No Association can go to Laurels because it happens to bo-large1 and feel that it is going to walk away with the honors any more than Primo Camera could walk away from Joe Louis because he happen ed to be Jthe larger. The Association reporting iO0 percent w*dl be designated the leading Association in the Sthte and its Moderator will be crowned the State's King of Moderators* an honor well worth covet np. The writer happdns to be a Moderator and here | serves notice on all Moderators I that he will be in the running and aims to wm if possinie. Kealy he wants to be the King Moderator Orv- 109fi 1 VI 1 vuv. For several years we have heard certain Moderator and Associations praised as the greatest in South Carolina, but there has been no way until now to accurateul decide this much debated question. At - Laurens" however, the tale will be told not by big speeches or by - the number of ioh but by the number reporting in the Convention. "By their fruits ye shall know them." For the information of some who have asked me and some who may not know we are publishing the causes for which, the Convention is asking ten thousand dollars in Laurens. Fifty percent will be Benedict College; twenty-five percent for the expenses of the Convention; two and a half percent for Foreign Missions; two and a half percent for State Missions; five percent for aged ministers; and five percent for miscellaneous items. Within a few weeks we are'mailing: Associational report blanks to all Moderators as all reports must be made this year througih Associations. 'We arc therefore asking all Moderators to call their pa,v .ors together and urge them to be ready to make, their reports early on the first day of the meeting n order to read the Association's report immediately after the introduction sermon Wednesday norning. No one but Life members will be eligible to vote until these roports have been made and certified by the Finance Committee. And say Brother Moderator and Pastor are you a life member of the Convention? No one but life members can legally 'hold 6ifiei in the Convention. There are certain privileges enjoyed, by life members that no one else can enioy. If you can possibly spare $5.00 join as a Lite Member iri this Convention because when the 'search light "has been turned on the fee is'going up. Join this year if possible. A special drive for Life Members is on ?his year arid this may be the last year you can join at this price. The meeting at Laurens nrom. ises to be, an,epochal one. Some things will be said there you should hear.?Some" thing" win in done there you should have a part in. We are going to make history this ylar. Be one of the five hundred brethren to be seen there at one time. For further information write Dr. H. JI. Butler, Hartsvilli-, S. C. or G. Goings Daniels Georgetown, S. C.
