The work and duty of the shepard is beautifully illustrated in the life and acts of David as recorded in the first book of Sam: 17th ch. beginning at the 34, and including the 37 verse. In these verses are set forth the vigilance of David the Shepard's bow, and how he endangered his life for the life of his father's flock. His earnest care for the hook is apparent when we see how he went after the lion and the bear to rescue the lambs that had been captured by them, the most dangerous beast that roamed the forest, and brought them mangled and bleeding back to the fold. The post of danger was to David the post of duty, and however great the danger was he was found at his post, unfaltering and faithful. The night was never too dark, and the storms were never too severe for him to be found at his post. The shepherd, or pastor, can never court ease nor pleasure when the life or safety of his flock is in danger or peril. If he does, he proves himself unworthy of the trust that has been given him: A lesson for the pastors for all times are found in the conduct of Weekly Conservator. the Apostle Paul as recorded in the 21st. Ch. of the Acts of the Apostles. His duty called him to Jerusalem. And the prophet Agabus with others attempted to persuade him not to persuade him not to go, declaring that difficulties and dangerous persecutions awaited him there, but Paul was not the shepard to the affrighted. But said, I am ready not to be bound only, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. There was something that he valued higher than ease or earthly pleasures. It was his work of preaching, teaching and spreading the kingdom of God and his Christ. The pastor's work 1st. The pastor or minister is to preach the gospel to the people. This I conceive to be the most important work of the pastor. And to do this successfully and affectively he must possess these requisites. 1st, he must be called or God to preach. 2nd, he must apply himself to diligent study. The people come to hear religious information. They are the sheep that have been committed to his care, and he is to feed them on the word of God. Like the prophets of old he is to receive the message from God and give it to them. Hence, if he is to be a successful pastor, and skillful in the work he is engaged, he must study to show himself approved unto God a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Paul's advice to Timothy is a good one for the pastor of the present day.

And it often becomes a question of bread and butter with the minister. The people, many of them, want teachers that will tickle their intellect, but leave their sins untouched. And this ungodly state to be found in the membership in many churches puts the pastor in a straight betwixt two. His personal needs and his religious duty, shall I preach to them the word of God, and endanger my personal interest or shall I give them the message, line upon line and precept upon precept.

Mrs. Rachel Guyton's Demise. Farmington, Mo., Jan. 9. Mrs. Rachel Guyton, wife of Rev. J. E. Guyton, departed this life Tuesday morning at 8:40 o'clock after an illness of two week. She was born at High Hill, Mo. Oct. 5, 1864, her age being 42 yrs. 3 mon, and 3 days. At the age of eight years she became a Chris tian and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her stay of only a few months in this place has won for her many friends. Being conscious during her entire illness, her special request was that children be reared together and that they be brought up under the fear and admonition of God. As a Christian she was a consistent persevering one; as a mother a patient sacrificing one; and as a wife, a model one. The remains were taken to St. Louis We'nesday morning. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. E. Gillum at the Union Memorial Church yesterday afternoon. She was also a member of the order of Household of Ruth of St. Louis. This order had charge of the burial ceremony. She leaves a husband, four children, one sister and two brothers to mourn her loss.

At a late hour scribe and our friend David the hospitality of the Slaughter morning, we partook of a go fast, fresh from the oven of driving 15 miles through a Missouri at Miami and toonton Junction, where we left. Armed with Ambassadorial authority from the Grand Chancellor of Missouri Knights of Pythias, we departed from our home, Sedalia, Mo., at 3:10 p.m. on the 25th for Miami and Richmond via of Lexington, the Missouri river and a five miles walk. Arriving in Lexington at about 6 p.m we decided to remain over night. Going to the home of our friends Dr. and Mrs. J D Ball, we, without much solicitation, accepted their invitation to abide over night. In company with mine host and hostess we went to Zion, A M E church, where we visited a very beautiful Xmas cantata under the personal supervision of Mrs A A Gilbert, wife of the very much loved and useful pastor. To our delight the music, recitations, costumes and personalities were all of a classical order. Special mention may be made of the singing led by Miss Eva Hunter, who has a voice, that, if cultivated, would make her famous. E B Conway, as old Santa Claus, was on to his job. Aside from the entertaining features provided by the cantata we were highly pleased to meet many old friends in the social room in the basement. Prof B B Tuliy, a staunch friend and supporter of the Conservator was greeted. He assured us of his abiding faith in our enterprise and delivered the "goods" that make all editors smile blandly and perceptibly. After spending a night in soothing and slumberous sleep in the cozy cottage home of the eyer affable and obliging Dr J D Ball and partaking of a typical Xmas breakfast we hastened our way to the home of our foster sister, Mrs Anna Epps, where we secured our impedimenta and hied ourselves to the river's brink to be oared across, while contemplating the outlay of 50c for ferriage and the 5 miles walk for the junction. Landing safely and grudgingly handing over the "half," we gathered our strength and began our march to the tune of a mile in 8 minutes. We arrived in time to purchase our ticket and catch our breath before the train came to take us to Miami station, where we were unloaded. Looking at the two mile stretch to the river and a shiny half in our palm, we were not long in trying our pedal powers again. In due season, we arrived at the Old Missouri where, after a thirty minutes wait, we were crossed for a pittance. Without delay, we hastened to the home of T L Moore, our former host in days of yore and asked, "Is supper ready?" Mrs Ida Moore, from past experience, knew our gastronomic needs, hastened to set her house in order. Soon after supper many of our old friends and pupils began to call and extend the hand of welcome. We were pleased and happy. At eight, we entered for the first time the recently constructed Pythian Hall and performed the task allotted to our care by the Grand Chancellor. Elsewhere you will see the detailed account. All day Thursday we remained in because we were footsore and weary from our walks the previous day. In the evening, however, we visited a social gathering at the masonic hall, where we found brothers James Beason, Robert Williams and several others of the Old Guard still "squaring" themselves by the "plumb line." Friday we visited several homes and met some of our good friends, who were delighted to see us. Early Fiiday morning, we were grievously stricken by news of the death of sister Susan Stevenson, a loyal member of Arsania Court number 18. She was an honorable citizen, a devoted wife and a loving mother. In obedience to a desire on the part of the court, we remained over Saturday to assist in the funeral ceremonies. Rev. Hardin Smith, her pastor, of Independence, conducted the services in connection with the court. The brethren of Miami lodge number 48 acted as pallbearers. We read the burial rites for the court. In the evening, accompanied by Messrs Henry Carter, Francis Booker and David Phillips, we drove 15 miles in the country to the comfortable home of Obi Slaughter, where we were guests at a house party given by his two charming daughters, the Misses Mildred and Margie. A host of young people from the immediate vicinity were out as well as Mr. J. D. Henderson, a postal clerk of St. Louis. Everybody had a good time in song, games, plays, conversation and lunch. At a late hour all departed for their homes except ye scribe and our friend David. We very kindly consented to share the hospitality of the Slaughter home over night. On Saturday morning, we partook of a genuine health sustaining country breakfast, fresh from the oven of mother Slaughter's roseate stove. After driving 15 miles through a slowly falling rain, we again crossed the Missouri at Miami and took the Wabash at the station for Lezing, son Junction, where we left Rev. Hardin Smith.

