Special to the Express.

Greencastie, Ind., Sept. 22.—The school year o£ DePauw began today with excellent prospects for a large attendance. The new vice chancellor, Dr. W. H. Hickman, for Beveral years pastor of the First Methodist ChuPch of Terre Hayte, delivered an addrees on "The' Church and the State in Higher Education." This address may be accepted as outlining the policy of the authorities of DePauw and as indicating that they will be in the movement next year to secure legislation which will deprive the state schools of some of the advantages they now possess. Dr. Hickman's address was as follows:

In these days the issue between moral, or religious education, and secular education is being sharply defined, especially in higher education. The state university and the •.church univereiay cover much of the same .ground. They seek the same class of students. But they, differ widely in many respects.

These two great institutions are not supplementary. They are not co-ordinate. They tire not cognate in conception. They stand for different ideas. They are in many respect unlike, if not antagonistic. They cannot be of equal worth to a nation. The prosperity of one of these schools is often the adversity of the other the Increased riches of the one, the poverty of the other.

These two institutions are potters, and the clay coming from their hands is unlike in stamp, in sentiment and in standards.

On the first statement of these propositions they seem unreasonable, they seem unfair but followed through their deeper principles, dispassionately and fairly, and the conclusions are inevitable.

First, The state has a different conception of the student from that of the church. The state sees the student between Ihe cradle and the casket. It makes the civic side all important. It can take no knowledge, therefore, of the student on the side of immortality, and can follow him no further than the grave.,

The church has altogether a different conception of the student. It sees him as a double faced unit. One side of his being Is buman, temporal the other side, spiritual and immortal.

The state seeks to make a law abiding citizen, to teach the student how to obey the law, how to serve the state, how to succeed in temporal pursuits in other words, the survival of the fittest. A man may be depraved, selfish, a miser, a prodigal, or a Shylock, and yet keep all the political commandments of the state. He may be a good citizen in a political sense of the word. WH1A.T TH®3 CHURCH SEEKS TO DO.

The church, like the state, sees the student as a citizen, seeks his political well being, and provides him for the best phase of citizenship and successful living. But the church sees vastly more than civic duties or successful living in this life. The church deals with the student in his relation to the Infinite. It olaims that right character and right education are an everlasting possession, and has a value vastly more in the world to come than it has in the' life that now is. It follows, therefore, that the state and the church have differen! conceptions of right education, and must adopt different methods to reach the ends. •Second, The moral factor is the most important element in character. It is the only sure guarantee of how Intelligent power will be applied. The preservation of the state depends on moral education indeed, the moral element is the very soul of government. •Mr. Price says, "The end, if not the beginning, of all public education must be moral. Any other foundation is sand rather than rock. All history emphasizes the fact that in times of great depression and levere calm, or high partisan passion, the moral character of the people is our only reliance—our only hope. From the ruined capitals of empires comes the silent, but mighty, appeal for virtue, rather than physical or mental power. Make the people severely moral and they will make glorious »nd immortal our republic."

But the state does not and cannot teach the deeper and firmer moral principles. The gtate has a secular morality and cannot get beyond that. Secular morality puts asunder whait God has joined together, namely, it divorces faith in God and religious teachings, and bases morality on the principles of human relations and sentiments. There can be no strong abiding morality

without faith in God e£& religious teaching. Secular moral training lacks warmth and the divine soul. It fails to establish .1 tinship among men in the* fatherhood of God. It fails to establish the duty to man as God. Hence, we have over-weaamg individualism, which says one man's opinion is as good as another—moral principles degenerating to sentiment or custom

Then arises the right of the individual to correct his own wrongs. If you weaken faith in God and justice to fellow man as obedience to God, then you prepare the way for human standards of morality, and conduct cannot get above the human wrongs.

RESPECT IKR IiAW LOWERED. There is no doubt but what the state, or secular system of education in morals, has lowered the moral sentiment and moral respect {or law throughout this republic. That is one of the dangers of the hour. This loss of respect for law, this open and shameful disobedience, this lawlessness that results so often in the destruction of property and life, has a philosophy, and that philosophy Is the low or wrong moral standard among men, a lack of sympathy and love for man, as the result of the lack of love and obedience to God. Mr. Powell says "All civilization everywhere is now suffering from a demoralized condition."

