complex. Take the case OF the pltltul hand
full of sailors who survived the disaster that
befel the Titanic. When these sailors
reached the port of New York they were a
wretched lot despairing of everything, pre-
pared to $50 on the loose and drink their
woes into oblivion. Hunter met them. One
of their number explained to him their plight
and state of mind We've got no money;
there's nothing for us to do, that we can see,
in the future; we're without clothes or food
or jobs. What is there left but liquor?'
Hunter took these men in and told them
that people were coming to their assistance;
although he didn't know positively at the
time where the help, if any, was to come
from, and bluffed the sailors into leading a
decent life where otherwise they would have
resorted to the reddisf-brown nepenthes that
in its time has landed tens of thousands of
sailors in jail, and worse. And in token of
this act on Hunters part these grateful men
of the sea, on their return to England after
assistance came to them, assistance for
which Hunter worked tooth and nail, sent
him the following words engrosscd on parch-
ment:

fated ship Titanic, send to you our heart

A ND Hunter says that this little piece of
= paper alone makes him feel prouder of
the campaign he has mapped out for his LIES
work than anything he has yet accomplished.
Hunters record shows that he has turned
thousands upon thousands of sailors straight
by not preaching to them. "The greatest
pulpit in the world" he argues, as per
sonality that wears a smile, appreciates that
it is the nature of every human being to like
good time and realizes that the social
side of man must be won over before his
religious side or at least with it. All the
preaching in the Republic wouldn't avail to
