city, they have planned to
complete the raising of the
funds for the building of a fit
ing monument to the late Bap-
tist Leader, Founder and
Builder. This Commission was
appointed some years ago by
the late Rev. Edward p. Jones

the National Baptist Conven-
tion of America, and it has
served under each of the Pres
idents. DR.. John E. Wood, who
succeeded Dr. Jones, endorsed
the work of the Commission
during his tenure Of office as
the leader of this Baptist
group, and now the Rev. G.

Of the Convention, down in
Galveston, Texas, has put his
whole : hearted endorsement
and support favoring Boyd
Memorial Month, the Boyd
Memorial Commission and the
erecting of a fitting memorial
here in Nashville SO that un-
born generations will be able
to look at the shrine, study his
life and works and familiarize
themselves with what a for

attended school, and yet be-

practically beatena path to his
