VANCE'S LECTURES IMPRESS STUDENTS Many Men Sign Pledges for Bible Reading and Christian Life The series of addresses de livered at the University of South Carolina from the 5 to the 7 of December by Dr. James 1. Vance, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Nashville, Tennessee, were in every way a success. Dr. Vance spoke six times. lie made his first address to the Law School, taking for his sub ject: My Reasons for Believing in Christ. Dr. Vance spoke thereafter in the chapel upon the following topics: A Young Man's Way, Fear not Them that Kill the Body, We should see Jesus, Man and His Maker, Home and the Far Country. Large crowds came out to hear him. At every meeting the chapel was filled with eager lis teners. His straight-forward, direct manner of speaking was liked by all. One hundred and two men signed pledges to form the hab it of daily Bible-reading and prayer. Ninety-six signed the following pledge on the final night: I accept Jesus Christ for all that he is and all that he can do for me and make it my pur pose to live a Christian life. Another Alumnus Farming Mr. Sims Spigener, who grad uated from the University in 1900 is now farming at Allen dale and at the same time buy ing cotton. His profits this year have been as much as the salary of a bank president. After Mr. Spigener finished the University he went into part nership with his father on the latter's place below Columbia; but owing to constant floods and continual loss of crops fpr several years in succession, they moved to another locality. Mr. Spig ener spent some years at the home which his father purchas ed on Sumter Street immediately in front of the campus. Clariosophic Society At the last meeting of the South Carolina Inter-Collegiate Association it was agreed that law students, who had not receiv ed a diploma from a college, would be allowved to enter the annual contest on equal terms with other undergraduates. Since the University of Geor gia has withdrawn from the de bating triangle another un ivers ity is to be substituted. It will be either theUn iversity of A labama or the University of Florida but more likely the University of Alabama. A definite proposal is soon to be sent to Georgetown Unve sity concerning the joint debate which is under consideration. If a satisfactory agreement can be reached the debate will be held at Washington sometime in March. Speaking in a purely literary manner, as we big writers say, in The Birth of a Nation there is no dearth of situation. CAPT. McMILLAN Retired Captain who is Succeeded by Kerr For 1917 Session.
