Mars Hill Celebrates Founder’s Day
The spirit of solemnity and prayer
pervaded the auditorium of Mars Hill
—'College when the audience lead by
Mrs. Wilkins sang, “Come Thou Al
mighty king” as the opening song of
the program which lasted throughout
e i
CALENDAR
'"°the entire school day. Dr. A. C. Ham-
* ^'by. assistant corresponding secretary
'P°|of the Board of State Missions, lead-
I the opening prayer. ' Before the speak-
'ers were introduced Messrs. Holmes,
Grady, Hughes and Cornwall sang as
a quartet “Faith of Our Fathers.”
In a. series of fifteen minute speeches
the story of Mars Hill was related from
—. its conception in the mind of its orig
inator, Edwin Carter, a firm believer in
Christian education and the providence
— of God, who had faith to such an ex
tent that he was willing to start a
movement that many years later was
to give us .the blessings of Mars Hill
that we now enjoy. The story of these
untiring efforts was related by Mr.
I, John Robert Sams as he told of the
Providence of God In the founding of
. Mars Hill College. With this idea and
a few hundred dollars in subscriptions,
' ranging from one hundred dollars to
, fifty cents in value, the great struggle
■w^as. begun,
■ During the civil war the school was
discontinued and soldiers were quar-
j, tered ih the buildings that thus far
', bad been built, which event lead to
the burning of one of the buildings,
g Senator A. F. Sams of Winston-
Salem told the audience of God’s
guidance in keeping the college alive.
4 ' “Mars Hill has stood on the purpose
. of God,” seemed to be the text of his
speech.
' Professor H. T. Hunter of Cullowhee
toi(j q( }iow the Providence of God has
been expressed In her expansion and
service. After a brief contrast of the
present state and that of the years
e past, showing the steady growth of
the college and its work, he discussed
the vision of the founders, the gifts of
friends that have been felt in their
support of the college interests ,and
the army of successful students that
^ have gone out as graduates. Accord-
, ^Pg to Professor Hunter the great
number of the graduates who are
making a success are living out the
vision of their alma mater and are
not merely trusting chance but putting
their trust in the preparation and pur-
pose of God’s own plan for those train-
- after His will. Professor Hunter
— further said that Mars Hill never al
lows a noise to be made about what
she does; she sees that the service
ts given and lets the noise take care
of itself.
Honorable J. W. Bailey was unable
to flu uig place on the program on ac
count of Illness; but fortunately Dr.
J. Bateman of Asheville filled his
place with an Interesting Instructive,
o^d Incouraglng address In which he
magnifled opportunity as something
that comes to every man or woman
vrho lives long, with special emphasis
on the facts that opportunities are dl-
t’^ine and do not Just happen, "Suc-
oess is of God. He has nothing to do
V’lth failure. He who utterly falls and
lies down mocks God, he said. His
exhortation to all was, "Get on the
Job,”

It was the extraordinary pleasure
of all Nonpareils and Euthalians, on

privilege of hearing Senator A. F.

for a few minutes following lunch. The

Mr. Sams was the first president of
the Euthalian Literary Society which
was founded thirty-five years ago. He
related the unfavorable conditions un
der which the society was conducted
and told with what grim determina
tion they accomplished great things.
A few secrets were told by Mr. Sams
that made every Non. and Eu. even
prouder of the fact that they were
such.
After the short but interesting talk
by Mr. Sams, the charter and former
members of each society were recog
nized. The President of the Euthalian
.Society then asked Mr. Sams If he
woiild present to the society a portrait
of himself; thl.s he kindly consented
to do.
Much spirit and pep were created in
this meeting, and each society purposes
to make more and better progress
during the future thirty-five years than
