To the Baptist Brotherhood of iSouth Carolina, Trustees and Alumnies of Morris College: We come- we come! and ye feel our might; As we'ie hastening on in out boundlesa flight; And over mountains, and over the deep, Our hrnaH inuieiK). ? ? ? ...? jjiuiviis oVY Like the spirit o-f liberty wild and Jfcee And ye look ?n our work8 anc own 'tis we; Ye call u8 the winds; but can ye tell Wither we go Or where we dwell? Our dwelling is in the Almighty'* : hafad; We come and go at His command, The joy or sorrow may maik our track, His will is our guide, and we look not back; And If in our wrath, ye would turn us away, Or win us in gentle airB to play, Then lift up your hearts to Him who binds, , Or frees, as lle wills, the obedient 1 ?? ? Our dear beloved President Dr. L D. Pinson is gone at God's com mand. His ideals are still to b? carried out. Let u& as Baptist oi Soutn Carolina, wane up, catch up and keep up. The late presidem had in mind building a library Let us build it, and name it the Pinson's Library. 1 am asKing every Baptist pa> tor to let us organize a Morri. College club in "our churches. Moi ris college is our3 and it must live. It cannot live without your sup. - port. .ftfko, la ?, ... I make my plea for Dr. J. P. Garrick of bumter, S. C. He i> not a man tnat ju^t got the col_| lege at heart since tne death ol the president, so let us consider the past. He was one of the main spork in the wheel that kept it lolling with money and service. If we want to go forward we must ..consider the?achievements of our great men. For before we can accomplish or achieve anything we must go back to the acmeve. ments of our ancestors. Get in. spiration to. achieve as well a* tney did. With a visic/n of these great souls looking down upon us urging us on to Complete and unnnisned task to the per. foimance of which they made an ou.Ctanuing coiiharuetion, lior a despised and rejected race. ~ When the conquering Caucas. sian nad three thousand years of training behind him, the cnattcl slave still hid three hundred years of bounuage beic/re him. But now the colored man is persuing his own peiformance. y No man can excell ^Dr. J. P. Garrick when it comes '.to support big Morris college.. The nations 01 the earth m two thousand year8 have not produc. ed sculpture to equal much less too surpass Grecian Statuary. As monuments Of literal y art,?the oration ox Demosthenes have nev er been excelled. Homer, still remains Prince of Poets, v&vid, wrot? the Psalm* as temple worship. No work od modem education would be com. piete without a college president. Dr. G&rrick is the man who can go and biing in materials to keep it^hve. When you come to battling a. gainst the public, 1 put him with * L'Uvercure, Alexander and Ab. bott, Walker and Whipper. ueii you come to -invention 1 put him with Banneker and But. oa, Bethane and Butler. When you cutuu to tiavenng i put, utiu with Scott and Scarborough, Sis. <- sle and Simmcms. He has built and is now pas. toring the Secdhd BaptiBt church of this city and New Bethel Bap_ I tist churcn of Sumter county; at. r an pnalming F.nnch BaPt. church. He entered Morris college as a member of the faculty in iy07. He also served under the following Presidents, Drs. E. M. Brawlcy J. J. Starka and I. D. Pinson. He , is secretary of the Wateree association low division and also the Black River association. Now afcting president of sattt college Therefore I plead to the Bap. ^ p. tists, Trustees and Alumnies to ?f!?act Dr. J. P. Garrick as PreaL Vjt of Morris college.
