Roosevelt’s experiment in new
opportunities.
All colonization projects
are beset with great difficul-

beginning is the history of
each. Men away from custo-

to our friends and members in

you and you need us, and to-
gether, we all need the bless-
ing that only God, our great
Father, can give to his faith-
ful. That little boy or girl

Last Sunday we had classes,
followed by the communion
with oar Lord in partaking of
the emblems of His broken
body and His spilled blood.
That prepared all present for
a great sermon, masterfully
and impressively delivered by
Bro. T. F. Boswell. At the
close of the sermon, five came
forward, some to renew their
allegiance, some to renew their
and the ordinance of baptism
was administered to three oth-
ers who made the good con-
fession.
Then Sunday night they kept
the best until 8 o’clock, when
Mrs. Boswell thrilled her au-
dience with an eloquent and
dramatic presentation of the
trial, crucifixion and resurrec-
tion of the Savior. When any
one can make your scribe grip
his chair unconsciously, its in-
teresting, and I did.
I want to see twenty-five in

will have them. Now don’t let

left Tuesday afternoon for
Tuscaloosa. Ala., where they
will make their homo. Mr.
Francis will leave later,
though his business interests

South to See Campaign
Open
(Tyler Courier-Times)
For the first time in th« his-
tory of political campaigns, it
now is likely that President
Roosevelt will open the 1936
campaign in the south.
He has indicated that as icon
as congress adjourns he will
go to Arkansas. There he is
expected to make a speech in
the interest of Senator Joseph
T. Robinson. Huey P. Long
already has served notice that
he will oppose Robinson’s
campaign.
Mark these words of con-
deuce from the President:
"I have no more doubt of
the 1936 election than I bid
before the 1932 election. . . .
I doubt if even the most
sanguine among our assailants
think that republican success
is ucssible in 1986.”
The south will be the first
step in a victory march for the
President.
No one can donbt it
