Still each denomination has its favorite
college. Theological students frequently
occupy an unpleasant position through
out their collegiate and seminary courses
The churches help them when they are
not able to help themselves, and they
too often have the feeling OF being IN

candidates for the ministry
after graduation from the theological
seminary the student receives a profess

he must then pass an examination before

Soul Communion Day.
The last of the II days set apart by
the Worlds fair management for ''the
parliament of religions" Is monthly
whole world soul communion day and
the sixth anniversary of its institution,
Sept. 81.
The first whole world observance was
on the 9th of September, 1885, when
there was silence in heaven for the
space of one-half hour" when greater
or less number of the worshipers of all
the great religious faiths of the world
united for 80 minutes (time at all points
corresponding with the half hour inter
vening at Salem, Or, between II mer1d
ian and 1890 past meridian) in invoking
universal peace and new and higher In
fiowings Of spiritual light.
OF course the Worlds fair manage
mant did not know in setting apart the
II DAYS between and including Monday
the 18th and Sept. 81 that the parlia-
ment Of RELIGIONS would terminate its
session ON the anniversary Of this the
most universal religious movement ever
instituted among men, but such IS the
fact. and being 50 it is eminently proper
that the brief universal prayer season OF
half an hour should on that day be ac-
corded to soul communicates and all
who viii unite with them in invoking
with unifc soul impulses peace on earth
and good will among men," Soul COM
| munionists will ask no more Of the fair
management, as they are silent workers.
The time of observance in Chicago will
be from 2:20 to $3.50 p. m, when there
and then will be gathered worshipers
from all the shrines of earth, and some
of all of whom will have been divinized
by continuous previous observances in
the most interior spirit of the movement,
This is 1.-The universal prayer gauge"
which distinguished English scientist
some years ago called for, and its proofs
of the efficacy of unity of thought and
aspiration for the common good have
been wonderful and will be more won
