Bernheim Of Mt. Pleasant, Lutheran,

The Winston Republican well says:
1t is a proud day for a State, these Col
lege Commandments, and as such should
be nurtured with jealous care. They are
proud days too for the young men and
women who make their debut on them.
Proud da, for their friends. 1t indi-
Gates a healthy educational sentiment to
observers who cannot have failed to note
a growing interest, all over this State, in
these occasions. Commandments are
only more numerous, as seminaries
have increased, but the interest in and
at them is much greater, and
more general than ever before in the his
tory of the State.