Here is the standard and methods of moral teaching for thfe stale schools as indicated by that champion of state universities, Mr. E. P. Powell of New York. He says: "If we go on to secularize the school system we are bound to furnish a substitute for religious authority in character building." What is that substitute offered for the Bible and religious training? He says: ''Much can be gained from the increased ratio of scientific studies. "When our youth face the fact in biology that they are the supreme result of nature's work for millions of years, they cannot help the growing consciousness that no one owns himself that he is rather a trustee in charge of all the evolution has achieved since life began." "Scitence prepares the way for three things," says this gentleman: "First, for self-valued life second, for successful business pursuits thir-d, for higher moral relations to nature, including self and mankind."

That, my friends, is the standard of moral teaching for the state university as set up by -this prophet of state school^.

Mow does that standard compare with the old standard the church ^school sets up, namely, "Thoa shaltflove the Lord, thy God with all thy heart, and thy neighbor as thyself."

If that stahdard set up by "Mr. Powell is to prevail in state schools, then be not surprised to see the slowly, but surely, 'sinking moral sentiment of the republic be not surprised when violence, fraud, roguery and class legislation shall have culminated in anarchy and overthrow of civil government, for these things will come to pass as sure as effect follows cause.

The responsibility' for the low standard of morals itf politics, in business in (Social life, is not found inside the ciiWch college or university, and I am happy to say there are some state schools not guilty. TENDENCY TO LOSE GOVERNMENT.

Our state universities have been compelled! to listen to a trinity of'sirens for these many years, and the deceptive voice has had its effect. One is the infidel voice, which sings against religious teaching and claims immunity from church dogma and church influences.

Another sings the warning of sectarianism and ecclesiastical interference in secular affairs, a third sings the abolition Of paternal government of faculty. Give us, that voice says, the largest liberty, give us Ifraternalism and teach self-control by the •largest liberty.

These, with political pulls and a divided sentiment and faith in fatuity, where orthodox teacher, liberal teacher and skeptic •teacher meet the students on common grounds, have mad& loose "government and •liberal drift to dangerous limits.

Third, The discipline exercised in the two 5nstiitutions differs greatly. The church school speaks bodily against intemperance and worldly amusements. But the state school is either as silent as the tomb on those questions, or is indifferent, if not antagonistic, to the efforts to suppress the •liquor traffic and break up certain sinful amusements. The church says, "Touch not, taste not, handle not," and "Cursed is he who putteth the bottle to fiis neighbor's lips."Thechurchsays,"The saloon must go." But the state provides for unlimited license in dealing with liquor, and Uxes the people who make and sell liquor in order to share in getting revenue. The state college may deal with cases of drunkenness but it does not and cannot attempt to suppress the fountains that make drunkards.

WHAT CHURCH SCHOOLS OPPOSE. Again, the church school government opposes the ball room, the theater, and certain other worldly amusements. It seeks to protect the student in his hours of recreation and rest. The church school has its faculty conduct religious services once a day in chapel with, the student body. The church school believes in revivals, and seeks to lead the unconverted to Chritst, knowing that if the young man or yo woman comes to coil?£? unconverted anl leaves tie college unconverted, the chances are they never will be counted among the children of God. Hence, effort is made by teachers and students united, to lead the unsaved students to. the Christian faith.

I say Christian faith. It cannot be said of any church universiay in the land that it uses undue influences to make the student believe in that special creed represented by the school. Nearly every faculty of the church schools in the land represent different Christian denominations. Our own fac­

MEAGER COMMON SCHOOL FUND. The common school fund of Indiana furnsihes such a meager support to teachers that there are .districts in the 6tate, sparsely settled, that cannot have more than two months and a half schooling per year without a special tax levied by the trustee on the patronizing district. Suppose the trustee is opposed to taxation, as some are, or suppose the parents of the children are opposed to taxation, as some are, or suppose the parents of the children are opposed to taxation for school purposes, as some are, then we have the unfortunate condition of a school district having but two months and a half of school per year, citizens growing up at such a great disadvantage. And if limited to the state fund alone we should soon have thousands of Illiterate voters who could not read the name on their ballots. But these same citizens are compelled to pay taxes for a professional or higher education, which is simply giving capital, to a few, offering facilities for a higher education to enrich a class of people, while they themselves are practically debarred.

