The Epworth League rendered an
unusually interesting program last
Wednesday evening May 11th, at its
regular devotional meeting. The
subject was one of particular inter-
est to all Methodists Just now -
Christian Education. After the devo-
tional portion of the program the
leader Miss Gertrude Manning spoke
briefly on the great issue. insisting
that the emphasis be placed on both
words Christian Education, as real
education, must be christian and
thorough. Miss Christine Berry then
read an excellent paper on the "neces-
sity of preparation for leadership
She pictured the success of the great
est Bible heroes and historic figures
and noted their preparation. The
most interesting feature of the pro-
gram was the debate, Resolved:
That church colleges render greater
service than state colleges" Mrs.
Hoyt Watson spoke on the affirma-
tive, binging out strong points as to
the great men and leaders graduated
from church colleges, and gave indis-
putable statistics about the Ministry,
Missionaries, etc. She stressed the
fact Of the origin of schools in the
church, and noted North Americas
success as compared to South Amer
!ica's, because the Pilgrims sought
God, and the Spaniards gold. She
emphasized the effort of the church
colleges to train to make lives rath-
er than a living, character rather
than perfect machinery. Mrs Kate
Rogers debated the negative and
proved conclusively that the State
colleges ministered to those who 9TH
erwise would have to go without on
account of finances, and she called
attention to the equipment of State
colleges to give thorough training.
She brought the argument of the per-
manancy of early childhood ideals
and stressed the necessity of the child
being grounded in faith before he
goes to college. Mrs. Rogers then paid
glowing tribute to the atmosphere
of her Alma Mater, Winthrop Col
lege. Throughout all Mrs. Rogers in
sisted that the Christian Educational
Movement was timely and that she
would rejoice when its financial sue
cess had mad e possible for church
colleges equal or superior equipment.
The only decision rendered was the
consensus of opinion that splendid
and strong points were brought out
by both speakers and that all would
rejoice at the success of both types
OF colleges as there is a place for
each. The League usually has good
instructive programs and would be
encouraged by the attendance of all
interested. 1t meets every Wednes-
day evening at o'clock.
