C, Thursday, October 20, 1949 Number 40 SIX-INCH SERMON By Rev. Robert H. Harper GOD AND THE NATIONS Lesson for October 23: Isaiah 1: 21-28; 19:19-25. Memory Selection: Isaiah 45:22. There is a “philosophy of history.” In the present lesson we learn that God is in history to make it carry out his will for the nations. In the text we read first of a city turned from God into all wicked ness, but the redemption of it through the power of Jehovah was promised. And there is hope of any city of the present if its rulers and its people will exalt the Lord. The prediction concerning Egypt and Assyria was remarkable. The two nations that had trampled upon the Israelites would be joined under the Lord. The prophecy was fulfil led -when many Jews settled in Eg ypt and a temple was built in that country. Later Alexandria became a cerv ter of Christian culture, while at the present many Christians are found in Egypt and also in the for mer habitat of the Assyrians. Let us hope that these three countries named in the prophecy—Assyria, Egypt and Palestine—may one day be united in the Christian faith. Note the place of the highway in the prophecy. The highway has ev er been a link of union between peo ples. Think of its importance in our jnodern life,’with all the means of travel and transportation of the present—by land, on the sea, and in the air. But ease of travel alone cannot bring nations together. Only spirit ual forces can do that. Let governments, as well as indi viduals, turn to God if civilization is to be saved and the atom bomb cast into the discard, with all the things that have separated men and nations.

ALUMNI SALUTE McMILLIAN AND JOHNSON Homecoming, and Clinton join in saluting Presbyterian colleges most famous teacher-pupil combination—Athletic Director Walter A. Johnson and Head Coach Lonnie S. McMillian. These two loyal Blue Stocking sportsmen are serving their 35th year with P. C. athletics. When Johnson started his duties as Presbyterian coach in 1915. an eager freshman reported who was destined to blaze across the record of P. C. greats. That green first-year man was McMillian. Coach Johnson, 22 then, played in practice with his small squad. His pupil, McMillian, learned well, gained collegiate fame and later joined the Hose coaching staff. Twenty-five years after first reporting to practice, Lonnie Mac became head footall coach to take up the successful mantle of Johnson, who stepper, up as athletic director.

He stands as one of the school’s all-time greats as a student parti cipant. And since that time, Lon nie Mac has coached winning Blue Stocking teams in every season. Basketball, track, freshman foot ball and even a touch of freshman baseball received his cagey attention before he took over the reins as' head man on the Presbyterian grid- 1 iron. And even now, with a full pig- 1 skin load, McMillian still finds time to point up the finer methods in basketball and track. McMillian installed the wide-open deceptive T-formation immediately upon becomieg head football coach in 1941. The Hosemen thus became the first grid outfit in the Southeast to expound a system now used by most t’ams throughout the country. Blue Stocking athletic opponents trot on every field with a healthy respect for the silent mentor. They find his teams well versed, in funda mentals, tricky and ready to battle to the closing whistle. Records tell some of the story. Mc- Millian-coached football teams have won 36 games over a tough schedule route since 1941. They have con sistently walked away with the cov eted Little Four Crown. The 1941 squad also won championships of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the South Atlantic Conference. Lonnie Mac’s best record »went into the books in 1946, when a season count of seven wins and two losses gained the Little Four and North State Conference football titles. P. C. Quarterback Hank Caver passed his way to Little All-Amer ican honors that year. He joined End Jack Adams as the two Presby terian gridmen coached to Little All- American fame by McMillian over a period of a few years. His track and basketball teams also Rave consistently finished high in South Carolina comoetition. Only last year the cindermen dashed off with se-ond place in the state meet. McMillian, a native of Prescott, Ark., played end on the first P. C. team coached by Walter Johnson in 1915. He played it so well he was named All-state three years run ning, in addition to getting high rec ognition in other sports. Graduation came in 1921, after an interruption for Navy service in World War I. And here’s what the year book had to say the year he left: VGaze, O gentle reader, upon Cap tain McMillian, better known as ‘Pistol Ball’. Lonnie hails from Ark ansas and has played four years for P. C., giving hec his best. In action l^e wins the admiration of friends and foe alike and strikes terror into the hearts of those against him. There never faced him a man large enough to scare him and his motto, ‘The big ger they are the harder they fall,’ works wonderfully.” Then he is likely to step into Mrs Mac.’s kitchen and hustle up a few of his recipes. For the Blue Stocking persdnification of manliness also gets a large boot out of cooking. His-fav orite dishes—chow mein and spag hetti. FOR OFFICE SUPPLIES CALL 74 WALTER A. JOHNSON The name of Walter A. Johnson is synonymous with Presbyterian Col lege athletics. To him goes most of the credit for developing the Blue Stockmg athletic plant, rated as one of the best among the nation’s smaller colleges. Linked inseparably with Johnson also is the fabulous “P. C. Spirit”— a combination of fair play and figh* that has seeped over the sports arena and into the fiber of every student. Johnson — affectionately termed the “Genial Swede”—wasj 1 long con sidered the dean of Southern coach es, until he left for war service in 1941. He returned to Presbyterian in 1946 to become Director of Ath letics and Physical Training. . Over the long span of years he coached, Johnson built up a ^vlde reputation for his ability and sport- manship. Sports writers and oppon ents alike honor him. And many Homecoming alumni return primar ily t'' renew friendship with the gen ial athletic director they call “Coach.” Johnson, a native of Milwaukee. Wis., began his coaching duties at P. C. in August, 1915. In the 25 ac tive coaching years that followed, his athlet’c teams compiled enviable records in every sport. He piloted his football teams to 103 victories, 96 defeats and 19 ties along a schedule front that included such giants as Duke. Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Clemson and the Un iversity of South Caro’ina. Stimulated by Johnson’s enthusi asm for athletics, Presbyterian’s sports facilities developed from bare, unfenced fields to the present plant. Leroy Springs gymnasium wont up in 1924. The state”s first floodlight ed football tield and outdoor track— scene of the annual state cinder meet —were added shortly thereafter. Then came South Carolina’s first college indoor swimming pool and Young baseball field. Coach Johnson realized his fondest tribute in September, 1940, when Clemson joined P. C. in honoring a great sportsman. The Tigers came to Clinton for the annual football game, the first meeting of the two teams on P. C. soil. And 7,000 fans jammed the stadium to jgin cere monies dedicated to the' “Genial Swede.” Tears filled his eyes as leaders of state and players alike paid tribute. Johnson answered in typical simpli city: “Folks, I appreciate this.” And after the season closed, the dean of southern coaches stepped down to go to war.
