Rev. f. o. s. Curtis.

The following beautiful tribute to
the memory of Rev. F. o S. Curtis,
taken from recent issue of the Bap-
tist Courier, will be appreciated by
hundreds of Dillon unity friends by
whom Mr. Curtis is most affection
ately remembered:
"Of all the men have known there
was not one at all like Curtis. OF
his honesty, truthfulness and true
ness; of his purity, sincerity, unself-
ishness, piety, devotion. loyalty, C ur-
age and all that goes to make an
ideal man and Christian, never in
all my life doubted. And yet al
though he was twelve years my
senior, he always made ME feel he
was a boy. Only his close friends
felt that way, l am sure, for out in
the world he was self-assertive
en- ugh. But among his friends he
had learned the disciple spirit taught
by Christ as no other man I ever
knew had, viz, that of making him
self the least among them. With the
Lord and his brethren he was little
child. For simplicity and transpar-
ency he surpassed any man I ever
knew.
His sermonizing and preaching
were unique. He studied homilitics
under DR.. Broadus, but paid little at
tention to it in after life. He was
almost genius in his naturalness.
have heard him preach often and he
never b red me, nor annoyed me but
always gave me pleasure and helped
me. 1t was joy to hear him preach
Socially he was jewel. Not that
he sparkled in witty or pithy sayings
but that in his good cheer and love,
illness and lovefulness, he as beauti.

And withal be loved to be loved
and, God bless him. he 6 t full
measure from all who knew him In
heaven, now? With God and all the
good? Where else could Curtis &c
and be at all satisfied or at all fit his
environment?
Earth was never a fit place for his
pure and noble 8 ul. In the pres
ence of his splendid spirit can
hardly feel much boldness Of hope to
come also. But I am sure he would
ask God to let me in and grieve if ]
were turned away.

Covering % states of the uni n,

ance and stamina will live for long

annals.
Primarily this was not trip for
a record, ncr journey to display the
Dort's prowess particularly. to the
public, but an endurance run to give
the bort engineering and testing de-
partment accurate and adequate data
regarding bort performance in vari-
Gus climates and under varying con-
ditions. Consequently the results of
the trip not only afforded wealth OF
particular information regarding ev-
cry part of the bort car, but also Of
fered to every motorist splendid
demonstration of bort ability.
For the car made the trip and made
1t. not only successfully but without
mishap. The miles it travelled during
the journey were equal to the mileage
of more than two ordinary seasons
of an automobiles life.
The start was made from the fac
tory in the late summer and contin-
ued throughout the forepart Of the
winter months. This enables the
testing crew to thoroughly investi-
gate touring conditions over all sorts
of roads and through every conceiv-
able climate. There were snow drifts,
mud, rain, hills and mountains and
the way the bort car negotiated bad
roads and heavy snow was in itself a
revelation even to the members of the
engineering staff who took the car
the entire route.
The states traversed combined the
shell roads of the South, the noun
tainous roads of the West, the per-
feet roads of Calift rnia and the gum
bo mud roads of the central portion
OF the country. At times some Of the
roads were mud pools for miles at a
stretch or else were undated lakes

ish women. with their wells thrown
back from their faces may now be
seen as saleswomen in scores of Con-
stantinople shops They are even en-
ployed as street sweepers.
Necessity Causes Change.
There has been a great cutlery
against Moslem women accepting en-
ployment which forces them into as
ISOLATION with men, especially Chris
tan men, but the economic pressure
has been so strong that religious pre-
JUDGES had to make way. The need
for nurses with the army gave Moslem
women their first opportunity to get
hospital training and become nurses.
That was the entering wedge which
has opened the way into other en-
Payments monopolized by Greek and
Armenian women. Turkish women
may now be found in telephone ex-
changes. They are acting as cashiers,
janitors and even street car conduc-
tors.
Stern necessity has won for Turkish
women an independence which was
undreamed of six years ago, and the
wall of the unframed women forced to
earn their livelihood has aroused
Turkish leaders TO a Relation of the
necessity for better and more practical
education for women.
