TO the criticisms of Scribner's
Monthly upon the practice of fur
nishing pecuniary aid to theologi-
cal students, as the practice now OBJ

says:
"The American Educational Soci-
ETY. has been in existence sixty-twO
years and has aided 1888 men, at an
expense of $l,800000, or less than
$500 for each. At least $500 of
these ministers are now alive and
serving the churches. We can re-
call . score or more of them. within
easy calling distance of the Scribner
Office. Among the dead who have
been thus helped he names DIR. Mil
