 On October 2nd, as the autumn sum- shine cast fantastic shadows through the swaying vines, a goodly number of the members of the Dixie Chapter. U. D.

This condition of affairs cer- tainly can not be known to the minis ters of the State; each of these would gladly give at least one public service a year to those helpless old men. if the Alabama ministers realized this fact
