extensive ministry among all classes
of people. His former position as
lawyer has qualified him to under
stand the need of the Open Bible IN
the home and church. The exper-
fences common to one who has been
Probate Judge are also valuable to
the present ministry of Evangelist
Richards. He allows the Open Bible
to speak for itself and thus witness
against any who hear. After leaving
his legal profession, Rev. Richards
has travelled throughout the States
from Coast to Coast, speaking and
teaching the Full Gospel for all. He
has ministered as Bible Teacher and
Camp Meeting speaker in many sec
tions of the country. His experience
as lawyer and Judge have caused him
to be aware and thus pass on to 9TH
ers the danger of allowing the Bible
to be a closed Book, but the benefit
and value of having the Open Bible
in free land.
The public will enjoy the ministry
and help of this minister. All are
welcome to attend during these spec
aI days of meetings. Each service
will begin at 7:45. Rev. r. $. Berg
will assist in the meetings.

Hue Cagers Hopeful
As Tourney Approaches
1884 Champions
Wont To Regain
State Title
BY WILLIAM CATHEY

Zealously intent upon flashing
their most impressive team work OF
the season next week during the
annual State Junior College tourna-
ment at Scooba, the Goodman Gag
ers, having about recovered from
the stunning blows suffered through
out the regular campaign, have be-
gun work with plenty of enthusiasm,
determination and confidence in an
effort to perfect as much polish,
finesse and precision as possible 10
deploy against their opponents in
the big and important series.
Although realizing the very rough
road ahead of them, Coach Lloyd
Thomas Bulldogs believe they have
the scoring punch and defense to
cope successfully with any other
member of the conference. The COM
hination Of Russell Reid, Bill Penne-
baker, Paul Haynes, Jimmy Collums
and Joe Baker ranks among the most
effective units in the league. 1t has
speed, talent and resourcefulness.
Last year in the playoff at Laurel,
the Goodman crew had the misfor-
tune of losing to the Decatur War
riors in their opening contest, A to
as, not because of any superiority
on East C~entral's part, but on ac-
count of an injury to their spark
plug, Herman Snyder, who had made
an excellent job of steering them to
eventual triumph. With his depar-
ture, however, the Bulldogs lost
their coordination.
Not since 1884 has a championship
been CLEANED by a Holmes represen-
tative. Then the great quintet of
Bell, Steele, Greer, Madden and
Murette combined their brilliant
talent to annex the title. One can
rest assured that the present array
