DEPARTMENT FOR SOUTH-
WESTERN UNIVERSITY.
Inasmuch as our Church in Texas
has established a Medical Department
in Dallas, the question now comes
forcibly to our mind, “Why not have
a Theological Department also?” Sure-
ly one of the first duties of the Church
in providing education is to make the
most ample provision for the best
training of its ministers.
The great success of the Summer
School of Theology is a suggestion of

I notice a note in a recent copy of
the Texas Christian Advocate to the
effect that “the son of Rev. C. L. Chil-
ton entered upon the itineracy at the
same time that the father withdrew
from the ministry and membership of
the Methodist Church.”' Will you
please kindly state in the columns of
your paper that I was admitted on
trial into the Alabama Conference in
December, 1902, but discontinued my
relation last December, and withdrew
from the membership of the Methodist
Church for substantially the same rea-
son assigned by my father—that is, a
conscientious conviction that it was
my duty.
