A HAIR-RAISER.
A Very Exciting Experience on Board the
Steamer Umbria.


New YORK, October 2O.-The Cum
arder Umbria is in port, having eX-
perienced one day on the trip that was
a hair-raiSer. The sea was so rough
Thursday night that the passengers got
but little sleep. Toward morning, be-
fore daylight, the ship gave mighty
plunge, and then mounted the crest of a
wave and shook violently as success
sion of crOSS-SeaS struck her. Almost
Immediately a tremendous wave lowered
up. and a moment later it broke, delug-
ing the vessel with hundreds OF tons OF
water, sweeping the decks, six feet
deep. the whole length Of the ship. The
wave was accompanied by a whirlwind,
which, the passengers say, fairly spun
the great steamer around in an extern
porized whirlpool.
The unusual cOmmotion caused many
of the passengers to rush toward deck,
and at the same time orders were given
10 all to prepare to leave the ship. For
"A few minutes panic prevailed, ana
many passengers offered up prayer
The officers coolly directed the manage
ment of the vessel while preparing for
the worst if unable to regain control OF
the steering apparatus. But the eX-
citement was short lived. The whirl-
wind passed as quickly as it came, and
i'm few minutes the vessel was under
control, pOwing her way none the
worse for her shaking up.

BIBLE UNREAD.
DR.. W. h. GILL CREATES SOMETHING OF 4
SENSATION AT THE SYNOD.
Says the Students at the Allegheny Theological
Seminary 5ra Unfamiliar With the
Scriptures-Neglsct Of
the Book.

Among other reports presented at the
Presbyterian Synod yesterday was one
by Dr. w. II. Gill, of Philadelphia, as
chairman Of the committee who visited
the Theological Seminary at Alleghe-
ny. The report was very protracted
one, and contained many things that
temporarily startled the Synod. 1t
created good deal of warm discussion,
which lasted for some time. After stat
ing the finances and the condition in
which the seminary was found. the re-
port went on to say
Spiritually the temperature OF the
seminary is just about on a level with
that which registers the warmth or cold
ness Of the church life Of our time. 1t
is neither as good as it ought to be, nor
as low as it might be. There, as else
where, there is great need for baptism
of the Holy Spirit. In the course Of
A RIGID EXAMINATION
at the Allegheny Theological School
there was made painfully evident the
lamentable lack Of familiarity with the
Bible, and the Shorter Catechism, not
to say the Longer CatechiSm and Con-
fession Of Faith, on the part Of the
students generally. The cases were
rare in which the student could assign
with promptnesS and certainty, a text
I'm proof Of a given doctrine: or, when
having cited the passage, could quote il
correctly. With the views of such men
as Lebrintz and LimbOrch and SpinOsa,
the students displayed a tolerable
acquaintance, but the knowledge OF
Moses and Isaiah and Paul and Jesus
Christ, was painfully vague and limited
In the extreme.
Now as the Bible is the preachers
book, it is evident that any theological
course which fails to make the student
acquainted with its contents Is radically
defective. The man who does not know
the Bible, whatever other knowledge
and attainments he may possess, IS
poorly equipped to go forth as an am
bassador or prophet of the Most High
God, whose word it Is, preacher Of
the everlasting Gospel. II, therefore
the Bible and the various other text
books cannot be mastered, 1t Is
clearly evident that the Bible Is not
the book to be sighted. The lmpend-
ing case reminds one of the Cambridge
student, who, when examined upon
the inspiration of the Bible, and being
asked what connection he could remem-
Der between the Old and New TeSta-
ment, replied that only one came
to his recollection, and that was the
fact that Peter cut off the ear OF the
prophet, Malochi. They can be no

One of the most peculiar customs IS
found among the Congo negroes. When
man wishes wife he secures one and keeps
her on probation for year. II during

prove an incumbrance, he sends her back to

as an excellent arrangement.
Perhaps it is only in the United States

style of the French, uniting the athletic
Amazon and the undulating sylph OF the
