to that position largely by the
cloth.
1t is due to his wonderful abb
lily, and he can just remain there
until the Lord calls him up to
heaven if he so desires it. For
he has made good. Like all good
positions you will find others
trying to get it, but they will
have to wait until the Lord calls
Prof. Hawkins away to another
cline. One man in Florida, DR..
ID. NJ. Baxter has fOlled himself
into the believe that he can beat
Prof. Hawkins, by thinking that
the Lord wants him to be finan-
cial secretary. l knew the Lord
called men to preach, and tote
around the word, but l never
knew that he called them to be
secretaries and tote around mo-
ney. But then l hope that DIR.

should. He is presiding elder and
