Rev. W. A. Freeman Winning New
Laurels

Rev. W. A. Freeman, pastor of
the First Baptist church of this
city, who is attending the B. Y. P.
o., at Waco seems to be winning
new laurels as an orator and pub
lie speaker.

prominent part, The Waco Daily
Telephone thus speaks of his ad-
dress: Rev. W. A. Freeman of
Texarkana was introduced and de-
livered the response on behalf of
b. Y. 2. U. of Texas, Mr. Free
man thought the assurances of
welcome from the gentlemen were
superauous, although they we're
appreciated as that measure of at
tention and respect due the con-
vention, but Waco's hospitality had
become a proverb, Ia every nook
and corner of this great state
wherever there is Baptist there
is an earnest, loyal friend of Waco,
The speaker pronounced a most
beautiful eulogy on the Baptists of
Waco, the people generally and the
local B. Y. P. U, especially. Mr..
Freeman's address, though extern
poraneous, was magnificent effort
and was listened to very attentive
ly. 1t was full Of fire and spirit.
