Feb. 21.—That Chi- cora college be merged with Queens College, Charlotte, N. C., which would mean the removal from Columbia is the recommend ation of the permanent committee on education of the Presbyterian Synod of South Carolina. The re port will be made to the synod at a time to be designated. The board of trustees of Chicora was called to meet here today for the purpose of hearing the commit tee’s recommendation. W. G. Querry, chairman of the board of trustees, said that the board had learned that the com mittee oh education had favored acceptance of the Queens College offer. Members of the committee had refused to make any an nouncement pertaining to the recommendation. • The other suggestion had been to merge with P. C. College at Clinton.* Both mergers, however, are on the promises th it SSOO.MO is not raised for Chicora for en dowment. In the case that the amount should be available no change of status would be neces sary. PKEMENAL GAIN IN TRUST SERVICES By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers Association S O phenomenal has been the incraase of trust business that statisticians are unable to keep a true record of Its advancement. There are now something like 3,500 active trust departments i n banks in America, while in 1900 only 1G5 active trust departments had been established. In becoming the custodians or the guardians of the property of oth ers, bankers as- John G. Lonsdale sume .what has been fittingly described as one of the “most exalted human relationships ever created by law.” They become at once a big brother, a big sister, an advisor, or a confessor, sworn so to conduct themselves that clients will be won to them by their ability and integrity. Thousands of little children have re ceived an education and have been started off right in life through the trust department’s safe keeping and guidance of the family estate, number less widows have been protected from merciless stock swindlers, many thou sands of business men have been re lieved of troublesome details in the conduct of their business through the creation of a living trust and still others have safeguarded their busi ness enterprises through life insur ance trusts. The favorable reaction of thejmblic toward trust department service is not accidental. It may be traced jointly to the growing intelligence of the American people in financial affairs and to advertising to the world at large the merits of trust services. Ad vertising used in a sensible, judicious way is necessary, a power that has ac complished much good for humanity. Among the detailed services, ren dered by a trust department the one that seems to be winning favor the fastest is the life insurance trust. Life irlsurance is the quickest known way of creating an estate. In reality it af fords the possessor the ‘opportunity of setting up a positive ifioneiary safe guard for his family and then paying for it on the installment plan. A married man is net fair to his family if he fails to carry life insur ance. I would say to the young man, “Buy insurance be.iore you buy the ring,” and to the young woman I would say, “Marry na man so thought less as to scoff at life insurance REVERSES OLD IDEA Business Institutes Use the Plan of Getting People to Think Rather Than Merely to Learn. There is one general principle at the basis of all good teaching and it is that a person learns more readily by assimilating the experiences which he himself encounters than in any other way, says Harold Stonier, Na tional Educational Director of the American Institute of Banking. This institute is the educational section of the American Bankers Association through which 35.000 bank men and women are receiving scientific instruc tion in their chasen business. “The most advanced people in teaching today are emphasizing the importance of activity on the part of the student.” he says. “In the school room of former clays we often heard such phrases as, ‘Be still,’ ‘Learn by- heart,’ ‘Don’t do that/ ‘What does the book say?’ The newer education asks. ‘What do you think?/ ‘What was your reaction to that experiment?.’ ‘What did you discover?/ ‘What rea sons have you for answer?* The New School Calls for Action “The ‘expressing’ school is taking the place of the repressing and lis tening school. The classroom is be coming an open forum, a studio of self- expression, a place of mental growth. The modern concepts of education are personal experimentation, individual investigation, critical discussion and creative self-expression. The pupil really learns only as he Is able to assimilate t4ie new meanings of facts ami principles with his previous ex periences. Activities therefore con stitute the pivotal force around which are grouped the new f&ctors In educa tion. The primary responsibility c>f the teacher is to furnish a constant stream of activities which will afford the stimulating urge to mental growth. “Education is a process of experi encing, and the program of the insti tute is so arranged as to give the greatest opportunity to gain by such experience. Through this we develop the art of thinking. Thinking has been described as the ability to han dle experience and to bring it to bear oa a problem. Effective thinking arises when we are presented with the choice of conduct. Our previous experiences become helpful as wa marshal them aud bring them to bear upon the matter of our choice.” The students in the American Insti tute of Banking by reason of the fact that they continue to go on about their employment In hanks while takli^g the banking asstfeiation’s study courses have an opportunity to combine learn ing with practical thinking and action.

