Walden College located at Nash

of the NJ. E. Church has just closed
one OF the most prosperous years in
the history of its fifty-two years ex-
istence. Walden has had enrolled
during this school year over $50
students from twenty different states,
with over SO doing actual college
work. The Commencement exercises
were all of high order, Rev. ]. H.
Thompson of Murfreesboro, Tenn,
Bishop /. B. Scott and DR.. ]. B. Red
mond, of Paris, KY, and also Hon.
j. c. Napier were the principle
speakers. The Commencement adj
dress delivered by DR.. Redmond is
said to be one of the best ever de-
livered in the history of the institu-
ton.
Under the presidency of DR.. E. A.
White and strong faculty, this in
stitution in the past two years has
developed by leaps and bounds. Too
much praise cannot be given DR.. and
Mrs. E. A. White for the new life and
inspiration they have brought to the
institution.
About $4,000 is the amount spent
in the eight months at this institu-
ton, only $6400.00 of this amount is
given by the church, the remainder
is the result of thu business manage

S; irit while the speaker broke unto
us, as it were, the bread of life. Rev.
Boyd, don't think for once that we
have forgotten the Sunday School
Congress. Our Front Line Sunday
School has injected into all the boys
the Congress spirit, so much so that
they have unanimously agreed to
register with the Congress session in
1918. We have no slackers in the
army, so there will be none in our
Company Sunday school This mon
ey order that | am sending is for the
enrolment.
I'VE would send more, but we have
pouSnt War-saVlngs stamps and the
Third Liberty Loan Bonds. You can
see that we are patriotic bo'h for
our country and for our religious
work. If it is possible, We would like
for the readers of the Nashville
Globe, one of the greatest papers that
reaches the camp, to know what we
are dome and where we are, so that
the ci liens of Nashville and the
State Of Tennessee can be informed
OF their own soldier boys and the
part they are taking as well as what
they will do when we go over there
