Scouts of Troop No. 3 were all as sembled at the Methodist church for sn overnight hike to Duncan’s Creek. About 20 boys were present The hike was led by Mr. Lonnie McMillian, Scoutmaster, and Mr. Matthew Lynn, A. S. M. The boys arrived about 5:00 o’clock and began making camp. After camp was put in order most of the boys went down to the creek and went in swimming, while others fished. Some of the boys caught a few fish about three inches long and also a few smaller ones. After swimming and fishing for about an hour we went back to camp and cooked supper. When supper was over some of the boys decided that they wanted a few more fish so they went back to the creek to catch them. They never had any luck this time. Boxing, racing and other sports were played until dark. A large camp-fire was built about which games and other amusements were played. Scouts were detailed for turns at guarding the camp and replenishing the camp-fire. All of the boys except the guards went to ,bed at 9:00 o’clock. At 11 o’clock it started raining and* as we didn’t bring our tent we decid ed to break camp and leave for town. After hiking for 3 1-2 miles Mine of the boys got Mr. McMillian’s car, while the others were given a lift by someone in an automobile. Ev$n though our overnight hike was to some extent spoiled by the rain, every Scout had a good time. GEORGE MOORE, Scribe.

Diplomas Awarded At College Commencement (Continued from Page One) In closing, Mr. Fulton asked the young graduates, “What will you do with your lives?” Will you heed the call of pleasure, of popularity, of power, of wealth, or will you catch Paul’s vision and hear another voice calling above all others to “follow me.” Seek to lay hold, let your con suming ambition be to discharge Christ’s purpose in your life. No life can reach its highest possibilities without coming in complete accord with the divine will, he said. God has opened the way to success for you young men of the graduating class if you will obey and follow His signals. * In the evening the annual sermon before the Young Men’s Christian As sociation was preached by the Rev. Ellis A. Fuller, pastor of the Earle Street Baptist chprch of Greenville, and also an alumnus of the college. “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ,” was selected by Mr. Fuller as the text for his sermon which was an impressive message and made a profound impression upon the large congregation. Mr. Fuller said that Christ is the central thought with thinking men to day, and he quoted from several great world leaders who hold the Christian religion up as the only sal vation for the ilia of the earth. He toll the members of the student body that the quesion of dealing with Christ is one of supreme importance and that if they bow to the beliefs and teachings of some of the present day so-called scholars end attempt to minimise Christ, then the Word of God and all else must go. What you do with Christ determines everything, he said, for the religion of Jesus is the only religion that is worth while. Continuing, the speaker said that every man believes something, add that to believe in Christ and know Him must come through Faith. In no other way can it come. The hu man heart demands faith, not reason, and what we do with Christ, whether we enthrone Him in our lives and make him supreme, decides our des tiny. His address was a challenge to the young men to enthrone Christ, to make him tha controlling forre in their lives.
