Hooper Speaks at
 Fellowship Meeting

The Fellowship luncheon meeting last night at the r. M. C. A. was featured by talk by T. NJ. Hooker, and two vocal selections by the quartette of the First Methodist church Mr Hooker took his text from the Biblical reference. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the son of man be lifted up." In developing this text, he said that the need of the Christian world is to lift up Christ in the eyes of the world. The Christian man must lift up the prn- ciples of Jesus by consecrated life in the community. Hooker said, and stated also that the way to advance the principles of Jesus is for the Christian man to set personal eX- ample by his daily mode of living.
 The musical program rendered by the First Methodist quartette com posed the following numbers: "The King of Love My Shepherd Is," and "Jesus Savior Pilot Me" This quartette is composed of s. F. Hines, Miss Lucy Hearn Broadstreet, Walter H. Adams and Mrs. C. H. Moore. Mrs. Renfrow, organist at the First Methodist church accompanied at the piano.
