He had been assistant pastor there for 10 fears, had been tutored by one of the empire’s meat renowned clergymen, but, at 31, be had a feeling of awe in filling the pulpit of his reaowmad predecessor. But his teacher said he had Itoe makings of a great preacher snd the conereestion wanted him. ''None knew bettur than young Samuel Stennett that he had a high standard to uphold. His fa ther was a great minister and his father's fa ther had been one of England's foremost minis ters and hymn writers. It was, in fact, Samuel Stennett s grandfather who had a profound in fluence on the famous Dr. Isaac Watts in his rerolutlon of church singing. The Rev. Joseph Stennett would have been proud of his son Samuel. Five years after taking over the pulpit at Little Wild Street, Samuel’s reputation had spread over the empire and the University of Aberdeen conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Famous Reformer Thomas Howard sat i.n his congregation and Majestic Sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour’s brow; His head with radiant glories crowned. His lips with grace o'erflow. No mortal can with Him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair Who fill the heavenly train. showered praise on his sermons mad King George III was one of his many admirers. Offers of promotions came but the congrecatkm would not let the preacher go.

Joseph Stennett Meed ne would have had reason to be proud •( his non. For it was he who had given him that 10 years’ tutor ing at Little Wild Street. It was hs who had recommended bis son to taka his place and it was he who had stepped down to giro Samuel a chance. And Joseph Stennett wonld have been Indeed proud to see his son smrpasa his noted grandfather as & hymn-writer. Thirty-nine of Samuel Stennett's hymns were included in Dr. John Rlppon's celebrated “Collection’* of 1789. Two of that number are still found in nearly every hymnal. Everybody knows the one that be gins, "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye to Canaan’s fair and happy land where my possessions lie.” The other one Is said to be Samuel Sennett’a beat: He saw me plunged In deep dlstrsse. And flew to my relief; For ms Hs bore the shameful oroea, And oarried all my grief. j To Him I ows my life and breath, | And all the Joys I have; Ho makes mo triumph over death, And saves ms from the grave.

King threw 13 yards to End Joe Bowen for the Tigers’ second TD, and Bussey threw a 20-yarder to End Walt Laraway for the fourth , one. Hal:back Joe Gagliei, who looked | good in spots, ran 27 yards for Clemson’s first score. Lem McLen don, who’d ne\er before scored in a regulation football game, did it on a 34-yard sprint for Clemson’s third TD in the first period. Fullback Bill O'Dell battered his way 17 yards for the Last one, King kicked two extra points and Bussey added the other. .Despite the one-sided look of "the score, the Blue Hose outgained the Tigers on the ground 217 yards to 163, but Clemson had the edge in passing, 123 yards to 17. King looked the best of the Tifer quar terbacks. He ran the option pitch- ! out exceptionally well against the Hose, who used all sort of defens es successfully to confuse the Tig- i ers The Tigers started out as if they were going to nm away with the game in that opening quarter, but the Blue Hose of Coach Bill Crutchfield steadied and made it a 'battle.
