your attention. Not merely Texas Methodisi toi Iur e 1nt'ire
connection is to be congratulated upon the caco.i. liiz . of
the wonderful feat of raising $500,000,00 within fem- 0ronths'
time. This movement has been brought to till? happy consum-
mation by the leadership of Dr, H. A. BoaSz, ably assisted by
Commissioners Barton, McClure, Watts and Young,
We call special attention to the movement looking to the
raising of the sum of $250,000 for building a sanitarium The
time has come, though late, when we are being awakened to the
call of our Master to care for suffering humanity, Other
Protestant Churches have gone ahead of ours in this important
matter. Not only must be hear the call of our Divine Lord for
His suffering ones and respond to this just claim upon us
because He calls, but for our own sakes must we show forth
His spirit if we would continue to hold the confidence of the
people. Our insistence cannot be too emphatic nor our plea too
urgent for this great enterprise.
Southwestern University.
This institution, for forty years our most conspicuous and
successful educational enterprise, still justifies the faith of
our fathers arrd challenges the loyalty of their sons by main-
taining the highest ideals and doing the most thorough work.
The present session shows the largest attendance of students
of college grade ever enrolled in the history of the school.
This is true though the requirements for such grade are being
constantly raised and the most thorough preparation required.
No college of our Church can boast of a more glorious record
for the same period. Thorough work in her class rooms, the
highest ethical standards for her student body, and the ever-
present recognition that there is a soul to be saved, a life to
be redeemed as well as a mind to be instructed and trained
have ever been the dominant principles with this institution.
Never has this school been in better condition, and never has" F1,_I - O T- R 1 . f i, A
