GIRL THOUGHT “TEDDY” WAS AN HONOR TITLE fix-PresIdent Shocked by a New Arrival lrom Sweden. New York, Sep, 3.—A Denver ■dispatch to the World says: While Col, Roosevelt was in Cheyenne he stopped at the Inter-Ocean hotel. His meals were served to him in his rooms, and as servitor he had a Swedish girl who had been in this country but a short time. Whenever he asked the girl a question she answered “No, Teddy” or “Yes, Teddy,” to the amaze ment of the colonel. Her manner was so ingenuous, however, that he decided that she was innocent of intentional disre spect. Finally he made inquiries and thetrystery was solved. The girl thought that “Teddy,” -which she had heard so frequently, was “some sort of title, such as king. ’ ’ He laughed heartily when he heard the explanation. The Union Meetings at Morven Church* The good accomplished by what is known among Baptist churches as union meetings has again been demonstrated by the good done at the union meeting held with tho Morven Baptist church, July 29-31. The subjects, “Final Preservation,” '“Baptism,” “The Lord : s Supper” “Election,” and the “Obligation •of the churches to know and teach the Scriptures,” were ably handled. Among others who were present and contributed to the edification of the saints were: Dr. Robert II. Harris, the pastor at Cairo, Ga.; Dr. Joe A. Wynne, the pastor at Quitman, Dr. J. G. McCall, of Quitman; Rev. J. D. Evans, now of Atlanta; Rev. W, Clark, of near Norman Park. The attendance was large on Saturday and Sunday. The Morven church and paster and messengers greally. appreciated the presence of Dr. Robert H. Har ds and the power and plainness with which he spoke upon the doc trines Of the church, as Baptists hold it. Here such teaching and instruction were greatly needed, ard his addresses delivered in such an attractive, easily comprehended and convincing (way will be long re membered and do lasting good. Such a church as his at Cairo, and they are truly noble brethren, should recognize first that they have a “man sent from God,” next that it is “a grace given them” to sup port such a pastor, who, while he chiefly “feeds his own flock” should be allowed occasionally to minister to others also.—Christian Index.
