The Morris college drive mus1 ever be the objective No. 1 if thai child of our sainted dead and fee ble living who labored for its birty is to be properly nourished. You will remember how the pre! ident of the college came pleading for the enlargement of th< * library and other necessary im provements to keep the college tc an accredited standing. Many ol us said "Go ahead Dr. Pinson, we are with you". Brethren let ui not forget Hhis promise. Oui promises are of service only when we lay down the cash. Money is the loud speaker in building and maintaining schools. Dr. ?~G. Daniels 7 has been keeninc fipfnre 11a rtio omftiinl on. portioned to each association .in order that our budget for the year will be raised. But the moderators can only urge pastors tc bring up these amounts fronr their churches. We brother pastors have the ears of our congregations. 'No pastor can feel his best toward the officer who blocks the program of the church whether it is done through ignorance indifference or meanness, neithei can the president of the state convention carry the warmest place in his affections for one of us that act the part of an impeder, In order to equalize the burden as much as possible a plan was worked out some time ago asking each church that met once a month for preaching service tc bring up at least $5.00 more than the doorway fee for this drive. This works out on the basis of $10.00 for 1 Sunday churches; $15 for two Sunday churches etc. If this is conscientiously done bv everv nastor we will more than raise our budget. Dr. J. J. Stark* has just install ed pews in Antisdel chapel fit for any group and there are other worthy projects on for "Dear Old Benedict" but the lovers of the college must stand by with more . than talk if this laudable worl< is to be continued. Th? reports from all &t oui mission projects are encouraging on the one hand but are sorely in need of money on the other. II the gospel of Jesus Christ is tc be preached in all lands we who have been saved by it must do <rur part. One year mor? has been added to 4he years of every surviving minister this means an increase in the number that should be superannuated. I suggest that everj pastor take one special offering doing the month of April for aged ministers and their widows anc bring this to Newberry. Brethren if we follow the rec ommendatifms of President But ler our chieftain and rally to hiir as we have promised our denominational work soon be selfsupporting. It was gratifying to read Dr Gandy*a letter to the brethren These great leaders Butler, Gandy Maddox, and Howard are indeec God sent persons for such a tirm as this. Respectively yours, L. C.

I have " -fotmd-him-to- be -a?rmrrr for peace. We are a split state and had he I not been for peace, he would have been listening STT71 Following the ' advice of some one of the far. 11UHS., to tne temporary destruction of the others. But he has done good to the leaders of both | sides, which shows he is a Bishop I for all of the people. If either [side have?been running to him | against the o^h'er, he has proven | himself to b#-n Christian gentleI men by not catering to their deI tnands and requirements, because 1 he has taken care of them all. So I sincerely think and know that both sides should have quitting sense. Because so long as they try to kill the other, they keep themselves down. They hurt the .church, school and give the Bishop a great, deal of unnecessary unrest. The" strike has been and can't be with-called now. Why any side make so much publicity as to who was the cause. It seems to me that if there is two sides as some excited papers and ones allege, they should have quitting sense. Because they are two sides for public criticism. One side says: maybe that it was church politics that caused tho former actinc president, tn bp p lected or appointed in the way and at the time he was?appointed. Kven before Dr. MeGill was dead. It showed disrespect etc. The other side says: maybe, that the other stirred up the student-body I and offered or made the other criticisms for political gains to the destruction of the other. But in my judgement can't either side pr.ove their accusations against the other, and should have quitting serrstr:?because the council had acted on pure motives, and the student-body could have acted on-theit- own accord; "Because seniors are capacitated nowadays tc think ama?:ngly. Now neither s'idc can wholly win the public, nor the members or leaders of the church. Because there are logical reasoning on both sides, and there is nothing but a God knQwSr? ?(I think.) ?o why so much excitement, when it does nothing but harm ,to the individuals, church and jchool. etc. In this excitement some are likely to tell lies on the other knowingly or not k n o win gTyl It seems that even some publishers got lost arid . over-stated by hurried information, and upon seeing danger nfffl to retract and refute, his or their former statement. And used names on one side that he or they can't, prove guilty of his or their!-allegation. It seems that one gives out information. accusations and statements. that when the showdown came, they had to retreat from to save themselves or self. So why not have quitting, sense and let the school and church go. Why T hav? been informed by one of the alumni's committeemen that went to Atlanta U? wait on the Bishop that the Bishop had a letter staling that the strike was over, and peace prevailed and that I)-,-. Dent was vetting along nicely in peace and- harmony, etc. An'.l ikatr-Hvy noirir wa^- as^igned?? to ?the letter. But T-am here to say it won't do the individual artyh good nor will it do the church any good. Bht I only want the Bishop to know it was forgery. The only information I got from a person of authority a? to the strike I callefl up Dr. T. J. Miles and ? asked him how was the strike getting .along? And he told pie he thought 't was gptting along nice- _ ?.? ? !y and thought it was about settled. .But1 he would write me the next Saturday or Sunday. So he did notify .me.-to_meet the. Executive Beard an?Monday^ That I did. and acted and spoke my judge ment for the good of the school, church and Bishop with no thought of factions. We should have quit- > ting sense, and stop factions and NsN let us get some where. This state will never get anything of1 note in tho general conference so lor* as we have two factions and go there gplit. I am for the church. And not for ffactions. T^ea us have quitting sense and go to the general conference to bring bur Bishop hack and make-ami ampnd some good laws that will help the peoplc, etc. , H, B. RIKARD, Prosperity, S. C. A
