A special and enjoyable feature of the evening's service was the musical programnme furnished by the men's chorus and orchestra of St. Paul's church of South Providence, under the direction of J. D. Vanderbeek. + Rev. Mr. Justice was the first speak- er, He discussed in an exhaustive manrer the growing needs of an edu- cation to fittingly equip a young man of the present day to cope with the problems of life. He said that witih the increaseé number of free high schools throughout the country, the cry liad gone forth that the denomina- tional institution was doomed. He pointed out, however, that with the conditions oconfronting the civilized world today, the first need of man was knowledge. The burdens of this century, he said, were upon the labor- ing classes, and the solution of the great social problem was to be found an interesting theme evening’s se: ed as the a education, | as actual. knowledge, it was necessary for the children of the people to seek the sec- ondary schools, and it was here that the denominational institution took its strongest stand, “for when you divorce education frem religion you rob it of sincerity,” he said. Tells About Academy. Referring to Hast Greenwich acad- emy, the speaker said: ‘‘Within your bor 5, your own academy, 110 years old, has caught a vision of the possi- bilities of the newer education for lite, and she calls upon you, her sup- porters, to help her realize the vision The curriculum of East Greenwich academy fs most diversified in its endeavors to meet the needs of modern life. It aims to be a highly specialized school for those pianning for college, and for those making this the end of their school life, it plans to .give all the necessary Kknowledge and culture that will make it truly the people’s college.” Bishop Anderson spoke for more than an hour, advecating the more general maintenance of the denomina- tional institutions. He said: “Why should we strive so earnestly to maintain a denominational institu- To my mind, there is one very strong reason, 3 reason comprehensive, inclu- sive and convincing, This is the fact that the Christian propaganda has never faced so serious a proposition as at the present time, when man is being taught the great infinitude of time, space and power. The great question of modern life is whether man is to be more of a freeman or more of a slave than in former days; whether man is to be the master of his achievements or a slave or victim thereof. “A little religion will not do for a big world such as this has come to ba, but we have cause for great re- Joicing in the fact that we are taking a larger Interpretation of Christian idealisics, In the olden days, the realm of religious idealiem was di- vided into secular and sacred. But we are outgrowing this .and getting a broader conception of religion, em- bracing therein all nations and all mankind, and for every aspect and phase of the life of man.” World Needs Leaders. Bishop Anderson called attention to the fact that the majority of the great leaders of mankind were products of { Telephone 171, { that this could not be considered ac- eidental. He claimed that what the | worla needed was leaders, and if the | werld was to be directed in the ideal- isms of the mewer Christian under- standings, leaders must be provided, and it was in the denominational in- stitutions that they must be sought.
