F REEFS CHURCH Of.
DEBT, THEN DIES
Dr.. J. W. Willard, Baptist Pas
tor, Fatally Stricken Few
Hours After Sermon.

DR.. Junius W. Willard, pastor Of the
Jackson Hill Baptist church and for
mer pastor OF the Ponce DeLeon Avenue
Baptist church. died suddenly at his
home on the Oakdale road last night
from an apoplectic stroke.
After preaching a short sermon to
the Jackson Hill congregation Sunday
morning and raising $4,000 to pay off
the church debt, Dr. Willard went to
his home. He complained of feeling
unwell. At o'clock he was stricken
With apoplexy and died at midnight
DR.. Milard's active church work in
Atlanta extended over a period of eight
years. He was called to the Ponce De-
Leon Baptist church when that insti-
tuition was organized and remained at
its head for five years.
Failing health caused him to. resign
his charge and he spent a year in
Europe and the Holy Land, returning
refreshed. After a year here, part of
which he spent as supply minister. he
assumed the pastorate of the Jackson
Mill church, which he held up to the
time of his death.
Dr. Millard's sermon Sunday will not
be forgotten by the members of the
Jackson Hill congregation. He spoke
to them briefly and in closing urged the
church to remove its debt and start the
New Year with a clean slate. He sud-
denly announced that he was going to
take up q collection to obtain 50. 400,
the amount of the debt. The congrega-
ton, under the spell of his sermon,
raised $4,000.
DR.. Willard was born in Goldsboro,
n. C,.44 years ago. He was graduated
from Wake Forest college and took his
doctors degree at the Southern Baptist
Theological seminary. His first impor-
tant charge was the Utaw Place Bap-
fist church in Baltimore. He left Bal
timore to come to Atlanta
He is survived by his wife, two chill
dren, j. w, Millard Jr., and Miss Laura
Willard; one brother, DR.. David 2.
Willard, and five sisters, none of whom
lives in Atlanta.
The funeral arrangements have not
been completed.

Up and Down
Peachtree
Leaves His Coin Where
Slot Machine Used To Be

7 was a chilly wintry evening and a
goodly throng was there"-iust add the
rest of the stanza of 1.-The Face on the
Bar Room Floor and you'll have the
scene fairly accurately, from the sand on
the floor to the white-aproned person be-
fore the mirror.
And, true to form, the stranger en-
tered. Here you'll have to desert the
tragic epic of paint and nose paint. The
stranger made no dramatic appeal for
grog nor was he greeted with hideous
boots by the merrymakers.
He merely meandered back to the place
where a few brief days ago persons
played slot machines and slot machines
played on them, The machines were
missing.
He turned to the bartender He said
no word. but his eyes asked his ques-
ton eloquently. The bartender shook his
head. Gone, gone" he muttered. The
councils put EN- out of business"
No word of complaint was uttered by
the stranger, but digging deep into his
pocket he produced a nickel. He placed
the coin where the machine should, or
rather, should not. have been, and once
