The Discussion Of the Session Was on
What Does the Denomination Owe to
the Colleges."-A Address by President
Andrews of Brown.
Detroit. Mich. November l5.-A session
OF the Baptist Congress opened today in
Woodward Avenue Baptist church. The
discussion of the morning was what does the
denomination owe to it's colleges and what
do the colleges owe to the denominations
The fist address was by::Rev. B. L. Whit
man president of Colby University of Water
vile, Maine. 1T is too late in the day to
question the right of the denomination to
exist" He So i'd: 1.-THE denomination owes
1t to itself to be true to itself in every par
ticular. 1t is not numbers that make us
strong, but constancy and the Christian
spirit in which we live and thrive. Disciu-
line should be exercised not to the DAMAGE of
the heart. Baptists stand for well marked
faith and we should look we'll to the life of
the denomination as perpetuator of a form
OF q he faith advocated by u.s." He said the
Baptist colleges were suffering from lack
OF money anG in order to do good work
should have more buildings and more men.
There should be unity between the church
and the colleges. The duty of the denomi-
nation to its colleges is its duty to Its own.
The faithfulness Of the colleges to the de-
nomination is faithfulness to themselves.
President Andrews of Brown university
read paper containing practical sug-
eestions on the subject under discussion.
He said the churches should extend Justice
and charity toward the colleges and plenty
OF money. Mr.. Andrews advanced the idea
that by broadening the lines of thought
and teaching in the university the faculty
was accomplishments great public service.
The multiplication of sects and departments
in Christian work. he said, is damaging
many and useless denominations should 90
out of existence.
Short speeches by other delegates closed
the morning session.

ball was given to Fairbanks, who made q
brilliant rush around the left end and,
scored a touchdown in less than
minute. The goal was missed. Bow

On the next kick off Rowdoin got the
ball, and after few rushes. Stubbs carried
from which Fairbanks kicked the goal.

The next play was very pretty one on
Bowdoin's part, and miserable one on the
part of Bates. Bowdoin got the ball from
the kick off and was held for. three downs,
thereupon Fairbanks punted. The ends
rushed down the field. followed closely by
Fairbanks. and as no Bates player had
touched the ball, Hicks ran beyond it and

over the line scoring a touchdown. Goal

Bates's line could not hold Bowdoin's and
was swept aside every time. but after the
runners had broken through several ane
tackles were made by Bates's backs,
especially Douglass.
After the kick off Bates held Bowdoin on
the ten yard line and got the ball, but it
was carried over bates's goal line by Bruce,
and safety was made scoring two for
Bowdoin. Time was called for the FIRST half
with the sc ore "a to o.
Warren took the place of Fairbanks in the
second half. and played strong game. in
this half Bates was determined to score,
and she went into the game with all her
strenth. The darkness greatly assisted her,
for she obtained she ball at the kick off, and
by sending false runners in one direction
and the man with the ball in another, good
gains were made. Bates again made a
safety. scoring two points for Bowdoin.
After few rushes time was called with the
