Saturday, July 2, 193ft Historical Se< Peak Events, A SURVEY OF FORCES A WORK IN THE BAPTIST S. I & B. Y. P. U. CONVENTIOl OF SOUTH CAROLINA FROI 1906?1938 fey DYNAMO CAMPBELL -? Dean of The School of Mcfrod? An evolution and a revolutio has been at work since that lovel May day in 1906, when Rev. I 11 J i-l- - - - A v/aiiuu muveu tiie organization c the S. S. and B. Y. P, U. workei into a separate organization froi the Educational and Missionat Convention of South Carolina. This was at St. Paul -Churcl Anderson, and the present write - i? pastor of this church ..and adv< cates the complete separation c these two conventions. I admit anr~a reVOlutlonisr. nnrl hntn phi "toms which have fulfilled the purpose;.?Onward,?outward,?fen ward, planning your work, pushin your plans, and pepping your pus is the philosophy of .Dynamo Cam tary. What I advocate is nothir new. It was in the blood streai of the founders. - Evolutionary Forces At Work The preseht program is t h fruits of the nebulous conceptior * of 1906. Rev. Wm. Howard i 1907 said in his first address r ~ Corresponding Secretary, "L< the work be taken up in one coui ty at a time. Find all the S. ! workers in a county, meet them i some central place, and carry oi possible instruction in S. S. work He contemplated monthly doni tions sent in when he said, "\\ can then establish a system of co respondence by which regular a] peals can be made for the work ? President Moore saw the nee but no remedy was suggested.;?" school of methods is seen whei he says, "S. S. Superintenden and teachers from every part < the state ought be brought tog.etl er for an exchange of ideas coi cerning the work of the Sunds SchooJ." , President Moore, cante plated graded Sunday School when he said, "The work will nev< rise out of the olc}_rUt in which hnq rem tfaJpng* decad' unless it is nrtperly graded, h Sunday SchocrKcan hope to reat the best possible results whoi teachers fail to come together f< study." In 1811 he said, "Yc ought to have come for a lesso which you can carry back to tho! who have given ybu the trip." The need for a full time pa worker is seen in the 1911 repo of Rev. W. M. Howard. Oppositic on the field was greater than no\ Training courses were urged t President Moore in 1914, but r action was taken. The Conventic studying methods is seen in tl setting' up of. the District missioi ary Department n 1915. The 'm?< for supervision was pointed out : - 1918. Teachers training class* were advocated in the board's re __ ?mmpm]ptjQP of 101ft?Xha givir of rewards is urged in this san nepert. More instryct[on on tl ?annual program"waif pleaded f* in the President's address in 192 lectures on the Bible are t h Clinics were urged by he Pies dent in 1921, when he urged tl fixing of place and time by tl district Missionaries for the con ing of the Corresponding Seer tary to which place S. S. and B. 1 P. U. workers, would be called f< instruction. Hp thought of t.h seven years before he recommem ed it. Monthly - reports from the D1 trict Missionaries to the vCorre ponding Secretary was recommer ed by the President in 1923. Tl Departmental group system wi set up in 1923 to work one hou The leaders were uninstructed, ui directedt and in most cases linpn Dared. This is the idea out o which Dynamo Campbell developc the present School of Methods. The most outstanding1 develo] ments of President Moore's admii istration were: 1. The organizi tion Of the convention. 2. The e: tension of its influence. 3. T1 inauguration of the District Mi; sionary system. 4. The inaugun tion of the group system. 5. TV conception of training courses. The clinical conception. 7. Monti ly contribution idea. 8. The yea ly project idea for Morris Colleg funds. 9. Clope^ c_o_op.eration other-denominational- agencies. A of these ideas were only partiall carried out due to conflicting opii ions, lack of vision and petty jea ousies. Contributions of The J. C. White Administration. In 1926 an enlargement campaig was advocated through competer field work. Beneficiary system w? inaugurated. Boy Scouts, Cadet and Camp Fire Girls organizatior were advocated! Doorways we? made higher. District Missiona: ICO aujJCl VIOIUH **?o unv?\ the president. Board member! transportation became an roc pen? item of the convention. Nothin was done to improve the prnou system. In 1927 the presider toured the state and received fir! hand information on the conditio of affairs. State missions wci defined. A state-wide School r Methods was-advocated but noti ing was done to set it up. Vac* tion Bible schools were suggeste and were to be directed by t h Corresponding Secretary. Minis ters Seminar*, Deacons Institute and County wide schools of Metl ods were proposed, S. S. and B. 1 U. banners were proposed. TH revival of the State Miaaion boar * \ , . ?.. " :tion~ Mountain 1906-1938 Tjvvas suggested. Mission money 3. senb to the convention was approvV ed to be sent to the Corresponding d Secretary. Board members expenses were to be approved only after ; "betng submitted and item|zed. Iti 1928 no progressive plans-- were ' presented. This may be styled as a year of lethargy and inactivity. 11 In 1929 rural school improvey ments were set up as an objective Adequate pay for a Corresponding ** Secretary was proposed. A sum8 mer school for pastors was sug11 nested to be held at Benedict and y Mori is Colleges. (This is now being done after nine years~of delay) -? The School and Union was apJr proved as the Convention's mouthpiece. Groups were still . impropj erly organized. Doorway fees for * District Conventiona weiu UTrtorgTi Annual membership Tees 'r were raised to $8.00. :? ^ The. J. C. White's administration concerned itself chiefly with l" program expansion and as a whole P was progressive. It marked the a turning period in leadership train18 ing. program contents, and field m administrations. * The C. F. Gandy Administration 1980 introduced in South Caroe lina &. S. and B. Y. P.

