REV. A. v. JOHNSIONE
Gave Address At Annual Founders
Day Celebration /
IN COLLEGE CHAPEL FRIDAY eve
Spoke On Aims of Founders Musical Pro.
gram Given

Last Friday evening in the college
chapel was celebrated the annual
Founders Day. A musical program
was given by Messrs. Neatch, Fan
nell and Davis and Miss Roberts
After the program, Prof. Mitchell in
troduced the speaker of the evening,
DR.. A. w. tombstone, of Cadillac.
DR.. Johnstone said he could not
speak directly of the founders of the
college as he knew only two of them,
but told of their aim in founding the
college and how though their plans
were not all carried out they were
the foundation for the working plans
of today. The chief desire of these
grand men was to make Alma college
Christian college, that the boys and
girls studying within her walls would
receive the broadest, most helpful
education possible. He spoke of les
sons that had come to him while
crossing the ocean and the plains, of
how God can see and watches all
things at the same time and how
necessary for Christian institutions
and teachers to do more than one
thing at time, and that the founders
of Alma college had learned the les
son, saw many needs and had many
aims. He told of the great need of
Christian institutions and the de-
demand for educated Christian men
and women and the founders had
provided means to supply that de-
mand and referred to the numerous
graduates of the college who were
occupying the best positions in the
commercial and professional world.
His closing appeal was that all might
study the aims of these men, which
eliminated in the one great ain-de-
veloping Christian character and let
them be an inspiration to them.
Before beginning his address DR..
Johnstone thanked the college for
comforting the degree of Doctor of
Divinity upon him last June.

amount which some dependent per-

greatest evils of our time, and to
direct this stirred conscience into
safe and sane action for the annihi-
lation of commercialized vice and the
promotion of social and personal
morality"
Every state in the Union is expend-
ing vast sums of money for the pur-
pose of caring for its imbeciles, ep-
ileptics, lunatics, paupers and Grim
inals. This is a commendable char
acteristic of modern civilization. In
recent years the pertinent question
has been asked, why not give care
full attention to the source Of these
unfortunates?" Every child has the
divine right to be decently born.
Social and individual purity together
with physical and mental vigor con-
stitutes secure means OF making
this divine right possible.
The people of our great state must
be awakened. They must come to an
appreciation of the full meaning and
Importance of a Single Standard of
Virtue, if they are ever to Danish
white, slavery and kindred crimes
from society.
On Purity Sunday let all of the
clergymen of all of the churches APP
peal to all of the people in behalf OF
that purity which Christ taught En-
phasize the positive side of personal
righteousness. Much that is printed
-, bool-c and orocIain,ed from the
platform, in relation to sex problems,
is true, yet positively pernicious.
knowledge in itself does not always
make for virtue-it may make for
vicious conduct Therefore, awaken
and arouse love for purity. 1t is
the sunlight of Righteousness that the
youth of our land must have if they
are to grow into the fullness of noble
manhood and womanhood.
