Some controversy has been aroused among members of the Presbyterian Church, North, over certain phrases used to endorse the bold actions of Rev. Dr. Parkhurst, who has been very conspicuous in legislative reform for New York City. Friends of the scheme to reunite the two branches of the church have watched fearfully the result. Rev. John II. Edwards, in a letter to the New York Evangelist, has this to say:

"I have lived and traveled in the South, and know the chivalrous devotion to high moral principle, and the ardent admiration for a courageous leader in a grand cause, which mark its true sons. I know the contempt that highminded Southerners and woman-those to the manor born and not imported representatives-feel for politicians in Church or State, who are blind to the moral qualities that are always present in the heroic character.

"Knowing the enthusiastic admiration with which the true Southerner regards a noble deed nobly done, I cannot believe that the nonpolitical resolutions of the Presbytery, expressing its gratitude to Almighty God for what has been done by a brave pastor in the city of New York, will hinder in the least the reunion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church."

"PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN.'

Not "as the crow flies," but as the sun flies, so swings the palace recordbreaker, "Sunset Limited," along the Southern Everglade and plane to hide, at its journey's end, like the "God of Day." behind the mountains of the glowing West. From the Mississippi Delta to the Golden Gate every mile of the way is simply one more beautiful picture to delight the eye of the traveler in the ever-changeful scenic panorama of verdant prairie, waving forest, towering peak and silver stream Every luxury that man's ingenuity can invent and money can buy the managers of the great Southern Pacific Sunset Route have contributed to this brightest luminary of the railway world; and there is not a single comfort that the most exacting would require or could find in their own modern homes that is not furnished ready to the hand of every passenger over this semi-tropical line. The invalid seeking health under the balmy breath of the Pacific can find, even in midwinter, by the Sunset Route, all the delight of a perfect journey in perpetual sunshine; and the train of all trains over this or any road is the magnificent solid vestibuled "Sunset Limited," leaving New Orleans at 8 a.m. every Thursday on and after November 1, for Los Angeles and San Francisco, and covering the distance between gulf and ocean in only sixty hours. Returning leaves San Francisco every Thursday at 10:30 a m. Be sure your tickets read "Sunset Route," either going or returning to the coast. For full particulars, address S. F. B.

mendation of the leading newspapers in sections where he has given entertainments. The New York World reports his "superb entertainments."

Bishop Vincent, whose eminent career in connection with Chatauqua, especially, is well known in the South, testifies to the excellence of his lectures: "His service is not that of a stereopticon manipulator, nor of an exhibitor of brilliant pictures. He lectures, and then illustrates his lectures. The lecture without the pictures would be of a superior qual ity, and I cannot state too strongly the brilliancy of his successes at Chatauqua. He has always done well before. This time he did better than ever-if that were possible." J. S.

One of the best lectures in Mr. Ragan's series is Washington, and if he should ever come South he is commended to give that one in particular.

H. McInnis, Lakeland, Fla.: "Allow me to say something about that grand snowball battle we had at Dalton, Ga. In the morning early there was light skirmishing between our Brigade (Findley's) and Tyler's Brigade across the road. We soon saw that Tyler's men were going to charge us, so we went to work and soon had breastworks built out of snow, and in a short while the warning was given: 'Look out, boys, they are coming!' Then that blood-chilling, on one side, and soul-cheering rebel yell was raised, and such a scene was hardly ever witnessed before. Tyler's men had the best of it, and took possession of our quarters. Then we concentrated both brigades and charged and captured Gen. Walker's Brigade over on another hill, and so on all day. Long live the Veteran!"
