"Not only did Mr. Donaldieon refuse to permit me to hold services In his camp." said Mr Crabtree, "but hi ignored !VU Davison's letter also in this respect. I went ho far as to tele phone one of his officials, n warden m charge of the camp, and asked him if I could come out and hold services at night "This warden informed me that I would have to get Mr. Donaldson’'' permission to do that He laughed when I told him 1 had Mr. Davison’s permission.

"That small boys should be put in the company «>f hardened criminals is a disgrace t<» the South," declared Mr. Crabtree, ’n this respect Geor gia is far behind many of the other Southern States, many of which have begun t" realize tha< the prisoner is. after all. a human being and that ef forts should be made to elevate him rather than harden him in the ways of sin. In many Georgia camps 1 have seen little boy? crowded in camps of full grown men. which i« undoubtedly the worst thing that can conversations among the prisoners and I have yet to find a camp where the men are not glad to hear me pr each. Few Guards Are Converted. "But tin greatest trouble is among the guards and prison officials. In the five years that I have been doing evangelistic work In the convict camps, though the conversions of prisoners have been many . I have had but one convert among the guard? and officials.
