Sherman, Tex.-Texas is considered
one of the foremost states in the Un-

its youths. 1t can be said to the credit
Of the state that it has as many really

He served the Bethesda Baptist

frame building was erected. and it is
now presided over by the Rev. DIR. S.

For his educat ton he is indebted to
Bishop college, Marshall. Tex, which
gave him the degrees Of bachelor Of

accomplished SO much in theological
and literary way, the honorary degree
Of doctor of divinity was conferred on
