When a committee Of Columbians
appeared before Harmony %presbytery
yesterday in Bishopville, to urge ac-
.ceptance Of the original recommen-
dation made by the trustees of Chi
cora College, Greenville, which was
that ChicOra and the College for Wo-
men be consolidated in Columbia,
they were confronted by a statement
from ten of the Chicora trustees, q
majority Of the board, saying they
had changed their minds upon fresh
information. The p~resbytery finally
decided by n vote of 9 to 8 to refer
the matter to the Chicora board. This
is the course which was taken We'd
nesday by Enroee p~resbytery.
The document LAID before Harmony
ry X IRE cktApra Srystses
embodied the sense or conference
held in Columbia recently. 1t was as
follows:
Resolved. That this conference
feels that it is due to themselves as
directors and to the presbyteries as
owners of Chicora college to apprise
the latter of the fact that since their
action of February IL, recommending
to the presbyteries that. the name of
the college. be changed and the insti-
tuition removed from Greenville, S. c.,
to Columbia, S. c., facts have come to
their knowledge which, had they
known at the time, would have pre-
vented their voting for the recon-
mendations above referred to.
Resolved, second, That we call the
attention of the ~presbyteries to the
further fact that of the ten directors
signing this statement, eight were
present at the meeting of February
IL that adopted the recommended
tons above referred to and that the
ten members signing this statement
constitute a majority of the board"
The Columbia delegation which
consisted Of the Rev. A. w. Black
wood, the Rev. G.. A. Blackburn, C.
HI. Baldwin, T.. H. Dick and S. b. Nc
Master, called the attention Of the
p~resbytery to the fact hat the reso-
luton of the ten trustees did not set
out the newly discovered data which
had moved the signers to reverse their
position. Questioning by Columbia
committeeman is said to have brought
out statements that the trustees un-
dcrstood Columbians to be ~indisposed
to contribute toward the establish
ment OF a UNCONVENTIONAL college and
wore also informed that the Rev. s.
G. Byrd, now president of Chicora
college, would not be acceptable to
some Columbians as head of the con-
sOlidated institutions

necessary that the husband see, in his
wife the child of Mary. This is strik-
ingly illustrated in the case of one who
amidst difficulties and temptations re-
manned faithful to his marriage VOWS.
How could T." he said, lin case /
acted otherwise, look up to the pic
ture of Mary which hangs in our
room" Such marriage will not be-
come unhappy when periods occur
which demand a sacrifice of natural
impulses. In such family the hus-
band will be a true man, a worthy
father from whom the children will
learn lessons of self-restraint for the
better formation of character; in such
family you will find a devoted
mother, from whose pure soul there
will be reflected into the hearts of
the children the light and warmth Of
noble virtues.
Thus Mary is for us all an ideal, a
model from which not only shines
forth immaculate purity, but from
which proceeds life-giving strength
We gather round her affairs and
shrines to seek comfort amidst tribu
lations, support in our struggles
strength in weakness, and we are Ger
tains of finding consolation. For il
was never heard that any one who
| fed to her for protection, imploret
her help or sought her intercessior

clear, its education complete. Her
voice was noted for it's power and
sweetness; she was useful in every
way, In all things most loving and
serviceable. Her life was one of much
suffering, endured thankfully and joy
ously, rand increased, by her own rig
orous penances. She was dead to the
outward world, and her soul lived in
unruffled peace, favored with the
closest friendship with Jesus and
Nav Her heart was an unfailing
spring of compassion for all in sor-
row, so that she was called the uni
versal refuge and consider She was
especially devout to the Passion and
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and full OF
sympathy with the holy souls in pur.
gatory. I, She was abbess of Diessen
until she was summoned to reform q
monastery in Suabia. Her success
was complete: nothing could resist
