Let Conferences Own the
Colleges.
Continued from First Page.)

great competing institution in the same
place, the State Normal, the college last
year had as many pupils as it had when
the State Normal was established. The
patronage from the city of Greensboro
was especially fine. So we cannot take
the closing of the doors of Greensboro
Female College as an indication that the
Methodists of North Carolina are ready
to give up their chief institution for wo-
men.
"And now since this resolution has been
introduced to show a willingness ON the
part of the Raleigh District to rally to the
aid O" our chief female educational insti-
tuition, as a member of this conference,
support it with all my heart.
The resolution was adopted without a
dissenting vote.
Rev. G. F. Fisher preached the opening
sermon yesterday morning at II O'Clock.
In the afternoon addresses were made by
Revs. J. H. Shore and J. d. Pegram on
missions. DR.. Iyey preached on the same
theme at night.
This morning reports were heard from
the Raleigh pastors on the conditions and
needs of the Sunday schools.
Rev. N. f. Coltrane preached on
Parental Obligation in the Religious In
struction of Children.

CHURCH CAN CONDUCT 1T.

The bulk of the Methodists of thc
State view with great regret the sugges-
ton that Greensboro Female College shall
be closed as a Methodist educational in
stitution. The interview with a promi-
nent Methodist in yesterdays paper urging
that it be not closed until the matter
can be brought before both the Confer
ences, struck a responsive chord. II the
church is brought face to face in the
annual conference in December with the
surrender of its Oldest educational insti-
tuition, with its useful career, it will find
a way or make a way to hold the insti-
tuition.
When that question came up in the
Episcopal Convention as to st. Marys
School in Raleigh, the Episcopalians saved
their great school. The Methodists will
do the same if the matter is presented to
them with the college open.
A sIayman'' writing to the North Car
DINA Christian Advocate this week writes
the following:
ITO the Methodists of North Carolina
"As a iayman, / wish to suggest that
we cannot afford to see Greensboro Fe-
male College closed permanently. To
avoid this propose that the present own
ers be relieved of the burden of carrying
this institution, and that it be assumed
by all the Metnodists of the State. Let
an endowment fund of 100000 be raised
by issuing endowment certificates in the
denomination of $500 each. This will
carry the bonded Indebtedness and furnish
sufficient income to meet the deficits "a
they have occurred in the past. Scores
of laymen will join in this, and all the
Alumnae will join heartily in such
movement. This suggestion is made on
the presumption that the present owners
will be willing to turn the property over
to the church for the amount of its m
debtedness.'
Since the above was in type we have
received the resolutions adopted at the
Raleigh District Conference. now in SEES
sion at Louisburg, urging the church to
hold on to Greensboro Female College.
That will be the universal voice of North
Carolina Methodists. To surrender It's
chief educational institution for women,
in this day of educational progress, would
be step backward that would not be
characteristic OF militant Methodism.

TALKING 1T OVER.

The Century.
shoemaker in little New England
valley displays a sign on the top of his
shop bearing the following inviting Ian
guage: WALK IN AND TALK IT
OVER. 1t Is an announcement that has
more OF timehness and general application
than may have originally occurred to the
displayer of the sign. The gettogether"
and "talk-it-over" method is having a
remarkable vogue nowadays. 1t was con-
spicuously present in the Worlds Congress
of Religions at the Chicago Columbian
Exposition. 1t is used by those interested
in social progress. 1t is at the basis of the
various schemes for Cancellation between
capital and labor. 1t is the backbone of
the international arbitration movement.
Mr.. Carnegie's proposed Palace of Peace
at The Hague being merely commodious
and agreeable place where the nations of
the world may walk in and talk it over
IN the most convenient and dignifed man
ner-in this case a highly civilized and
truly Christian substitute for the old
fashioned. romantic, corpse-decorated bat
tlefield. where the nations, instead, walk
ed in and fought it over.
The "talk-it-over. in place of the
"fight-it-oyer, method, implies a higher
state, not merely of manners and morals.
but also of human intelligence, as illus
trated by the story told the other day in
the South of a colored servant who, re
ferring to the Civil War, remarked that,
as the. white folks hadn't intelligence
enough to settle the question peaceably.
they had to go and fight it out.
One Of the most interesting modern ex-
amples of the talking over method is the
series of annual conferences on Education
in the South. with which the name of
Mr. Robert G. Ogden is prominent. The
sixth was held recently in Richmond. the
capital of Virginia and the former capital
of the Southern Confederacy. The valu-
able and instructive talking over" on
this occasion. between representatives of
various parts of the North and OF the
South. was not only upon the public plat
form. but in social intercourse.

And the Republicans, who are max

Ny judgment of life, is that a
man who sees his principle clearly
and pursues it steadily gets the best re-
suits. No hurry, no rush, no scramble
and further. he gets the best results when
he relies more on the great forces that
work with him rather than upon his own
personal effort. In other words, man
does his best when he realizes that there
is power in the world better than himself
