LOOKING FOR MAN.
Who is to be the successor OF DR.. Grler as
president of Erskine College? This ts the all
important question that will absorb the at
tention OF the Associate Reformed church
until the election is held at the approaching
meeting Of the Synod. A thoroughly quail.
fled man in mind and heart, Is needed to
meet the case. A man with a broad mind
and biz heart, a heart full OF sympathy for
a struggling student and who Is ever ready TO
cheer and encourage him In bis efforts to
reach upward. A level beaded man, man
OF equanimity, man who controls with bis
heart rather than with an Iron hand. The
president should be man full OF energy and
push and who will draw students to Erskine
College, A man OF whom the friends OF the
College will be proud. A man qualified by
nature and grace for the difficult and RESPONSE
ole work that will depend upon him. Who
is the man?
