As long as wa have such denominational clamor I would consider It unwise to introduce anything Into tha public school system which might ultimately destroy It, rr. Loveland mentioned the "Gary system." which provides for the setting aside of certain hours of the school day for th pupils to go to their re spective churches for instruction in the liil.le. "I ara not going to Indorse that sys tern," he said, "for it might give some denomination an opening to bring about too close a relation between church and state. What' wo want Is a free school and a free church In a fre stats.'

This is a practical personal question I am putting this morning, saaid Dr. T. W. Lane, pastor of Cen tenary Methodist Church, and he asked. What is the answer?" 'Will ye also ba his disciples?' Sure enough! Why should these churches ask this man to repeat the story of his wonderful experiences with the Man of Galilee for the third time unless they were desirous of becom ing his disciples?

Dr. Spriggs contended that evidences of the copartnership of virtue and in- Hid that leaders of that rellglon'had tur are everywhere to be found.
