convinced now that there is much |
work to do, for God and the

about so great a woman. Sh0 is j
fully prepared and able to handle!,
anything the church may give ,
her. She is touring South Caro i!

Rev. B. H. Gray the pastor of Mt
Pisgah is one of the best preach

arut a very" few equals, in the""
state irrespective of color or de !'
nomination. And the big fours ot
the church are making placc for
him higher up. He is a preacher
plus a high class, moral gentle. ,
man and nothing to keep him
back. People are saying in all
parts and sections of the state

conference with President J. J. i
Starks Tuesday in his office. L
Though ho was very busy with j
school matters hc stopped long'
enoug h to discuss a few vital j
points with us.
?Our conference was limited, but '
we learned many things from this !
educator. His suggestions along
school and racial lines were tan
gible and worthy of attention.
W0 no longer wonder why Pres. 1
I
ident Starks succeeds with Bene.
diet college and every other thing !
he touches. Leaders of the race j
and ministers of any denomina f
tion would do well to discuss their (
problems with him. He has a :
big heart, a broad mind. He can
see things in the distance. He i
knows the preachers' problems; i
he knows the laymen's view og i
things and doubtless his leader <
ship is more influential than any
one in his-elass.
