quate leadership which would even-
ftually lead toward a general de-

q matter of f1attery," but rather an
indication that many are thinking

eventually result in an @unethical
scramble for pulpits, competition
not only between age and youth, but
between educated and uneducated,
insecurity in the ministry, general
lowering of professional morale"
Remedies Recommended.
DR.. Froyd recommended four steps
to remedy these condition., These
were to increase vastly the output
Of trained ministers for the rural
field" to train them specifically for
the specialized requirements Of the
rural church." to provide "for an
emergency accelerated course OF
training for the rural church" in
certain areas where leadership. Is
urgently needed and to tackle the
problem by coming realistically to
grips with the economic problem"
involved.

Her last battle was when she
engaged two British ships -
the Levant and Cyane - off the
coast of Portugal in February
of 1915. This battle occurred
after the peace treaty had been
signed.
AS might be expected of such
a ship, there have been any
number Of tales spun about her.
She got her nickname, Old Iron
sides, during the battle with the
Guerrero. 1t was occasioned
when one of her sailors observed
that the British's shells were
failing to puncture her sides.
He observed, "Her sides are
made of iron" From that day,
she was known to her men as
"Old Ironsides."
Plans for her rebuilding were
laid in 1925. In 1926 construction
was begun which was to cost
more than $500, 900 contributed
by the American public. In July
of 1881 she started on a tour
