Thomasville people are to bo con- gratu'ated on securing I)r. W. M. Harris, as a pastor. He Is one of the best informed men in the South ern ministry. It Is not often that a wide acquaintance with literature, art, philosophy and tneology. Is round combined with a genial per sonality, deep piety and good ad dress, as is to be found In Dr. Har ris. When the writer was pastor Houston, Texas, Dr. Harris was at Galveston, Texas. He and his es- teeaied family were among the survivors and were noted as heroic helpers when the storm of 1900 carried eight thousand people to a grave In the Gulf of Mexico. They brought their pet Jersey cow up Into the parsonage, which was seven feet above the street grade, and saved her life. When the storm and water had subsided, they gave the milk of this cow to orphaned ba bies, a-nd to the sick, and thereby saved a score of lives. In many other ways they served the suffer ing and won tho everlasting grati tude of Galveston. Thomasvllls people will find In them this same le-nde rcarc for the sick and needy, for Dr. Harris, In addition to pulpit power, has the true shepherd heart. . L. T.
