Farmer. Hankins thought that Agatha

settled Farmer Hankins' argument on
the point. 1t was fact that his farm
was destitute of springs. SO that when,
as always happened in summer during

Old Farmer Hankins stood looking
down in evident disgust at the water

placed in his barnyard by order of the
officials Of the little town of Milldale
Not a drop of water came through the
faucet, although it was wide open

To this Farmer Hankins replied that
if be chose he might take the law
and wallop him as much as he

While sitting on Farmer Hankins'
fence he had argued with the old man
the greater part of a whole day on the
wonderful benefit it would be to the
people Of the village and that Farmer
Hawkins could not do anything better
that would bring him so many friends.
In fact, he would become a public ben
efactor. The village was poor and
could not very well afford to go to any
great expense in the matter of paying
for the right of way. However, all ar
gument was useless, said Farmer Han
kins The farmers were always being

Farmer Hankins she rode over to the

today that both the Emperor and Dow

save the Chinese Empire from an ag-

NEED COLLEGE
OF RELIGION
DR.. Johnston, Speaks Before
M. E. Preachers Secular
College Inadequate

More than ordinary interest was
aroused at the meeting Of the NJ E.
Preachers Association in Union
Church this morning by a paper by the
Rev DR.. Hugh Johnston. Of the
women's College. Baltimore. on Are
Denominational Schools still a Neces-
sity?" DR.. Johnston's answer to his
own question was most decidedly in
the affirmative. The so-called practi-
cal education Of the secular school,
with its application to the head rather
than to the heart, was emphasized as
most convincing indication Of the ne
cessity for the denominational college
which, he declared was never more
needed than to-day. DR. Johnston did
not deny the high standard of intelli-
gence in America to-day as the fruit
Of the great secular colleges, had as
high standard Of integrity
In the discussion that followed the
paper. the Rcv. James T. Prouse
caused not a little surprise when he
questioned the worth of the denomina-
tional college as compared with the
state or secular college. The work OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. in the secular colleges
was mentioned as an offset to religions
Indifference. while he did not hesitate
10 assert that the denominational col
leges themselves sometimes were hot
beds Of the higher criticism and the
new theology"
The Rev. DR. A. 5. Mowbray' dis
trict superintendent, also recognized
this danger in denominational schools
as well as i'm secular schools. But
he aid. "where religious indifference OF
Biblical criticism in the secular col
lege attracts little notice and does mt
tie HARM the same thing in denom-
national school is disastrous. 1t seems
to me that the danger that besets the
denominational college is its tendency
to seek the aid of state schools tol
teachers. / believe that some method
needs to be adopted whereby greater
care may be taken as to the teachers
in our denominational schools
DR.. Johnston was given rising vote
of thinks for his paper. The deVo-
tional exercises were led by the Kew
