Though ' It i required of stewards that a man be found faithful," there are man y who seem to ignore or refu e to meet thi requiremen.t o often s,tated in the Scriptures . George S. Milner read the rule of good stewardship many years ago and n1ade a practice of faithfully fol– lowing th em. Hi part in the rapid growth of Cedarv ille College, from the ti me the Regul ar Baptist took ove r it operation until t1he pre ent hoLtr, ca nnot be overe ti mated. For Stony Glen Camp n1ore than fourteen years he has served a a member of the Board of Tru tees . Duriing most of thi time he was chairman of the Board , and now has been giv,en the perman– ent po ition of Chairman E n1eritus. Throu.gh the years he and hi wife h ave prayed dail y for t,he college and given acr ificial ly not only to help maint a in its operation, but also to provide additional faci lities for the convenience of the tudent . He has directed young people to enrol l and thu pur tie a Christian education. He ha encouraged pastor and the members of the ir churche to up– port Cedarvill e by praye.r and acri– ficia l giving. All of us who make up the Cedar– ville College fami ly, including tru - tee , adn1ini tration, faculty, tudent and graduate owe much to Brother George . Milner. Through the year. he ha been a good friend and a wi e coun elor. Since he ha erved f r the glory of 1od with a concern for the alvation of the lo t and the bl ing of od'. people, in thi tribute we con1n1end hin1 to the prai of the Lord Whon1 he crve . It i t1r prayer that C,od may give Brother Milner continu d phy ical trength ancl many n1orc opportt1nitie to per- onally t . tify of the r ality a11(i hie~ ing of the l..ord in his O\.\ n life. ...
