from Endowment Funds or an appeal to
Christian benevolence."
This extravagant system bears very
severely on hundreds of homes where
father and mother are making daily sac
rifices to maintain the young people in
college, II young men do not respond
to these demands upon their purse. they
are likely to be regarded as "small' or
"mean," and hence bills accumulate
which the parents have to pay. 1t seems
that President Schurman is opposed to
this kind Of thing and takes the position
that "the university is not to be placed
beyond the reach Of young people OF
moderate meane; that the esprit du
corps shall not rise to such pitch that
the sons of rich men, moved by desire
not to fall behind their fellows in the
matter of expenses. emulating each 9TH
or in luxurious living, shall be allowed
to give tone to the school, while the
young men of better parts, but of small
or purse, shall be relegated to the back
ground and made to feel their inferior
ity, il not their meanness." This has
always been the theory of college Presi-
dents, but it has not been carried out in
practice to any considerable degree. Ii
President Schurman can devise some
means Of counteracting the evil and les
sening the demands, at the same time
not exposing the young men to the op-
probium of their associates, he will have
performed an excellent service and pro-
NOTED very needful reform.
IT is quite signiti-
DIR. Briggs and can't fact that Prof
Higher Criticism. Charles A. Briggs, of
Union Seminary, New York, had only
about one hundred hearers at his recent
lecture in Detroit on Higher Criticism
and that only three clergymen of the
city put in an appearance to listen to
this famous exegete discuss the subject
for which he fought, bled and died.
in the Presbyterian assembly. We have
long known that the Higher Criticism
"won't preach" 1t is now demonstrated
in the case of Prof. Briggs, that it don't
lecture. We may here observe that the
Christian church has never been with
out its scholars and independent think
ers working patiently and quietly along
definite lines for the calculation OF
the text of the Scriptures and the
assignment of the proper data for the
various writings. This is the essence
of the so-called higher criticism" 1t
has become Objectionable to many on
account of it's Identification as fad"
of the present time and fads are al
ways dangerous to sane regulations.
This is Prof. Briggs's trouble de-
spite his scholarship. He will not get
over it until the term "higher criticism"
is deposed, and the true work of
the biblical student energies from
the doubt and suspicion engendered by
the Objectionable phraseology used to
describe it. Sound biblical scholarship
would be today at a higher premium
were it not associated with this presump-
tuous term so fatal to many Of its adher
ents, and Prof. Briggs -eminently.

affection.

BLooMINGToS, IND, Nov. &c.
Rev. SIR: Here am face to face with
another difficulty. Not Mohammedan
this time, but an insane American. He
may have accepted Christ" while still
accountable. Accept Christ" think
my mind penetrates as we'll as the aver
age, and l assure you solemnly that l
have never been able to attach any
meaning to that phrase. Can n human
soul pull itself together like house Of
Burgesses and pass resolutions of accept
ance? l can, of course, understand
what you mean by continuous submis-
sion. But l cannot believe that one man
differs from another in that respect ex-
cept in degree.
All men feel, and are, submissive at
times. No man is accepting" all the
time. Hence il you save some and damn
some. as an absolute and not as a rela-
tive matter, you must needs draw line
somewhere. Unless you think of accept
ance as an act, your line of necessity
must damn all who have not some re-
quired degree OF acceptance.
But it has been customary, land from
the above we see that it must be SOL to
speak of acceptance as an act. If so.
and if my guest of tonight had not.
before the brain received its lesion. "ac-
cepted Christ" then he is just going
about here awaiting hell! If sanity
should return before death he will have
another short probation. Sanity will. if
not before, of course return after death;

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago Change.


 Chicago. April 24.-The cash business was worked in the capacity of an invigorator in wheat today When the market was weak under selling by Ream, Partridge, Rosen- krans and others, Armour's man gave out that 2500O0 bushels had been sold at this place for export. Then again near the close additional sales were reported to help prices from the position into which they had fallen as the result of a rumor that the estate or Ex-Senator Fair of California had been QI- dered by the courts to dispose of the wheat it held. The market was quite firm at the opening the failure of Liverpool to re- spond to the break of yesterday in Amerl- can markets, but the heavy professionals were bent on retrieving their late losses, and began unanimously to sell. In a brief period of time @ decline to point below the close of yesterday took place after which values rose and fell several times. July wheat opened from 6lh to 6l1ec. de- clined to 6014c and closed at 61B461Ac, ADss higher than yesterday. Cash wheat NcaP. lots) sold average at about yesterdays s figures, the nominal close being about steady
 July oats closed 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash oats were unchanged.
 ProViSiOnS-Quiet reigned in, products, weakness being the prevailing tone, al- though at the close prices presented some steadness at the decline. The hog market was off 10 cents, and that fact constituted an important reason for the weakness in provisions. Packers were trading In both sides of the market but showed no aggres- siyeness on either. The close was 121ac low CT than yesterday for July pork, 5n7lsc low CT for July lard and 5c lower for July ribs.
 The cash quotations were as follows: Flour was in fair demand; the feeling was steady at the advance. Wheat-No. spring wheat, 635sQ645sc; No. 3 red, 599s16Ohc, Corn No. 2, 47@47Ac.
