MRS. MARGARET HOUSTON
WALKER.
Mrs. Margaret Houston Walker, the
wife of Dr. George S. Walker, died at
their home in Staunton, Va., April 28th,
1912, in the seventy-third year of her
age. Dr. and Mrs. Walker, at the time
of her death, lacked hut a few weeks of
completing fifty-two years of married
life, and a rarely beautiful married life
it was. The perfect harmony of their
natures, their tender love for one another,
and their never failing thoughtful
attentions to each other were as
fresh and genuine at the end as they
were at the beginning.
Early in life Mrs. Walker made a profession
of faith and joined the Presbyterian
church in Harrisonburg, Va., but
for mhny years her home had been in
Staunton and her membership in the
First church of that city.
Her lovely Christian character showed
itself in every way. She was gracious

.... .. UUuucvicu iu uci luaaiicr, social
and hospitable In temperament, sympathetic,
charitable and self-forgetful
in disposition, deep and true in friendship,
judicious in counsel, and believing,
prayerful, exemplary in religion. In all
the relations of life this Christian character
expressed itself, as wife and mother
and friend, in the social circle and
as a member of the church.
In later life as afflictions gathered
about her, and her own health was
critical and for years her life hung by a
thread, the strength and poise of her
faith were remarkable. With absolute
freedom from all excitement or alarm
she talked of her departure and waited
for it.
"Her children arise up and call her
blessed: her husband also and he praiseth
her."

WORK OH.
The story is told of a woman who had
a rare rosebush. She watched and
worked over it for weeks, but saw no
results of her lahor. One day she found
a crevice in the wall near the bush,
and running through the crevice was a
tinr shoot of her rosebush. She went
to the other side of the wall, and there
she found her roses blooming in all
their splendid beauty. Some of us have
to work on, year after year, seeing no
results of our labor. To such comes
this message: ,rWbrk on. Do not he
discouraged. Your work is blooming on
the other side of the wall." There is
no such thing as wasted time or labor
if we are serving Christ.?Great

It may increase its burdens. The best
antidote for drudgery is the spirit of
joy. Be happy in your work and your
tasks will seem light, heavy though they
may be.

A JN OF TRI SOOTH
PRESBYTERIAN EDUCATION IN
TEXAS.
Since the meeting of the General Assembly
In Bristol there have come to me
so many Inquiries with reference to the
plan of carrying on this department of
our work In Texas that it has occurred
to roe that it would be well to give some
publicity to the scheme. In brief, the
plan simply furnishes a clearing hour
for the various institutions now under
the control eilJher of the Synod o'
Texas or of any one of the Presbyteries
of the Synod. Following the plan of the
Honorol A oaamVlit ? ,C.?
wuviai AODCUIUIJ, LUC O J UUU IlrtO tljl"
pointed an Executive Committee of
Schools and Colleges, composed of nine
men, three of whom are elected by the
Synod at each meeting. The Committee,
therefore, is made up of three
groups, with three members in each
group, each group serving for a period
of three years. The Committee elects Its
own chairman, and such other officers
as are necessary for carrying on the
work. The committee has also taken
out a charter from the State, authorizing
it to collect and invest and disburse
money for the causes for which the Committee
was formed. At present the
committee is constituted as follows:
Messrs. J. L. Thompson and W. A. Vinson,
of Houston; Messrs. H. H. Adams
and R. S. Baker, of Dallas; Mr. R. D.
Gage, of Fort Worth; Mr. J. W. Butler,
of Clifton; Mr. Yale Hicks, of San Antonio;
Mr. Fred. S. Robbins, of Bay
City, and Rev. R. E. Vinson, of Austin.
These members are elected without reference
to the fact that they may or may
not be Berving on any one of the Board
of Trustees, but solely from the standpoint
of securing an effective administration
of the work which is committed
into their hands.
It is the duty of this committee to
take oversight of all the educational
work within the houndB of the Synods,
over which the church has any control,
and particularly with reference to the
financial needs of the institutions. In
this regard, the committee has no oversight
of the invested funds of any institution,
nor any duty with reference
to t)he expenditure of the income of such
funds, these matters being left, as heretofore,
entirely in the hands of the several
boards. But in the case that any
board finds itBelf unable to meet itbudget
of expense, either in the way of
running expenses, paying off obligations,
or providing new equipment of endowment,
these matters must be referred
to the Executive Committee, and
when allowed, the effort is made by the
committee to raise the necessary funds
with "which to meet the needs. Each institution
makes a detailed financial report
to the committee annually, through
Ms president, -who has the Tight to deliberate
with the committee, without a
vote, or through other accredited representatives.
The aim of the committeR
is to hrlng all of the institutions of the
church together for conference over the
whole work, at least once each year,
thereby promoting closer co-operation
and more forbearance with one another
and greater harmony In carrying out
the common purposes of the institutions.
When one institution is found in greater
need than others, the force of the
commlteee can, with the full consent ?',
the other institutions, be directed
toward that school. The plan also prevents
the cross-flre of financial agents,
gives to the people of the state a common
cause In their educational work,
eliminates expense, and in many other
ways works to the advantage of the
cause as a whole.
Under the purview of thq Committee
at the present time are the following
