GREATER CITADEL VOTED BY HOUSE ! Only Seven in Opposition to Rebuild. Large Site is Given?Bill Appro- ! priates $300,000 for Three Year | Building Program?Vocation- , al Fund Voted. Columbia, Feb. 19.?Chief interest in the house of representatives at the morning session yesterday centered in the Mims-Hart bill to rebuild the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina. After considerable debate the bill was sent to third reading by a vote ' of 98 to 7 and will go to senate this ... I, morning, providing an appropriation of $300,000 for the erection of new buildings on the site of 200 acres given by the -city of Charleston. The money is to be available in three annual installments of $100,000 cacl Strenuous effort was made by Mr. Owens of Marlboro, to restrict the building fund to $300,000. He later offered an amendment to make the fund $400,000, which was overwhelm ingly voted down. Those who voted to support the measure as it came from the ways and means committee argued that there should be no strings attached, as no limitations were placed on proposed expenditures at Clemson and Winthrop. The funds for buildings were voted as the schools grew, and a "greater Citadel" should not be cramped at the very outset. _ | Mr. Mims, of Edgefield, one of the joint authors of the bill, pointed out the cramped condition of the present institution. Last fall more than 100 , boys were turned away, he said, and .1 - , o , I now tnree ana iour ooys were occu-, pying one room. The lot on which the present buildings stood w^is only. 140 by 640 feet, and the Citadel Square, used as a drill field, was not the property of the institution, and its use by the institution could be discontinued at any time. > Mr. Lide of Marion, argued earnestly for the passage of the bill as it was reported by the committee. \ This was no time for captious criticism, the Marion County representative pointed out. Mr. Kelley of Anderson, thought the piece of property offered by Charleston as a site would in itself prove a valuable investment for the State. The bill was then sent to third reading by a vote of 98 to 7, those I voting against the bill being: Bramlett, Dreher, Etheredge, Harman, Orr, Owens and Smoak.

The Spies Sent Out (13:17-20). ^ Loss than two years have passed 1 since the Israelites were delivered from Egyptian bondage. They are now at Kadesh-Bnrnea, within sight of the promised land. Moses urges them to go in and take Immediate possession (Deut. 1:21) but they fail because of their unbelief (Heb. 3:19). There was a threefold purpose in sending out the spies: (1) to see whether the land was as God had told them (v. 18); (2) to see whether the people who dwelt there were strong or weak, few or many (v. 18); (3) to see whether the cities were made up of strongholds or tents (v. 19). What folly! If God has spoken, to question his word is simply unbelief. II. The Commission Executed (13: 21-25). They entered the land from the south and traversed it to Its northern limits. They spent forty days in this investigating exploration. It Is a sad comment upon human nature when men must spend forty days In finding out the truthfulness of God's word. On their return from the north they gathered some specimens of the fruit of the land. Two of them, perhaps Caleb and Joshua, bore a cluster of grapes upon a staff between them a9 a witness that God had spoken, the truth about the land. III. The Spies Rendered a Report (13:26-33). On their return this committee of explorers rendered a report to the whole congregation. It was not unanimous: 1. The majority report (w. 26-29. (II The land floweth with milk and I honey (v. 27). As a proof of It they exhibited the fruit. They all bore witness that this was In accordance with what God had said. (2) "The people who live there are strong" (v. | 28). They seemed to stress this fact I Unbelief dwells mainly upon difficul- | ties. (3) "The people live in walled j cities" (v. 28). They argued that It j was Impossible to capture them In uch sure defenses. (4) "The land was Inhabited by giants" (v. 28 cf v. 33). They saw themselves as grasshoppers. Furthermore, they saw the people so distributed?the Amalekltes I In the south country, the Hlttltes. Jeb- I usltes and Amorites In the mountains and the Canaanites along the sea? that It was impossible to take them. This, no doubt, seemed reasonable from the human side, but they displayed j their folly In that they left God out of the question. The same God who said to them, "Go, possess the land," would go along to fight the battles. 2. The minority report (tv. 30-33). In part, this report agrees with the first; It does not ignore the difflcultie*, nor dispute the facts. It denies the conclusion of the majority. They did not minimize the task before them, but asserted that witn nod's neip tney | were well able to get possession of the ! land, and urged Immediate action. The ten had their eyes on the difficulties, but Caleb and Joshua fixed their eyes, upon God. Caleb lived to see his suggestion made real. The decisions of the majority are not always right. Just two men against the many thousands, but the thousands were wrong and the two were right. It Is not always true that the "voice of the people is the voice of God." IV. The Rebellion of the People | l4:l-:iS). This rebellion began by crying. Having left God out of the question they now weep and howl. This weiring and howling was followed by murmuring against Moses and Aaron. They even wished that they had died in the wilderness or in Kgypt. God took them at their word; lie sent them i am In f K a it'ildnrnocc f lllll'K UJ vtuiiwri in mr iiiniiriur .... thirty-eight years, during which time they all died except Caleb and Joshua. ! This was followed by a proposition to organize for the return to Eg.Tpt. They proposed to select a captain as rheir leader. The protest of Joshua and Caleb against this resulted in the i| proposition to stone them. At this point God Interposed in their behalf, lie manifested his glory before all the j children of Israel in vindication of the j loyalty of Joshua and Caleb. Holding the Trenches. Even the really rfc'voted man may find It difficult to hold the Lord'* trenches without fighting the devil's gas. Thoughts.
