'lonel C. O. Sherrill, who is also
. utive officer of the monument and
lk commssion in Washington, to this
iner to give the official and personal
dorsemtnt of the president to the
pvenicnt.
President Harding' received a delega
>n from the Stone Mountain Memorl
assodation, headed by Hollins NT.
andolph, of Atlanta, the chairman,
i-ing Ins recent visit to Augusta—
is being the only delegation of this
ture to he heard by the president,
that time, he expressed his deepest
terest in the memorial, and stated
at while it would be impossible, ho¬
use of previous committments, to
sit the city for the dinner, he would
adly write a letter expressing his en
rsement.
This letter was drafted on Saturday,
ter further consultation with Mr.
andolph and with Gutzon Borglum,
e sculptor, who met the president at
at time by appointment. While in
ashington, Mr. Randolph called upon
e vice president, who expressed his

STONEWALL JACKSON
AND PERSEVERANCE
Stonewall Jackson joined the Pres
byterian church at the age of twenty.
,i x .
At the age of thirty-three he be¬
come engaged to the daughter of the
first president of Davidson college.
His bride-to-be told hint she would
have no husband who did not know
the Westminister Shorter catechism.
He memorized the catechism and re
cited it to his wife at the age of thirtj -
five.
Later he was elected a deacon in tae
j Presbyterian Statedly he church in Lexington.
called upon his pastor
J for instruction and advice as to his du
J practice ties and became how to perform them and by
a most efficient deacon.
Among other things his pastor told
him that an officer in the Presbyterian
church ought to lead in public prayer.
Mr. Jackson signified his willingness
to do this.
His pastor called upon him. He re¬
sponded with such great difficulty and
distress as to cause embarrassment. ’
Again his pastor called upon him.
His effort was almost a humiliating
failure—then his pastor told him !e
would excuse him front further effort
No, said Mr. Jackson, you told me i
ought and I will.
By perseverance he become a great
power at the Throne of Grace.
So powerful indeed he become in pe¬
tition that some one has said “That in
order to allow the Northern Army '
.succeed the Lord had to take Stonewall
Jackson across the River of Rest in th •
shade of the trees.”
Rise up, oh men of God,
The Church for you doth wait.
Her strength unequal to her task
Rise up, and make her great.
Yours in His work,
LEMUEL D. KING.
