From the day of his becoming a Christian he resolved to prepare himself and to devote the remnant of his days to preaching the story of the cross; accordingly, he entered the Freed-Hardeman College and spent a part of three sessions in the literary and Bible departments. Brother Allen was a young man of high ideals and of a worthy ambition to adorn the doctrine of Christ wherever he went. He had preached in his native State of Arkansas for three or four years, held a few debates, and had planned an active summer's work in mission fields already selected. The immediate cause of his death was influenza augmented by heart failure. Brother Allen was greatly loved and appreciated by his schoolmates, classmates, and all who knew him. A short service was held at Henderson by the writer, after which the remains were shipped to Cash, Ark., his old home, and duly buried. He is survived by one brother and two sisters. --N. B.
