| do not worship men, but | want
to give them what is due them, and
/ want to here say that Mrs. X.
Bertha Hurst, the wife Of the bishop,
has contributed much to his success.
She is a wonderful woman, and a
worker. God give us more like her.
She is educated, refined and cultured,
and her hand goes out to the young
womanhood helping them to the high
er places in life. She makes heart to
heart talks to mothers as we'll as to
daughters and sisters, and wives.

head of his delegation, and / believe
that there was a conference or two

Dr. looks, who is managing the cam
paign for DIR. R. A. Grant, and he
has declared that this young man shall
go to the bench in 1924, and Georgia
has said Amen to it. looks is a CAM
paigner and a man of wonderful
power He is president of the con-
nectional council, and a presiding ell
der of ability. He will be chairman
of the Florida delegation to the gen..
eral conference

Southern Christian Recorder, J. G.
Caldwell, secretary Allen Christian

r. G. Ransom, will fall, Drs. NJ w.
Thornton, "a. L. Gaines, Charles Sum
Ifer Williams, and some others / will

The Baptist laymen and ministers
and leaders have been called in con-
ference for one day in Memphis,
Tenn, by DR.. l.. X. Williams, ptesi-

tion. This is done to come to direct
agreement on the work to be done by
