Correspondence of The Rowwi Record. r -
From the eleventh through Jihe
twentieth of this month was held
the regular Y. ;M- CV A confer
ence for Southern colfege students
at Montreat,' N. C, and, at the
closing session Sanday night,
many of the delegates gave , ex
pression to the fact that the con
fer9oce had been of inestimable
value to them.
Here gather eyary summer stu
dents from all the unversities and
many of the colleges of the South
to spend ten days of ideal life.
Each man is a friend to every oth
er man because they are there for
& common purpose and the fr-e
and intimate association, which
thus results, with good men from
all over the South, has.. a broaden
ing influence that is' very benefi
cial. The deep spirituslity of the
coTiference, mingled with whole
8 3 me fun and college rivalry,
raises one's ideas tf life .and
brightens his; outlook up n ' its
pathway. Its true value, howev
er, lies in tho fact that a student
seems never o torget the impres
sions made upon his life duriug
the short time spent in the atmos
phere of true Christian fellowship
Its spirit was one of fairness, and
this impressed everyone favorablyJ
and forcibly. No undue pressure
was brought to bear upon the del
egates, at a time when- this would
be possible, either to enter the
mmistery or the foreign field
The purpose of the. leaders being
not to draw incompetent men into
these fields, but rather tc teach
every man to decide the problem
of his life's work upon right prin
ciples. , Along side this was writ
ten the message that true religion
consists not only in obeying the
laws of God. but of close compan
ionship with a living Savior.
' We are glad to report that the
delegation of twenty from the as
sociation at the University outnum
bered any other delegation by sev
en men. When I think ox the
spirit the men manifested while
there, and the religious .atmos
phere of the University as it is
there came to mind the-objections
that were offered several summer?
ago to my becoming a student at
the University. Unfortunately
there has been circulated through
out the State the idea that the
spirit of the University is irrelig
ious; on the contrary, no institu
tion in the State expects a more
positive influence ' for Christian
life than Carolina's University.
If the" work of the Y. M. C. A., as
its religious organ, is a fair index
to existing conditions, let me say
it is second to none in the South,
save that -of the University of
Texas, the Christian spirit is
nothing but salutory. The cafea-
loane for 1909-10 , says : "The
Young Men's Christian Associa
tion with its centrally located
house as a meeting place and
home for the students ; with its
work for new students; with its
social receptions ; with handbooks,
directory and calendar published ;
with its lyceum course; with its
igh Sunday schools supported;
with its semi-weekly religious
meetings; with its ministered and
missionary clubs; with 260 mem
bers ; with its 125 men enrolled in
mission study ; with its 350 men
enrolled in bible study ; the Young
men's Christian Asso c i a t i o n
through these channels is an or
ganized agency for usefulness in a
terially in the, University life." .
In order to be of service td the
aew students the association con
ducts a bureau of information in
its tent at University station,
while a similar one is conducted
in the association building at
Chapel Hill. A sufficient numberi . . , , .. 4
: . . '.other prominent local capitalists
of men will be kept at- the latter
place to aid new students in se
lecting and. finding boarding
houses, .desirable rooms, arrang
ing courses, registering, etc.

friend desires any information
about the University, write to E

SALISBURY M0URNSr;
Death Lajs Its Caid Hand Upon 0D6 of
Salisbury's Greatest and Host Loved
Citizens.'
Rev : F: J. Murdoch, D. D., died
in CharlBtorj, S.C;, early Tuesday
morning, and the news of his death
which greeted citizens as they, left
UUDll uuiusg UUU uaulD UUWLI IUWU
was received with astonishment
and profound sorrow It wasprop
bably not generally known that
Dr. Mnrdcch has been in rathet
feeblefiealth for seme time, hav
ing been troubled witb an heart
affection. - In the latter part of
last week he; with Mrs. Murdoch,"
went to Charleston, he being call
ed there on some matter - of busi
ness connected with the estate of
his lately deceased brother. He
was taken ill before arriving at
his destination, and when he
reached Charleston he was'convey
ed to a hospital where' he received
prompt medical attention and
careful nursing: His condition
for awhile on Saturday and Sat
urday night.was such as to cause
much alarm to his family and his
friends here. Frequent communi
cation was held with Charleston
by telephone and just before noon
Sunday Dr. Murdoch was able
to go to the telephone in his room
and talk to his daughter. Mrs .
Chas. Bell, at his home here. It
was the impression last evening
among citizens generally that Jbis
condition was quite favorable, and
the expressions were universal
that he would soon be able to re
turn'home. But this was not to
be, as the spirit of the loved and
esteemed man took its flight about
1 :00 Tuesday morning.
The deceased was born in Bun
combe county, N. C , in 1845 and
wasMn his 64th year. He was or
dained as deacon in the Episcopa
cnurcn in looa. in ioy ne was
ordained to the preisthood by
Bishop Atkinson. He came to
Salisbury in 1870 as Rector of St
Luke's church and on next Sun
day would have celebrated the 89th
anniversary1 of his assumming the
rectorship of St. Luke's church.
In a brief notice of this sort,
prepared just as the, paper is go
ine t" press, full justice cannot
be done to 'the character, worth
and anility or tne deceased, and
thnt mast be left for a later issue
It is sufficient to say at this time
that in point of ability Dr. Mur
doch had few equals ,and no su
periors in the theological field
in addition to tnis ne was a man
of marked business ability,- and
his less, in this particular a'one,
is a distinct p3rsonal one to all of
his ma ny associates.
Th- remains reached Salisbury
Wedaeaday a. m. and were carried
to home of tho deceased. The fuu
ernl wis held from. St. Lake's
churuli, of which hejhad been rec
tor for so many years, Wednesday
-VHning at o o cJock, and tne m-
Luroifcuti was at the Chestnut Hil
cmetpry. The tuneral Bervices
ere conducted by Bishop Ches
hii'e, assisted by Reve. S S. Bo t,
"f Durham, and R. B. Owens, of
Rocky Mount, N. C., in the pres
ence of large audience, many out
of town clergymen, friends a d
business associates being in at

The teudereBt sympathy of the
