He aaid that Tifton attracted him because of the beauty of its setting, the charac ter of its public buildings and the high type of its citizenship, but more es pecially by the fact that it recognised and appreciated the work of its public men and gave that appreciation expres sion. South Georgia’s beauty drew poetic tribute from the speaker. He said hi had traveled in practically every coun try of the world, but he had failed Without Christ" Rev E L Henderson.
