Daniels Park Church 25th Anniversary Celebrated with Silver Birthday

The Daniels Park Presbyterian church marks a 25 year milestone in its current building with a Silver Birthday party on Wednesday December 28. The Rev W O Harless of Ames will deliver the main address with the Rev William M Evans speaking on the church past and future. The event wraps three weeks of observances begun with a homecoming service and roll call. The history traces to early 20th century Dundee mission work and the church’s 1912 incorporation and 1913 new building dedication.

Blackburn College in Carlinville Illinois imposes admission rules aimed at selecting industrious students. President Dr William M Hudson says applicants must show willingness to work through 15 hours of manual labor weekly and prove high scholastic ability or pass an intelligence test. Only about 300 of 3000 to 4000 inquiries can be admitted due to housing limits.

Blackburn College’s work plan relies on student labor and hearts

Under Dr. Hudson a student work committee directs two and a half hours of daily labor by boys alongside Carlinville union workers to build and maintain five college buildings including a new $60,000 gymnasium. The plan cuts education costs and promotes a self-help ethic, with women kept from strenuous chores. Dr. Hudson, a tireless worker, leads by example and aims to revitalize Blackburn’s endowment now at $1 million.
