DR.. Chancellor Speaks Before Large
Audience at Colored Church.

DR.. William E. Chancellor, superintend-
ent of public schools, delivered an ad-
dress yesterday afternoon before an over
f1oW audience at the Second Baptist
Church, colored, using Some Religious
Aspects of Education as his theme. He
said that not a few studies of the school
are essentially religious, and that the
school is the outgrowth of the church,
and that the teacher came from the priest
and preacher, who hundreds of years ago
taught the young men and women
Defining religion. DR.. Chancellor said:
1T makes US conscious of the fact that
you and 1 are feliow-men; that we are
equal. 1t is the antidote of oligarchy and
much interested in one another. 1t makes
us self-corrected, seif-critical, and 1t makes
us stop to think about ourselves.
\"Education.' he said. "is the discovery
of these truths. Religion teaches the es-
sential worth of every soul. 1t teaches.
contrary to business. the absolute equality
of man and woman. 1t teaches the equal
ity of US as sons of Cod
DR.. Chancellor was given a most COM
plimentary introduction to his auditors.
Rev. w. Bishop Johnson, pastor Of the
church. in introducing him, said: This
is the gentleman who has added in a sig
nificant manner to the advancement of
education in the District of Columbia
DR.. Chancellor gave a definition OF
school studies in his address, saying:
Physiology is religious study, or rather
the motive that underles the study of
physiology. The body is the temple of the
soul and physiology teaches how to take
care of the body. History is dictated by
religion 1t is essentially religious study.
because the hand of the Lord is visible in
every step of history. 1t shows how God
works in the world. Literature is essen
TALLY religious study. 1t tells how our
fellow-men feel about life. The three
studies physiology history and literature
are an illustration of the influence religion
has on school studies
He concluded by saying that education
teaches us how to sail toward the goal
Thousands of years ago. he said, "the
Greeks learned how to sail against the
wind they learned it after many trials
and experiments and were successful

Two stories: Here is young man.
There have been sacrifices at home to en-
able him to go to the university. He is
in the old swimming hole and his father
Is watching his strong strokes. Suddenly
the father sees his son caught by the cur
rent and carried toward the jagged rocks
Quickly the father throws himself into
the stream, and. catching his son. holds
him away while he himself strikes the
rocks and becomes deformed for life.
Next we see the son on the college ath-
letic field and a crowd of students around
him see a deformed old man walking slow
ly through the gate.
Why did they let that old guy in?'
asked one of the boys. And the son does
not reply, but sneaks around a back way
to the office, where he knows he must
meet his father. He didn't reply to the
jeering remark:
That is my father. and he got those
injuries saving my life.
You say hard things about that SON.
How about those nail prints through the
hands, those spear pricks, those thorn
bruises on Christ who received them for
you?
Here is another young man, who comes
from a humble home. His mother had
rubbed off her finger nails, nearly, to give
her son an education. 1t Is the commence
ment night and the boy insists that his
mother attend.
But l haven't anything to wear but a
shawl she replied.
But the boy pins the shawl on her and
takes her to a good seat in the crowded
auditorium. He has received high honors
and the medal is pinned on his coat. Does
he wait for the plaudits of the crowd? No
See him walking down the aisle to where
his mother is sitting, and he takes the
medal off his coat and pins it on her
shawl
There, mother. is the reward for your
work, he says

added to the church after it has gone
peacefully on it's way for eighteen hun
dred years OF more" In conclusion Dr.
johnson said: This is a great mistake,
for foremost among the great purposes of
the church Is the mission and its work.
