Caleasiea Congregational Association on
Lake Charles College,

Lake 5llafleS N3llege,
Articles have recently appeared in
some Of the city papers, which seem to
cast reflection upon members Of our
association, and force US to make the fol-
lowing explanation to the public;
The Calcasieu Congregational Associa-
tion embraces, IN its membership, every
Congregational minister and delegates
from every church in this parish.
Lake Charles College is Congrega-
tional institution. 1t is, and has always
been, supported by the benevolent funds
Of Congregationalists. 1t is enrolled by
the Congregational Educational Society
in its Published list Of colleges, aided or
supported by it. Collections are publicly
taken in most of our churches for these
colleges. 1t is common all through the
United States for these colleges to be
considered under the fostering care of
the local Congregational Association.
They are expected to watch over them,
to aid them by their prayers, their in
terest, and their protection. Lake
Charles College is dear to us, and it is
our earnest desire to promote its growth

see that its progress is not impeded, and
that its funds are indiciously expended.
