"CHRISTlAN PATRIOTISM"
SuhIe,l Of Discourse BY President Frost Of Berea
CoIaus In C,nlraI conprsgao,a Church.

DR.. william Goddell Frost, president
Of Berea college. Kentucky, spoke at
the Central Congregational church last
evening taking for his subject Chris
tian Patriotism" and he said in part:
American patriotism must be larg-
er, more comprehensive, and more
generous thing than the patriotism OF
any other nation, because it must cover
a wider area and a more varied popu-
lation New England has always had
a multitude OF noble men and women
who have said their prayers with the
map OF the whole United States before
Their eyes. They have sought out the
" eak and the destitute; they have dis
covered I'm remote frontier communities
the places f coming power, and nave
planted their benefactions there.
''T'he result OF this is that New Eng
land ideas have possessed the land anu
we are some times told that this work
Of Christian education has been over
done. II Is true that some unimportant
schools ask for our help, and sonle So
called colleges and universities have
been founded where there was little
need for them. But on the whole the
money invested in such enterprises mas
been well spent. What we need to do
is TO give more careful attention 10
these matters. The commercial clubs
of Eastern cities often go 90 he West
and South 60 study the investments IN
these regions. In the same way Chris
tian business men ought TO visit the
dcstltutc parts Of the country and hnd
out for themselves what schools ought
to be aided We should give 90 the
cause cf Christian education not less
money. but more thought"
President Frost was educated az
ObeIlin. Harvard and Gottingen and
is very individual speaker He will
speak at the congregational club ban
quet tonight. and his subject Will be
"Our Contemporary Ancestors in the
Southern Nourtalns.'

Each OF the 20 members will be ex-
pected To subscribe $500 as a guarantee
toward the financial success of the
work, and then go ahead with the lay

The annual meeting OF the association
