Birmingham: Rev. J. C. Shlve,
North Carolina, has declined the c

terians are much interested In the c
Just extended, very unexpectedly.

pastor of the Second church. 1
?.Second Church: The Rev. Urban D.
Mooney, pastor ot tae Second churcu
lor tne past twelve years, has received
a unanimous call from the Napoleon
Avenue church. New Orleans, anil will
visit the heid beiore loug. Dr. .Ylooney
is a very popular pastor of the city,
and has been nere in point of service 1
longer tnan any one in the city except
Dr. J. A. Bryan. The Second church
will not tamely see him go, but will
bring all pressure to keep him here.
?rtaudiey Aiciuonal: The cougrega
tion of the ilaumey memorial cuuicu
decided not to move from its present
bite, though offered a haudsome price
lor their property. Toe same night the
action was taken, the church caught
lire and suffered a slight damage,
though covered <by insurance. The
Class of the Stranger of this church is
solving the problem of reaching the
masses by renting a theatre building in
the heart of the city, and holding religious
services there every afternoon,
it is estimated that the audience will
average between 150 and 250. Already
many have been converted, and hundreds
promised to lead a new life. On
last Sabbath a mother united with the
church and bad ber little babe baptized.
Jt was a delightful service.
?Westminster: The pastor. Rev. J.
Frank Turner, is entering upon a very
encouraging year in his work among
this people. They are hoping to build
their new church soon, and are planning
to this end. The New Year's communion
was the most largely attended
of any in the history of the church.
First Chuck, Tuscaloosa: The most
eiilcient organist and choir directress,
Miss Harris, of the First church, Tuscaloosa,
Ala., some months ago organized
a junior choir of some thirty voices.
On the Christmas Sabbath evening they
l lead In a most beautiful and inspiring
t musical program. The Sabbath school
1 of this church is now the largest by
far in the history of the church. The
1 congregations also frequently over-taj
the seating capacity. New names an
i added to the church roll almost ever:
Sabbath. The congegation gladly look!

Arkansas Home Missions: The y<
1912 was one of advance in the n
of jority of our Home Mission fields a
all we hope that there will be no ret
ine grade movement this year. Our net
by- and destitutions continue great and
:all quire our united and concentrated

N OF THE SOUTH
iq the State have no church organize- j
lion of any kind, while in others the
ground is held by Mormons or other i
demoralizing sects. Only 26 per cent
of the population of Arkansas is in
the Protestant churches. The unchurched
respond to our efforts in an
encouraging manner. While we are
engaged in world-wide movements and
must continue them, our own dear State
.must not he neglected. An Arkansas
enlld is as valuable as one in the rice
helds of China or the Bugar fields of
Cuba.
The Synodica! Home .Mission work
is conducted under two plans?the Assembly
Every Member plan and the
Synodical Canvassing plan. The Presbyteries
of Arkansas and Washburn
operate mainly under the Assembly
plan, and Ouachita and Pine Bluff untut*
Svnodical. When a church
adopts the Assembly plan they are
requested to notify me by January 20
or 22, and the canvasser will not visit
them. Such churches are expected to
raise the amount apportioned them and
forward to me in April and October.
See '.Minutes of Synod, 1912, p. 275.
ltev. C. U. .Maury will canvass the
Presbyteries of Pine Bluff and Ouachita?Fine
Bluff Presbytery during the
OiOniu 01 reuruary, uuu uuatuiui ui
March. We have obtained the best
results from Arkansas Home MisBiens
from the Synodlcal Canvass and all
pastors and sessions are requested to
make their plans to meet the appointments
of Mr. 'Maury, as he must follow
train schedules and it saves time and
expenses for him to make the appointments
in geographical order as much
as possible. Our people give cheerfully
und liberally when the opportunities of
the Held are shown them and the canvasser
for Synod can do this to best
advantage, as he has the special facts
in hand.

Yaldosta: The South Georgia State
Normal College, a branch of the State
University, opened at Valdosta, January
2nd.
The occasion was made notable by addresses
from the Governor-elect, the
State Superintendent of Education, the
College President and otlier leading educators.
As this Is tlie only State College in
South Georgia it is expected that it wiil
he largely attended and well maintained.
Tlie campus is within the city limits,
a beautiful site of 60 acres on a hillside
covered with great pines. One
handsome $55,000 building has been
erected. The architect's plan calls for
eight such buildings, to be built as
needed.
As church workers, we feel encouraged.
All of the college faculty are
Christians. President Powell and Mrs.
Powell have united with the Presbyterian
church. They plan to make the
miIIaia nnt nnlv a seat of culture, hut
also of Christian character building.
Our church is expecting Dr. Wm.

January 19lh for a ten days' meeting,
