He writes easily and with a literary style whieh will place him ia tho front ranks of editors of the1 religious press lu tho South. Anderson is. Indeed, glad to welcome this good man und his family to the city, und ilso the Southern Christian Advocate. The following ls Editor Kirkland's salutatory: This is a new .and strauge business for un. We have known nothing but tho pastorate. Hut as long as wo are responsible for the Southern Christ ian Adv?calo, we shall try to make lt a readable and helpful paper. Tho twentieth century is one In which we have seen the facilities for collecting and publishing the world's nt a s made perfect. And to know every day what bas been done in ovory other par. of tho world seems necessary to UK piospot'lty. of any one part. Among alt these agencies, the newspaper ?..till holds one of tho uhief places. The story ls told that when Benja min Franklin first thought of estsb haning tho Saturday Evening Peu, be ' consulted his mother abou' the matter and she advised against it. say ing, "There are two newspapers In the United States airead?' and that ought to be enough." We wonder what She would say about pich matters to day, were she living. A paper dealer Informs UH th?* three- hundred car loads of ps pe?arv .consumed dally' In our country in tba making of news papers. This i ?terna Incredible. But -. e do Liow. that every commer cial enterprise, every political party, and every religious organisation to fdfty knows full ' well the power that resides in printer's inU. The church newspaper has become I an indispensable thing. We- can never j agaiu do without it- Ita .power ls too I great ever to h? discarded lu religious work. We believe Ute future will see rt brought to a very high Rtate of portee-j ?op. The Advocate la fin?t of all a news ?m ,Uvrt,w?A(dns|gnadi.W ego by .-seeing meo to disseminate the news ot the hMthOdttt Church here in our beloved" rilraetto.State end of Methodism in general,. * The Methodist Church-has become) a very great organization In tho world. We are working out a great denomina tional life, have great activities, ' a! !treat spirit, mission.'purpose and end a view.

We have built up at a stupendous cost our varied enterprises. We have j put time and money and Jives into I them. These ara maintained by us for tho expressed int?-nt nnd mirpose of j stamping our interpretation of the j religion (aught by Curlst on the life of this world In whica we live, both here in this new nation and in other muda And we know, all of us, that the success of these-undertakings de pends largely on the ideal condition ot I all of us knowing aa the same tlme| what Uie mind of Israel ls. But how can we all. know as wo j should unless we have some adequate means of Intercommunication? It seems more Imperative now than ever that full Information concerning our Church work bo kept steadily before Ute minds of all the-people who ure called Methodists. It ls not sufficient that our bishops; - presiding elders,' pastors, and lay leaders, know, but oar first reserve lino, our'men, our' second reserve Une, our women, and even our third reserve line, our youth, must also know... in order that they may appreciate the sublime purpose of our Church and so be willing to co operate with us. Adequate and accu rate knowledge ot tho reason for our denominational existence and of the ends that wo have in view, that i?, tn stsnding for tho'New Testament type ot rt l.lgton, as we know lt, cannot but develop j hearty nnd . enthusiastic Christian service aftfong us. ' ; The Advocate la also av family paper, j It goes aa a weekly Visitor Into* thous ands of homes. It moat, therefore, car ry Aidiverlfcy of information. Its .pages should be? enriched wHh. things. tbst i touch in a helpful way oar many sided life. ' A special department will ba main tained fbr Our-Boys and Qlrls. The children of Ulis day are omnivorous readers. The Advocate will try to give them n good page. Wo trust they may ! enjoy R tad -we hopo > tn* cultivate, their friendship thereby. . Whoever gains, the^?wT,icjf achlht-or youth gad leads him to tove the Church does both a lasting service. One ot our best ministers learned Ute alphabet, when a child.: li thean columns and he says he owes au equal debt ot gratitude to the Advocate and to Um late Br. James H. Carlisle, under whom he was educated.

