Mr.. Rogers said in part on Educa.
tlon for Business: The Importance that
business has assumed in this country
was tersely expressed by the Hon.
James Bryce during his recent visit to
the United States in these words: "In
America business is king. At other
times, the oratory of such men as
CLAY, Calhoun, Webster, Douglas and
Lincoln swayed the people and to use
Mr.. Bryces' expression oratory was
king,
| The same is true of our denomina.
tion. There was a time when the
oratory and logic of such men as
Nathan V. Hull, VIM. B. Maxson,
Geo. B. Utter and other was the domin-
! ating influence of our denominational
affairs. But to-day the business man
is taking more prominent part than
ever before.
The future of Alfred and Milton
depends more upon the business men
who manage their affairs than upon
| the teachers who instruct their classes.
You can no more run school without
funds than you can without instruo.
tion. but if you have the funds you
can secure the instruction.
Business has a much wider scope
| than merely financial profit. The
business man of to-day must be a man
of strong physical and nervous power
| capable of leading a strenuous life, he
must be man of good character and
have a we'll trained mind. The man
who would succeed in business must
be keen sighted and level. headed.
That is, must be observant and have
the ability to see things as they are,
and not as they ought to be.
Good health may be better than
genius or wealth. It was when the
gymnasium had made each Athenian
youth an Apollo in health and strength
that the Greek race reached their
highest attachments in art, literature
and philosophy.
1T is religion man needs, not cul.
ture in itself. The birthplace of
modern civilization is not Athens, but
Calvary. Religion is for the highest
in man and is to bring everything in
him to it's highest. Religion not as a
mere moral code. but as an experience
and life is the very crown of all edu.
cation.
| The original meaning of the word
educate is to lead out as you would
lead horse out of the stable prepara.
tory to use. But you cannot lead out
horse where no horse lists, nor can
a college make a business man out of a
person where there is no basis of edu-
cation.
What is wanted in the business and
professional world is not simply a
man with sheepskins, but men who
can do something.
The Importance OF education or
training for business or professional
life of any kind cannot be too highly
emphasized, especially for Seventh
Day Baptists.
Profit and Loss by Paul P. Lyon
was masterly oratorical effort. Mr..
Lyon spoke without paper and gave
one of the most effective addresses Of
the session. Strong in his own life
and work as Seventh Day Baptist he
has rare way of extending that
strength in his speaking and writing.
| Shiloh: Aug. 49, The conference
program was changed Friday in more
ways than one. The little shower in
the early morning was very acceptable
and much appreciated as it settled the
dust.
The meeting opened at a. m. with
Bible Study, Redemption in the Old
Testament. by Rev. L. A. Platts; 300.
Conference in Committees. 1t is in
these committees that the real earnest
work of the people shows. They open
| their hearts and speak honestly and
freely their ideas as to what is best
for them as people
| The sermon of the morning was
masterly effort by Rev. W. O. Deland,
1.-THE Life in Christi Denominations
and Sects-Their Origin and Their
Proper Sphere. In the midst of the
discourse there was downpour of
rain equal to a cloudburst. Such
floods of water came in the new tent
that every one had to put up their UNI
