Un der his leadership a chairman, with a pastor associate and an alumnagf associate, will be selected in each of the twelve church conferences in the state and similar leaders will be chosen for groups of churches and individual churches within the conferences. A separate organization will be formed for a campaign among the citizens of Greenwood. Mr. Creighton is owner of the Anderson Lumber Company, An derson, and previously was in busi ness in Rock Hill and Anderson. He is a member of the board of stewards of St. John’s Church, Anderson. He was a member of St. John’s Church, Rock Hill, when Dr. Speake served it as pastor and was chairman of the building commit tee which erected the present structure there. He married a Lan der graduate, the former Miss Bet- tie Lawson, of Darlington. | In announcing Mr. Creighton’s acceptance of the chairmanship. Dr. Speake said: “I feel Mr. Creigh ton is especially fitted for this task. 11 have worked with him and know his ability as an organizer and his capacity for getting things done. He is a tireless- worker and will never be satisfied with anything short of complete success.” Mr. Creighton said he was ac cepting the chairmanship of the campaign because “I regard this call as an opportunity to serve my church and the people of my state in one of the highest ways possible. From experience I know that the Lander graduate is a girl equipped for the responsibilities of life an 4 imbued with the spirit of service. The sound fundamentals of schol arship and character laid down by Dr. Lander still are the marks of the typical Lander girl. "I urge the cooperation of all members of the Methodist Church, South, in this state, the alumnae of the college and others interest ed in Christian education in work ing toward the success of this movement.”
