needs,” President Reuben
Holden pointed out. “Warren
Wilson began as a mission
school of the United Presby
terian Church and, at the
outset, faculty members vir
tually volunteered their
services. Although we have
doubled salaries in the last ten
years, we are still behind those
of other small liberal arts
colleges. The faculty, in taking
low salaries, have in effect
been subsidizing the education
of our students.”

Methodists have Lenten
prayer emphasis
Members of Tabernacle and
Swannanoa United Methodist
churches are participating in
the movement to involve one
million Christians in offering
200 million prayers of interces
sion for five million persons
over a forty day period.
The Lenten Prayer and Visi
tation emphasis is sponsored
by the Southeastern Jurisdic
tional Conference Council on
Ministries of the United
Methodist Church. It began
the first Sunday of Lent,
February 20, and concludes
Easter Sunday, April 3.
Many denominations ask
their members to “give up
something” for Lent (the
period when Christians re
member the sacrifice and
death of Jesus), but Rev.
Hayward Morrison says, “our
congregations are being asked
to ‘add something extra’
during this Lenten Season.”
This emphasis is a coordinated
and simultaneous movement
of United Methodists in the
nine Southeastern states.
Individual members are
urge^j to express their confi
dence in prayer and their
concern for persons by doing
three things: (1) Pray every
day during Lent for five
others. (2) Visit those five
persons during Holy Week,
and (3) Encourage those five
persons to become partici
pating church members on
Easter Sunday.
Rev. Hayward Morrison,
pastor and the, congregations
of Tabernacle and Swannanoa
United Methodist churches
cordually invite the public,
friends and members to join
with them during this im
portant and holy time of the
Christian Year.

gets
help
by Margaret Siler
The Easter Seal Society

sponsored by Buiger King.
Both schools did a fantastic
JOO.
Black Mountain Middle
School raised almost $3,500 for
Easter Seals and had both
Regional Winners for Most
Contributions Raised and
Most Baskets Made. ITiis was
the fourth year Black Moun
tain Middle has received this
honor. This year’s winners
were Debbie Reese who raised
$725.46 and Brad Johnson who
made 118 baskets in three *
minutes.
Swannanoa Elementary
participated in the project for
the first time this year and did
an outstanding job. Fifty stu

Easter Seals. Shawn
Buchanan, who raised
$132.15, received the 4th
grade trophy for Most Contri
butions. Ryan Hall, who raised
$121.50, received the 5th

other equipment along with a
special summer camp, hearing
screening tests, summer
speech therapy programs, and
other services for physically