When in truth it was j only a new program content wit! !je new objectives struggling in the 1P womb of the convention for t ^""chance to be born. e" 1933 can, be justly called the year of the rebirth of the convem ?r tion. Much unrest was going or led by L. B. Brooks. Dynamo Camy bell, G. G. Daniels, A. M. Means M. M.- Peace and others. Definite s" program content changes tool s" place when G. G. Daniels, J.

Campbel p* were put in charge of "field work * Thp School /rf Methods was th< 'd burden of Rev. Gandy's heart This session was one of bittei 3" struggles between the old and new rl" program advocates. County meeta" ings for instructors were suggested. The eniollincrrt campaign .gof ie up full steam. Many new feature? R" were presented. A Leadership trair a" inpr group was organized by S. C 'e Campbell with 2 members. This " opens the new program of leader1_ ship training and the present r" Schoolof Methods. 'e 1934 introduced the-- present pre -h gram..with the election of Dynamr " t'amphell as Corresponding Secre'y tary. G. G. Daniels rendered val1" uahle assistance in getting the low I" er state to line up. A new pro, gram of training, contact tours, 8 group meetings, institutions and the long- wanted school of methods 'n was organized in 1934. Dr. Gandji ^ is the Father of the School o 1 18 Methods, S.

A new Constitution was e adopted. The workers were selected. Training courses were approver ed. Certificates were issued. The i- Southern Baptist and National Sun r. day School courses wepe approved |e with Dynamo" Campbell as Dean d of Methods. Dr. "Oandy gave full . LL_? ? support to the new program. 1934 ' saw the convention become a School of Methods to be field at one of our colleges. Convention music was furbished by invited choirs for the first time. ; 1935 is the end of the loose'group r iiJea with leaders selected at the .'convention without trough t o r preparation.

State-wide conferences i of state and district leaders was' ? set;---A' census was made of Sun- , . ers in the state. Program content^ 11 was changed. Banners were award-, ed for the first time. This year .; was one of adjustments and appro-. hension as to what the Correspond-, , ing Secretary had in mind. "Too . fast, Too fast", was the cry. Ev- I ; cry advance .was opposed by many.' Dr. J.

The 1935 . meeting at Morris College more * dent Gandy. i 1930 saw the completion of the . 30 years struggle of advanced * thinkers to have definite training r courses.
