CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.
Lecture OF Professor Lee. OF the Albany
College.

The pulpit OF the First Presbyterian
church was occupied Sunday morning by
President Wallace II. Lee. OF Albany Col
leRe. who spoke on the subject OF Chris
tian Higher Education. Throughout his
entire discourse. he emphasized the word
Christian" Time was when there was
no other The church founded colleges
from the beginning OF our history as a
country But materiallsm and infdelity
have compelled the church TO defend the
need OF education carried on under Chris
tlan auspices. The Christian college
is historical as the oldest institution OF
higher learning In this country. The
early fathers founded and fostered It..
our nation owes its vigor and integrity
today to the superb constitution given II
by our godly forefathers. The Fresby-
terrain church has taken a prominent
place In the educational movements OF
our country's history.
Education, not Christian, Is a misnomer.
An education that looks to the training
Of mind alone. is no true education. II
Is an awful and solemn truth that high
intellectual attachments and moral de-
pravity are not In conflict. The true ed
ucatlon seeks to train body. mind and
soul In their due relations.
But further. the church should foster
Christian education for the sake Of self
preservation. To support this point,
three prominent authorities were quoted,
who all argued in the general thought
that the church which educates the
young people Of the new West will con-
troll the future of that region.
The most urgent reason for believing
In Christian education is that the Scrip
lures support and teach II. The presi-
dent bore down strongly on this point.
after which he presented the tlaims OF
Albany College on the attention OF the
members, both for material and moral
support

UPRIGHT IN HER COFFIN.
Clara Heppenstall. Believed to Be Dead.
Gives Her Friends Shock


Freehold, N. j.. April 2O.-while the
friends of Clara Heppenstall were gather
ed at her home on Saturday night talking
Of her life. and of her death on the day
before, they were startled by shrek
coming from the room where the body
had been laid out.
Sveral men present rushed to the room,
but the sight that met their gaze terri
fed them. Sitting upright in her white
robe was the supposed corpse. with wide
open eyes, staring straight ahead On
the floor was Charles Burton, a neighhor,
in a dead faint. The lips of the sup
posed corpse began to move. and then
she fell back to her bier The fright
ened men plueked up courage enough to
go to the assistance Of Burton. and a
doctor was hastily summoned.
When the physician arrived Burton had
recovered his sentence, and the doctor
examined Miss Heppenstall He an
nounced that there was life. and that
the case was one of suspended anima-
ton. He applied remedies. and soon
the woman was resting quietly and
breathing naturally. She sleeps all the
time, but today her vitality was sinking
rapidly away Her physician does not
think her recovery probable, though 1t
is possible
Mr.. Burton stated that he went to the
room to saturate cloths that were over
the eyes of the supposed corpse to pre-
vent discoloratlon. He noticed nothing
peculiar about the body, and was going
out OF the room. when he cast another
glance at the sheet over the box He
saw Miss Heppenstall sitting Up. with
her eyes wide open and staring at him
He did not remember anything further
until found by those who came In re-
sponse to his shrek.

meeting, and, altogether. IS manufac-
turers and general managers took part
In the conference. The members are
extremely reticent. but they claim that

tion and duh market. While the con-
ference was practically unit on the
question OF closing down indefinitely,
there was much dissension over propo-
sition to advance prices, and this Ques-
tion is the main one to be considered

the most Of the opportunity. but those
whose warehouses are overstocked are
anxious to unload. The close-down will
fall heavily on the gas belt OF Indiana,

that the plate glass plants would continue
full handed as long as the season per-
mitted. as all of them were behind In

Altogether there are 46 window glass
plants in the Western Association, and
