Christianity 10 tbe miRhtiest educator
IN the world She does not clip the
wings OF reason, or put its eyes ont, or
close It With Ignorance. She surely
guides its niRht 10 lofty nights. Chris
tan IN It's very childhood. pressed into
the very sanctuary os the mother phiIo-
sopay. No natio0 ever really under
stood education until led on by Chris
tianity. Her appointed task Is educa-
ton The great colleges Of the coun-
Try mostly originated in the desire for
. more prOuounesd religions tenieaog.

IL is an expensive production. There
must be libraries and other OUTLAWS,
which cost large sums. IL this hiss
been done in Older States, yet il was the
work of generations. Many receive
the aid Of the state, which ID never de
MED. Colleges obey the great Law of
nature, "Be fruitful and multipI :"
The great majority Of the 365 colleges,
ETC., mentioned in reports Of education,
are without libraries, instruments, or
necessary appliances.
In 1852 Q graft xas made to colleges.
In tye years, in tventy-tgo States,
9600, 600 acres, or one tenth OF the Ma
tionai doaiaia, we're thus turned over.
Over half the $60,OO0,000 nov in the
fund has been dlnated. Of lands sold,
not less than $237 .O00. 600 voald accrue
as q general fund for State schools.
Has IL not occurred that feeble institn-
tions of leaning pat themselves into
antageuism 10 pablo edueationf Con
cenfrati0a and cooperation some one
says. Higher education 10 not safe as
administered by State institutes. Only
a step remains to the Pspacy. From
the State the church received its edusa
tional impulse. But We must have
schools or fall 20 the rear in educational
race. IL seems to me that the work Of
deBominat:onal schools is more sectari-
an than Unconstitutional.
/ believe Christians are to diffuse
their influence through all metho 9, bot
there 10 nothing peculiarly religious
Aboat mathematics, science or history.
All proper denominations will be aided
By State schools. IL must bs confessed
that anti-feligious tendencies In State
schools have also occurred elsewhere.
We want broad thinkin , not sectarian
preselytinG. State institutions have
come 20 stay. II We refass 90 aid them
ws make them goddess. II State educa-
tton is dangerous We must oppose pri
mary and higher schools. Protestants
are hardly ready TO do this. Let rs then
declare our attachment 10 the primary,
secondary and advanced public educa-
tion.
If denominations desire to work let
them take the secondary education.
Let the higher education be committed
20 the stove.
ii, Because colleges require money.
Christians have OF not.
III. Because q Christian denemlna-
ton eaunos maintain proper colleges for |
want Of means they shesld not prevent
the State from doing its best.
After the lecture q recess Of hve min
ates was declared, when the RotRd Ia.

furned largely upon the paper presented. |
Rev. II. l.. Bates, Of Seattle, believed |
thee were too many denominationsl |
schools. yet be believed some Of them
should live In the aess TO come. He |
belleved there vas place for denomi- |
national schools.
Rev. q. j. Burohett, Of McMinnville
Or, took exceptions to Mr. Bates's |
"Chas ter on ireland" He saw q chap |
in an excursion boat, sitting with his |
back 20 his girl, when she said Turn
round here, John, or people will think
we're mad" State education and de-
nominational education have been with
their backs 20 each other. Let them

ooiiegcs Of this continent today are uR-
der the control Of denominationsl men
and women.
Mrs. z. q. Hale vas called upon and
said she Aereed with the. paper and
Mr.. McEsAheFty. DifwortA said the
best wpnAn college 10 Wslissisy, the SEQ
ond Vassar. These are not State
schools. There are only two State in
situations Ia she Union working as first
class. One ef these IA ths Uniyersity of

schools Of medicine would disgrace any
corner grocery. 10 Ia impossible for the
State 20 give liberal education either In
medicine, science, iaw or any thing else.
A man must teach with q gag IN his

The lecture by Rev. W. L. Rugg was
hugely elaborated, esthetie effort,
which carried conviction TO the head Of
tho difierence between formal and real
politeuess. You cannot tell o man By
