teachers but the Christian college.
The Southern Methodist church is
in the midst of great campaign to
raise thirty-three million dollars to
be used for Christian education in the
South, but it expects the amount to
be subscribed will exceed this amount
by many millions. The Methodists,
as a whole, are wide awake people,
and they know that for every dollar
invested in this way, at the present
time, they will be repaid many times
over-not only in dollars and cents,
but in the splendid young manhood
and womanhood of the South.
