' *: ?Jsmjl. J ' ^ ' ~ * . "The Old Gray" And The New Rider BY E. blllLlP ELLIS A New Leaf Turned Over * It would not have taken an expert to see that retrenchment was absolutely necessary in our educational affairs in this state when startlhur surprises Were sprung at the.trustee board meeting here hist week. Had the Bishop Noah W.- Williams' program been carried out years ago in this state, by this time our school would have been almost self supporting. But in keeping with otn yeaely custom, every commencement we elected a large faculty with an increase salary and not one time stop ??t?r- think?of - where?in - thir?world yumiirg from. . It remained fur Doctor Noah W- Williams to be elected bishop and come to South Carolina and change the order of things. thereby- saving?the situation. Every body can plainly see the wisdom in Bishop Williams suggestion in deifering the election of faculty. What sane person would take over any great business concern without first taking stock. No doUgt but. that others did so in the past, and that accounts very ' largely for our pre-,. sent condition. All we could heai about Allen was, "We must raise i~* more moifcjy." That may be true still, but there is "one tiling certain. Bishop Williams methods will have the money raised for Alleh go to AJlcn. "\It is plainly shown that .We con save more money around Allen CoTlege. It cap.be done and then . ... the teachers can be paid salaries t'ommwiserate with services render ed. We must turn over a new leal bi' close up .-shop. - j A Business .Manager If such an o ce . has ever been needed any where in the world it is in Allen at Columbia. Before discrediting this statement, go there and' investigate. Talk with students and employee's JnSlueling beneficiaries. Read carefully the president's report. Then make your own ele? pinion. Li^ not enough to create the office but fill it with an expert in this line .of business, like ea'p ?taip'Ahram Simpson. As a rule the first thing bishops ele> is pejt th.eii - 11 IL IlllJ tii nviiuwn _?_ agents to spend money. But Bish up Williams first step was to put a business expert in the school to. * save money.?Mark ?the?school finances have not been handled b,\ thieves is why we need a business manager-, hut hct'iuisc every preaclu-i-. professor- or teacher is not an expert wheh it comes to the businesshandling ot money. A~n7! ah holiest -mistake- is a mistake -just 'the 1 same and has equal effect. If our loss is because of unbusiness like methods the deplorable results are the same. I am with the bishop 100 per cent L. Before raising one dime more foi education, institute a business system first, then lets go from here Putting over big programs is a com1 mtm-thing- with Bishop?Noah W. Williams, lie has pastured the largest church in the connection and has put over the biggest financial programs. Thats why he was elected bishop. And this state will soon find that it has one of the best ~ bishops in the A. ^1?fch-fcHutreh- Botlv mill lav will find in him ~-\ | r-*rK == hup and with his program.

The SllKlPPf HoiMVorl F Vi /-. tovt uroe 'The offence of The Cross," which Lht pastor developed beautifully. lie showed us the ways by which we have he offences of the Cross; and why ve have them. Among the many reasons he gave ire: Because, aThe Cross of Christ is :he> condemnation of. the World, The Dross of Christ is an offence because t sets fprth an imperative ideal of liTc, 1'he Cross-of .Christ is an offence because it claims to be the power of jod unto salvation. ' The pastor end- " cd?his?message?br?asking?mid an- ~ ?weiing the question: When does the iffence of the cross cease? His Answer was, that it ceased only when :he soul is visited not merely by remorse* "but but; repentance towards Hod, issuing into a faith in Christ lesus who died to reconcile us to Dod. ^Vhen this is done, the cross becomes' man's only hope and glory.
