the Stone Mountain Memorial as¬
sociation had Mayor Jimmy Wal¬

the principal address ui the unveil-,

recently? Wasn’t it possible for
them to find an outstanding South¬

cipal speech?
We don’t know, but s mebow
we are caued to believe that they
had reasons for Jimmy making this
speech. You know he is mighty .

2. A certain poor widow threw into
treasury two mites (v. 42).
The mite was the smallest copper

one-eighth of a cent, therefore

3. Jesus said unto His disciples.
