NlllEMVkin GUILE
Rev. nj B. Harmon, of Nc
Court, has the following Id The
last issue Of the Christian Advo-
cate:
I'D obedience to an appointment
received at the last session of the
Mississippi Conference, the writ
eli spent one day at The college
during the session past, and
wishes here and now to add his
endorsement TO the many good
things being said about the present
administration. They have made
many improvements to the prop
erty, which largely enhance its
value and utility. We note some
|of the improvements, as follows:
The chapel and several of the rec
itation rooms have been repaint-
ed; a heating plant has been put
ii Margaret Hall costing So, 600,
toward which Mr.. E. III. Easter
ling donated $500; the Offices of
both president and vice president
have been refurnished and repa-
pered; the Calisthenic Hall has
been improved; the johnson
Home has been improved by the
addition of bath rooms, with hot
and cold water supply; the old
pool on east campus, which had
been declared by some physicians
unhealthy, has been filled at q cost
of 500; Improvements have been
made in the laundry by the addi-
ton of an excellent boiler. These
Improvements have been made at
the cost Of the administration,
with the exception Of $500 from
Mr.. Easterling on the heating APP
paratus.
Now suffer a word Of exhorta-
ton. Whitworth College is en-
titled to the support of Mississip-
pi Methodists:
/. Because Of the sacred associ-
atoms connected with that spIen-
did institution Of learning. Read
the biography Of the Iamented and
sainted Harvey johnson, and you
will have largely the history of
WhitWorth College.
2. Because Whitworth College
is the property of the Mississippi
Conference. 1t is our college.
AS loyal Methodists, we ought TO
support it.
3. Because of the exceIlency of
the work done at the college. The
work of last session was unanim-
ously commended by the Board of
Trustees. The men who signed
those resolutions were careful and
wise business men and Christian
ministers, who would not lend
their names TO endorse any insti-
tuition they could not righteously
commend. The administration of
the college was commended also
by DR.. Hammond, our General
Secretary of Education, who de-
Eclared that because Of the high
grade work the institution had adj
Ivanced to Glass a.
4. Because the college, under
the administration of DR.. I. w.
Cooper and Rev. III. G.. Hawkins,
is fully and heartily endorsed by
the Mississippi Annual Confer
ence. You can not find a safer or
better place to send your daugh-
tiers.
Mississippi Methodism has man-
ifested its Willingness to support
and maintain Whitworth College
BY the large patronage accorded
Our people Of Brookhayen have
been appealed to from time to
time on behalf Of the institution
that is a pride and honor to our
VICINITY, and one whose name is
lindissolubly connected wit b
Brookhayen's history. We hope
to see the generous example Of
Mr.. Easterling and Of Mr.. But
Terrified emulated by some money
ed men whose purse strings, we
hope, are already beginning to
loosen on behalf of so worthy and
so valuable local institution.
Indifference is often of more dead
lily and certain effect than down
right opposition or enmity.
