Men for the Times Bells Commercial
College. Nothing is more eviden, in the
progress of events, than that men are al.
ways produced in adaptation for the times

great majority could not ioresee it, and
later We, they would not believe il, and
doubted and doubted still until conviction
burst away all barriers, and opened up
the long vista OF certain future. How
rapidly then did pressing wants, before
unknown, begin to be felt, and how often
the question was asked most earnestly,
How shall they be metz How is this
