announcing his belief in ' ' practical christianity that such a belief is becoming more widespread is il lustrated by just such movements as that under consideration i am proud to see such a turnout of le high men to this meeting ' ' he said and believe that it is the best meeting of its kind ever held here ' ' prof palmer was next called up on and responded with several criti cisms of the system as it has been conducted this year he commented upon the books which were used as a guide in this year's discussions on the grounds that although the subjects are no doubt interesting and precisely what should be known they were too hackneyed to enlist enthusiasm if there is one thing lehigh needs it is religion so the proper subject for discussion would be what is religion and what are 1 the fundamentals of christianity he concluded by of fering three practical suggestions for improvement the secretary continued on fifth page the brown and white lehigh university bethlehem pa friday march
