The State.
;Leesville, July 15.-The Lutheran
summer school for church workers
opened auspiciously last night in
Summerland college with strong ad-
dress by DIR. Charles P. Wiles of Phil
adelphia. Lusherans in large num-
bers from throughout the state and
Georgia are in attendance. The
space in the dormitories at the col
lsse are already fully occupied, but
the people of Leesville and Bates
bhrg have opened their homes for the
visitors. Many more will come, num-
bess from the surrounding country to
spend the day at the delightful col
leee site. The spirit of devotion and
Sonseeration manifest in those in at
tsndance is hopeful sign for the
Great cause of Christ.
In sounding :. the keynote of the
school DR.. Wiles spoke. of the respon-
sibility of Christian workers in feed
ing the soul hungry people of the
world. Taking as the basis of his
discourse the command of Christ in
feeding the 5000, "Give We them to
eat" he stated that the Christian peo-
pie; of America should think of the
back rows of the world, the heather.
Stating that only about 5 per cent OF
the ministers of the church go into
foreign lands, he impressed the school
with; the apparent complacency OF the
church people in endeavoring to car
rys the bread of life to men every
where. He pleaded for revival OF
church going on the part of profess
ing; Christians believing that this
would go long way towards breaking
down the indif of the church.
Each day the regular program
consists of. courses in Sunday school
work. The teachers study of the life
