He has certainly stood by our Missionary and"Educational program both therhood should feel highly honorpd Arith such leadership. I thii% it's time for the Baptist of S. C. to stop fighting for office and, fight to save Morris College. I think further that this is no time for political tricks to be worked in our convention. I think that every man will go to the convention and stand in his own shoes ond play the part of a man not to be bought by any one.
