STRONG ADDRESS TO SYNOD ON
"CHRISTIAN EDUCATION."
Dr. J. H. Wilson Eloquently Reviews j
Educational Activities of the j
Synod.
"Christian Education" was the sub-1
ject of a strong address by the Rev.
J. H. Wilson* D. D., of Orangeburg,
before the Lutheran Synod of South
nn?rtUno Tnp?Hav nierht. Dr. Wilson
V> CL1 Viiuu vii A M w ?
is a graduate of Newberry college in
th? class of 1877, and was for several
year? president of synod. During the 1
course of his address he paid a magnificent
tribute to the work of Newberry
college and made an eloquent
>lea for entirely adequate support of
the college. He also uttered a prayer
' for the prosperity of the new Lutheran
girls' college at Summerland.
"It is the; duty, as it is the interest,
ef the State, to educate her youth forj
the best citizenship," he said. "Already!
t?his country is the marvel, if not the j
envy, cf the nations. With the same j
T\rrt-micoc in onr>tV>pr half I'
U51 7^11X2 ^/iviuwvo x** ?v%? j
century to lead the world irr educational
facilities and achievements. But
> head and hand can never bring a nation
to the highest goal. Never mind
who said, There is nothing great in
man but mind/ Heart is character,
and character is destiny. Head and
band are servants of the heart?its
bodyguard." His plea was for Christion
education. "This is the motive,
the plea, of the church school: to
provide and perpetuate the Christian
principle in our civilization. The
church school will abide and grow in
potency as long as the church is true
to her duty to give the bread of life
to her children. Waste no tears over
the fate of the. church school. Lend
a hand to help work the proper destiny
of Church and State.
"The record of the South Carolina
Synod's activity in the field of Christian
education is one of almost unparalleled
faith and devotion. Her latest
endeavor is the foundiDg of a school
for the higher education of her daughters.
The recent opening oK Summerland
college, is reported as most auspicious
and augurs well for7^ future.
We hope the whole Synod may come to
full consciousness of this open door
of service; and we pray the> great
Head of the Church may prosper this
institution."
"The South Carolina Synod was organized
in 1824. Five years later she
set for herself a task which sounds
almost like fiction?1,444 communi^
eants undertook to establish and maintain
a theological seminary. The seminary
became a fact, with a classical
school added. For thirty years this
school gave helpful education to many
young men and trained 51 recruits
for the Lutheran ministry. They were
mighty men of war?instant in season
and out of season.. Bachman planted,
\ Hazelius and his colleagues cultivated,
^ Henry Muller and others nourished,
Fand God blessed this vine and made
its branches fruitful.
; "In 1856 the Synod expanded the
classical school into a chartered college,
and moved both institutions to
Newberry.
"In 1860 the South Carolina Synod
was operating a theological seminary
"with assets of $27,340.31, and a college
with assets, of $68,770?4,056 communicants
provided for the two schools
assets aggregating $96,110.31, "above j
all indebtedness." The church was i
happy and prosperous and hopeful, j
tjeiore i-H'C j tsti ts lepun ?<U5
made, 1861, the whol^ country was
overspread by a cloud of darkness that
could be felt This closed the seminary.
When there was a rift in the
cloud, in 1865, it was found that Mr.
Jacob Schirmer, of Charleston, had
.saved about $18,000 of the seminary's
assets- To this, certain sums have
been added. Last year's report showed
$23,750.77. From the income of j.
i
this, the sum of $600 is paid annually I
toward the expenses of the United Sv- .
nod seminary at Columbia, the balance
to Newberry college. .besides mis, me |.
South Carolina Synod pays its pro
rata share of the seminary's expenses.
In reality, this is the same seminary ,
that was founded by the South Caro- .
iina Synod in 1829. After many vicissitudes
of varying success, it has been
committed to the United Synod that its
life may be enlarged and its usefulness
extended.
"What of the College V*
"From the tocsin of '61 to the taps
of '65, every youth above the age of
IS years had joined the army. During
thpsp wars. Prof. Smeltzer was
the chief guide and stay of the college,
then a mere school for boys.
They waited with weary hearts, hoping
for the war to close: In '65, her
friends renewed their covenant, and
locked to God for guidance and
strength, and bread. In 'b'6 the board ,
elected a faculty, with Rev. J. P. i
Smeltzer president. It took until 1868 f
to get a full inventory of the wreckage,
and find that only a few hundred
books were left the college, and that
she had nowhere to put them, nor tos
shelter a faculty. Storm-tossed and
weatherbeaten, she found a quiet haven,
under the Blue Ridge, in the hospitable
town of Walhalla.
"But the sky was now overcast with
clouds that threatened disaster from
'financial distress. The storm was
fierce. But Josiah Smeltzer was at
the helm, and no lightning fla6h, nor
i
thunder sound, nor roar of breaker,
'would shake his grasp. Any one can
drift with the current, but to standi
against such a tide one must believe
in himself as well as trust God. He
would not give up the ship. There are ,
those here who know that his eloquence
as a preacher could have plac
ed him where he would have escaped i
drudgery. That's the word. The
drudging of Josiah Smeltzer preserved
the college from '61 to '77. -Smeltzer
baked bread for the public in NeW- j
berry and ran a boarding house and i
truck farm in Walhalla that Newberry
college might live,
"In 1S7S, Newberry college had a
president, a professor of mathematics. I
who also taught Latin and Greek, and j
a principal of the preparatory department.
The pastor of St. John's church
met classes in German, certain hours
each week. The ^iext year the board
sent us a professor of ancient languages?two
professors and a president,
that is the highest equipment
the college had from '65 to '77.
"But, listen; those are the days, and
that is the equipment, that produced j
the Houseals, S. T. Hallman, C. P.'
Boozer, the Bu^bys, the Win gar ds,j
Rahn, Hughes, J. B. O'Neall Holloway, \
Cromer. Efird and some more. These
are a challenge to the enlarged equip- J
ment of today. ' 1
"In 1877, 16 years after the storm !
burst upon the college in her happy j
and prosperous home. in '61, two light ;
wagon loads carried her assets to the
Walhalla depot, on her return to Newberry.
Here, friends had bought back
for her a part of the land she had owned,
and built on a part of the still remaining
granite foundation of her first
home what is now known as Smeltztv
t? *
na.ii.
"In the life of Newberry college a
potent factor has aJw&ys been the
love and generosity of'Newberry's citizens.
I like to hear you say, "Our
college." The college now could say,
'"Home again!" The heart of the
church was thrilled.
"Let no man think all jvas smooth
sailing from that day. She had. a
' home, but no money, and few students.
"Interest in educating boys was not as
great then as now. Besides, the storm
that swept Newberry's possessions
away, carried also the fortunes of her

