The Rev. X. W. Young, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, will take a vacation of two months. He will spend it in Louisville, in Asheville, North Carolina; in Knoxville, Tenn., returning again by the way he has come, to his home city.

On June 30, Mr. and Mr. Young start for Louisville, where they will find many pleasant recollections of a former pastorate. They remain there but two or three days, going on to Ashville, where they will spend all of July. During this time, Mr. Young will supply the pulpit of the First Baptist church, for his old friend and' schoolmate, Dr. W. M. Vines. .Mr. Vines is to be congratulated upon such security.

Two or three miles from Ashville is "Biltmore," George Vanderbilt's estate, with its palace worth three million of dollars and its grounds worth three million more. Upon these Mr. Young will feast his earthly vision and anticipate "that house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

Where botanists love to study and the tourist to gaze, he will wander at will, over 50,000 acres of this world's loveliness, khere trees and shrubbery are gathered from all parts of the world and the forestry gardens are the greatest in the United States.

On August 1 Mr. and Mrs. Young continue their trip to Knoxville. Here they will spend the month and Mr. Young will occupy the pulpit for Dr. M. W. Egerton. Tennessee is Mr. Young's native state and the old love for it is strong within him. Mr. Mr. Young will be in his element, for the mountains and the hills abound in Baptists. He will here attend many fine lectures given in the State Normal school with its hundreds and hundreds of students, widely known by its educational board backed by the benevolent Rockefeller.

The last of August, Mr. and Mrs. Young turn toward the home stretch. On the first of September they will be again in Ann Arbor, and as Mr. Young puts it "with sleeves rolled up, buckle down to work."

Their friends wish them all kinds of pleasure and God speed.

During Mr. Young's absence, Rev. A. A. Wilkinson will preach the first three Sundays in July and Rev. C. H. Irving, of Detroit, will occupy the pulpit the last Sunday.
