11 Resolutions of Sympas
thy and Appreciation
Dr. John J. Starks
In the passing of Dr. John J.
J Starks, Iho baptists of South
Carolina hnVo lost a faithful mem
t ber, a conscientious official and a
fearless leader.
His broad experience, pood judg
incnt, and wise counsel proved
valuable to the' work of the denomination
throughout the state
and nation. While Dr. Starks was
i leader in business affairs, he
was even more a lender in missions,
education, and philanthropy.
. By "Tils death many Institutions
lose a generous supporter and a
wise eouncilor.
s For nearly half a century Dr.
Starks haa hedrr actively engaged
' * in the educational work of' our
? denomination. This experience, added
to a rare sense of human
t needs and vnlues, peculiarly fitted
- him for the presidency of Seneca