recovered by them, and none had come
yet to the college. But the college was
near the heart of those who had a
clear vision of her future service, and
they never faltered.
"The rank and file make , up ths
army, and they face the grape and canister.
But as brick and mortar without
an architect, 60 rank and file without a
leader, serve little purpose.
"God gave us a leader?a man of
culture and dignity, with capacity, to
draw men to him for the Master's

forces, assimilate elements, and produce
results without apparent effort
George V,". Holland was to Newberry
collego the embodiment of the blessing
his latest words prayed God to send
upon her.
"I believe the greatest single line of
blessings to Newberry since '65 has
been in the five great men wrho have 1
succssively been her presidents.
"When the work of rehabilitating ^
Newberrv college began in 1877, the
South Carolina Synod reported 5,065 j
communicants. Last year, 1911, the _
report shows 10,599. Add the Georgia
Synod, and you have a constituency of
less than 15,000.
"Today, after 35 years, Newberry t
college has assets in land, buildings, ]
equipment and endowment aggregat- c
ing $200,000; 10,000 volumes in her r
library, 14 instructors, and 230 stu- ,
dents on the. ground. j
"T.et. us thank God, take courage,
and be ready to provide every need. -j
"I hope I may not see the day when
Newberry college does not need more."

Nelson, of the Cleveland Leader, "how j

No! It was like this: I

to practice the deep-sea method cf immersion
with the aid of a washtub.
