; thor of a Hebrew book and several
other volumes.. Columbians m
! were anxious to get first hand in- ja
j formation of his merits and from co
la!l quarters they were elated with .1(
I what they saw and heard. Under

i ;o handle the most critical situa- p
ition i udcr any condition. His g,
j sermon Sunday, from the subject: gj
; "I Sat Where They Sat," is the j(
j talk~of Columbia. He is recogniz- m
ed by many as the leader of the 1(