I believe in special taxation but that special taxation should, be to supplement the. common school fund till every district in the state should have at least seven mouths of public schol per year without local taxation, irrespective! of its enumeration. The scarcely settled districts should be cared for. It is a law of God that the strong should help bear the burdens of the weak. And that law is just as good ifl political economy and state gdvernmenfas it is in church life. Beyond that kind of epe* cial taxation, the state should not go.

WHERE STATE'S POWERS CEASE. If the state is to continue the university business, however, then it' should spread out and pour out till it brought technical, professional, and the highest general education to every man's door. It is not right to stop toy taxing the many to provide advantages for the few. Professional and higher education are invested capital, 'the state ihas no more right to give a student professional education than it has to give its property to individual and favored citizens. 1 repeat, if the state university method is to continue, then it should teach the underlying principles of industrialism, the principles of engineering and mining in the broadest sense. It should provide a school of dentistry and dendrology, of pharmacy and physics, of medicine and law and theology, and all the special lines and professions. There should 'Be a department to teach Calvinistic theology, and one to teacn Armenian theology, and one to teach the Roman theology and usages. There should be a department to teach the Jewish theology, the Adventist, the Hixite Quaker, the Unitarian, and all the rest. The 150 sects and denominations in the state should clamor for rights and protection, and the-infidel should clamor for protection against every one of them. There should be a §choql for homeopathy in medicine, afid allopathy, and the eclectic system, and on through the differentiations of theology,', medicine, and all the rest. And let us remember -that these schools cannot be taught in'/he same room and at the same time What is tri^th to some of them is error to others,' What is essential to some is non-essential to others.

It must be apparent to every thoughtful man that to attempt such provision as this is to attempt the impracticable, if not the impossible, and yet this is a legitimate conclusion, and to stop short of this conclusion is to stop short of equity, and provide the way for continual strife over the work of state universities.

EXPENSE OF STATE EDUCATION." Again, the state is not able to furnish such opportunities if it was right and possible. The most expensive kind of education is state education^ It costs th^, stat« ow about $600 per student, and even more than that in some instances, while it costs some church schools less than half that sum, and yet no one will dare say the befct church school is not the equal of the Tiest state a

Fifth. The state school idea of free education discourages the Independent spirit of self-reliance on the part of the student. It fosters the spirit of dependence and abets

ulty here in DePauw, while it is Methodistic in spirit and belief and loyal to the church as a body, yet it represents three or four Christian denominations, and I am glad it is so. But it cannot be truthfully said, this & a sectarian school. It is Christian and cathollstic, but not sectarian. And that which is true of this university is doubtless true of every church university in the country.

The state school could not attempt religious Work indeed, some state schools hardly go through the form of religious exercises, and little effort is made on the part of the government to secure church attendance, or in any way to keep the student under church influence. (Fourth, The principle that the state (should, provide professional or higher education is un-American—it is wrong. The state should, indeed,, provide fre schools to make, every child in the republic ,an intelligent* citizen but beyond the provision of the High School, which furnishes an academic education, the state should not go. It is not right for the state to levy a special tax to support a professional school or to provide for higher or university education. We ought to accept, however, the State Normal, which is equipping teachers for common school work. As long as the church schools of the state are as ill-equipped for pedagogical work, the State Normal is a necessity, and should have our endorsement and support but the conditions could be changed for the better of student and state.

mendicancy. One of the best phases of a boy's ^fcicatibn is secured by his efforts to help himself, to pay for what he gets, measure .for measure, and get what he has by a struggle- Education is not so much information gathered rrom booffts, experience and teachers but an educated man is a man withi trained faculties. He may get that training without ever entering a university, and indeed, some of the best trained characters we have in American life .never enrolled in a college. They have come to full-orbed manhood or womanhood by application and maintaining the equation of give.,and receive. If we would say the splint of self-reliance and independence, so common in American life, then make the best things cheap and the largest possessions* gift. ©HINTFttOENCE OF THE ANCIENTS.

