The golden jubilee and home
coming celebration which began at
Roger Williams University last
Thursday came to close Monday
afternoon when at o'clock the an

President A. M. Townsend in

perhaps the most interesting event
that has ever taken place in
the history of the noted Negro in

years of substantial and faithful
service which the institution has
rendered in Christian education the
hundreds of alumni from all over
the country have been touched in a
way that is expected to be most ben

The alumni got together in a brief
session during the celebration held
and presented to their alma mata the
sum of one thousand dollars in cash

all time as an indication of theil
loyalty and devotion to the institu

been made some time ago, under the
auspices of the Board of Trade, of
which Mr. A. N Johnson is the ac-
tive president. Prominent men
throughout the city had been invited
to participate in the exercises. A
number were invited but could not
attend because they were out of the

But long before the hour set for the
occasion it was certain that there

were again thrown open for a great
mass meeting for men only. Men from
all sections of the city and from all
walks of life rushed to listen to dis
cussion Of "The Strength and Glory
of Nation" At the invitation of pas
tor Williams all the sinner men were
invited to the front seats. They re.
sponded promptly and listened to our
discussion with tear-stained eyes, at
the close of whiih several took a
stand for Christ and were added to
the church. The spirit of Christ at the
mass meeting was very manifest.
Christian men, many of whom had
never before been aroused to work
for the souls of their fellows, came
forward on their own volition and Ia
bored strenuously for the conversion
OF their neighbors.
AT O'clock the B. Y. P. U. opened
its session in the Sunday School De-

younger Christians with bibles in
