THAT MOUNTAIN MISSION.

| wish to answer a number of private questions
publicly and thus shorten the process, and perhaps
give better results. For lack of a suitable teacher
the school was not taught all winter. Only the
first of March did / secure a teacher. To put a
teacher there means that you have to employ tl0O
people, for lady cannot stay there alone so
now have two young ladies at work one does the
teaching and the other the housekeeping, and to-
gether they visit they have opportunity. In
some respects it is the best work which has been
done in the mission. The life there is isolated and
in some respects quite trying one. The question
OF a support for this work is to quite serious

contributed regularly to this work and this is the
only support that ! count on. The accumula

gained by commission from the Presbytery of
South Carolina Eighteen members were enrolled at
the organization. For three years thereafter the
church had no regular place of worship.
In 1850 a lot was given to the congregation by
Vardry McBee on the of Washington and
Richardson Streets and a very modest structure
erected thereon, being dedicated on the second Sab
bath of June, 1851 That building was occupied
by the congregation until 1882. when it was torn
down, and the present splendid structure erected
upon the site. 1t occupied in January,
1884, and dedicated in August 1890.
The Rev S. s. Galliard was the first pastor of the
church. He installed September 20. 1851 and

in 1892 and served the church until 1902 During

The matter of this overture deserves the serious
attention OF the General Assembly 1t contemplates
an annual collection in all of churches for the
and of schools, colleges and seminaries to supplement-
their lack of income from tuition fees or from in
vested funds. We have committed a grevous error
In not establishing such an educational agency many
years ago. Other churches, the Northern Presbv-
terrain and the Methodist have adopted a wiser
course and as consequence their educational inst
tutlons are much better supported than ours. The
Northern Presbyterian Church has lust raised dur-
ing the past year 1865 647 for this purpose which
Is equal to the income at per cent. interest on an
invested fund of more than six millions of dollars
The last government report (l9O3) furnishes MS
with the following figures, which are certainly
worthy of our consideration. The total value of col
leges for men in Observation-Disclosures 1000;
Presbyterans, $322,000 In North Carolina-Metho-
dists 1887 900; Presbyerans, 1907 900 In South
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, $336OOO Presbyterians $25.-
OOO In OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, $3.50 OOO Presbveri-
ans none; and in Tennessee-NLethodists 50 1875 600
Presbyterlans, S57SOOO 1t may be safely said that
this disparity between the Methodsts and Presbvte-
rlans has been brought about i'm large measure by
the fact that the former have while the latter have
not been Systematically for years taking annual col
lectons in their churches for the support of their
educational institutions
Many things might be said in favor of an annual
collection in church for the assistance of our
educational institutions. For thing. MANY of
them are suffering from the embarrassment of an an
to meet. For another it would be much easier for
our people to pay the annual income upon invested
fund of from one to five millions of dollars than it.
would be to raise that sum II is difficult to find in
vestment for large They are often lost and
the rate of interest shows growing tendency to de
crease 1t is time that church should cease wait
ing for large gifts to endow our institutions and be
gin to take annually the offerings of our people i'm
systematic way.
1t is earnestly hoped that this matter will be placed
I'm the hands of our Executive Committee of Church
and Christian Education, some other be estab-
ished for the purpose; that a secretary be elected
and an annual collection be ordered in the churches
Many individuals and churches within our bounds
would be able and willing to contribute the amount
equal to the annual interest 800 ST OOO SIS 600
or 10000 who could not and would not contribute
such large sums to permanent endowment fund
And besides an annual collection would serve the
purpose of keeping the people informed and in closer
sympathy with the needs and Che work of our educa-
uonaI institutions. RUSSELL CECIL.

OVERTURE TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Ihe undersigned respectfully overture the General
Assembly OF the Presbyterian Church in the United
'Vtes 10 meet at Greenville S. c., May IT, 1906 to
establish and order an annual collection in All of o
churches Tor the support of institutions of learn
ing Our reasons for presenting this overture are As
follows: ''' "e
l. Our educational institutions are without oxcon
ion lnauequately endowed, and in consequence
seriously embarrassed in the prosecution of their
work. - ~
z. 1t Is not reasonable to suppose that this diff
cuy can be effectively remedied in the near future
D. The funds secured by annual collection while
not so burdensome upon the people, would equal the
income on large invested sums and if wisely and
equaDly distributed would enable our institutions of
learning to fulfill their important mission with n,uot
greater satisfaction to the church

Live Oak daily Democrat. (Live Oak, Fla.) 190?-190?, 1906-10-04

Augusta, Georgia, is a representa-
tive Southern city and it is signif1-
cant that last Tuesday the white and
eolored ministers there met in friend
ly conference to discuss the race is
sue and agree upon some policy that
would help to discourage crime
among the deproved negro element
and bring about the cooperation of
the good people of both races to that
end. The dispatch says that the ses-
sion lasted several hours and many
important resolutions were adopted
which, it is believed, will greatly pro-
mote harmony between the races in
Augusta and vicinity. 1t is hoped the
action will lead to similar action in
other southern centers. Negro mini
sters carry very large influence with
their race. They are something more
than spiritual guides-they are teach
ers and leaders along more material
lines, and in all racial issues, large
and small, their people look to them
for counsel and instruction. If they
are wise and conservative in that re-
lation they can do immense good in
promoting harmony between the
white and colored people; and on the
other hand, they can do enormous in
jury if they are Incorporate and vim
dictive in their leadership. The sup
preston of crime should be nowhere
an issue among decent people of any
color. The sentiment of the good and
worthy of both races should be solid
on that subject; but here in the
South we know from sore experience
that the negroes do not cooperate
with the whites, even in aiding in the
capture of the vilest of negro GRIM
inals-those who assault white wo-
men, and We are left unassisted in
that work, even though the highest
interests of the whole negro race
would be greatly promoted by the
assistance now withheld. Here is a
definite end for the negro preachers
to work to, and if the white preach
ers can aid them to it, as they seem
to be doing in Augusta. it will be
the beginning of a strong remedial
influence that may reach in time
through the whole body of Southern
negroes.
