DIR. COOPER'S WORK.

While it is true that DIR. Cooper was
not orthodox in his religious faith, yet
he perhaps did more for the advance
ment of Christian education than any
man that ever lived in the State. His
irreliglous views while he was con-
nected with the South Carolina Col
lege, excited Church people of all the
denominations to great activity in the
effort to preserve the faith that was
handed down by their fathers. The
Associate Reformed Presbyterians, al
though numerically the weakest, led
in the effort for church colleges, and
other denominations seeing their sue
cess and the good results, quickly es-
tablished colleges of their own.

THE CHURCH WORK.

The church has always been noted
for its mission work, and the liberal
expenditures along these lines is best
attested by the financial reports to the
Synod.
The Synod has officially undertaken
to raise a Twentieth Century fund OF
sixty thousand dollars, divided as fol-
lows:
$25, 900 for Erskine.
Sl2, 500 for Due West Female College.
S12, for Educational work in Mexico
$4,000 for Home Missions.

ed congregation, yet it was not
always so. 1t was of course natu-
raj that Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rians should gravitate to Abbeville,
and it was also to be expected that they
munion of some church, and in this
way some of the best men of the town
in other churches were originally AS
sociate Reformed Presbyterians. For
instance:
There is Mr.. r. NJ. Haddon. He
was born and brought up an Asso-
ciate Reformed Presbyterian, and his
daily life has been governed by relig-
ious convictions. More than thirty
years ago, while a youth, he came to
AbbevilIe poor in this worlds goods,
and not rich in health. In feeble
body, however, he had Il great heart
and an invincible determination to
succeed in life. He is now one of the
rich men of the town, h0nored and
respected by all. But he is no longer
with the church of his fathers. When
he was young he joined the Presbyte-
rians. He is now one Of the Jealous
supporters of that church, while he is
a loss 10 the communion of his child
hood.
The Associate Reformed Presbyte
rians lost Mr.. J. l.. Mcmillan very
much in the same way. Before the
organization of the Associate r formed
Presbyterian church at Abbeville he
married one of the hest Methodist girls
in all this land. Like the good and
true man that he is, at his wife's re-
quest, he simply put his hat under his
arm and marched with her right into
the Methodist church, where he is TO
day, a tower of strength. He is all ac-
tive church worker, and his financial
ability is such as to make him priced
member when the stewards are looking
for money. He is loss to the Asso-
ciate Reformed Church.
We might continue Indefinitely to
mention Instances where the Associate
Reformed church has given Of the best
and the choicest of her sons 10 other
com munions. The other churches al
ways receive and welcome the best
Associate Reformed Prcsbyterians.
DIR. RoNNER's NOTABLE CAREER.
Rev. J. I. Bonner for thirty years
was one of the most useful members
of the Associate Reformed Church.
He was largely instrumental in raising
the first endowment of Erskine. He
established the church paper aud or
ganized the Due West Female Col
lege.

THE ERSKINIAN.

An important feature of the college
is the magazine published by the stu
dents. The two literary societies are
pledged to its support, and it is thus
made permanent journal, which is
alike an honor to the college and a
credit to the students.
The editors in 1904 are:
Ebb Hunter, Editor-ip-Chief
]. A. Jenkins, Literary.
G. D. Brown, Current Events.
N. M. McDill, Alumni.
w. A. Kennedy, Athletic and Y. M.

GONE TO OTHER CHURCHES.
Erskine College has been blessing
to a multitude of men, and from her
halls have gone out sons to adorn all
the higher and the holier walks Of life.
And to the sister denominations Frs
kline College has given some of her
ablest and her best sons.
For instance There is John II. Mil
ler, of Birmingham, Ala. He was an
honored graduate, and later he held a
professorship in the class rooms of his
alma mater. Resigning that position
he went to Birmingham for the prac-
tice of law. All who know him at
Due West remember him as gentle
man of culture and as man of the
best type of the Christian character
His ability:and his personal magnetism
were recognized by all. Finding no
Associate Reformed church in the city
of his adoption, he Joined the Presby-
terians, among whom he is now an
elder, and one of the strongest support
ers of that church. And whether in
or out of the church he is foremost in
good works and good words.
Then there was Rev. r. w. Sloan,
whom we all know as a preacher of
great ability and religious fervor. He
was called to the pastorate of the
Greenvlle congregation of Presbyte-
rians, which is the largest and the rich
est congregation in the South Caro-
lima Synod.
1t has been said that there are more
Irishmen in America than in Ireland.
So it may he said of the Associate Re-
formed Presbyterians. They. have
more members in other communions
than they have in their own church.
Their members, because of their abil-
ity, naturally go out into new fields,
and finding no congregation of their
own faith have gone into other COM
munions.
Although the city of Abbeville now
has an organized Associate Reform
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1904-02-24

Numerically, the Associate Reformed
Presbyterians are not a strong peo-
pie, yet working in unison with each
other for common purpose, they are
irresistible, and success i ure to crown
their every great effort. 1t is nota-
BILE fact that this church has never
failed at anything.
Their last enterprise looking to the
great good of their fellow man, as we'll
as to adding glory to the Christian
people was the proposition to establish
an orphanage, in which poor children
might be cared for and receive an edu-
cation, and be trained up in the way
they should 60.
In response to that impulse an Or
phanage was organized at Hickory,
S. c., in the year 1898, with Rev. j. II.
Simpson as superintendent.
AS yet its means of support is small,
and its usefulness is limited. If the
determination of this people is to be
measured by their efforts in overcom-
ing difficulties in establishing Erskihe
College, the Due West Female College,
and the church paper, the world may
expect to see the Associate Reformed
Orphanage come up to all the require
ments of the proudest and the grand
est institutions in the land.
