Dr. Garriek's Request
L A few rnonths ago Dr. Garrick
1,! promised the trustees of Morris o
college that he would rid the q
school of all debts if the' Baptist .
would support the school as well
this year as it did last year. 1ft 1
regrets to ainiounee that funds e
coming in from Associations and
I . Conventions are far short of the t
I! goal reached last season. Those
! | who are yet to give ure urged to! '
I let the sum equal or exceed the j ^
I amount donated last year. Morris i t
eolleve. he?pleads,?must?continue I <
! her forward march. Tlx- strength
of this forward , movement rests ; .
solely in the amount of money re- I 1
'jceived from the Baptist of the 1
) state, the chief "supporter of the j r
i college. The supporters are then | t
' the school. Let the Baptist not!.,
io?Amn ?.? i
i , i/wumt uiuuiciciii anu aavinu^u tu ,
do just a little when the college j
is struggling to carry the Baptist 11
ideal higher and higher. Let n< e
. i carelessness arise to weaken any t
of the links that form this great
institution. When the name, Mor- '
| ris college, conies before us let it j
; j receive our wholehearted support j i
, i Let it spring first in the heart of s
j every loyui Baptist and friend
And it shall continue to move for,
i ward, to become the prhhr-of"cTuf ^

..with cut Howers and -ferns. The t
, I bridal altar was an arch of white p
candles, which burned during the ~

' Miss A. Br*Dent, siste? of the.

i During the ceremony Mrs. John i f
j Mdlode played very softly "0 ' s
| Promise Me." For the procession- | t
al the organist used the tradi- j _
tional wedding marches.
1 The bride entered the room
, with her father, Mr. A. Dent, by j A
whom she was given in! marriage j s
The bride wore a dres!T7)T^vnite p
satin with accessories to match j
and a >veil which trailed. Her
i flowers were white asters and
fetais.
i The bridal party consisted ol
the -^following: Miss M. W. Dent, j
I sister of the bride, maid of honr. She
wore a blue all net dress 1
with accessories to match, and car j t
ried a bouquet of pink gladioli:
and ferns. Miss E. B. Chisolm ol ! n
Orangeburg was the only bride's '
maid. She wore a pink dress with F
