School Day exercises at the morning
hour. Superintendent Cayard and
the teachers and pupils had prepared
a splendid religious programme
Each department Superintendent had
a part that exemplified that particu
lar phase of the work. We all ap-
preciate the work of the school I'M
der cramped conditions.
At the night service the speaker
was the Rev. E N. Evans, whose
text was Romans 1:14-15, 81 am deb
tor both to the Greeks, and to the
Barbarians; both to the wise and
to the unwise. SO as much as in
me is, l am able to preach the Cos
pei to them that are in Rome also"
He handled his subject, showing what
a skilled man Paul was, how it re-
quired a many-sided man to meet all
of the conditions of men and life in
many lands where he went. His plea
was that God still needed we'll
equipped man for His work.
This emphasized the need of the
educational fund chat the Metho-
dists are raising for their schools and
colleges. DR.. Evans is an equipped
man and spoke with a message that
was eloquent and timely.
TIL pastor, at morning hour, took
occasion to call attention to the fact
that the success of the Centenary
had made the demand for the Edu-
cational work imperative. Vast
fields had opened up and for these
fields men must be trained and sent.
To give you at least one concrete
case he quoted from Bishop Moore,
the Bishop to Brazil as follows:
This year l will confine myself to
Brazil, where we hope to finish forty
Centenary churches, a dozen Cente-
nary Parsonages, and project the
erection of the main school buildings
at Porto Alege College, Passo Fundo
Institute, and Central College. The
two Union College buildings have
been completed and the Bennette
College building has been recon-
structed. This is only one Bishops
report of one part of his work. From
all quarters we see how the fields are
ripe unto the harvest and these
fields need men and these men need
training and we must enlarge our
Colleges to do this and this requires
money. We have only asked for
s33, 00O,000.00. This has been i'm
pressed so strongly upon the General
Board of Education, that a PROPOSE
ton was sent out offering to make
our Centenary College at Shreveport,
conditional donation of s250,00O,
provided that the Louisiana Annual
Conference raises the quota of the
allotment assigned.
This is very interesting, when we
remember that this is a rich mans
offer from New York City. People
who have investigated the matter see
what a vast field is open for human
dividends. One family in our Church
has had the privilege of investing in
this sort of enterprise in an indi-
vidual way for about eleven years,
when the education of young Korean
girl was begun. She finished at the
Holston Institute, Songdo. After she
finished, her brother was sent by the
Algiers Methodist Church to the
Anglo Korean School to study for the
ministry, and was an educated Chris
tian, who suffered persecution from
Japan, as result of which he died
He left a baby boy that has been &C
cepted as a ward of our Algiers men,
Der. The Christian Education move
ment will give you and every one
chance to enjoy this work of invest
ing in manhood and womanhood in a
concerted movement. The pastor at
tended the Methodist Preachers
Meeting last Monday morning, and
was delighted to notice that every
minister, who is pastor on the other
side of the river, who had not met
the quota, expected to.
PERSONALS.

Algiers Methodist Church, at g
o'clock, the marriage of Mr.. San
