J. G. Applewhite presided over
the Sunday night meeting of che
Y. Nj. G. A. The scripture lesson
which he read was from Matthew
5th chapter. Mr.. Thomas Lanham
once of Edgefeld county, but now
in charge of county Y. NJ. G.
a. work near Cleveland, Ohio, ad-
dressed our society: His subject
which he fifty and ably discussed
was, Our purpose in life" Mr..
Lanham gripped his audience with
the earnest and consecrated talk
he made. His text was found in
Phil. 3:l3 and he gave US three
rules that a Christian should fol-
low: lst, study Gods word, End,
talk to him in prayer and 3rd, help
others. The association greatly ap-
preciated this fine address. Capt.
Taylor is trying to secure another
attractive speaker for our next
meeting.
The last talk that DR.. J. F. Vines
of Anderson gave US was a week
ago last Tuesday. At the chapel
exercises he especially urged us to
come to Christ and be saved.
On Friday morning over dozen
cadets and all the college girls
marched down to the station to see
DIR. Vines depart. A hand shake all
around was all the time he had be-
fore the train pulled out bearing
the beloved preacher, dearer now
than ever before to over fifty newly
saved young people.
Friday night lour c. l. boarding
girls were baptized into the fellow
ship of the Baptist church. Misses
Sallie Minis, Myra Morris, Clara
Sauls and Leila Bandy were the
ones that received the sacred ordi-
nance. A most remarkable fact
about the girls is that there is not
a single girl boarding in the build
ing that is not now a follower Of
Jesus Christ.
Sunday morning was a joyous
times, Pm sure, for DR.. Jeffries for
he buried six cadets in baptism that
morning. Cadets A S Kilgore, w
X Herndon, L P Elan, H Il Joye,
G S Leslie and . L Burnett. The
special prayers of the Edgeheld
Baptist church must surely now be,
for these new members that they
may grow in grace and usefulness.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. Ham Brant
from Rufin, S. G., arrived at the
college Thursday to see their son
and left Saturday.
John I'andy from Aiken and his
little brother We're at the college
Sunday.
The following cadets are on
leave: Private Atkinson to Golfers,
lieutenant D 3 Woodward to Al
ken, corporal Foster to Greenvillc,
private Partlow to Augusta. Cadet
captains Horton and Croxton were
away Monday in Columbia to attend
the corn show.
Through some mistake the full
roll of the newly elected officers Of
the Pierian Literary Society was
not published last week. l omitted
that of censor. Cadet j. G. Apple
white was elected to that Office.
In the recent competitive drill
he'd here recently between the two
companies, Go. B. was successful,
capturing both medals. Private
Reese won the recruit medal and
lst sergeant ki!gore, the old boys.
The Pierian Literary Society held
another interesting debate which
was resolved: THAT the steamboat
has done more for civilization than
the locomotive. The debate was
won by the affirmative. Special men
ton must be made Of the reader.
His piece was comical but well
read. The installation of the new
officers took place at this meeting.
The vice president made splendid
inaugural speech. On account of the
absence of the president no speech
was made by him but we will ex-
pect one next meeting.
1t is understood that this year
the school will go on an encamp-
| ment to Greenwood in April. The
cadets will march about half way
to Greenwood where the citizens OF
that town will send automobiles to
convey US to that city. The return
trip will be made by the train. All
together five days will be consumed
| in the encampment.
