the Department OF History in the o. A.
G., Friday evening was listened to by
a null house composed Of the people of
the community. the pupils of the pub
lie school, and the teachers. The lec-
ture was illustrated by slides showing
the conditions Of the people in the
land where there are no free schools,
churches or community clubs.
The professor was accompanied by
W. II. Gaskins, director of music in
the o. A. c., and County Agent
Cooter, graduate of the o. A. C.
G. w. Pogue, president of the Com
munity Club acted as chairman OF the
meeting and introduced the speakers
MIR. Gaskins was first introduced and
asked to sing a song, but instead he
gave an interesting talk on the charms
o. music and the wonders OF the radio.
Next came Mr.. Cooter with some
humorous remarks that pleased the
audience and put them just right to
listen to the lecture. Mr.. Cooter by
request had brought his own acetylene
tank with which to run .he machine
Tor Prof. Horner. The professor was
then introduced amid round OF ap
plause. Prof Horner seems to have
the hearts OF the young people. He
ut once launched into his subject. AS
the slides came on he explained the
meaning Of each one. He had aiken
these pictures himself and he knew
they were correct, when visiting the
Holy Land some years ago. The party
consisted OF Mr.. and Mrs. Homer,
their two daughters, Rev. ]. R. N.
Bell and two other ministers. They
Travelled for weeks in Egypt, the era
die cf the human race. They saw and
photographed The great pyramids
one of which covers more than thir-
teen acres Of ground, the sphinx, OBJ
elisks, sepulchers and other objects
Of interest. He said the pyramids
were built to mommemorate the name
OF scane great kings. In the sepul-
chers where the dead were placed had
now become the home of bats and
moles and the catecombs had been
abandoned and used now as dwelling
places for the poor. The great uni
versity that once occupied 40 acres
Of land, had fallen into decay and
passed away. Here at this university
it is believed st. Paul. Moses and
other great men Of ancient times re-
coived their education. The people OF
Egypt at one time were highly edu'
Gated and civilized but fell because
they forget God, excluded themselves
from the rest OF the world and went
into materialism like Germany and
passed out of existance as govern.
ment. Prof. Horner said the lights
OF the home, the free schools and the
church must be kept burning brightly
or We as nation would go the same
way. The professor is not an evolu.
Zionist. He believes that Chris st!anity
as taught by Christ is the greatest
civilizer in the world. One of the sad
things in the lecture was where a ma,
tive girl was sold to q man to become
his wife. She was examined as you
would a horse, and then led away to
exc out miserable existance with no
more say in the matter than a calf
Where you have no schools
no churches and no civilization, wo-
men are held as slaves. America is
great because she is free and has
free institutions and Egypt is dark be-
cause she has no free schools, no
churches and no free institutions.
The brain must work in order to direct
the hands. You must put brains into
your business Or you cannot succeed
says Mr.. Horner. The address was
greatly appreciated and a rising vote
OF thanks was extended to him at its
close.
