he spoke in behalf of the American uni
versity Of Washington of which he is
the chancellor. dwelling earnestly up
on the need of Christian education in
the university as well as in the lower
schools in these days of secularism and
natlralism. He arraigned in forceful
fashion those colleges and universities
which were founded by Christian de-
nominations, but which have been
bribed by money to haul down the flag
of the cross. There are rumors of d
great national university at Washing
ton with Carnegin's millions behind it.,
but the Metho(iists will stick to their
purpose to build up this American uni
versity as one of the greatest Christian
and patriotic institutions of the world.
Bishop Hamilton followed his broth

had given Bishop Hearst the first dol
lar subscribed toward this university.
