Do we want the Re-1 formed Church to die in North Carolina? Or do we want the Reformed Church in North Carolina to live? If our fore fathers fifty years ago thought we need ed a Catawba College, do you think there i« still a need for the grand old institution? Some one said the other day, “Let Catawba College die and the Reformed Church in North Carolina will "die by degrees, not in a year, not in ten J years, but gradually we would get snial- 1 ler anik weaker, until we would be swal lowed up by some other denomination.” Did our forefathers make sacrifices for the college? Os course they* did; more than we will be asked to make. Why did we decide to move from Newton to Salisbury? To answer briefly we were practically in bank ruptcy. In the move to Salisbury we get a new building .that has never been used and 43 acres of land. We get more in the center of- the Reformed Church in North Carolina. We will be surrounded by five counties that do not have an “A” grade college. Salisbury offers us property worth $200,000 for a little over $40,000. Many other insti tutions of learning have changed loca tions in times past when it ,\vas thought to be fore the beet interest of the insti tution. I could name Trinity Metho dist. Franklin and Marshall, ITrsinus School of Theology. Catawba College has meant much to us. She has furnished G."> of the Gospel to our Reformed Church. Besides Ve have graduated many minis ters for other denominations as well as scores and hundreds of other young men and women who have gone out to fill very responsible vocations in life. Here' is a college which has served the denomi nation well in its capacity as a mission ary institution, training young men and women for service in the world. If by moving the school we can do better, and win more students, and get more recogni tion and new life in the work, who will hesitate to say "I wish the new col lege Godspeed.” Every one should be quick to say ‘‘Let's go forward.” "What is the plan by which we hope to put this new Catawba College on a firm basis? We have made a small pay ment on the new building at Salisbury in order to hold it and bind the trade until October Ist. then we hope to take over the- property by making full pay ment. The plan is to raise a sum of $400,000 as an endowment in order to make it a full “A” grade college. This is the plan : sir>o,ooo in North Carolina Cl ass is outside of Salisbury : $50,000 in Salisbury, and $200,000 among the Re formed church of the North and West. The campaign in the North Carolina Classis for $150,000 is beginning now and will continue for six weeks, so that by the last Sunday in September we will have every dollar of the $150,000 for the Classis 'subscribed. Every man and woman will be given a chance to do his or her part. “Boost—don’t knock.” This is a Christian college. “Treat all College was founded many years ago. and dedicated to a high and holy purpose. With the new buildings that we hope to see go up. and with heads erect and hearts true, we hope to see the new Ca tawba College ready for the tasks which the new day will bring to her. Now is your time. Every minister should preach Catawba College from the pulpit. Every man and woman 'should be planning how to givp his largest pos sible gift to this worthy cause. It is the proud hope of this college that it can take boys arnTgirls from our homes, traiu them for Christian leadership, and turn them back to their own. fitted for leadership in their church and state SHFFORD PEELER.
