Rev. Randolph Clark of Steph-
enviile called on the Vanguard
Monday. He preached the com-
mencement sermon last Sunday
at the High School building.
The deafness of the editor in-
duced him, with regret to leave
the room he might occupy for
someone else, for when Randolph
Claris speaks he always has a
crowded audience. He has been
on# ef the foremost educators in
the state, and is today one of
the foremost educators in the

foremost men in moral and reli-

order after that
There was a preacher in Ark-
ansas who being disturbed by
some gigglers on the beck seat
warned them that unless they
dried up and behaved they were
as good for hell as a dime for a
ginger cake. Two of the boys
tried to whip him for it because
they were accomponied by their
sweethearts, and it was the girls
that giggled: but the preacher
whipped both of the boys and
scared the girls nearly to death.
-Dallas News.
A preacher in StephenviUe be-
in bothered by some thoughtless
youngters in the rear of the
church, suddenly stopped talking
until he gained their attention*,
then digressed far enough to
say: “I never reprove young
ladies or gentlemen any more for
misconduct in a meeting house.
Some years ago in Mississippi I
spoke harshly to a young man
for whispering and laughing in
the service until he had greatly
disturbed me. After the ser-
vice a goood woman came to me
weeping and told me my reproof
had almost broken her heart.
She informed me the young man
mind. Since then I think of
weak mmded folks every time
there is misconduct in my meet-
ngs and put up with it as best I
may." During the ten days
meeting which ensued there was
not the slightest broach of good
behavior. 1