Sixth. The state university scheme 'tends to dry up the fountains'of benevolence. We are-cot making as wise use of our rich mfen as some of the old world nations made. In the days of Athenian democracy they had "(Liturgies" of the rich—a kind of law by which certain rich men having so much wealth were charged with the cost of dramas, choruses, processions, games, embassies and feasts. la time of war they were required to arm and man a ship. We owe the tragedies and comedies of the great poets to the munificence of these wealthy patrons. The matchless designs and sculpture of a Phidias stand as an inspiration to the artistic-world by the gift of liberal citizens. The temples, statues, monuments, theaters, race courses, baths, aqueducts, gardens, libraries, academies, colonnades, pictures, books and museums, all were showered upon favored cities by wealthy men. This law became so popular that the rich vied with each other In giving to the public. Herodes Atticus gave to Athens some of her most splendid public works that stand to this day. If they cost more than $20,000,000 in that day, what would they cost "fn this day? Talk about your great givers in America. There has not appeared a man in these days that has poured out his money for the public like that princely Atticus in the days of Grecian democracy.

J£ is understood that the French government will buy pictures, statues, gardens, galleries and fountains with the people's tax. The result is that in France no private person ever gives to the public anything.

The fountains of private benevolences are dried up when the staie comes forward, as a parent, and supplies our public wants. We have today many splendid examples of the rich giving to benefit the masses. But let the state university idea be carried to its full limits, and these fountains will be turned to selfish purposes, to create grandee^, nabobs and aristocrats, to building up great private fortunes, to making the gap between men greater, and putting a harder strain upon democratic institutions. Nothing could happen to this country that would tend more to accelerate anarchism and socialism, to the overthrow of great riches, thanvto have great fortunes turn from blessing? the public to family display and sinful

LIBHRAILITY OF PRIVATE CITIZENS. The Bradley-Martin affair did unmeasured harm by imbittering hearts that were struggling for bread. But if the same amount of money had been given to a school, a public library, or a fountain, instead of wasted on sinful display, these same struggling masses would 'have had & kindly memory of the name and the gift, and brotherly sympathy would have received something, and the national bond made stronger.

IThere is no state in the Union that would attempt such gifts as some of our private citizens have already given to Christian schools, and that which has been done, by some rich men will be repeated, only in greater ratio, provided Christian education is: not'sapped and girded by1"secular education, for our country has jnore great fortunes than any other country, and our people are more democratic and liberal than any other people.

Finally, the church cannot give up her schools. We do not think the church should attempt academic training or parochial schools. We think our Roman friends are wrong in that point. The public school does that work -well, and that is where academic training should be done. tiut the church must train her own leaders. The church that is fortified in its own universities today is the church of power apdgjeadership tomorrow. If there is a church that is without colleges and universities today—if that church would seek tcj be more than a mere oddity in methods o* a, passing revival—if that church would pQtf^nch itself, to be known as a power of reform and salvation, rather than a fungo^,,or ephemeral growth, then it must sell its garments and equip itself with colleges and-universities, or prepare for dissentions, tijvigions and defeat, for the time is at hand whpiv our country is not only a battle field betjfteen right and wrong, but a battle field $leas, of doctrines and polity between jqd8 and churches, and the strongest clutch, the best equipped leadership in clufich life, will be the survival of the fittest. It does not take a prophet's eye to see that the twentieth century will bury jrfany of the creeds and sects that were born in the tenth century.

WHAT METHODISM MUST DO. The Methodist Episcopal Church was born in a university, and has done her full share in* founding and equiping great schools. But if the Methodist Episcopal Church is to continue In growth and power, she must continue to" Increase her endowments and make larger provision for the training of her "own leadership, for she cannot make headway by the things that were once pe­

culiar to her in polity or doctrine, for these things hay-e 'become the common property of some sister chrfrche*, and are quite as effectual in their hands as they are In ours. The (Methodist Episcopal Church must sake headway by the gravity of character, the ability of leadership and the soundness of New Testament teaching and living.

The (Methodist Episcopal Church has had little trouble, ^indeed, oil the Question of doctrine or polity. We have never had -a schism on doctrine. We scarcely ever have a church trial on doctrine. This Is not accidental, nor is it the result.of mere Chris* tian sympathy and fervor, but it is the result of our own careful teaching in doctrine and leadership. 1 repeat, the church cannot turn to the state tfor leadership. There ia laid upon the Methodists of Indiana a sagred obligation,. a sacred trust, that we should maintain our own DePauw University.

