The White brothers, old Canadian friends
OF DR.. Bridgman, and who are now travelling
with Chaplain C. c. McCabe, gave quaint
old-fashiOned concert in the university
chapel last Tuesday evening. The programme
opened with sacred selection, "a Song OF
Trust" which showed at once the purity and
harmonious blending of the TWO voices, and
the perfect ease with which each one could
change from tenor to bass and not show q
break in the voice was remarkable. A
tender lullaby song was beautifully
rendered, and negro hallelujah melody
brought down the house. The accompani-
ments were played by one of the singers on
the guitar, and showed great skill as his fin
gers fingered on the strings or fairly danced
to some rollicking darkey tune 1t was truly
a great treat to the students to hear songs
as their fathers and mothers used to listen to
thsm; it seemed like the lay of the last min
strel. The evenings success was repeated to
much larger house Wednesday afternoon.
and the singers proved one of the principal
attractions at the Republican rally at the
town hall that evening.
The literary work of the college is pro-
crossing finely, the debates being especially
interesting. Such questions as "Should the
Bible Be Used in Public Schools 1.-THE Abo-
lition of the House of Lords, 1.-THE Bennett

hearts of future politicians and are discussed
with as much interest as if the fate of the ma
ton depended on their decision. One soci-
ETY. has adopted the novel plan Of forming
itself into senate, and preserves rigorous
observance of the rules governing that body,
1t being very amusing TO hear them talk in
pompous tones Of their constituency ~
Another feature has been moot courts. Then
there is the college paper, to which every one

Tapping his wings, and what wonder when
there is political campaign in progress and
the embryonic politician may listen to such
grandiloquent stump speeches

DR.. Arthur NJ. Edwards, Of Chicago, editor
of the Northwestern Christian Advocate
made short address at the devotional ex-
ercises in the chapel Tuesday morning. He
