Adoption of an international

the Foreign Missions Conference,

told today.

Religion in Schools
Doctor Diffendorfer declared him
self a champion of religious edu
cation in high schools. He said he
preferred to magnify this subject
rather than to consider it in an
An0lnCQffR
He urged upon the foreign work
ers that their teachings to the
people of other lands must be
based upon love. and not upon
sympathy. which often carries with
ii a superiority complex. He told
them to- portray Christ as a mis-
sionary God. not as the sole prop
erty Of the western world, but a
universal deity.
Pleads for Women
The other great feature of the
morning session today was the
direct appeal made by Mrs. Charles
Kirkland Roys. secretary of the
Board Of Foreign Missions of the
Presbyterian church. for the reten-
ton of women's place in the mis-
sion boards of all the churches.
Through her talk ran an under

organization of mission boards

have occupied for half century

It was learned that there has
been talk of change in the status

boards, but no male has yet had
the courage to bring this fight into

The purpose of Mrs. Roys' ad-

In Honor of the Great
Western Expansionist

When the fur trade died ID The
great West, there died with il many
of the posts which had been the sen-
ters of this industry. One notable ex-
ception was Fort Benton In Montana.
Built In 1914 by Alexander Cu'a7rt-
son of the American Fur COMPANY i
was originally named Fort Lew In
honor of Meriweather Lewis, the ez-
plorer. In 1916 this post was moved
to the head of navigation on the Mis-
souri,, rebuilt with adobe, az On
Christmas day dedicated amid great
festivities as Fort Benton, thus honor
ing Thomas Hart Benton, the -r7at
western expansionlst and a tEa sd
friend Of the y. f. c."
In its first period Fort Benton
ranked with Fort Union in Nor lla-
kota as a fur center. and later Ae-
came the main center of tra -
buffalo robes, when Fort Union vas
abandoned. The fact that frou -p'
600 TO 10000 buffalo robes N.re
shipped from Fort Benton eacI eaf
tells briefly why the buffalo vas s1e1
from the northern plains.
The greatest glory of Fort Benton
came about the year 1856. Whe rue
