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.

CLINTON, P. C. 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. '* *

LONNIE S. McMILLIAN
Coach Lonnie S. Millian is P. C. >
jaek-of-all-trades.
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.

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.
