Tougaloo Hears

The faculty and student body of

their own number, the Rev. L. T.
Larsen. Mr.. Larsen is Professor Of
Religion and Philosophy at the coll

the American Missionary Associa-
ton school for many years. He was
Dean of Straight College of New

Rev. Larsen built his theme a.

we will fail or "peter-out" during
our attempt to succeed. The idea of
petering out comes the action Of the
impetuous disciple, Peter, who
started off in a big way only to

Many helpful suggestions were
given by the speaker from his long
years of experience on how one

quisite is self confidence. We must

EASTER GREETINGS TO ALL OUR READERS
AW@@k OF
The WAR

Since the occupation of Sousse
by the British Eighth Army and
the fall of Kairouan to a combined
allied force, the Battle for Tuni-
STA has moved out of the cat-and-
mouse phase into a phase of siege.
The race up the coast, which be-
gan on April when the British
drove Rommel out of his Mareth
Line defenses, has ended, and
Rommel and Won Arnim are now
entrenched in the mountain-clad
triangle of Tunis-Bizerte.
Storming these defenses is the
immediate job facing the Allies in
Tunisia, and it is not likely to be
an easy one.
Number of AriS Troops
From the start of the attack on
the Mareth Line to the middle of
last week, the Allied forces in
Tunisia have taken more than
10000 Axis prisoners, over 10000
of these captured by the British
Eighth Army alone ecretary of
