Sycamore household for dinner on
the wrong evening, will be play

Joy Putnam, President of the Voluntary Religious Associ
ation, announced last week that Doctor Samuel Wilkes Dendy,
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Dalton, Georgia,
is speaker for the services during Religious Emphasis Week,
which is Nov. 22 through Nov. 24. Activities began Sunday
night in the college auditorium with a buffet supper, af-
ter which Dr. Dendy spoke. Last
night Dr. Dendy met with
the boys at Aycock for a special
discussion on “College Living”
Tonight will bring to a close
the series of services, when the
student body has its annual
Thanksgiving Banquet in the col
lege dining hall.
Doctor Dendy was born in Sen
eca, S. C. He received his A.B.
at Presbyterian College and his
B. D. at Columbia Theological
Seminary. He later received an
Honorary Degree from Presbyter
ian College.
In 1925, Doctor Dendy started
his career as a minister at the
First Presbyterian Church in Co
lumbus, Georgia, as Director of
Christian Education. In 1926, he
moved to Tryon, N. C., where he
served as pastor of two mission
churches. Then in 1928 he came
back to Georgia to serve as pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church in
Cairo, Georgia. After serving there
until 1936, he came to Dalton,
Georgia, as pastor of the First
Presbyterian Church) where he
has served for 17 years.
Doctor Dendy is married and
has one daughter, who is in the

When Doctor Dendy came to

and now ha s a full time Case

tric Social Worker assisting in this
service to the County. A few years
ago, he was given an award by
the Dalton News-Citizen as “Man
of the Year”.
When asked, in a special inter
view by the West Georgian, why
he became a minister, he replied,
“It became evident to me that
God was Heading me to do the
work of a minister. Some doors
I wanted to open would not open;
this door was opened. The years
have confirmed my conviction that
the call was clear and plain that
my best service for Christ and
the Church could be given in the
gospel ministry.”