Lesson for March 2 JESUS TEACHING ABOUT HIMSELF LESSON TEXT—Matthew tl:*-12:50. GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto iijw. all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1 will give you rest. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus the Friend of A ! I1. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus the Great Helper. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—Who Jesus Was YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Our Lord’s Testimony Concerning Himself. I. How the Kingdom Was Received (ch. 11). In showing the attitude of heart o? tiie people, four classes of hearers are described. 1. The perplexed hearers, like John the Baptist (vv. 2-11). John believed that Jesus was the Christ (v. 2), but was somewhat per plexed as to the manner of the estah lishment of the kingdom. The Bap tist had in his preaching mainly em phasized the line of prophecy which made the King to be a mighty con queror (Matt. :-i:10-!2). He -said that the ax is laid unto the root of the tree and that these "was to he a separation of the chaff from the wheat and a miming of the chaff. John saw Christ as the one who would remove the sins of the people by the shedding of His blood (John 1:20), but he failed to see the interval between the tnne of His suffering and the time of His triumph. 2. Violent hearers (vv. 12-19). Th: j se we-e willing to receive the kingdom according to their own way. but were unwilling to conform to its laws. They seized it with violent hands. They would not repent when called upon to do so by John, nor re joice to do so when called upon by- Christ (vv. 17-19). 3. Tiie stout-hearted unbelievers frvv. 20-24). In Clmrazin, Bethsnidn and Caper naum, Christ had done most of His mighty works, but the people delib erately set their hearts against Him and His message. Tyre and Sidon were filled with immoral profligates and idolaters, hut they will be more tolerably dealt with in tiie Day of Judgment than will those who wil fully reject Jesus Christ. 4. Hearers who are babes in spirit (vv. 23-30). There were some among the people who heard Jesus with childlike faith. They believed that Jesus was Hie Mes siah and opened their hearts to .re ceive Him. II. The Antagonism to Jesus (ch. 12). in chapter eleven we saw the shame ful indifference of tiie Jews to their King. In this chapter we see the posi tive and hitter antagonism manifest ing itself against Him. The imm^ diate occasion of their wicked deter minatinn was Christ’s relation to the Sabbath. 1. The Son of Man is I.ord of the Sabbath (vv. 1-S). The hungry disciples were plucking corn on tiie Sabbath. With ibis tiie Pharisees found fault. To their cavils Christ replied, ami showed that God’s purpose in instituting the Sabbath was to serve man’s highest interests and to contribute to ids happiness. (1) He is greater than their great es! King. David (vv. 3. 4). (2) He is greater than their sacrifice and priest hood (v. 5). (3.) He is greater than the temple (v. 0). The temple, with its gorgeous rites and ceremonies, was but typical of Himself. (4) He is greater than the Sabbath (v. 9), for He is the very Lord of the Sabbath. 2. Healing the withered hand (vv 9 14). In order that they might accuse Him, they asked. “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath days?” Jesus’ reply was both a question and a declaration 3. Tiie unpardonable sin (vv 22-32). The occasion of their blasphemy against the' Holy Ghost was the cast ing out of tiie demon, in this act. Christ displayed His power to cast out demons. Tiie effect of this miracle was twofold: (1) Upon the multi tude. They were amazed, and cried out, “Is not lids the son of David?’ (2) Upon the Pharisees. When they heard what tiie people were saying, their anger and satnnic malice were aroused. They said He v-ws casting out demons h.v the prince of the demons. With unanswerable logic. He met their accusations and de nianded decision. He charged home upon them their awful guilt. They had attributed the work of the Holy Spirit to tiie devil. This Christ calls the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, for which there Is no pardon. The Last Step Wins It is the last step that wins, and there is mo place in the pilgrim’s prog ress where so many dangers lurk as the region that lies hard by tiie por tals of the celestial city. It is when heaven’s heights are full in view that hell’s gate is most persistent and full of deadly peril.—A. B. Simpson. CHuirans McCormick Holiness Church Schedule McCormick —.
