HAYWOOD AT DETROIT

Rev A. A. haywood who was sta

when he first entered the ministry has
been transferred from Jackson to De-
troit Rev haywood was at Jackson a
number OF years and was very well
liked in the prison city.
Rev Maywood's church at Detroit
is known as Cass Avenue M. f..
Church. The first thing Mr.. haywood
attracted attention to himself in De-
troit through special address that
he gave to the Y. M. G. A. Bible class.
Mr. haywood is credited with saying
that until a man can handle motor
car automatically and efficiently
without conscious effort, he has no
business on Detroit's busy avenues.
The statement was made in illustrat-
ing the way the human mind origin
ates and accomplishes certain opera
tions.

righteousness In his emergencies, his
crises. II isn't a question any longer of
whether he will be impure or in the

Science has progressed from the
theory that the biggest brain was the

brain OF most efficiency and power Is
that having the richest connections be
tween the experiences OF life and the
