Montreat, N. C., Sept. 27.-One i
the most unique and generous ac -

son. Mr. Williamson donates th
entire cost of this building, whic!
will be erected on one of the moi
beautiful lots in Montreat, located O'
the terrace just above the Christin
Workers' Home, overlooking th
lake, auditorium, hotels and th
beautiful valley to the south. Th.
building ls designed especially for
the benefit of the old ministers, but
will be opened for the use of other
ministers in the synod of South Caro
lina so long as there ls room.
In giving this building Mr. Wil
liamson is not only making a hand
some donation for the benefit of tho
old ministers of the Synod of South
Carolina, but he is also setting a
good example for the other synods.
The association has received beau

sembly.
lt ls to he regretted that so many
ministers are not able to take a
much needed vacation because of
small salary and limited means; es
pecially is tli Li true of the older min
isters, who are unable to meet the
demands of the arduous work of the
larger churches.
Mr. Williamson has made a na
tional reputation as a corn grower,
and in other ways has been of most
valuable service to his State. In this
generous acl of erecting a handsome

ol* the old ministers of bis synod ne
is showing both a keen insight into
the needs of the ministers and a most
generous and willing spirit to meet
these needs.
