MEN’S BIBLE CLASS Last Sunday was Roll Call day in the Meu’s Bible class of the First Baptist church, there being 101 men present. Great enthusi¬ asm was manifested. Mr, Dave Alligood was preseut from Mari anna, Fla., and made a spleudid short address to the men. We are always happy to see old Alligood in our crowd. Prof. Lanier, formerly of How¬ ard College, Birmingham, but now of Kansas City, Mo., was also a visitor, and made a splendid speech which was enjoyed by all the men present. The singing was inspirational, and the fellowship was delightful. The teacher aud pastor of the class spoke ou ‘‘Things Worth Living For, are Worth Dying For.” A message that will be remembered by the large clgss who heard it. Following the class exercises, the men marched to the church in a body. It was estimated there were over three hundred in the congre gation Sunday morning At this service the pastor spoke on the “Reigning Life.” We are all proud of the old Bible class, and its history. May it continue to abide in the life and program of the First Baptist church. The good it has doue cau never be for¬ gotten.
