“If you’d like to meet him per

Mr. Bailey thanked him. Thej
letter was duly dictated and type-

supper, Josiah William and Bil'j

to the big tabernacle near the

GOVERNMENT SENDS
70,000 TO COLLEGE
McCoy To Have Charge
Of Kiwanis Program
Wa.shinglon. April 10.—The,
federal government is sending |
more than 70,000 young men and i
women through college at a cost I
of $1,017,612 a month. '
These young people are attend-
iii.s 1.207 colleges located in
every slate in the union. Reports
received at the emergency relief
administration today did not,
however, include students being
assisted in Wisconsin. Indiana, :
Idaho. Dolawaip, Florida and Ne-'
braska.
Preliminary reports, Harry L. .
Hopkins, relief administrator,
said, show that the students are
doing work ranging from un
skilled labor to technical as.sist-
ance in laboratories and libraries
as well as clerical service and
waiting on tables.
He made public statements of
a iinniber ot college presidents
praising the program, among
them being J. R. McCain, presi
dent of Agnes Scott college. De
catur. Oa., who said:
“1 believe that this aid to stti- ‘
dents is perhaps the most con-
stnictive and is likely to he the
most permanent of all the bene
fits the government is provid
ing.
Sawyer had seats well up toward
the front. They' were interested
spectators of what was taking
place. The parade of converts up
to the improvised altar gradual
ly dwindled until the last strag
gler ha'd made his way up the
aisle and had shaken hands with
the evangelist.
Making sure that no others
were coming forward, Mr. Bailey
turned to Mr. Sawyer a.id said:
“Come on. Bill, let’s get up and
give him our letter of introduc
tion.”
So lip the aisle they started.
Mr. Sunday, mopping his perspir
ing face with a handkerchief
caught a glimpse of them. Rais
ing his hand aloft, he shouted
out:
“Wait a minute, before you
start another song, Rodeheaver!
Here come two more men.’’
Mr. Bailey and Mr. Sawyer ap-
proached^—Mr. Bailey having the
letter of introduction in his
hand. Billy reached down to greet
them.
“God bless you!” he exclaim
ed, as he shook Mr. Bailey’s
hand. .And “God bless you!” he
said again, as he shook Mr. Saw
yer's hand.
“1 have here—’’ began Mr.
Bailey, in that tvell known Bai
ley tone of voice which Tom Bost
can imitate so well, “I have
here—’’
“Yes. .ves!’’ said Mr. Sunday.
A week later, back home in
Raleigh again. Dr. O’Kelley, who
was pastor of the First Baptist i
church at that time, met Mr. Bai- 1
ley on the street and stopped him. I
“See here, Mr. Bailey,’’ he be'
gan, “What does this mean?”
"What does what mean?” in
quired the future Senator.

Mr. Bailey explained the cir

the episode, and when he got

before.

that Mr. Bailey is credited with j
