ing Talk Before Society
Yesterday Afternoon

TOTTENNILLE. Feb. 21.-Rev.
DR.. Carl Wallace Petty, pastor o;
the Mt. Morris Baptist church, Man
haitian, vas the speaker at the guest
day of the Philemon Literary and
Historical Society yesterday after
20 at the Masonic temple. DR..

subject, 1.-The Call to leadership"
His talk was of an interesting ma
ture, taking both the humorous and
patriotic side of the great question as
brought out by the speaker. He

army and navy played in that strus :
gle with regard to leadership.
DR.. Fetty spoke of all being equal
at that time with regard TO what
country they had come from to
these shores, they being all Ameri-
cans when they left together to light
on the other side.
The speaker sale hat he detested
to hear any one call an Italian, a
wop, a Jew a kike, or a Chinaman
a chink. He said that If every one
would stop to consider from what
country their fore-fathers came from
they would find that they were de-
scendants from some OF the foreign
nations. He spoke of the family
tree in the same spirit and said that
many had written up their family
and gathered the names of them but
that in most every case that he has
known there was some in the family
that they did not want to be known
in the family tree. He said that he
never had q family tree and did not
want one He told of the locality OF
his church and of the different class
Of people on each side from which
during the war was made up OF the

Elsa e. Evans, president, presided
and introduced the speaker. Hub
