PRESBYTERIAN ENDOWMENT

The Headquarters Of the endowment
fund campaign Of Bethel presbytery,
saws a Chester special of Sunday, was
very much alive last night as the hrst
week of the campaign was drawing TO
a happy close. Rev. A. c. Bridgman,
financial agent Of the campaign, has
experienced no little Inconvenience In
getting reports from the different
churches scattered throughout the
presbytery. He Is Of the opinion from
what he has been able to gather quiet
ly that the solicitations from nearly
all the churches are going forward
with speed. It was at first decided to
run the campaign only eight days;
however, a combination Of circum-
stances have indicated to the leaders
/ that it would be best to permit 1t to
consume about fortnight. Rock Hill
was apportioned $4,000 and most
gratifying reports have come from
there, preferring to make the an
nouncement the latter part OF next
| week. when they feel confident the, en-
tire amount will be raised. Chester
was apportioned $4,000, and 1t has
raised all but $3.50 Of that amount, and
| II Is believed that even more than $25O
will be raised today. Yorkville was
apportioned $4,000 and has already
IS5 over that amount. That Is just
sample of how the good work Is pro-
crossing, says Mr.. Bridgman. There
are So churches in the presbytery and
only 32 have been heard from.
Bethel presbytery Is to raise Sob, ,OOo
of the 100000 that the synod OF
South Carolina Is trying to raise for
the Presbyterian colleges In this state
namely. Columbia Theological Sem
mary at Columbia; Presbyterian Col
lege Of South Carolina at Clinton, and
Chicora college for women at Green
willie. The first and last named insti-
tutions are to receive $4,000, while
the second, 100000.
