TO EDUCATE IT'S MINISTER'S
Southern Methodist Church Decides
Pastors Are Deficient.

lent, it has been decided at the South

with our boys and girls returning

sometimes compelled to listen to
pastor whose specific say nothing
of his theology-rolls like a Jugger-
naut over every law of the English
language, is it any wonder that in
many cases we cannot hold our chill

ty?" the communication says in part.
r. H. Bennett, secretary or the sup
ply department, has compiled figures
The daily Missourian. [volume] (Columbia, Mo.) 1916-1917, 1916-09-17

on the educational qualifications OF
the ministers. More than "a per cent
have had no theological education
only 25 per cent are college gradu-
ates; 80 per cent have had no college
education; q per cent have had only
three years or less in high schools /;
10 per cent have not had any high
school work, and only 1-2 per cent
are graduates in theology.
Educational standards are going
up" Mr.. Bennett said. so why not
send ignorant ministers back to
school or require them to work in
some less prominent place than the
pulpit? A young man first begins to
feel the call to preach when he is II
years old and the average age of his
acceptance is at 80. These thirteen
years are the cream of the time of
preparation of life, and yet they are
often spent in vain efforts to get an

LEARNED OF "FAR WEST"

I In this way, l shall be very we'll ac-

Pond learned English in the Hong
Kong College at Hong-Kong, and only
an occasional false accent or curious
turn of phraseology betrays the fact
that his English is an acquired Ian

The Chinese government sends
about hundred young students to
this country every year. Their ex-
penses are paid by their government

China some years ago. These STU

JUNE

June gets its name for the Latin
junicres, meaning the young people,
The spectacle of high school grad
uate telling people like Augustus and
Cicero how the empire should be run
appealed to the Roman sense Of hu-
NOR, and it was encouraged. Rich
families like the Capulets took poor
children and newsboys out to their
country estates for the strawberry
season. The sons and daughters of
men like Octavius and Crassus stood
up before their anxious parents and
vowed eternal affection in wedlock.
There was huge baby show for
points in the Coliseum. Only adults
paid at the Circus Maximus. This was
the secret of Rome's power through
the long period in which she was
mistress Of the world-she made
something Of everybody. Even Caesar
was not above going out with the
Boy Scouts. Everybody frankly and
gladly gave this one month over to
youth. As Horace said while dipping
the lemonade out of a barrel in one
of the celebrated Campagna groves.
Youth will be served"
The Roman political conventions

were also held in June. Indeed June
has always been the favorite month
for political conventions. This is be-
cause the days are longest in June
and there is less opportunity than at
any other time to do things in the
dark Rome had both the big party
conventions, and as such times the city
was packed. Party bosses came from
everywhere, delegates from England
and other outlying provinces were ex-
hibited in cages, brass bands whooped
it up around the halls, and hotel rates
went up two or three times. The en-
pire was almost always at war, which
usually furnished the campaign is
sues. Thus, when Gaul was divided
into three parts there was great op-
position to the government upon the
part of the more warlike element,
which felt that Gaul might just as
well have been split six ways as three.
In the campaign that followed Rome
had the misfortune to lose Caesar,
who was assassinated by Brutus and
Casca, Il couple of munition makers.
Marc Antony said Caesar lived either
before or after his time, it was hard
to tell which.

For National Defense.
Perhaps It is a reminder more than
a discovery, but there has come to
us a conviction that this great nation,
rich in resources and strong in pa
triotic manhood, has been negligent
concerning its own defense. We have
dweIt in fancied rather than real Sc
curity. Pride mingles with regret in
this, because It suggests the mind OF
a nation so free from intended Of
fense that there WAS no cultivated
thought of needed defense. Our right
eousness OF purpose is portrayed in
our trust in unarmed safety. But
there is a warning I'm bleeding Eu-
rope. and there is call today for pru-

fense. There is no mistaking the SEN
timent. We are not thinking OF the

those who aim to wax fat in the pro
duction OF arms and munitions, be
cause there is none. | deplore the
teaching that an anxiety about our ma
tional defense is inspired by greed.
We rejoice in free speech and free
press and untrammeled opinion, but
patriotism is lily promoted by the i'm
putation OF false motives, whether
aimed at those who believe in defense
or those who doubt it's wisdom. Such
a teaching rends the concord of cit-
zenship. which may develop a worse
peril from within than from any en-

faces of patriots OF a fearless repub-

They were not all Americans by

1t matters not that men have died
and half the earth is battle strewn,
the young are not to be denied the
bliss and Establishments of June. To
them the blue and arching skies were
never made for shooting planes, or
summer nights unseeing eyes for
running military trains. Their hearts
are still those mellow spots they were
when peace was on the throne. Their
thoughts are sweet as apricots, and
true love brands them for it's own.
The gibbous moon entices the swain to
singing ballads to his sweet, the cook
is on the job again and charms the
copper from his beat. The fair di-
vorcee sets her cap for anybody quite
as free, the widow bOunces in the lap
Of unsuspicion from a tree, the domi-
ME will tie the knot so often that he'll
get a Ford, the son-in-law will come
to squat on fathers premises for
board, the wedding march will lift its
strains wherever love digs up ten,
and the bachelor, in fear and chains,
will go the way Of all good men.
The presidential candidate will
stand beneath his chosen plum, his
manner apt to indicate a lively sense
Of things to come. The hosts will
rally to the halls from all the shades
Of our belief, and loving hands will
deck the walls with pictures Of the
likely chief. The orator will tell US
what a mighty man he means to name,
with what acclaim it shall be caught.

to pinch his arm to prove it isn't oak.

hold justice up and pillage down, he'll
seize on privilege and pitch it prompt
