CHURCH SCHOOL
IS DISCUSSED
A Big Banquet; s2,s7O Subscribed
for Fayette.

5000, 900 endowment fund for Cen
tral College, the church coed
school at Fayette. Representa-
tives are making canvas over the
State in strenuous effort to arouse
the church people to the needs of
increasing the efficiency of this al
ready prominent school. William
Jewel for the Bapists, Westmin-
ster for the Presbyterians, and
Central for the Methodists, all are
awake to the needs of fostering
the church school.
Last Saturday evening an elab-
crate six course banquet was
rendered the men of the Mexico
Methodist church, and visiting
pastors, professors and school
men. The tables filed every
available space in the Sunday
school rooms at which about $50
men were seated. The banquet
was prepared by the ladies of the
Missionary Society under the
guidance of Mrs. W. +. Dunkle
and Mrs. +. l.. Crosby, and they
certainly did themselves proud.
The young ladies of the League
were present in full force and
served the various courses to the
Kings tatse.
w. w. Fry, presiding as toast
master, made the opening speech
of the evening and with well
chosen remarks introduced the
speakers. President Webb of Cen
tral made a strong plea for the
awakening of the individual
church member to the knowledge
of the very high value of the
church school, and of the high
rank of its graduates in the affairs
of the nation. Nearly all of our
presidents were graduates of
church schools - Wilson, Taft,
Mckinley and Cleveland, and also
every State University president.
Rev, B. ID. Sipple also made
strong appeal, talking along the
same lines. Bro. Sipple was rails
ed not far from Mexico and when
a boy used to come to town occa-
sionally with his father. He had
a strange fear of the Mexico boy,
imagined said boy had it in for
the green (9) country boy, and
consequently when he came here
on his occasional visits he carried
rocks in his pockets prepared for
a fight.
Prof. L. B. Hawthorne made a
well timed address. He carries a
diploma from Depew University,
and of course he feels a warm
place in his heart for the church
school. He said that 73 per cent
of the leading professors and
prominent teachers of the country
are graduates Of the church
schools. The church school has its
place, and the stability of the
government, to a great extent,
rests upon it.
Rev. G. NJ. Aker, of Fayette, a
former pastor of the Mexico
church, and Rev. j. G. Handy, of
Fulton, also a former pastor here,
each made addresses. They plead
that the especial need of the
church school is for training of
leaders in religious service and
thought.
Hon. C. M. Hay, of Fulton,
made the closing address. His
plea for the church school was
unanswerable. The University is
all right, but it can't train for
noble citizenship and train in the
development for Christian service
= as can the church school. Fayette
must be sustained and helped.
