THE FARMERx JUNE 26, 1915

for the Colonial cause in that strUg- gle. A few years after it closed the Center Methodist church came into being through the missionary Iabors of Rev. Jesse Lee. the pioneer of MethodfsEn in New England
 Theological differences were less reconci1able then than they are to- day as is shown by an incident of Lees first visit here. One of his first interviews was with the Congre- gational minister who asked him for a full exposition of his doctrtna1 be- lief. When the visitor gave it the other minister shook his head with the statement that the principles set forth were too unorthodox for his ac- ceptance. 'Non1ina11y these dtfferen- ces still exist, but they are not now the barriers to practical unity that they were.

THE COLLEGES,
 STRUGGLE FOR MONEY

Through all the literary and social atmosphere of the college comm enoe- ments and reunions, there runs the plea for more money. The college president of the past generation was a leader in the paths of quiet scholasticism. The college president Of today is 8 business manager, one of whose principal functions is to drum up trade in the form of endow- ments.
 The way the thing sometimes works out Is illustrated in g. bit of personal experience. The woman who was telling the incident was graduated 25 years ago this month from a well known college. She had been planning with eager anticipation to attend the class's5 quarter-century reunion.
 But few weeks ago she received from her class officers g. letter stat ing that 1t was urgently asked that every class member attending should give at least $25 toward 8 certain equipment needed by the college. The woman had not been prosperous in a worldly way. She felt that all who attended the gathering would be giv- Ing their $25 and more, and she stay ed at home. unwilling to reveal her stra4tened circumstances
 At the reunion of another class at the same college, it was remarked What prosperous looking people we all seem to be!'' ssYes,'' was the re- ply. "but less than a half of our class has come back. The rest may not be so prosperous These class reunions are a thrilling experience of memory and "reminiscences, but they bear down pretty hard on the grad nate to whom money has not come l easily.
 Aren't the colleges over anxious on the money question? Is perfect Hn A71f i+o to think? Education is not in Iabo- ratories and libraries and luxurious 1 dormitories. It is the leadership of | bright. thoughtful, alert-minded in structors. With a faculty of re- sourceful teach CTS, a college will send l its students all over the world Ii can wait with assurance for the equipment to come in due time

BEDDING CHURCHES MAY FORM UNION
 IN HIRING PASTOR
Plan Discussed By Methodists and CongregatiOnalists
 of Center.
(specia1 to The Farmer.,

Bedding, June 24~Lead4ng mem bers Of the Center Congregational church and the Center Methodist church are discussing a proposition that the two churches join forces to the extent of having one pastor serve both. The movement is significant and interesting because for one req son it indicates a. weakening of de- nominationa1 lines and animosities as, compared with the past and for an- other because it is likely, if the ex- pertinent proves successful, to fur nish an example which will be follow ed by communities having similar con- ditions. No actual merger or con- soltdatton is contemplated, the design being that each church shall continue 8 separate organization. It may be said that business or practical considerations are at the bottom of the proposed change. Neither church haAN the membership or the attendance that 1t formerly had and while neither is poverty stricken or in any way decadent, each possessing endowments that provide for fully half it's expenditures, the
 ordinary Sunday gatherings at the l two churches would not, if combined, tax the capacity of either edt1ce.
