LATEST ABOUT BOYCE

Elsewhere in this issue we have
an account of the Rev. Boyce Taylor's
defiance of the health authorities at
Murray, Kentucky. Since writing
that report we see the Rev. Taylor
has been arraigned in court. fined
500 dollars. paid the fine, and again
defied the authority Of the law by
holding prayer meeting. He and his
congregation are slated for another
trial. and it seems that nothing short
of the depletion of the Rev. Boyce's
finances will bring him to respect the
authority of the courts.

So far as we are able to learn
none of those i'll of influenza. in Hart

Few new cases have been reported
within the past few days. However,
this may be largely accounted for by
the fact that practically all the
younger people either have it now or
