pastor of Flower Hill Baptist Church
at Bonfils, Mo. 1t was during his
rastorate at this place that he met
Miss Lucy Steward, who later became
his wife in 1897. Two boys were born
to this union. In 1899 Sister Lucy
Boyd departed this life. He then be-
came the pastor of the church from
which he was ordained. From this
church Rev. Boyd came to Kansas
City, Mo-, and took up the pastoral
work at the Highland Avenue Baptist
Church, recently left vacant by the
death of Rev. Henry H. Robinson. At
this church he pastored twelve and
one-half years, during which time he
remodeled the basement and built the
auditorium. 1t was during the latter
part of this constructive work that
Rev. Boyd suffered his first serious
illness, which lasted about year, OF
ten becoming very i'll. He never fully
regained his health from this serious
attack. December 5, 1912, Rev. Boyd
was married to Mrs. Ida B. Johnson
In February, 1914, he resigned the
pdbLOIdt0 VI lilo iii6hiohu Nh'SAAeS
Baptist Church. On March 22,1914,
under the leadership of Rev. G. w.
Boyd, the Friendship Baptist Church
was organized with eleven members.
He took the world as he found it,
the Holy Ghost for his guide, Jesus
Christ as his elder brother, his wife
and members by his side. For sew
eraI months we wandered like yes
sci without a rudder, stopping here
and there, but thank God, he took on
passengers whenever he landed. On
the 22nd of July our hearts were made
10 rejoice when we moved to our pres
ent location, 100 Tracy avenue, with
a membership of 120. At this time we
hoisted our sail, the work grew nu-
merically and financially, struggling
through many ups and downs. He
succeeded in building a great church.
Az Paul, Rev. Boyd stood as a great
pilot on Gods vessel, leading 1t up
higher and higher, ever keeping his
hand on the throttle. When in mid
ocean he was overtaken by great
waves Of afflictions, yet through 1t
all he pressed onward.
Even though weak, his hand could

Pres. Wilson's Letter Reunites the Republicans

There is a high bluff rising beyond
the city and on it is a grove OF shell
tering pines that almost hide a very
old chapel that has been destroyed
by shell fire, but some of the images
are still standing. From this hill one
may see many wonderful sights, many
which the censor will not permit me
to relate. There is also another small
chapel that was built in the year
1887 and it has also been destroyed
by shell fire of the Germans. A few
nights ago there was a great bonn
bardment which lighted the whole
heavens and made the earth tremble
and increased in density until we
could not sleep. 1t lasted through the
night. Many of us will never forget
that night as we saw the first view
of battle of the greatest war that has
ever been fought. A tremendous bat
terry Of ours not very far away makes
our windows shake and rattle as hit
by flying stone. The officers treat
the men very nice, and are almost
like comrades to them, and they urge
the men to write home as much as
possible; even if they must burn
some midnight light. OF course all
the cities are dark at night, as the
German airplanes may make a slight
mistake and drop a bomb, so we Just
keep everything dark so that he will
not make this blunder. You would be
surprised to know how soon things

ly interested in the sights about us
the first few days, but it soon wears
off, and now it would take a divisional
attack to arouse us to any state of
curiosity. Everyone has a gas mask
and are worn all the time, and the
boys are very proficient in getting
them on if it should be necessary to
wear them in a gas attack. The
French roads are wonderful, despite
the fact that they are bearing a tre-
mendous amount of traffic. They are
as firm as a rock and have been a
great factor in the success of the
war thus far, and l am sure they are
the paramount means of holding the
enemy at bay thus far. There are
they are as thick as they are in New
York and there is a continuous stream
of automobiles and trucks all the day
and night.

not have time to learn, so l must get
along the best way l can, although
you do not need to know much, and

readily learned. l am we'll and hearty
and never before in my life have
felt so healthy, so / am satisfied that
the army is very agreeable. Give my
love to all the members and say that

peace to them always. 1 am in the
midst of a great workshop, but we
always find time to praise our Maker.
So do not forget to pray for me that
may return home safely and may
ever keep on the right side of the
path Of life. And as the day grows
on, want to say abide with me,
fast falls the eventide, the darkness
deepens, Lord with me abide"
And as the darkness begins to wrap
the earth in it's folds, want to utter
from my lips the old familiar song:

The Negro Troops-(Engineers)

The Negro troops have sailed away,
Thinking only 20 join the fray.
They've sailed across to do their
share
And to keep "Old Glory" forever fair.
The Negro troops think hard and fast
What to do so the Kaiser won't last,
But now they have hit the only plan:
Do their duty, and fight for "Uncle
Sam"
Their only thought by night and day
Is to bomb the Kaiser and put him
away.
They want a chance at the Grown

Then the Kaiser will have the Ger

And now they'll make the Germans

Too far from Berlin the Huns have

Then the Kaiser will toe the line.
They'll make him respect "Old Glory"

That's what the Engineer troops are
going to do.
