Members of Mems Club of Trinity Cathedral Hear University President Talk On Broad Subject At An nual Meeting

Probably no other meeting of The Mems club of Trinity Cathedral has proven as instructive and educational, as that of last night, held at the Ca thedral house and attended by about one hundred members of the club and visitors.
 After a delectable dinner, Judge Kib- bey, president of the club, rose and announced that it was the custom of the club at each of it's meetings to dis cuss some subject pertinent to the oc- casion. For the meeting last evening the judge announced the subject of "The relation of the church to the com munity," had been selected He then hastened to state that he did not know the relation of the average man to the church, but he was of the opinion that his was largely by marriage.
 Dr. von KleinSmid, president of the University of Arizona, upon his intro ductiOn by Judge Kibbey, pleased his audience by stating that he was always keen to make the trip to Phoenix
 Although Dr. von KleinSmid's subject was to be along the lines announced by the president, he dgressed at the start but gradually broadened his talk, until he was taking in the prescribed ground
 He gave the major portion of his at tention to explaining how vital truth" was in every day life.
 Dr. von KleinSmid stated emphati cally that if the question was asked the pa fno cha
 ucating the children under his charge. he could not answer it. True he ex- plained, he would have an apt phrase to fling back, but on analysis it would be found that it meant nothing.
 While in England, the doctor had asked why they were educating their children. He found out that it was to fill certain social position. In France. IL was to fill government position. and in Germany it was for efficiency.
 In the United States, he explained there are no educational ideals The educators here do not know why they are insulting learning into the minds of the rising generation or for what reason. They are giving all their time to means and not results. The next generation must see a change. for unity and solidity.
 In speaking of citizenship Dr. von klelnSmid very emphatically made if pialn that there were no boundaries to conIlne citizenship. It must be uni versal. Neither the boundaries of q city, state or nation can limit if. Tn thls way an education based on truth ha
 teach Tor today, or tomorrow, but for all time. The doctors idea of educa ton IS for universal citizenship. which VIII then become worlds citizenship excluding the possibility of war. In broadening out the relation of the church to the community, he explained that the former must be the center fo, the discovery and realization of truth The future of the churches, he said die not look very bright. In San Francisco less than four per cent of the popula. ton attended churches. The solutio, of this problem, will come through tb, ulssemlnation of truth by the churches
 The doctor then relaxed a bit ant wondered if his audience had not com, 10 the conclusion that he was preach ing He emphatically denied this. de clarlng that the most practical thin. in all the world was truth. If trutl could be understood by all, there woul, be no such thing as race preiudice n class favOritism.
 A. C. Bartlett, of Chicago was th, second speaker on the program. Al though the greater portion of MT. Bart i let's talk was of a decidedly seriou nature, he started out in a humourou Veln. He rather wittily explained tha III Ar1zona he had found the peopl original. He did not know whethe It was by intention that he was place between Dr. von KleinSmid and Bisho Atwood, but such being the case an he had a representative of the univer sity and church on both sides of hin he could be expected to form a sort q sandwich, and he was from Chicago would undoubtedly be of the ham va riety.
 MT. Bartlett's plea was for men. hon est men. He strongly urged his list ehers not to contract indebtedness which they could not meet. His audi ehce was greatly moved by his earnes l "oiuS, anu dl lne conclusion he wa
 warmly applauded.
 Bishop Atwood, adhered to the an nounced subject of the relation of in church to the community. and told ,
 the work of his church throughout th
 state. In place of building churches
 several of the mining camps, he e,
 planned it had been found better
 construct community houses.
