A college man with university train

u number of yeera, in some of the most
important churges of tho State, he
brings to thin editorial work a train
ed mind and* u consecrated heart for
tho work. 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. Tho Methodist Church will
play a part In the world'? religious
work both today, and tomorrow, end
In the remote future.
, in order th*t this life inky express
Itself and fxnn>uS?!r*t? i'.?elf. we need,' |
In addition to our other no less valu
able Instrumenta, our own newspaper.
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

should be? enriched wHh. things. tbst i

our desire to' bring them from week

. 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

never was soy uttempt made to lind

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

Methodist paper, we shall use lt to Bet |

, i.
HANNOVER. Germany. Jan. 7.
(Correspondence of The Associated
Press.)-One of the promising Utera,
tours of Germany, who is now an
army aviator, sends home somo vivtd
I notes of life on the aerial fronts.
He writ OB: -
"The wester has been abonmlna
ble, one series of changes from rain
to snow, and fogs and high wind?
; which keep some ot UR almost con
tlnually seasick. Notwithstanding, wo
keep up our flying Industriously.
"A few'days ago I had an encoun
ter with French aeroplanlsts which
of the many I had is tbe one which I
am least likely to forget. Two of
Ute French machines were "shot*
down, and a third wc forced to land.
"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. Everybody-was armed to Uv
tooth, and io addition to our bombs
we carried rapid fire guns on sever
al ot the machines.
"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. Ot a sudon u man
fell from the French'plane,: ?bootine

results. The gas plant exploded and
considerable damage was done to the
