Declaring that the Baptist denom-
tnatton has great educational prob
lem in North Dakota. Dorr Carroll of
Minot this morning urged the state
Baptist conference to establish an af-
fliated college with the state univer-
sity, similar to the present Methodist
institution. Following Mr. Carroll, E.
p. Jordan. president Of. the Sioux
Falls college, spoke on the Christian
educational institution. enumerating
its many advantages to the student

lieve the need ever has been more ap-
parent than 1t is today. For years
we have been going east and into
other states for our Baptist ministers
and workers. We have brought them
into a state foreign to them. state
have known.
Necessary to Success.
IF the Baptist denomination is to
succeed in North Dakota 1t must pre-
pare workers within the state. Our
young men and young women are the
ones that should cope with the future
problems of North Dakota. How can
taught to do SO? And will eastern
colleges teach them the best methods
Of solving the difficulties Of the prair-
les?
I'VE have a great university in this
state. Much time and money has been
best institutions in the northwest.
There is affiliated with it Wesley col
lege, the Methodist institution. The
scheme has been tried thoroughly and
has succeeded.

said, "was self representation. In the
clan ideal, which was the subjection'
Of the individual to the state.
I'm our own day we find different
inscriptions to be read upon the ban
ners which are unfurled. One believes
that 1t Is the importation Of certain
facts to the mind; others tell us that
education consists Of the powers and
still others, and not a few, measure
the value of education from the prac-
tical standpoint alone.
This is the utilitarian conception
Of education. from the beginning to
the ending, with, the dollar mark
placed all over It.
Christianity is First.
But over and above all these ideals
is Christianity, which has message
to man. It sees a truth in the fact
that education must impart facts to
the mind. It recognizes the fact that
true education must call out the
latent powers which are stored in hu-
man faculties; 1t teaches us the true
utility Of all things which are good.
but 1t has for its chief aim the per-
lection Of character, and this attain
ment is to be found only as the image
Of the Lord Jesus Christ may be
stamped upon the human soul.
Christian college. to all thoughtful
people, is an institution in which the
instruction is impaired under those
conditions which are favorable to
Christian life. This will apply both
to the atmosphere of the school and
those studies which shall be taught.
Free to Investigate.
I'm the Christian college, the teach
er is free to investigate all truth
not the truth pertaining to science
merely, but the truth which pertains
"And If God and immortality shall
be taken from our thinking, how mar
row will be our intellectual vision. The
greater problems Of life. are, in the
last analysis. Christian problems, and
the Lord Jesus Christ is the center

Becomes a Safeguard.
again, the Christian college is fos-
tered because 1t becomes q great safe
guard to our republic. This is true
because Of the lofty ideals which are
impaired. It is not merely that knowl-
edge is power. but that Righteousness
'In the last place. the Christian
college is carrying out the two-fold |
command of the Master, when He told |
His church to evangelize and teach"
In concluding DR.. Jordan dwelt at
length upon the work which some Of |
the colleges In the Baptist church had
done for evangelization of American
and other nations.
