DIR. KILGo's ADDRESS.
On account of DIR. Kilgo having an
engagement to speak in Reidsville
Wednesday night, he was put Oh the
program Tuesday night. His subject
was "How can the Colleges OF
School Cause?" He spoke for an
hour or more and his address was
along the same line of his lecture on
| Christian education. The Doctor is a
strong and entertaining speaker.
| When a boy is trained right he will
| love his Bible, Sunday School, Church
| and God, and will fulfill his duties as
| a church member. He was glad that
the world is coming to the College
doors and making demands upon them
to teach the boys and girls to love and
serve God.
He wanted to emphasize the fact
that there are real men and forces in
Christian Colleges. He asked: Why
should you deny your College men tC
speak on any subject when the coun
try is stirred on political and othel
subjects? Why not come out, continu
ed the speaker, and lay a calming
hand on the fevered country. Manl
| of the men who keep up this excite
ment do it to float themselves into
job. He was in favor Of the ministr.
speaking out in politics and th'
church solving national as well a
ancient problems.
If the College has the right to de
stroy it ought to have the power t
save boy.
He mad no patience with the Col
lege or men who are always trying t
, make excuses for mistakes. College

f in Christ-ought to be unshaken, ae
f gressive and possess a consecrate
: faith.

If the college is ever worth an
