WANT TO RAISE
HALF A MILLION
Continued From Page ~

This idea has grown among the
Methodists 80 strongly that they nov
have $50 educational institutions II
the United States. There are between
$4,000 and 100000 students enrolled II
these schools and $60,O00,000 is invest
ed in buildings and equipment.
There are about 100000 members OF
the Methodist church in Iowa and
their part in the educational work has
been heavy. Bishop Bristol discussed
the plans which have been carried out
along this line in this state and laid
special stress on the founding Of Iowa
Wesleyan.
Responsibility Great.
'tThe responsibility of those who
planted Iowa Wesleyan was great but
lit would have been greater If they
hadn't founded the school, said the
bishop.
"In the old days men had conv1c'
lions. Today they have opinions. II
takes more than an opinion to build a
school like Iowa Wesleyan. There
were terrible sacrifices made in the old
days. But people have the same con
victions today as they did then. They
are Just chips off the old block. They
are willing to put their time and
money into the investment because
they know it will pay.
Is Soul Kept Alive?
"shall the soul be kept alive in
Iowa?
THAT is the question which the
Christian college. must answer. 1t Is
up to it to solve the problem.
IT am not knocking the state insti
tuition. But no state institution is
bound to see to it that the soul of a
boy or girl is kept alive, that he con
siders the bible the word Of God, the
statute of religion and that Jesus
Christ is the saviour of the world.
There is reason, why. They are
limited by the very character of the
state system 1t is not their fault but
they are under no obligation whatever
The Christian college is.
"There Is a certain sense in which
the state school can not give mortal
being a complete education. The
Christian college can, mentally, physi
cally and spiritually.
"The state school can not by law
teach what the Christian college con
siders so necessary
