Chirstian EndeavOr Society Resents
His appointment on n Committee.
The Society of Christian Endeavor of
the First Baptist church, at Oakland,
Cal, rendered its resignation to the
Christian Endeavor union the other
night, owing to the presence on a COM
mittee of Theodore Gier, liquor mer-
chant. Gier is regarded as a public
spirited citizen, and when a committee
was selected to take charge of the cele-
bration of the National Endeavors on
July 13, he was one of the first men
named. The committee made him
chairman of the subcommittee on
finance, and he has been actively at
work. A few days ago a resolution was
circulated among the city unions. 1t
recited that man engaged in the liquor
business and opposed to the interests
of the churches had been appointed a
member of the committee to take
charge of the Endeavor celebration.
and then made a formal tender of res
ignation. The resolution was passed by
the society of the First Baptist church.
The resignation went back to the So
ciety with request that it be recon-
sidered.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Urbana UIlJ Pastor VIII Inaugurate
Something UniQue

something Unique.
DR.. E. c. Towne, pastor of leading
church at Crbana, contiguous to the
Illinois, State university, proposes to
make new departure in Sunday min
istry in the form of a Sunday instruc-
ton society, designed to secure atten-
ton in church work to knowledge as of
equal Importance with spiritual cul-
ture. He will hold an afternoon service
without religious exercises for instruc-
tion in history, literature, science and
human, progress shown in current
events. DR.. Towne believes that Ameri-
can history is of greater significance
than Hebrew, and next Sunday after
noon he will begin course of popular
lectures on the voyages, discoveries and
paintings of colonies from 1920 to 1920,
which added India and America to the
world of commerce and made North
America English and Protestant in
stead of Spanish and Catholic.
The present year begins the four
hurdredth anniversary of John Cabot
discovery of North America, and DR..
Towne especially intends to show the
mistake made by common history in
seeing only Spain and Columbus in the
discovery of America. He purposes, in
fact, to throw out Spain and Columbus
and to give the honors to Portugal, Eng
land and the Morse for everything of
America except the islands to which
Columbus gave the false name of "West
Indies"

One of Gen. Grants greatest victories

concessions to those ciamoring fol-

bill was not all political. Many timid
business men urged the president to
sign the bill in order to 'stopagitation. j"
In this trying situation President Grant
showed patriotism wholly above parti.

financial principles, unobscured by
.short-sighted notions of immediate
business eXpediency.

it would produce imitation. THE the
