CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR'
HOLDS JOINT MEETING
FOR GIRLS OF S. T. S.
First Christian And Second
Presbyterian Churches
Unite Efforts

Can the Christian Endeavor society
bring happiness and sunshine? This
question would have been answered
with a decided affirmative had 1t
been asked OF the girls of the State
Training School last Sunday after the
joint meeting and program given for
them by the First Christian and Sec
ond Presbyterian church societies.
The assembly room at the school
was crowded with the girls ranging
from 10 to IS years old. and despite
the lengthy program a more atten-
tive and interested audience would
have been hard to find. The program
was opened with prayer by Ken
meth Forbes Of the Second Presby-
terrain. Harwell Allen. president of
Scripture reading. Heart to heart
talks were made by C. D. Ward. H. C.
Wallace and Edwin Ports of the Sec
ond Presbyterian, and j. B. Golding
of the First Christian. Several hymns
were sung, with Miss Marie Hickman
of the First Christian at the piano,
George ID. Kitzinger of the First
Christian had charge OF the meeting.
After the program the visitors were
shown over the institution by Sarah
c. Douglass, superintendent. After
the services the girls awaited them
selves of the opportunity to frolic
and display their athletic talents for
the benefit of the visitors and some
clever athletic stunts were shown.

The conservation meeting was a
success The Shepherd psalm was the

city, sent verse of scripture to be
read in answer to her name at roll

MIR. BRyAN,s LAST DEFEAT

The defeat of Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan in the election of a mod
crater for the Presbyterian church
in the United States of America has
oecasioned widespread editorial COM
ment by religious journals of all de-
nominations. That the most widely
influential layman in the church, and
a man so eminent in the life of the
nation should fan of election seemed
to many to be impossible. These who
had opportunity to be thrown with
Mr.. Bryan at the meeting of the as
sembly in indianapolis said that,
while he had been able to joke about
his various defeats a. candidate for
the presidency of tho United States,
he took this last defeat much harder.
The question was one of academic
liberty, and Mr.. Bryan offered q
resolution frected to the prevention
of the teaching OF "Darwinism or any
other evolutionary hypothesis that
links man in blood relationship with
any other forms OF life
The Christian Century tChicago)
sums up the situation in these words
Under any other circumstances q
Ia man SO eminent and so clean In
his personal life would have com
manGed a unanimous vote. But the
Presbyterian church could not afford
to be put wrong in the eyes of the
world on the subject of intellectual
freedom and progress. Sc Mr.. Bryan
had to be defeated. His election
would have been Interpreted in a
way that would have ranged the
membership OF the church in two
hostile camps. So the disagreeable
duty Of defeating Mr.. Bryan was per-
formed with grimness and regret. He
is used to defeat, and perhaps the
rebuke he received at the hands Of
his fellow churchmen may not dis
tress him profoundly. Yet there We're
signs on his face and in his man
ner of actual heartache. His best
friends regret that he lost SO sig
nal an opportunity for service. As
props sandist during the current year
for the great Christian causes Mr..
Bryan would have been powerful
figure in the religious world. A
small intellectual controversy has
eelipsed IA his mind the imperial
causes that lie upon the conscience
of his Presbyterian brethren and of
the IvhO1a Christian church."

ENGINEER TO SPEAK
j. c. Nagle Will Address Technical
Club on Water Resources.

J. G. Nagle, former dean of the en-
cheering faculty at A. K NJ. College
of Texas will deliver an address be-
fore the San Antonio Technical Club
Tuesday, on Water Resources of
Texas" according to an announce
ment by Z. p. Arneson. president of
the club. lie will also speak before
the local chapter of the American As
ISOLATION of Engineers on the subject
of FLOOD Prevention" The evening
meeting will be at s 80 in the assem-
bly, room of the Chamber of Com
merce and will be open to the public.
Mr.. Nagle has been invited to adj
dress the local engineer organizations
on the subjects mentioned because of
the position of authority he holds in
Texas on these matters. Mr.. Nagle
is n graduate of the universities of
Texas and Cornell. He appears in
who's Who in America" as an emf
nent author, educator and engineer.
He has had extensive experience in
hydraulic engineering. Mr.. Arneson
says, and was the first chairman of the
State Board Of Water Engineers when
that body was organized in 1913. He
was instrumental in the preparation
of the present statutes regarding the
use of public waters in Texas and was
employed by various levee organiza-
tions for flood protection projects on
the BraZos and other rivers.
Mr.. Nagle has pointed out that the
final passage of House Bill II by the
Thirty-eighth Legislature will make
possible the collection and dissemina-
ton of valuable information regarding
the discharge of streams of the state,
possibilities of storing and utilizing
the storm water, discharge and the
protection of low lying lands from de-
structive overflows. He says that the
financial damage, due to even one
small overflow. in most instances
would more than offset the combined
cost of all surveys and the protective
works themselves.
