Just Folks
By Edsas A. GussG
BE A GENTLEMAN.

You can grow rich and rise to fame,
Iifcs highest prizes you can claim,
And prove your skill and prove you
might,
And still be kindly and polite.
You can grow great without conceit,
Can be n friend to all you meet,
And have . cheerful word to say,
And still get far along life's way.
You do not need 10 wear . frown
To come TO glory or renown;
You can succeed in any sphere,
And still respect your neighbors here.
You need not treat your fellows i'll
To prove that you're q man of skill,
Just look about You and you'll find
The biggest men arc also kind.
You need not wear a stony face
To hold your station or your place,
You can do all that mortals can.
And still remain a gentleman.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Results of Baptist Campaign

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 Our great evangelistic campaign among the Baptist churches of the Bir-
 ningham district is over. There were 1,.22 additions to the churches There were 172,000 chapters read in the Bible. Many churches increased their pastors salaries Other churches went from half time preaching to full-time preach ing. Some planned to build homes for their pastors. These were some of the visible results. The mightiest work was done in the hearts and minds of the people.
 We wish to say to you as editor or The Age-Herald that your paper played a very conspicuous part in the success of our campaign, and as superintendent of missions of this great city, having had in charge the details of the cam paign from the first to the last, and knowing the mind of the people, we
 wish to say to you that we are pro- foundly grateful for all of your CO., operation and assistance, and we hope that next year when the evangelists re- turn, you will be as glad to cooperate then as you were this year. We beg to remain yours most cor ldially and fraternally,
