dressed by Rev. R. A. Walton, D. D..
one Of the leaders of the Chapman
meeting now in progress in the city.

the difficulty OF doing specific religious
work in q state institution in a country
where church and state are kept dis

present evangelistic efforts are being
carried on by a union OF churches
emphasizing what all have in common,
obviates much Of the difficulty that
would be felt by representative Of

affirmed Is one Of the things that
students, faculty, minister and all
must recognize. Character does not
grow in a vacuum. It must be built
on a foundation, just as an investor
must have capital to begin operations.

sentia1s Of the superstructure DR..

larded with stories many Of which were
quite to the point. His story Of the

until with It's explosion both lie and
the gate were destroyed, allowing Ills
fellows to march in triumphantly, was
I Particularly appreciated as an iliustra-
Monsof courage. 5. - 81
