DO|NGS AT ME-
HARRY COLLEGE
DR.. HUBBARD REVIEWS LIFE OF
MRS. SAWYERS.

ings being held at Meharry are at
tracing much attention among men,
bers of the faculty as we'll as the
student body. Reports say these
are already bearing much I
good fruit. Evidences are observed
in public places where large bodies of
people are thrown together as upon
thickly crowded streets, in the trans
fer station and on crowded street .
cars. The writer has observed
younger people of both races volun-
tarily giving up comfortable seats to .
the aged late in the day when work |
is over and everybody is anxious to |
reach home on the first car to pass. /
This incidence occurred: Two aged |
laborers with buckets in hand board |
ed a crowded car, two young men
well dressed, sat midway the car,
when the two laborers crowded up
the aisle, the young man next the
aisle, looked around, scanned the
tired faces and bent forms of the
laborers, spoke to his companion and
then touched the laborer on the arm
rising at the same time and beckoned
him to the empty seat. The two lab
orers with thankful hearts, which
showed on their rugged swarthy
faces, bowed polite thank you,
and meellly took the proffered seat.
AS | witnessed this scene of brotherlv
love | could but breathe a prayer of
Thanksgiving to the God of all man
kind that it was mine to witness this
noble act of these young men who
stood for twelve blocks or more in
the places in the aisle formerly oc-
cupied by those tired aged laborers,
and watched with visible satisfaction
the comfort these seats seemed to
render the decrepit laborers. We
cannot attribute this act Of manli-
ness alone to those recent meetings
for some kind parent or some gentle
nurse had sown the seeds in the
breasts of these young men early in
life and this single act was only
part of the good fruit that must
spring from good seeds sown.
Mrs. Sallie Hill Sawyers, mother at
Bethlehem House crosses the Bar at
Hubbard Hospital last Wednesday,
March 5th. Mrs Sallie Sawyers
tbreathed her last about 1925 a. m.
Her life in this city was an open
book, known and read by all DR..
Hubbard in speaking at the funeral
said, Fifty years ago she sat as
pupil in Belle View public school,
where he was principal. He paid a
glowing tribute to her sacred mem
DRY and admonished all present to
strive to emulate her virtues.
DR.. and Mrs. Hubbard visited the
Parent-Teachers Association, wit
messed an interesting program rend-
cred by the children. They looked
into the rooms where half century
ago they toiled with our children to
implant right principles in their
young minds. 1t must be pleasing
to them to see the good fruits of their
labors.
