We chatted with him thirty jor more minutes and he still has the churctyat heart. We understand thet the majority of his ministers "TuSve^paiiT him hTs full quota, and, Dr. Spears think his district will not fall behind at the ensuing annual conference. This speaks well for him and his district and this reporter hopes his prophecy will come true. Dr. Spears has never lived in Columbia, but Columbian* are doing their bit in making him comfortable. Friend Spears has gone out of his way many times to help jpoor struggling ministers, regardless of - -denomination and this editor sus peets that he had to pay some of the bank note3 ho endorsed. He will be' in Columbia for several weeks. Drop him a "get well" card and send him a donation, though small, he would appreciate it. The Rev.
