$4,000 Quickly Raised.

At the Educational anniversary of
the Methodist Conference last Thursday
evening, President Samuel Plantz and
Bishop Quayle asked the Conference to
assist in the special effort now being
made to raise 800, 900 toward the en-
dowment fund of Lawrence College,
Appelton, Wis. 1t was very enthus-
iastic meeting, and ministers and lay
men responded with pledges to the
amount of 1900 At the business ses-
sion Friday morning additional pledges
were made, making total Of $40, 1000.
When the total amount of the pledges
was announced, the Conference rose to
it's feet and joined heart and soul in the
singing of the Doxology Of praise.
If the college is successful in raising
$50, 600 by October LIST, a friend has
promised an additional $50, 900 and pos
sibly $75, 900; hence the enthusiastic
effort which promises so great a sue
cess. $4,000 more are needed
In asking for donations to Lawrence,
Bishop Quayle declared that DR.. Sam
ue Plantz is recognized as the greatest
Methodist College President in Ameri-
ca, and that he thought Wisconsin
should be proud in having an educator,
who is so highly honored throughout
the nation. The Bishop also spoke
highly Of the educational work of Law
renee, and said that it deserved well Of
the people of Wisconsin. Thirty per
cent Of the male graduates of the col
lege are entering the Christian ministry
while many other graduates are filing
important places in business and in the
service Of the state.
According to the facts given by Dr.
Plantz, these are great days for Meth
odist colleges. During the past four
years $4,000, 600 have been given to
Methodist institutions of learning.
