H^^Ehe^)ld Gray" j: IMv. E. Philip Ellis ' I ! I . From Our Sick Room Last week-end found us in bed suffering from a threatening atti: tack fif flu, of which we have not yet fully recovered. We were fortunate indeed to have-on niic^gttEtt on last Sunday evening, Dr. E. F. G. Dent, th^ newly appointed State League President. He preach , ed at Morris Brown Sunday a.m. Iand at St. Luke Sunday p.m. Our c? serious regret was our inability to associate him at our service. But k- his reputation as one of the best preachers in the A.M.E. Church. His sermons have been the city's talk ?- n?n? ninnn Tit- T1pnt.'-?-prpg ram~g8~ outlined for this State is something now under the sun.^ It proves right place.

Lhu. 1 Dent on this v!sit. _He-also stirred the city with his masterful hd-| dresses. Prof. Garrett has succeed ed in making evi'iy ori" of us a-} ? gree that- when -he-keeps up an - agitation there is something ta it.1 Our differences have always been concerning our chief leaders. We confess that' our mistake has been we were taking our leader's word - and Prof. Garrett was :n-posses-! sion of facts. So wfyen we were putting up a brave defense to the public, they were seeking a secret I compromise at any cost, which is! a bie-h class wav of rtleadinp guilty to tho charges. When we' r?were almost at swords, point in their defense, they were down, on J their knees tflmost lifting t, h e I? roof off of a hotel .'n agonizing prayers to God to forgive them for the wrongs which they had committeed. Now what do -you think that? Well from now on this writer has" resolved to let every man bell his own cat, and never undertake to argue against a fact. Will say more~when I am well.
