REV. H. A. BOYD. THE SUNDAY
SCHOOL GENIUS. VISITS THE
CITY OF ROSES.

Rev. DR.. Henry Allen Boyd's visit
to the city of Little Rock will long
and pleasantly be remembered by the
church-going people. He distin-
guished himself as an orator, scholar
and trained thinker. His sermons
both at the Mt. Pleasant Baptist and
Collins Street Baptist Churches were
master demonstrations of pulpit eff
fciency. But it was left to the Sun
day school mass meeting at 3 p. m.
at the First Baptist Church to bring
from him his exclusive genius. His
lecture on Front Line Sunday Schools
and How to Build them" was of the
highest grade and would have been
fit for a kings ear. 1t was indeed a
masterpiece and showed prepara-
ton, skill and all that is necessary
to put great subject in the most
impressive way to his great audience.
He is indeed worthy son Of a great
sire. We wounded not at the great
and efficient strides of the Sunday
School Congress. To hear Henry A..
Boyd is sufficient testimony for its
efficiency. The great amount of work
necessary in the Sunday school, how
toaccomplish it, stuck tothe Sunday
school workers of the city. It is the
opinion of the editor of the Peoples
Defender that the visit was one Of
the most profitable ever paid to our
city by any of the great men of our
race.

This writer referred to above, also
declares that the president should be
a man of sufficient elOquence and con-
yincing argument that he will be able
to arouse the African Methodists OF
the state ito their danger in allowing
other denominations to educate their
children"
| do not think we need a man for
any such purpose. That argument
may have had some merit in the past,
during the days of Christian intoler

now, for any such prattle. There is
probably not an institution of learn
ing in Nashville today, but what has
students on its roll, who are not men,
bers of the denomination which fosters

'9ts of other denominations among the
student body, but members of the

most successfully impress the people
that it is dangerous to allow their

There walked into a recruiting sta

A great big, stalwart fellow;
And said: Il wish to defend our ma

Because l have no streak Of yellow.

And love the lannon's roar;
And when the battles noise grows
louder,
Then swiftly to the fray I'll go.
Those bloolaing, whizzing bullets
Are music to my ear;
And the enemies cleaning swords
A man like me will never fear"
But, just then as he was boasting
About dead Boches and where to

A keeper opened the door thereon
And returned him to the asylum.

OF SPLEN-
DID YOUNG MAN

After an illness Of several weeks
of influenza and pneumonia, Bud
Garner passed to his final reward at
his home, near Terrell's schoolhouse
on Thursday, and was laid to rest at
Corinth Friday. Funeral services
were conducted by his pastor, Rev.
C. A. Morrison, and the Odd Fellows
held a brief service at the grave,
paying a deserved tribute to one of
their honored members. He was also
Woodman in good standing.
There is nothing more expressive
" sad than the death of the young,
just stepping out upon the threshold
of life, with all the beauties and posi-
bilities yet to be unfolded. Bud was
% years of age, AS day by day we
see the shadow of the great mys-
terry of death gathering darker and
darker over the young life, and be-
hold their sufferings, we UNCONSCIOUS
ly wonder why one so worthy and
upright and noble as this young
man should be cut down in the very
flower of his manhood. Nothing but
the Christian faith can answer the
vague thoughts that come to US on
such occasions. But echoing down
the ages we hear the words of the
Savior of mankind saying, "Of such
is the kingdom of heaven"
In his death the community has
lost one of the noblest, most upright
young men, and to the bereaved the
Enterprise extends sympathy.

War Rations Cannot be Blam'
ed for Loss of Flesh, Say
Authorities.

According to leading authorities,
it is no longer necessary for thin,
frail people to give up hope of be-
coming strong and healthy. The
discovery Of Irogen, they say, has
demonstrated the fact that thinness
is caused by a lack of the nourish-
ment which nature requires for the
building of flesh and strength and
which it is now known Irogen sup
plies.
This new discovery, they point
out, has been proven, after exhaust
i've experiments and tests, to be
one of the most important made in
modern times, inasmuch as its re-
suits are permanent, and unlike the
so-called tonics, which only tempo
rarily stimulate.
One physician declares that thin
people need not put the blame for
their excessive thinness and lack of
endurance powers upon the present
restrictions and conservation of food
stuffs, for food alone cannot build
flesh, if the blood itself is not prop
erly nourished There is more than
enough food nowadays, he con-
tends, but nature requires something
more for starved blood and nerves,

Berlin. The Prussian food controller
again has requested to be relieved
from office and the resignation of
the Prussian minister of public works
