SUNDAY WAS ANOTHER DAY
when we wished that we possessed
the mystic power to be in two or
more places at the same time
a day filled to the brim with ac-
tivities that no one wished to miss
but early we found that despite the
splendid cooperation of Mother
Nature to make this one of those
warm sunny days, for which our
section is noted - a day that en-
couraged one to be out in the open
to go from place to place-our
physical beings were in very I'M
cooperative mood so, instead of
attending the Anniversary Service
of the BROTHERHOOD BIBLE
CLASS down at Mt. Helm Baptist
Church Sunday morning-we had to
catch up on some much needed rest
all reports, however. are that DR..
EBERT L. TATUM'S speech was
good tonic-one, if taken by the
audience on hand to help this class
celebrate its 26th birthday, will
cure many of the ills of our peo-
pie.
