REV GOULD TAKES
UP COLLEGE OFFER
ACCEPTS POSITION AT DES
MONIES UNIVERSITY BAP-
TIST CHURCH

The Rev. j. Orrin Gould, for Is
months University of Idaho studen
pastor, has just received the appoint
ment as pastor of the University Bap
tist church at the Des Moines, Iowa
University. Rev. and Mrs. Could ant
family will leave next Wednesday Oh
an overland trip by auto to the scene
of the new work being taken up by
Mr.. Gould. They go by way of Mont
ana, Wyoming and Nebraska.
Rev. Gould is leaving this city af-
ter almost two years of successful
'endeavor as student pastor at the I'm
tversity of Idaho, where he was also
in charge of the work undertaken by
the University Christian Federation
which organization was brought to a
high state of efficiency on the camp
us under his generalship.
He arrived in Moscow in December,
1920, to assume his duties as stud
ent pastor for the cooperative church
foundation Of the city, which had
of common Christian work on the
university campus. For a year and
a half his consistent and untiring
efforts have been directed towards
making the Christian work at the
university the vital thing it is now
considered over the state.
From nothing the University Chris
tian Federation under the direction of
Rev. Gould grew to be an established
institution. He was earnestly inter-
'ested in every phase of campus life
that would in any way lead to the
building up OF Christian morale, and
consecreated his entire time tc the
dulfillment of that ideal.
During the great war he served as
"A lieutenant chaplain with the United
States armies and he held virtually
l0k
corps here. On August %, 1922, he
received the commission as captain
of the officers reserve corps from the
.adjutant general Of the United States.
Mr.. Gould resigned his charge here
because he felt called to other fields
of endeavOr. The position he now as
sumes is q big work. He will have
entire charge Of the religious work
of a student body of more than 1900
individuals. The church to which he
goes is considered the model church
of the Baptist denomination and he
was selected because he was deemed
especially well fitted to handle the
situation at the University.
The Des Moines University is the
foremost Baptist college of the United
States and is considered the mecca OF
religious training for pastors and
other church workers. But all church
es are represented in the student body.
Other denominations are allowed to
affiliate membership at the univers-
ity church.
The university there was formed
some two or three years ago by the
of several smaller de-
nominatiOnal colleges. 1t has had an
excessive growth. Considerable mon
ey has been available because Of the
great interchurch movement and the
work has been carried on at full
speed.

PROMINENT EDUCATOR TO SPEAK
In PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH sun.

DR.. Elliot H. Moore of Whitworth
College will speak at the Presbyter-
ian church tomorrow morning and
evening. AS the official representa-
tive Of the college he is visiting the
churches to let the people know more
about the institution. Whitworth Col
lege is located at Spokane. 1t has
done a splendid work for the young
people of the church for more than
thirty years. The purpose Of Chris
tian college is to provide that which
is most needful in education-namely
religion. The college is absolutely non
Sectarlan and. undenOminational in it's
teaching and class work, yet it aims
to develop all of the broad funda-
mentals of Christian character in its
students. The Bible is one of the
text books of the institution and upon
this foundation the whole structure
of cultural education is built. The
faculty consists of the exceptionally
choice group of Christian men and
women adequately prepared for the
training and leadership of youth. The
school is coeducational and the social
life of the students in a distinctly
Christian environment is one Of its
attractive features.
Whitworth is one of the fifty-seven
Presbyterian colleges supported by
the church. The total number of stu
dents enrolled in these institutions
exceeds thirty thousand. From this
group more than from any other
source will come the leadership of the
church in the next generation. One
of the Presbyterian colleges last year
had among it's students fifty candi-
dates for the Christian ministry
Babson says: ''The safety of our ma
ton depends upon Christian educa-
tion.'' The colleges of the church rep
resent capital investment of $751;
100000 An annual income of $685.
100000 is expended in their support
