"The difficulty with most men," said Dr. Patton, "la their Inability to tell where; they stand If they do stand. If they knew where east was they could probably locate the other points of the compass, one is asked so often why more students in the universities do not come forward to enter the min istry. With their attitude unsettled on philosophic .question they do not see their way clear to enter the ministry. A. tremendous amount of responsibil ity Just now rests on the men who hold the chairs of philosophy In the, col leges of this land, ' if their pupils are allowed to take hold of purely mater ialistic doctrines, and cling to therr they cannot become ministers of Jesus Christ, unless they be hypocrite" Portland, Feb. 14.
