 Feople are willing to patronize the educational institutions hut ara not Wiling to make sacrifices for them" sald the bishop. Teaching is one of the primary functions of the church. uefe IS at present a propaganda Whlch aims to oust the church from the held of education. At a time when no one else would take the re. sponslbility of teaching the children ahc redeeming them from ignorance It was the church that started schools But now the church no longer is the only agency that will interest itself Tn education and the secularization of the primary schools, the high schools and large part of the academies has resulted. The church college and an occasional university is all that re, mains, and we must stand together to maintain these institutions as our own.
 The reason that the church should stay in the educational field is that it has quality of inspirational moral in- struction that state institution can never touch. The church appeals to motives. The supreme object of a college education is not knowledge, but character, and ideals for ser vice. Church schools are not design ed primarily to make church members. The charge of narrowness should be hurled back on the secular education that goes to technical extremes"
