Discussing RockefeIer's Gifts
At the weekly meeting of the Cur
rent Events class of the Shakespeare
club there was much discussion as to
whether it was right for the Congre-
gational Foreign Missionary board to
take the gift of 100000 from John d.
Rockefeller. The argument which
seemed to find the most supporters was
that the church, if it stood for any
thing, should stand squarely for princi-
pie, and not compromise with evil by
accepting money gained as the Stand
ard Oil company gains its millions.
1t was strongly advocated that every
university, school, library and church
should refuse such gifts, and then such
men will find that they cannot buy the
good will of the people.
