Wednesday Evening’s Session. The song service under the dir- ection ot Mr. Martin gave uplifting music. A most helpful part of the preparatory service was the quota- tion of the scriptures. John D. Rockefeller’s gifts to education have now reached the great total of $79,000,000.00 distri- buted as follows: . Chicago University, $21,000,000; Rush Medical College, $6,000,000; other colleges (estimated), $10,000- 000; General Education board, original gift, $10,000,000; General Education, Board new gift, $32,000,- 000. Other notable gifts to education include those of Andrew Carnegie to different institutions, about $28,000- 000; Mrs. Standford, Stanford Uni- versity, $20,000,000; Cecil Rhodes, Anglo-American scholarships, $10,- 000,000; P. A. B. Widener, memorial training school for crippled children, $9,000,000; Stephen Girard, Girard College, $8,000,000; George Pea- body, $7,000,000; William Marsh Rice, $#6,000,000; Marshall Field, $5,000,000; and D. B, Fayerweather, $4,000,000. A total of $170,000,- 000.00. What are the advantages of all this education? 1. The money- earning power. Unskilled laborer reaches maximum age at 22 and gets Good Clothe and Nothing Else L o Rev. W. T. S. Spriggs, pastor ofj the Loyalty Baptist church of Min- neapolis, spoke from the text 23:21 “Moses lived the child life with| God. God admitted him to this| intimacy. God made known his| ways unto Moses. Moses had bold-| ness before God. One great difficulty | of young people is the inconsistency | of Christians. | “The place newr God is an exaiiéd | place. The Christian’s calling is a, dignified life. It is a safe place. It is a place of vision; of God and his goodness—a place of vision of God’s | name.” | Rev. Graham Lee spoke on the, subject, “Is'a man a fool for going as a foreign missionary?” | It was one of the most stirring| talks on foreign missions that we| have heard for several years. Mr.| Lee was foremost in the wonderful | Korean revival last year, when hundreds became Christians. Fifteen years ago, in the begin-| ning of Mr. Lee’s work in Korea, he! and Mr. S. A. Moffatt were sur- rounded by a mob intending to drive | them out of Pyeng Yang. i Last April, when Mr. Lee left for| this country, the railway station was crowded and the tracks for several| yards were lined by Koreans, some. of whom had come three miles to} say goodbye. ! In vivid pictures the speaker told of the wonderful confessions of sin;| the agony of conviction, and the beautiful peace resulting from these confessions and repentances, during the great revival. A man certainly is not a fool going as a foreign missionary. Mr. Lee has returned to Minne- apolis for a brief visit with his mother, after which he will return to | Korea. A crowded house attented this service, which was presided over by | Rev. McGaughey of Two Harbors. An addition has been made to the platform, to accommodate a large chorus. The meetings are doubtless | the best in the history of the con-| ference. This Morning’s Session. At this morning’s session, Rev. S. F. Sharpless, of Iergus Ialls, presided. Rev. Dougald McIntyre, of Moorhead, conducted devotional exercises, Matt. 7:7, forming the central thought. Mr. McIntyre gave a very helpful study of prayer. Dr. Hodgman, president of Macal- ester College, gave a splendid com-| parison between the ancient forms of civilization and the blessings of the age of Christ. The Twentieth Century will doubt- less be the age of higher education. It will not be an age for the struggle of democracy. Woman’s suffrage will not be a startling fact, for it contains the old principals there should be “no taxation without repre- sentation.” Religous leaders no doubt believe that this century will be known as the age of a great spiritual revival, But these will be gradual, and there- fore will hardly characterize the age. It will be known as the college age, because of: I. The demand for six year high ‘it is clear that strong men The teacher carries into his profes- ion a large measure of devotion,and finds his chief recompense in the work itself; but, in the long run, will be attracted in diminishing numbers to this profession unless with the moral and intellectual reward there can be coupled at least stability of employment and protection against old age. Interested in this situation, and| desiring to aid in a large and help- ful way the whole body of American teachers, Mr. Andrew Carnegie| decided to found an agency for pro- viding in the higher institutions of learning in America a system of retiring allowances. And in doing this, we had in mind not only the betterment of the teacher, the relief of men who find themselves helpless after long years of honorable work, the dignifying of the teacher’s calling, but also the freshening of work of the colleges themselves, by enabling them to put new men into the places of those whom old age or disability has rendered unfit for service. Mr. Carnegie made the announce- ment of his purpose in the following letter, addressed to the twenty-five men whom he had selected as trustees: New York, April 16, 1905. GentLEMEN:—I have reached the conclusion that the least rewarded of all the professions is that of the teacher in our higher educational institutions. New York city gener- ously, and very wisely, provides retiring pensions for teachers in her public schools and also for |her policemen. Very few indeed of ‘our college are able to do so. The con- sequences are grievous. Able men hesitate to adopt teaching as a career, and many old professors whose places should be occupied by younger men cannot be retired. I have therefore transferred to you and your successors a§ truste ten million dollars, five per cent first mortgage bonds of the United States steel corporation, the revenue from which is to provide retiring pensions for the teachers of universities, col- leges and technical schools in our country, Canada and New Found- land, under such conditions as you may adopt from time to time. Expert calculation shows that the revenue will be ample for the pur- pose. Forcing out broken in Shoes and Oxfords, Florsheim $5.00 Shoes $3.65 sizes Boys’ tioLs. 3.

Rockefeller, in a lump sum, yes- terday, is to be raised to $50,000,- 000 according to the expectation of members of the board. p The additional donations are expected from other rich men, that were friends of the Rocke- fellers who are interested with him school courses. \We are beginning SRl in his charitable enterprises.
