"BOOSTER PERIOD"
Today is the beginning of "Booster Period" in the Herald's
Prize Contest, which means that friends of the condidates in the
great race can boost for their favorite by paying one or two years
subscriptions and secure for thex more votes now than at any
other time in the contest ; . ',
, Booster Period means that it is POSITIVELY the best per
iod in the contest for readers of The Herald to pay their subscrip
tions and "Boost" their favorite. From this it will be seen that
it is to the advantage of-every candidate to insist upon their 'fri
ends giving them a two year subscription 01 more NOW, 'while it
counts so muchV; Remember that "Booster Period"7 ends Satur
day, April 2ath, and that never again during the entire contest
will so many-rates be given on a single subscription. . :" ,
- Remember that during ''Booster Period" all subscriptions to
The Herald will count more votes than at any other time. Below
is given the scale of votes that will prevail during Booster -Period

Time fails me to mention all
of the speakers. Several were
from nearer home. Among them
were Dr. Potreat of Furinan
University and Dr. Geo. Ii.
Stuart of Knoxville, Tenn. These
men brought messages that will
not be forgotten soon.
Such conferences as these are
of great benefit to Christian
workers. It does ono good to get
out and see how another man is
doing tho same kind of work
that he is doing. It is a little dif
licult, however, for one to get
his, bearings. .When he hears one
man he arrives at the conclusion
that he will stay in his study and
learn the scriptures and go to
the church and teach the people.
When he hears another he do -
cides that he will get out and
fish for men. The only thing
thata pastor can do is to try to
do both.
One delightful feature is the
spirit of Christian Unity that
prevades all hearts. It is just
possible that one may come a-

way u stronger believer in his
the heavenly road than those ot
his denominational brand. Dr.
Morgan expresses it when he
.says that it is unanimity, not
uniformity, .that we want. There,
was a little pleasantry one morn
ing after we had been led in
prayer by a1'. minister who had
been introduced by Or. Dickey
as one of the Lutheran pastors
of the city. Dr. Morgan said
there seemed to be some curisioly
acoiit what denomination may
happen to claim the different
ones who appear. "Now Dr.
Dickey knows," said he, "that
my brother who led us in prayer
is not a Lutheran but a member
cvf the Catholic (not Roman)
Church to which we all belong. "
Thus lie voiced the sentiment of
those in attendance,

given 1 these subjects careful
study, in order to promote social
political and economic justice to
every class. . . .
Very much has been nccomlish
cd through Democratic legislat
ion, inspired by the vision of the
"New and greater freedom;" but
much more remains to be done
through progressive legislation
to bring about fully the crown

a greater social, civic and eco- '
nomic justice for all people and
the building of a greater State.
Whatever unselfish devotion to
to duty and fidelity to the trust
imposed may be found in my re-
COrd of public service. Whatever
posi tion leadership accorded me,
whatever degree of statesman,
ship attained, and whatever help
ful legislation I may have aided
iti securing, let these serve as
a pledge for my future endeavors.
