and facilities at the AM&N College. The lawsuit
planned never was begun because he decided that he
would be gone from the state for several years He
still remains in the state Of Arkansas and has prov

as having been along with Jesus until the hour Of
crisis arose But, Stlas Hunt never wavered and up
on seeking counsel, he resolved his thinking and
held steadfast until the end He is admired and re-
spected by the men and women who love freedom
He was worried I'm afraid as he heard himself eulo-
gzed by one who accompanied him to Fayetteville
but lost FAITH WITH A CAUSE I wonder how
people can do il but they can do ANYTHING WHEN