This institution, that was born in t£e days of our poverty and struggles for existence—this institution, that has been cherished and supported by our noble laymen and ministers—must have our sympathy, our support and our gifts. There was a time -when our DePauw University was better equipped than some of the great church schools in sister states but some of them have gone ahead of us in endowments. Here we stand like a veteran regiment in the thick of the battle without ammunition, drilled and equipped, full of courage and enthusiasm, because of the splendid record and victories in the past but held back from the highest rank in the nation for the lack of funds. (WHERE CHURCH IS AT FAULT

There are great social, Industrial and political problems confronting this nation that must be solved. They are like the riddle of the Sphinx—not to solve rightly is to be destroyed. These problems cannot be solved under non-American, non-Christian leadership.

One of the unfortunate mistakes in these troubled times is that the church has not put itself in the leadership of all reforms. We ought to have learned from the bitter experiences of the past not to let reform movements be led and taught by imbittered, misled, but brave men. The church and the university should furnlBh this leadership. 'Methodism is closer to the people than almost any other church to the land. Methodism has a polity and a creed that gives her peculiar advantages in molding the masses. There is a greater responsibility, therefore, laid upon the Methodist Church, for the preservation of our civil institutions and the perpetuity of our government, than any other church in America. Will the Methodist [Episcopal Church in Indiana rise to this opportunity and prove true to this sacred trust and responsibility, in equipping DePauw University, full handed and full armed, to help solve the problems of civil and. Christian institutions in this pivotal state of Indiana? (Mr. DePauw came to us when we were embarrassed, and his princely soul gave i^s a1 princely gift, to which we should have added. But we made the foolish mistake of drawing off, under the impression that the university was rich enough. Our small gifts ceased, and our sympathy was suspended. We did not pray at our family altars for this great school like our fathers prayed. We did not seek our people and friends who had money to give1, like our fathers sought them. We let this great school come into these unparalleled times with our sentiments divided and our support luke-warm.

This institution, like scores of others, has suffered great loss and has had a struggle to maintain its high standard and its full teaching force. We now see our mistake, and I am glad that the (Methodist ministers and people of Indiana are coming forward with their old time fervor and resolve. And the day of adversity of DePauw University is the morning of her larger endowment and church support.

Our northwest Indiana conference will give $5,000 this year, and I verily believe there will never come a day when that conference will give less than it gave this year, although this year's gift was larger than usual. The north Indiana conference will do as well. And we have a right to believe that the old Indiana conference, that gave the name to the institution—that located it in one of the be§t. locations in the state— that stood by.it in the days of Its childhood. —will do as. muc#u in. these days of larger opportunity and -larger-., riches among the IMethodlsts. of Indiana,

DHJPAUW MUST BE CARED FOR. The Methodist Church in Indiana has not

v..

another obligation more sacred, nor more important, than the care of this institution for the next few years, till the -fountains of giving are opened up again, and this schoo! is richly endowed. The time never, wlil come when this institution will not need money, and when we should not be giving.

The missionary cause is important. The church extension cause and the Free-dmen cause are all important causes, and we should stand by them. But no one of them, or all of them combined, have a greater claim upon the Methodists of Indiana than the claims of our own university at this time.

If the church raises $1,000 for missions, it should raise $1,000 for DePauw University. If it raises $100 for benevolences, it should raise $200 to endow this great school, for every dollar we put into the endowment of this institution will bring us compound interest for the benevolent causes and the kingdom of Christ, in all the years to come. We could not place money anywhere Where it would do more to build up our church— to extend the kingdom of Christ, to make imperishable our civil Institutions and to

liasten the day tor the salvation of this world—than to give our money to endow that institution.

Our own sons and daughters are crowding her halls. They find there the same discipline and spirit they left Id their Christian homes. They come under a body oi Christian teachers, directed by one of out own ministers and surely, it is our blessed opportunity and sacred duty to see that OUT own sons and daughters have the very best advantages, here in the heart of our own state, that endowments, teachers and facilities can give. (When Missionary Ridge was captured, thirty-four years ago, General Willich's lint reached the crest of the hill first, when thai old battle-scarred German shouted back tc the brigade on the left and rear, "Bring uf your flag to the top of the hill."

Some of the college colors have gone toward the top of the hill, ahead of DePauw but by loyalty and liberality of the Meihodists in Indiana, the old-gold banner of DePauw University shall yet flutter on th» hill top, among the bravest and the best.
