ENGINEER FANT SPEAKS.
Inspiring Address at Bijou Theatre
Sunday Afternoon.
- Mr. D. .J. Fant, of Atlanta, Ga., the
well known Southern engineer, was
heard by an ' audience of about 400
men at the Bijoa theatre Sunday .af
ternoon. The subject of his address
was "An Emergency Run." He urged
those present to be prepared for the
emergencies of life by taking Christ
as their pleader and their authority.
The victory comes to those who are
prepared,-he. said, and it is therefore
highly important that men take ad
vantage of the many opportunities
for preparing for life's duties.
He is a practical railroad man, and
illustrated his address with many ex
periences: from his own life which
were,,; most, apt and impressive. He
made" av powerful plea for a practical
Christianity, one: that will help men
to-live better-and nobler-lives. ....
