
Winston-Salem: The last two weeks
have been full of interest in WinstonSalem.
The first week especially, in
in the First Presbyterian church for
the Brotherhood, one hundred Btrong,
nad the great pleasure and privilege
of hearing Mr. W. C. Smith, managing
editor of the Missionary Survey, and
of Onward, speak on Personal Work for
the MaBter.
Mr. smith was persuaded to stay over
aud address the congregation on the
regular mid-week service and he had
an audience that filled the Caldwell
Memorial to hear his splendid address.
That was also the Week of Prayer for
Home Missions and was observed by
the women of the Missionary Societies,
Home and Foreign, and conducted by
members of these Societies at 5 P, M.
in the afternoons. These meetings were
well attended.
On Sunday the 11th. the Pastor and
the President of the Brotherhood, Mr.
C. M. Norfleet, gave a deeply interesting
account of the great Laymen's
Meeting at Chattanooga and it was
easy to see how their souls had been
stirred by that eventful occasion.
On Sunday afternoon began the splendid
inter-denominational Laymen's Convention
here, for which such elaborate
and successful preparations had been
made.
There were simultaneous Mass Meetings
at the Elk's Auditorium for the
men and at Liberty Theater for the Women.
At these meetings which were largely
attended addresses were made, to the
men by Professor W. J. Martin of Davidson
College, and Rev. C. F. Reid, of

appealB to the large congregation of
men.
At the closing Bession on Tuesday
night addresses were made by Dr. J. O.
Reavis and Mr. J. CamDbell White.
At all the sessions the large auditorium
of the Methodist church was
crowded with men who showed deep interest
in the subject so powerfully presented,
and the men who so skillfully
planned thiB great meeting have reason
to be thankful and hopeful of most
happy results. D.
Montreal: Last Sunday, by order of
the session, we had a special collection
for the Foreign Mission debt fund. The
pastor had previously sent out a circular
letter to every member, urging the
importance of everyone giving some
thing towards liquidating this debt, and
suggested that we should give not less
than fifty cents per member. We have
sixty-two members on the roll, and this
little band responded nobly to the appeal
which went forth from the pastor
and session. The amount realized was
$66.00. If every church in the Assembly
would do half as well the debt could
easily be wiped out.
Our chapel just outside the gate, has
been completed and we had services in
it, both Sunday scnooi and preaching,
last Sunday afternoon. It has cost
about $700.00, and of this amount we
still owe nearly one hundred dollars,
borrowed money. We have no seats,
except chairs borrowed from the hotels,
and no. furniture of any kind, and the
building is not ceiled and has only one
coat of paint on the outside. It is a
very neat and substantial building and
well adapted for our mission work.

be interesting to many: Montreal

the erection of this building to the
glory of his name. May he richly -reward
each individual donor.

Our representative to tbe Laymen's
Convention In Chattanooga returned full
of enthusiasm, and will make his report
next Sabbath.
The Sons and Daughters of the King
under the excellent leadership of Mrs.
H. P. Sitton, have just carpeted the entire
church building, and other improvements
have been made.
The ladies of the church have on
hand almost enough money to pur
chase a handsome new organ for the
church.
The pastor and his family were delightfully
remembered at Christmas by
these dear people.

Honors for Columbia: Dr. W. \1. McPheeters,
senior professor at Columbia
is now at Princeton, delivering the
Stone lectures for 1912. He will cover
some department of Old Testament
criticism, in which field he iB easily one
of the leading experts in our country.
These lectures when finished will be
published, and their issue in book form
will be awaited with keen interest by
his many friendB and by hosts of
Biblical students.
Dr. Henry Alexander White has just
sent out from the Neale Publishing Co.
a sumptuous volume with the title,
"Southern Presbyterian Leaders." It
presents the history of the Presbyterian
Church in our section of the country in
an exceedingly attractive form, because
of the biographical element which predominates
in the book. It is not venturing
too far to predict that the volume
will become a classic in its own particular
department, and it ought to have
a large circulation among our ministers,
officers and church families. No reader
can fail to be a more enthusiastic, informed
and consistent Presbyterian
after reading it.

refresh their acquaintance with any of
the departments of theological science.
