Miss Misao Tsuni Hirate San, who
is the daughter of a Japanese noble
man, came to this country four years
ago at the age of nineteen years. She
is now about to return home to work as
Christian missionary among her coun-
trymen, notwithstanding the strenuous
opposition of her father.
One of the oldest uses of the Nicene
Creed is that which it is applied to by
the women of ancient Nicae, where
the creed was in great part originally
formulated. They recite it after put
ting eggs IN pot to boil as a measure
of the time needed to cook them. 1t is
said that they do this without any idea
; of irreverenee.-The Churchman.

der Campbell, the founder of the Chris
tian or Campbellite denomination, first
preached in is still standing at Bethany.

Maria Housington, Springfield,
| Mass, left 81, for the American
Board of Foreign Missions ST. 600 for
| the New West Education Commission,
$500 to the Woman's Board of Missions,
| $500 to the American Missionary As
sociation, and $500 to other missionary
work. All these bodies are largely en-
gagged in benefting women. The
women teachers who represent the New
West Education Commission in Utah
have manifested courage equal to any
recorded in the annals of woman's
| heroism.
Miss Lillian Blanche Fearing, the
only lady in this years graduating
class at the Union College of Law,
Chicago, is entirely blind. During
the course her mother was her con-
slant companion, and read from the
books to her Miss Fearing was one of
| four students whose records were SO
nearly equal that the committee ap-
pointed to award the scholarship prize
of fifty dollars decided to divide it
equally among the four. The blind
student has already been admitted to
the Illinois bar by the Supreme Court
at Springfield, and gives promise of
| making brilliant~mark in her pro-

Elihu Yale nor John Harvard gave
enough money to the founding Of col

than the $500 or the portion of half the
e1, 500 which AR. Yale and Mr Harysrd
respectively devised to the institutions
which bear their names. But, as Lord
COleFidge said when he was on visit
to this eouatry and was told that Wash.
ington once threw silver dollar across
the Potomac: Men could make dollar
go farther in those days than now. -
