recommendations, as follows: First,
that the society cooperate with Presi-

and endowment for Berkeley Bible

the $4,000 necessary to complete the
Chapman students aid fund; third,
that the four trustees of Pomona col
lege from the Christian church, c. c.

Regret was expressed that closer re-

the near future money might be Sc
cured for buildings and an endowment
for a college of the Christian churches

The Rev r. P. Haley of Kansas City,
Mo. spoke on "The Problems of City
CHARACTERIZATION" DR.. Peter Ainslee
talked on "Religion in the Home" at
the auditorium last night He said in
part:
Home is where our religious life is
to begin. God is there. Religion is
needed in the kitchen. The day will
seem dreary if you start with badly
cooked breakfast. 1t is poor policy to
pay a chaplain to stand in the senate
or the house of representatives and
family altar is the bulwark of the ma
tion's safety. Home here is but the
prophecy of the home beyond.
IF you have lost the vision of home
you can regain it by obedience, If you
have never had the vision you can get
it by surrender"
In the devotional service this morn
ing Rev. Robert Grieve of Glendora read
the scripture lesson, and Prof. P. O.
Gates sang "The Health of the Sour
