Rev. j. B. Cochrane cheerfully admit
| ted the good work of the Christian En-
deavor Union, but thought that there
was need of the Baptist union and work
for it to do without interfering with the
INSTRUMENTATION meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Whittemore though that if
the Baptist unions were in any way to
interfere with Observation-Disclosures COM
ity and the Y. P.S. C.E., that the Baptists
themselves would vote the plan down.
Another thing to be guarded against was
the changing over Of Endeavor societie
to Baptist union. He knew OF a case
where a pastor had ordered such
change. The change was made aud the
society died. Mr.. Whittemore wanted
all these things considered before this
movement was entered upon.
EVENING ADDRESSES.
Last evening, Rev. DIR. Burrage pre-
sided. While the audience gathered,
Rev. Drew 7. Wyman led the singing.
After an opening prayer by Rev George
Berry of rreeport, Rev. Dr.. G. d. B. Pepper,
ex president of Colby, was introduced.
He began with some pleasant remarks
about President Whitman, for whom
thereAwas work at Wateryille for the
next rs years. If, at the end of ten
years, it should be advisable to send hin,
to Washington as President Of the Unit.
ed States, he would have, by that time.
created at Colby such system and or
ganization that he might be spared.
DIR. Peppers address was upon the rela-
tions of the schools to the Christian
ministry. Our higher education rests
upon tie Christian or Biblical concep-
ton of God. To keep this conception
pure is a difficult task, even iii Christian
dom. Glittering pantheism has even
invaded the Baptist church. The Chris.
tian ministry is keeping in place the
only foundation of higher educatio n. by
keeping in Its place the personal idea Of
God.
President b. L. Whitman was next in
rroduced. He said that in. these DAYS
education WAS becoming more popular
More people were thinking Of higher ed
cation, which is becoming more accessi-
BILE each year. AT Kicker Institute, at
Houlton, and at Higgins Institute at
Charleston, in this state, students
total expenses for year can be defrayed
by S1C0. At Colby University itself, the
charges are very low, not because the
education is cheap. but because the en-
dowment of the institution is used for
the benefit Of the students. For every
dollar paid by the student the college
spends three. The university received
last year $40, 600 from It's students, and
1T expended upon them $4,000. There
is on the part of the students great
interest and enthusiasm. The
entering class are so in number
when only 60 were expected. The
chapel SIS crowded. The new spapers
have beensactiye in creating a story Of
great goings on at Colby on the part Of
the students. I have had to come here
to learn these things. We have not heard
anything about them at Waterville.
Dr. Whitman then proceeded TO a general
discussion of the objects and methods Of
the education of today.
At the conclusion of President Whit
mans address, Raw f, r. Hazlewood
presented resolution expressing high
appreciation of President Within an. and
the earnest.hope that he would feel ID
his duty to remain at the head of Colby
University. The resolution was adopt-
ed By unanimous vote and with muc b
applause.
Rev Mr.. Ford of Eastport offered the
closing prayer.
