Purvis, Miss, July 22.-For two
hours and twenty minutes Governor
Earl Brewer held the rapt attention of
one of the largest audiences that has
assembled in Puryis in many months
and presented to the people here his
account of what had been accom-
plished for the people through his eff
forts to fulfill what he enumerated as
his prediction pledges made four and
eight years ago.
A largely signed petition had some
time ago been sent from here to Gov.
ernor Brewer asking him to come to
Purvis and address the people upon
lines of his own choosing and the ad-
dress of the Governor last night was
in response to that request. After
speaking at Prentiss, in Jefferson Da-
Wis county at noon Wednesday, the
Governor came here in an automobile,
reaching here at five o'clock when he
was received and entertained by a
local committee until the hour for
speaking at eight O'Clock last night.
Efforts had been made by some
overly jealous partisans of Lieuten-
ant Governor Bilbo to discourage
the attendance of many from the
out-of-town sections and to complete
ly stampede all the local beat and
county candidates by threatening to
vote against any candidate who at
tended the Brewer speaking, but this
did not prevent the assembling of
that some declare, was the largest
audience ever assembled in Purvis to
hear a political speech, who gave the
governor a most attentive hearing
throughout.
At the conclusion of Governor Brew
er's speech he asked that all present
who believed that the present state
administration had stood four square
to the world in its opposition to crook
edness, dishonesty and graft in high
and low places and who would vote
against and work in every possible

usual evangelistic preaching last night
at the evening exercises of the Bap-

tian Education"
While his talk was mainly along
the line of the education of the BAD
lists, it was equally applicable to the
other denominations because the same
danger as presented by him confronts
every denomination in the land He
did not belittle the good that is being
done and the efforts that are being
made to educate the masses by the
state schools, but he maintained that
any denomination that hoped to pro-
gress must have her schools and her
people must patronize them.
Il have been vitally connected with
Christian education for over nineteen
years." he said, five in Baylor Uni
yersity, seven as pastor in a college
town, and seven at the Seminary. We
have fifteen Baptist schools in Texas
and | do not doubt in the least that the
strength of the Baptists is largely due
to these schools. Not only ministers
are educated, but men and women are
educated to go out and become strong
factors in the upbuilding of the de-
nomination. There are 100000 white
and 100000 colored Baptits in the
state and this great number is due to
education and evangelization.
81 love our public schools. There
ought to be no conflict between them
and our Baptist schools. But denom-
national school gives the child and
man something that a state school can
never give Education of the mind is
not the main thing. Education by it
self is nothing We turn many grad
uates out of our state schools every
year but the denominations largely
lose their efforts and their influence
in church life because they have not
been taught along these lines. There
is something in the state schools that
is not conducive to the highest devel-
opment of UNCONVENTIONAL activity

to be narrow in that respect if we get
anywhere in church development.
Every denomination realizes this and
efforts are being put forth by them to
meet the requirement. Baptists must
meet hem and bring in her boys and
girls to denominational tutelage if
they hope to maintain their present
prestige and standing.

1t was shortly after six o'clock wnen
Mayor Batson received telephone
request to send Chief Potter to the
.eeene. The mayor agreed and the big
truck was put in action. Just forty
two minutes after it left Hattiesburs
it steamed up beside the log pond,
begged in the mud in order to get
close enough to the water, and turned
it's two great streams of water onto
the flames.
The fire had started in the extreme
south end of the yard and was travel
ing north. There were about 5,OOO,OOO
feet of lumber on the docks running
north and south parallel with the main
road and about three million feet
more in sheds and stacks between this
section and the mill. Fortunately, the
wind was blowing away from the mill,
so that no danger was encountered
from that source.
Chief Potter viewed the scene hur-
riedly. He realized that the names
must be cut off short at the south
end of the yards, fearing that if they
reached the north end they might
spread toward the mill. So he sta
toned himself and his men as near

the water.
For an hour the flames continued
to roar as violently as before. ou'

stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. 1t
was barely six o'clock. He turned over

Then he hurried into the next tent,
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully.

him gently.

Quest nodded.
