spot— if not more so!
In the eloquent words of the lamented
Vann, who was called “the Henry Grady
of the Negro race,” “Tennessee is beau
tiful, sir, all the way—from where she
pillows her queenly head upon her shag-
_ Igy mountains on the east to where she
bathes her comely feet in the majestic Father of
Waters on the west.”
And whether amid her towering mountains or on
her fertile plains, I rarely see or even think of Ten
nessee but that I remember and want to sing, to the

tribute:
“O Tennessee! fair Tennessee!
The land of all the earth to me!
I stand upon thy mountains high
And hold communion with the sky—
And view thy shining landscape o’er —
O Tennessee forevermore!”
And here in beautiful Murfreesboro, with her syl
van shades, her princely homes, her commanding
commerce, her magnificent schools, her forests of
cedar, her droves of stock, her herds of cattle, her
royal people and her sons and daughters of fame—

here, I tell you, the man who is looking for inspira
tion may drink to the full where orators quaff,
authors build and poets sing and dream.
Think of it, good people, I am guest again in the
home of Alex W. Bealer, preacher, poet, brilliant
writer and lecturer, whose departure from Georgia
has made the old State seem “lonesome” ever since.

That in itself would be inspiration enough for me—
and be it said that he is about the only man I know
of right now who could have made me leave the joy
and exhilaration of the Florida prohibition campaign,
even for two weeks, for I had been with him in
gracious meetings at generous Cartersville and
glorious Thomasville —and then he and his wife
“kinder” brought up my wife for me, and Bealer
spake the words that swelled the current of my high
est joys and increased my avoirdupois about 123
pounds, and —well, I simply could not say him nay.
And it seems now that, building on his tireless
personal work and prayerful preparation, our third
meeting is about to be the best. Last Sunday
crowned the first week with many conversions and
many family altars erected.
Tennessee College on Historic Spot.
Alex Bealer’s home, where I am stopping and
where his noble little wife and children make me
feel so refreshingly at home, is right across the
street from “Tennessee College for Women”. This
great new institution, founded only four years ago,
crowns the beautiful old campus of Union University,
beginning its work away back in the forties, with
Dr. Joseph H. Eaton, father of the famous Dr. T. T.
• Eaton, as its first president. Here Capt. J. G. McCall,
the erudite scholar, theologian and lawyer, of Quit
man, Ga., was a teacher for years. Here Prof. R. D.
Jameson, father of the beloved -Prof. T. Jameson,
superintendent of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, in
South Carolina, was president from ’79 to ’B4, and
here the good old man came last week, with thirty
odd of the old students, for a delightful reunion; and,
while the old school is no more, many great men out
in the world bless the name and memory of “Old

nessee College, with “everything new but the cam
pus”, is the only college strictly for girls under the
control of the Baptists of Tennessee. The building
is a superb brick structure (its picture has appeared
in The Golden Age), with an enrollment of about two
hundred girls. President George Burnett is a cul
tured, consecrated young layman, who believes that
the dedication of his talents to sensible, Christian
training of womanhood is the best possible invest
