s VOL. XIV?NO~33 ; iW ? Baptists Called To ile State Three In One Co MORRIS COLLEGE ? OBJ TO ALL MEMBERS OF ALL BA Dear Co-Workers: This Emergency Cair ibr aTt Three Conventions to meet in a One Day Session at Morris college September 26, will not likely take you by surprise. The fact is. many have suggested that such a Call be made. Dr. Pinson's death occurred at a time when many of our Associations and Conventions were meeting. The general routine was disrupted. After consultation or correspondence, t h o 1 heads of the three State Conventions, The Baptist State Conventlon, The Woman's Sale Convene tion and the Suday School State Convention are a unit as to the ob jective sought by this call. Our object is to raise FIVE tS&.OOO.OG) THOUSAND?DOLLARS for Morris jQollege, at the. college. ^?r-i_ Baptists throughout the State, should welcome the opportuniy to ~do something for the college as we pass through thrs period when sudden sadness has invaded our ranks. We are asking the following amounts of each church, etc.: , Through the State ^Convention we ask each church to report at least 6.00; and each Association to report $10.00; each Union to re0t" port$5.00; each Trustee $5.00 and gate, each Preacher, Deacon and Indi shorn. vidual to report $1.00. Through Dr. the Wnmnn'a Stflfo fnnunntinn .ask each Missionary Society to p send at least $2.00 and each District Convention to send at least $5.00. Through th6 State Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. .Convention, we ask each Sunday School to send $2.00 and each Sunday t School Convention at least $5.00. " ? The tibove amounts are smalland can be easily paid. We want 5,000 members of our churches present at this meeting on the 26th of September. The college needs your help now and as loyal Baptists you will not fail it. Already President M. .K. How ard has called her warriors to arms and is simply awaiting this Call. The State Sunday School ?-Convention's head wiH be heard from.?Let us heed the call. Remember the date, SEPTEMBER 26, at 11:00 a.m., at Morris" colVge. 5,000 members expected. $5,000.00 to be raised. :H. H. BUTLER, President Baptist State Convention Mrs. M. K. HOWARD, Pres. XT r r? a ^ vvomiin s napi. aiaie' tonv.C. F. GANDY, President State S.S. & B.Y.P.U. Conv. MORRIS COLLEGE G. Gdings Daniels, Drive Director Morrip College is a concrete expression of a struggling people's efforts at self help in the field of Christian?Education^ ftrrd?air attempt to Justify for themselves a place in the educational sun. This institution, like all similar institutions, so organized, so dedicated and so endowed,, at some time or other in their history, is now" passing through its "Valley of Baca," brought upon it by an experience both painful and tra gic, the like^of which, we pvay, we shall never again be called upon to bear. But as from the ruins of an earthquake, there arose a new San Francisco, more, glorious tnd majestic than the old; and from the ashes of ,a devastating fire came forth a re-invivorated Chicago, gorgeously beautiful and mightier than ever; so from a tragedy that stun*- d and shocked our souls will co e a Morris, so powerful that the wisest seer dare ^ not attempt to predict 'Hie extent and power of its influence. ~ The control of the College is in tne nanas or a Hoard of ninetynine (99) "men whose hearts" God has touched," elected annually by Baptists represented in the Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina. A few weeks from this, these Samuels led by Drs. H. H. Butler President of the__Baptist State ? Convention,-J. W. Boykin and J> - P. Garrick, Chairman and Secretary of the Trustee Board and B. F. Stewart. President of the Alumni, "will go down to Bethlehem and anoint a David" to take un where Saul left off. Christians throughout the country, whatever their distinctive appellations, even now join with the Alumni and students in prayer that God will guide them in therr choice. Until that time we are appealing to our loyal supporters to send in what ever donation thejTcan to carry on this great school. Old students are urged to return and new students are urgently requested to matriculate. Information will be gladly fur, nish&d by Dr. J. P. Garrick, Mor ris College. Sumter or Drs. H. H. Butler, Hartsville and J. W. Boykin, Camden. s. c 1 * - ?/?w ?

Wilson WTiile sitting down iri my libraj ry this morning reading and medi1 tating, I thought of the condition . of the Church in South Carolina, r so I put down my book and took i up my pen. ? It seems like some of the ?<? ~ 3 called high churchmen have been . in o state of unrest all of?this j' year, from some unknown cause . And being in that state it seemed | like they have done everything to . impede the progress of the church i and school. They have been , ungodly in their, wicked plans i that they have tried to destroy i the great, future of the youth in thw State I And all of it wan with, out a just cause. I feel that if . we didn't have a great experienci ed captain at. the helm, one who is fearless and immovable, t h 3" . old ship_would have sunk. But he i stands firm like the great rock of VllUi t\k CO,I . .1 Our er-eat Bishop Flipper has tried to treat every man right. 1 If there is - any man who was I moved from any prominent charge I it was because the people didnt ! want him, or because he" didn't I do his duty and didn't work in har mory wr.h his Presiding Elder. . And any man who feels that he can't cooperate with his presiing ; elder, shouldn't crave to be under j him. Bishop Flipper has been preaching the gospel of peace ever , since he came to the state. And ; he" is not only doing that here, but . I was in Jacksonville, Fla., a few l week's ago, and the leading men i said to me that they have never i had a better Bishop than Bishop I T. S. Flipper. It seemed like these so-called high churchmen have tried to run the church in ^ the state independently of a head. _ | They don't realize the fact that we are working under an episcopal . government. And now I can hear . that the same group of high , churchmen are working hard to be elected delegates to the^General ^Confrence. But I feel that here is the time when the men in South .' . Carolina, who have any church pride and who are standing b y the administration should rise up as a mighty army and s9y let us elect a delegation who is 100 per cent for the administration. It might seem like everything i s quiet now, but I feel that there?is .still a great under current still working. There are stHl many who JuC liKv> Ciofnro vircrmianR wKf* ? "FfaCe"ThoIr'heads In now, but aim I ply waiting for an opportune I time to put their heads out and bite. So I feel that every one who loves the church, who loves the school and who have faith in our great head, should let us join in and do some constructive work in electing delegates who are true to the administration. And I don't think it is a question any more about who is true, and about who will help to put over arty big program in the state. I feel assured that all hands had been seen. And Jesus said: "By~their frurta ye shall know them." I feel that South Carolina has the greatest opportunity to get recognition in this General Conference than it has had for many years.