Spend on their ydpcatlon. . Tho mala body ci The Adress?? <*M Of course, bo prepared for mature mea 'comp?tent to moke our columns inter outing. We believe that with our con tributions, present and prospective, wo Hhall bo ablo to set our adult read era au appetlzinK bill of fare. Some of our helpers haTC already placed us under obligat Iou for their work on this Initial number and in fact there ar?? sonic good things th ut had to be kept over for the next or else increase the number of our pares, which we could uot do. '.mung Christian Advocate readers 1?re is a big. big number of tho dear < vid folk, who aro Mattered here and ! there over South Car??lino. We huve Just used one word which we confess we do not like. And we ure trying to Jrop it out of our vocabulary. The jody doe? indeed decay und grow old, but somehow God ha? u way by which he keeps the heart in perpetual youth. Many of these are uow practically < shut in al their Howes, seldom do I they get to thc public workshop, they j hear tow sermon? or prayers, or hymns. The little grand children gath er around their big chairs at the close of tile day. These sometimes have day dreams, in which by faith tiley soe thc City that hath foundations whose architect and builder is God und they walt for the inheritance which Is in corruptible, undefiled, mid that fadetb not away. Those all love to read The Advocute perhaps UH none others do and it is our desire to' bring them from week to week many things good und beauti ful to read. . Hut lastly. UH the good minister rays, the Advoc?te is a denomination al paper, a Methodist paper. We tove li tin Churches that truly exalt Jesus Christ as Klug of -?>gs und Lord of lords, but we love our owu the best. In our boyhood home there never was soy uttempt made to lind which church was eutitled to second place, whether Lutheran, or Baptist, or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, or what Church. Wo loved them all and were glad wo did not have to sit in Judgment us to that matter, but with us thero was never any doubt that the Methodist Church was first in our af fection und veneration, lt could hard ly have been otherwise with us, how ever, as ull of our people on both sides were Methodist clear back to Adam. The Advocate thus being a Methodist paper, we shall use lt to Bet | forth the faith that we so much cher ish. . Dut whatever else it may be or may not be. we. want, .lt .to be.such that lt shall merit the Divine approval and with this end in view, we shall no I our part, as- under the Great Task Master's Eye.

"Though the French aviators have tho highest respect for our anti-air craft pieces, Uley hare recently an noyed us more Ulan wo though nc ceeeery. We decided to organise n sort of aerial outpost service u.e pur pose of which lt waa to inform us of the coming of the French 'steel-birds.' "One day we were told that u B squadron ot five machines was com ing from the- direction of A-(poa slbly Arras. There waa a rush for lour machines, soon the motors snar led, then hun med. and within one half minute o. one another the craft got under wa.'. -Vv'Uh the Intention of leaching the enemy a lesson wc started tor alti tude.

"Reaching the vicinity bf A--wc noticed that the French flyers. had 'begun to cruise about. Doublo and single-deckers here and there study ing the ground underneath. "We were keeping In a single tito and for this reason the French must have formed an erroneous conclusion aa to our strength. ' At any rate they soon Baw ns, and with a few minutes manoeuvred for an atack oq the1 first ot our machines, a Taube. '" "But Its pilot . made a graceful curve downward, then ahot upward again, keeping up the while a fire which must have pat the propeller of one of Ute French macunes out of commis ion. Ot a sudden the pro pellor of one of the French machines the machine tn question took a head long dive downward. but righted again as lt neared tho ground. "Meanwhile we had deployed in hattie formation, an? now began a battle of one machine against the other. The French made evory effort to bombard us from above, nigh or and higher soared Ute opposing ma chines, trying for ever to pass over Ute other, but succeeding In little more than keeping, more or lesa on the same level. "The wind being rather high and treacherous, sailing waa none too easy. The machines pitched abd swerved, bucked, violently as they hit a Tlnd-wave, and fell from under us 'J? htoy struck an air-bole. To the humming and spattering ut the mot. ora waa added the noise of firearms. Our motor made such a racket that we could hear the rifles and machine gara ot our men and . those of thc enemly only aa we passed them close ly. "On my left one of our machines waa keeping up a heavy are upon t??x of the French craft, the rattle ot thc machine-gun keeping time with thc motor exhaust.
