CHICAGO ILL. Fob. 10. A great
body of eminent men from various
sections of tin United States are con
gregated hora todiy for the purpbso of
attending the convention of the Relig-
ious Education Association and de-
vising ways and means to promulgate
the doctrines of this association
throughout the land.
The speeches included those of such
men as President Northrup of the
University of. Minnesota President S.
C. Mitchell of the University of South
Carolina and Rabbi Emit G. Hlrscn of
Chicago.
An Interesting paper on religious
teaching was presented at the Relig-
ious Education Association Convention
today by president Northrup of the
Inlvorslty of Minnesota. President
Northrup's paper had particular refer-
ence to religious worship In state in-
stitutions. He said in part:
"The law does not shut men out
from worship and religious teaching;
it only forbids these things in certain
places and at certain time. T think
that the essentials of Christianity mi
be taught In any Institution whvo the
state laws do not positively prohibit
any religious instruction of any kind.
?hn teaching of Jesus was mainly foi
tin building of character and to oir-
phaslze the especial elements of the
desired character. Men are not saved
because they have prophsled In his
name and In his name done many won-
derful works; they ar9 saved because
they have honestly been working for
him and with him for the nqdom
Which he represents.
"The man who Is searching for tech-
nical religious Instruction; such as
the church is accustomed to give- or
was accustomed to givo years ago;
may not find It; but when you tell a
student that he must exercise self-control
restrain his appetites and pas-
sions be kind and just and helpful
to his fellowmen and do to thorn as he
would wish them to do to him and
that be must be reverent If he would
lend a truly manly life you are teach-
ing him a large amount of truth; it
may not bo religious technical idlg-
ious teaching "but It is Christ-like
teaching for It is in the interest of
noble character for which Jesus him.
self so earnestly labored. The world
calls with longing for this develop-
ment even though It does not recog-
nize Christianity in the matter at all
and there is no reason apparently
why the churches should not avail
themselves of the splendid opportuni-
ty thus furnished to impress upon the
most important part of the rising gen-
eration the truth which Is so dear to
the churches.
"Wo can mako no distinction be-
tween the Mothodlsts the Baptists and
all the others. We cahnot say that tho
ProtestantB are right and tho Catho-
lics are wrong or vice versa but
wo can' In the Interests of tho highest
and noblest development of character
commend and enforce all tho essential
principles governing the life of tho
Ideal man as shown In tho Groat
Teacher. If the enforcement of these
principles does not lead n man In tho
churches' view actually Into the King-
dom of Heaven it leads him so near to
It as to give him a vision of tho land of
Beulah and to mako It easy for him to
go Into that land It ho so desires"
Address of Dr. Mitchell.
"Tho doctrinaire has done ns much
mischief In the education of the negro
as in his attempt to thrust politics
upon liinu I should like to submit
the wholo question of negrp education
tion to a now experiment snid Presi-
dent S C Mitchell of tho University

'Moral Education.
Moral Education and Religious Edu-
cation was the subject discussed by
Rabbi.was the subject discussed by
nights session of the convention of the
Religious Education Association. Dr.
Hirsch Bald In part:
"Efficiency id tho dominant note In
the program of our generation's ambi-
tious insistances. Worshipers of re-
sults and success we of this day un-
derstand full-well that efficiency Is tho
condltioh upon which depends in moat
case the granting of our idol's favors
and distinctions.
"Religion establishes tho worth-
whileness of the moral life. It links
morality to universal and eternal
plans and purposes.
"The bearing of religious education
on moral efficiency is apparent. It
brings home the eternal 'Thott Bhalt
and "Thou oughtst" but transmutes
them into hopeful and stimulating
'Thou canst' At this point tho value
of the biographical element in Biblical
literature is thrown into bold relief.
Biblical writings are only to a limited
degree speculative. They are illustra
tive of fundamental truths made ef-
fective In personality Say what one
may thoso generations fed spiritually
on the Hannah of Biblical story were
strongest in tho consciousness of per-
sonality. This lent efficiency to their
moral aspirations. They felt the ear-
nestness and seriousness of life the
stewardship which is laid upon each
man In behalf of all men. Their re-
ligion led them to read life In terms
of service which was worth while the
doing and which was always possible
to be dono and therefore had to be
done. They learned to interpret hap-
pening and hazard as revelations of a
plan and purpose unfolding in time
the intentions of eternity. Let us learn
from tho fathers' richer and morally
efficient life the secret of how moral
power will bo sure to be energized by
properly devised and conducted relig-
ious education"
"A Review of Progress".
A review of progress In Religious
and Moral Education was given by
Professor George A. Coo of Northwes-
tern University at today's session of
tho Religious Education Association
Convention.
