caslon o. Rev. Boyd's reoont ele-,
walton to the presiding eiderGbilS mat
ar. Pittman chose this manner q
b0noring him.
A very noticeable feature o. this
dinner was the fact that those who
were present BY special invitation
Of Mr.. Pittman were also those lead
efa Of the various church denomina~
tons who have been equally as
closely identified with him as his
personal friends. Perhaps the most
interesting incident that character
1xed this dinner was that n the num-
bsr Of those present de majority
were representatives OF the African
Methodist l1pf scopal church, closely
followed by those OF the Methodist
Episcopal. In explanation Of this
fact Mr.. Pitlman stated TO me that
since his sojonrn In Texas bY tar
The greatest source OF his constant
support professionally has come
through Moth0dlst connection. In
honoring DR.. Boyd he therefore soeis
that IN some small way he rs grasp
ing an opportunity to show his graft
flido and appreciation to that church
Tor the many favOrs he has received
al IT'S hands through its pulpit.

Fellowship and friendly greetings.
