AND OHIO r AMLIUES d Paul R. Webber, Jr. Dr. G. Goings Danieli Endorsed for Pres. Morris College On every hand, the question i being asked: who is going to b the next president of Morris Col lege? I was very much elated as wel as pleased with an article writtei by 'our b<uoved Pi of. J. B. Becli of Georgetown, S. - C., concemini the situation facing every Bap tist in South Carolina and in par ticular the men who compose th< Trustee Board of Morris College This situation has to do with th< selection of a man who is t < head the College and carry on thi fine work done by Drs. Brawley Starks and Pinson. 1 understand that the College is facing a very serious situatioi not only because it is without : President, but that a financial cri sis is threatening to undermim its very foundation, and in the se lection of. a man unless a ver] careful and unselfish selection i made, some serious consequencei may follow. Morris College must live, an< it will be a discredit to evef] Baptist, and to every Race lovini Negro in South Carolina if thi Institution must fold its wing! and discontinue its usefulness t the boys and girls throughout th< land. It is going to take a mai who is prepared, who is willinj to work hard, who sees no failur and is willing to make sacrifice! tor the good of the College. Ii the face of all these qualification: that I have stated, and after i very careful and candid consider ation, I know of no other man h my opinion who is better fitte< to head Morris College than oui own Dr. George Goings Daniels of Georgetown, S. C. It is my greatest desire to se< this educator, financier, builder organizer and preacher become the President of Morris College It is my candid opinion that h< will not deceive the Baptists o our State nor their friends, believe it will be a providentra act to elect this great man. It has been my pleasure t < study at close range and worl with Dr. Daniels for the past sev en or eight years, and I can sa; without any hesit&fcknv that H my own work as Principal o* Whittemore High School. Con -way, "S C., he has been a fountai; of inspiration to me and to th success of our work. 'Dr. Daniels came to our town about eight years ago as our pas tor. It was one of the most die couraging situations to be faced We had lost our church by fire an had "no where to lay our heads, but Dr. Daniels saw in us possi brlities that we were not able t see in ourselves. We were lik the Jews of old, who, when the; saw the condition of their Hoi; City, Jerusalem, desired the re building of her walls. We, toe had a mind to work, but lik them, we lacked leadership. Di Daniels came to 'our rescue, an led us out of the land of bond age into the sunlights of^indeper i dence and prosperity. We have a j a result of his careful and we j directed leadership one of th i most commodious and beautifu : brick churches of which any cor 1 gregation would be proud. Wha Dr. Daniels has done for us an the good people of Georgetowr S. C., he will do for Morris Co; lege. R. E. RHUE, Sr., Principal Whittemore High, Conway, S. C. FRIENDSHIP BAPT. CHURCH Rev. E. A.
