Ainsworth’s tour through the state in behalf of Wes leyan College is meeting with unus ual success. In Augusta yesterday he secured contributions amouting to over $2,000 to the. endo ment fund for ihe institution. The Au gusta Chronicle says: Bishop James Atkins filled the pulpit of St. John’s in the morning and that of St. Janies’ at night, presenting the Greater Wesleyan campaign at both services. Follow ing the sermons of the bishop, Rev. W. N. Ainsworth, president of the college, succinctly presented the conditions of the campaign and took a collection, the sum of $2,000 being realized. The bishop took for Ins text at the morning hour, Luke 18:23: "He was very sorrowful, for he was very rich.” The bishop said this was an unusual staternen 1 , because the biography of the man who sor rows because of his wealth had nev er yet been written, either in the Bilile or out of it. He stated, how ever, that there was a real connec tion between his sorrow and his riches. "Money making,” said the speak er, "is as much a talent as any oth er endowment of God and must be used for the extension of the king dom of heaven.” The stewardship of money was forcefully and elo quently presented .as a necessary means to the dignifying of all life and service. The bishop’s sermons were heard by large and apprecia tive congregations. Bishop Atkins and Dr. Ainsworth leave Augusta today and continue their tour which embraces the cities and towns of Georgia and Florida, in the interest of the Wesleyan col lege. The next commencement is the 75th anniversay of the founding of Wesleyan and the authorities are working in an endeavor to raise $300,003 to maintain the college and to enlarge it. Wesleyan is deserv ing of all the people of Georgia ai d Florida can do in her interest and she is dependent on these dioceses for support. It is believed that she has done her part in the education of the daughters of the South, being the oldest female college in this country and the first female college empowered in its charter to deliver degrees upm its graduates. About $205,000 of the required sum has been raised and it is hoped that by commencement time, when Wesleyan will celebrate her 75tli anniversary, the balance will have been raised.
