a foretaste of the mighty WORK which
this man of God was destined to do.

on DR.. Miller with wonder and admit
ration and it was not long before he
had gained warm place in their
hearts and now he counts his friends
by the score.
The time has come when ability
alone will count. The Angio-SaxoA

brought himself to the worlds lead

strong determination, and the same
forces that brought him to mis- posi-

DR.. Miller already occupies this po-
sition as so many of his colleagues
have voluntarily informed us. That
his service is in demand has also
been fully demonstrated by letters
and other inducements to serve in
different fields. "He who serves best
serves we'll" Now let's get an idea
of what this minister has done. AS

Friends, when a man is disheart-

it is then that he turns to his mother,

encouragement. No true, devoted

said positions There is not a man
who dares deny that woman is intel
lectually his equal and morally his
superior Then if woman be mans
superior morally, why not let her go
into politics, clean up and elevate the
low basis upon which it stands?
There is not a man in this city who
does not know how corrupt politics is
and that is why they object to their
wives, daughters and sisters voting.
Why should the politics of this coun-

to advance this thought for one rea-

in conclusion: | am very grateful to
this Congress and especially to my
friend, Prof Hudson, for letting me
expose myself rather than himself.
am very thankful for the help coming

remember that if you want to teach
Gods Word, you must first be trained