SEDALIA, MISSOURI. ```markdown ``` we were forced to take a cab and drive 5 miles to Richmond, where we were welcomed into the home of A. L. Frede past because of records and seal of Richmond lodge number 20. His good wife spread a palatable supper, which we handled with loving care and inward felicitation. Our feet were directed to the Castle hall where we met fifty or more of the brethren preparing to march to the C. M. E. Church, where the installation ceremonies were performed. Following these ceremonies, a Pythian feast was spread for all who had the proper change. Our mind was diverted from eating, being attracted to old acquaintances and new introductions. Brother William Harris, an old pythian brother, took us to his home, where we were royally entertained over Sunday and Monday. This brother with two other colored men are operating a mine for themselves. In their mines they employ more than 30 men. Sunday morning we listened to a very sensible sermon by the Roy W. H. Burnett pastor of the A. M. E. Church. In the afternoon at 3 o'clock, we witnessed the anniversary services of Keystone Lodge number 73, at the C. M. E. Church. Fully 50 6f the masonic brethren were in line following the instructions of G. C. Kimbrough, their worshipful master. Prof. Jacobs read a paper, after which the Rev. W H Burnett preached the sermon which was fraught with masonic thought and idealism. We were pleased over much and felt that either the masons or pythians should begin at an early data to put a building on the lots they now own. Sunday evening we listened to our soul's delight to a discourse by the Rev H H Hankins, of the CME Church. He was forceful, earnest and thoughtful all the way through. We slept a good and restful sleep in brother Harrison's folding bed and after partaking of a good breakfast we took the train at 9 o'clock for Lexington Junction, where we were to decide as to whether we would fork up' four bits' for a ride to the river's brink or walk through the mud. By a conscientious system of reasoning, we arrived at the conclusion that it was best to ride. Into the cab we stepped and to the river we rode bewailing the handing over of the "halver." Having reached the Lexington shore, we proceeded by forced marches to the beautiful home of Mrs J B Epps, where we rested for a season. New Year's morning we visited the home of John Warren, where we were forced to write a receipt. Dr. Ball cautiously handed us a Smallwood dollar that came near squealing as we took it from his compact fingers. It chinkled and our heart fluttered. After all this luck we went to Zion Chapel where we witnessed a very impressive New Year's service conducted by the Rev. Leroy Woolrich of St. John's Chapel, M E Church and A A Gilbert of Zion, A M E Church. New resolutions, hopes and aspirations were aroused by this service. We must commend these brethren for their efforts, and they are successful, to bring the people together. At the Second Baptist Church in the evening we witnessed an enlightened musicale and drama given by the choir under the super vision of Oscar Mullins and Miss Sarah Graham. It pleased us much to note that only chaste and classical selections were put on program. No 'ragtime', was permitted. And this was an evidence of advancement that demands the respect of the cultured. Miss Crockett, in singing the leading part in 'Inflammatus,' did creditable vocal work and demonstrated her voice power wonderfully. Lexington believes in refined music and she justly deserves commendation for her wise choice. Wednesday we jollied about with our old friend James Wilson and in the evening with Green Valley Lodge and talked hall building to them. Oh! we liked to have forgotten that New Year's turkey at the Ball residence. Well, we met him or her and by the aid of the Hawkins, Bookers' Warrens, Johnsons and others we made it fly into Smithereens. All of us had good appetites and did not hesitate to do our duty. Rev. Woolrich camein time to witness the finale. Ours was a happy, busy and prosperous Holiday Outing. When we reached our den on the morning of the third, our "devils" had had a delightful fast of several hours. But by earnest solicitation, they decided to try our bacon and beans once again.
