IVL'rch 27, 1922 No. 9 The Launching One ship drives east and another drives 'west With the selfsame winds that blow; ’Tis the set of the sails And not the gales That tells them the way to go. ffi ’ANY college crafts are launching these days out from small harbors into the ocean of larger purposes, increased activities and more extended service. They are setting sails to stiffer gales than ever they have known. Baldwin-Wallace, at Berea, Ohio, launched its New Day last Sunday, March twenty six. It was the formal beginning of the great undertaking to set the college on a worthy financial foundation. Many people par- ticipated in the launching. It is always a time for serious, sober thinking when one launches on an untried sea. It is a gala occasion, too, even though storms and choppy seas await. But the lauching is prophetic of the safe arrival at a fair haven after the journey. The launching of the New Day was celebrated in many pulpits by the presentation of the thrilling theme of Christian education. The New Day is launched. Sails are set. Winds may be heavy and seas rough, but it is a goodly ship. The authorization of the church is its ballast. The haven is distant but the unfailing Pilot is aboard. With the cooperation and prayer of its believing friends, the New Day will reach port. A Wedding and a Gift HE was tall, slender, with radiant, golden locks. She was what one thinks of as a bride. He was stalwart, broad shouldered, ' forward looking. She was Mary; he was John. Their whole circumference of life was bounded by each other. In southern Ohio they were married. Romance and hopes, ambitions and dreams filled their hearts. That was fifty years ago. They are still bride and groom — this Mary and this John. Her figure is more matronly and her locks are silvered. His figure shows the touch of years and his hair is white. Through half a century they have been good servants of Jesus Christ. Beginning with a small amount of worldly goods, they were thrifty and frugal, with that gift which knows how to take a nickel and grow a quarter in its place. Salaries were never large, but this bride and groom believed they were stewards of God’s property and always acknowledged their stewardship. They invested, added to their holdings and recognized always their obligation to Him whose are the silver and the gold. Last week Mary and John again stepped to the strains of the wedding march, just as fifty years ago, and celebrated the Golden Anniversary of their nuptials on the banks of the Ohio. The bride and groom received many gifts. The most noteworthy one, however, was from them, not to them. For years he has been the devoted treasurer of Baldwin- Wallace College, putting into its welfare his very life and counting nothing sacrifice if only the college might propsper. On the day of this crowning event in their lives, Mary and John, whom the world knows as Doctor and Mrs. J. C. Marting, honored themselves, their college and their Lord with a gift of one hundred thousand dollars to Baldwin-Wallace, which they have loved so sincerely and served so worthily. This Golden Wedding Gift is one of the three pledges of one hundred thousand dollars announced incognito through the recent months. The trustees, faculty, students, patrons and friends of Baldwin-Wallace are especially pleased with this great and generous announcement because of who the donors are, the amount they give, and the spirit in which they give it. Congratulations and all hail to the bride and groom, the golden wed- ding, the golden gift, and the college to which they gave it.
