The Megaphone Georgetown, Tex., Oct. 31, 1916 Dr. John R. Allen, emeritus professor of philosophy at S. U. and now editor of the Williamson County Sun, visited in Dallas for the past two weeks and while there was invited to fill the pulpit of the University Methodist chuch, Rev. A. Frank Smith, pastor. The "Campus" gives a very glowing account of his sermon, characterizing it as impressive and inspirational. Some of the strongest sermons that we have heard from the pulpit and chapel during our college course have been by Dr. Allen, and we are sure that S. M. U. students indeed enjoyed an intellectual feast. The Megaphone (Georgetown, Tex.), Vol. 10, No. 5, Ed. 1 Tuesday, October 31, 1916 Page: 3 of 4 |
