Several of our students are planning
to hold meetings during the holiday
vacation. About a dozen now have
regular pulpits every Sunday.
Some parties were in town this
week looking at real estate. There
are only two or three houses left for
rent for the winter term. We have
the promise of large number of new
students during the winter term.
We have had a few scholarships,
which are all in use. We know of
several worthy young people who are
not able to get to us who would come
lif someone would pay their tuition,
which is about $50 a year. We have
a young woman with us now who is
working for her board and room rent
and yet has found no way to pay her
tuition. She is very worthy young
woman, If anyone would like to help
any in this direction.
| There have. been a few subscrip.
tions made on our endowment lately
When We SEQ how persistent today all
the denomina. Ions are in their efforts
to endow their colleges we think the
holiness people should take a lesson
| from this. There Is no college in the
country of any order or persuasion
that can be supported by the revenue
from tuition alone. All colleges de.
pend upon outside help and must have
! 1t. The state endows its college, the
denominations are straining every eff.
| fort to endow the church colleges and
the holiness people must do the same
if they wish these institutions to sue,
coed. Central Holiness University
was founded upon faith in God and
God has wonderfully sent the means
thus far to support it and we will trust
God to move upon the hearts of the
people to help US in our endowment
The college was never doing grander
work and our students were never
more interested in spreading holiness,
as may be seen by the many holiness
camp meetings they have conducted
during the past summer.
