GREATEST NTH CAROLINIAN Hon. Josephus Daniel, on learn ing that North Carolina Baptists ' proposed to purchase and make a sort of shrine of the birth place of Dr. Geo. W. Truett, sent $25.00 to be used for that purpose. In making the contribution Mr. Daniel observes that Dr. Truett is the greatest living Carolinian. He says: “He is a great Gospel preach er and in an age of change, unrest and drifting, he holds true to the eternal principles and has proclaim ed them all over the world. In such convincing simplicity as to touch the hearts and inform the minds of people everywhere. Ia is a great honor to our state to have produc ed such an eminent Christian who holds true to the faith in a gen eration when so many men seem to have lost the gleam.” Dr. Truett is considered the greaiest Baptist preacher in the world and one of the outstanding preachers living today. Others may excel in scholarship, but few if any in earnestness and oratory. He grips and holds with a mighty power his listeners wherever he goes.
