with Mrs. J. P. Reeder, the

Nassau 9 o'clock in the morning of

Dr. Sand in company with others
along with many bystanders who
seemed to have been conscious as
i well as vglad of the purpose of our
visit to the Island.
, It was ours to be in the company
with the president to receive
; greetings extended to us through
a program of welcome that was
rendered* at Zion Baptist MisjubtT
headquarters on the-night of tho
17th. Frorp this point of interest
every hour was filled for fiVc days
in contacting and being contacted
on the Island. The hospitality
that we received as representat

The economic as-well as the educational

When we realize that there are

preach funerals. But I would jtfst
as soon preach a funeraf as to
lead my members out to lakes on
Sunday, or to close my church
and beat them to the theatre on
Sunday. We. as ministers don't
have anything else to do but
preach funerals on Sunday. We

to attend funerals during: the week
