Philadelphia Is 60 Offer ITS Growing
(JoIlora for ra.a penuIa

COUeGe for the People.
Plans are afoot for a great popular in
stitution of learning, to be called the
Peoples Baptist University" Some
years ago the small Grace Baptist
Church, located on a side street in Phila-
delphia, began to grow with amazing rap
idfty. Good people In the n~eighborhood
shook their heads. but the growth was
sound. The church sold its buildings and
erected a magnificent new one on a prom
inent site on a leading avenue. Next it
started a college. AT this college the
eminently useful p-redominated. and peo-
pie of all conditions and ages came to
learn.
So practical Is the teaching thai seven
thousand pupils are now enrolled, chiefly
those who have positions in fact or in
view, and van better to learn how to fill
them. The college has no endowment,
yet 1t more than supports itself. 1t is an
American product. In hat it disregards
traditions-and succeeds. Now it is offer
ed to a BAPTIST denomination to become a
great Baptist University for the common
people.
The belief is expressed that wealthy
Baptists will give 1t money to richly en-
dow it But more ambitious still is the
prediction, made by the man to whom
most of the past success of both Grace
Church and the college is due. that be-
fore the end of this century 10000 pupils
viii b. In attendance at 1t. The local
ing, a great opportunity, and a great
possibility and they lave just decided
to recommend the scheme to the Bap-
lists of the country.

the Churches.
NEW BAPTIST UNIVERSITY

mo Better tidfngs were ever given to
mortal man. writes Evangelist Dwight
L. Moody in the December Ladies' Home
Journal" than hat first Gospel message
delivered to the humble shepherds on the
Judean hills. There must have been a
special solemnity about that night. Above,
the heavens were resplendent with the
glory of God, and even the elements
seemed to appreciate the benediction Of
Peace and good will toward men, A holy
quiet rested on the scene. The noise and
tumult of the overcrowded streets in the.
distant city at last were stilled, and one
by one the lights below them disappeared.
In the realms of another world those
who had long looked for the promised re-
demption gaze down upon the scene. Pro-
phet and l~aw-giyer, king and leader of all
look toward the One who shall make the
atonement for their transgresssans. And
as the shepherds watched and waited for
the morn ! imagine that their thoughts
and conversation We're on heavenly things.
1t may have been that they were talking
over the strange rumors which they had
heard regarding the son that was born to
Iacharias, and how it had been prophesied
that he was to become the Prophet of the
Highest At least. their thought and con-
versatton that night must rave been on
things above, for God reveals His best
gifts to those whose minds are stayed on
Him The time is at hand I can inn
agine n saying, the Messiah will soon
be here to save US from our enemies.
Great Is the Holy One of Israel in the
midst OF thee exclaims another. And
thus as they rejoice among themselves
there suddenly bursts upon their sight the
glorious light of the other world; mid
night gloom is transformed into midday
brightness, and there appears before them
the Angel of the Lord. He proclaims the
deliverance for which this world had so
long yearred. With exultant shout the
choir of HEAVIER chants again the Gospel
message, that first and glorious carol
song. And as the full meaning Of the
vision was realized what thrill of love and
joy must have filed their souls. How
their hearts must nave burned within
them as they FASTENED to worship their
Saviour King in His lowiy abode at Beth
lehem.n

The classified failures for November
given today show gratifying reduction
important as showing that the peculiar
disturbance during the Presidential cam
paign, which swelled failures SS6, 900, 900 in
August and September, did not prevent
quick return to a monthly aggregate
scarcely greater than that of May. De-
faulted liabilities in eleven months have
been $l9S, 73S. 459 against S148,54. 202 last
year, the increase being only $l4, 600, 900
outside OF those w months, and this re-
naming increase of only 10 per cent. was
also in part due to the alarm during the
campaign. The decline of failures to

fidence so generally expressed.
Ground fer confidence is also found in
the abandonment of two of the largest
combinations by which the iron industry
has been retarded. and the possibility that
two others will be abandoned. Such a
state of things within a month after the
election suggests that these organizations.
formed when depressed business failed to
support all the works in existence, are
not expected to survive a general revival
and ample demand for products. The i'm
mediate effect of breaking prices is to
check large buying of iron and steel pro-
ducts, but 1T will soon be seen abou
where prices are to range.
The Treasury shows a deficit of IS, 050,004
for the month, and $50, 293, ITO for eleven
months, but has been much strengthened
by receipts of gold in exchange for legal
tenders, of which the actual circulation
a year ago the increase in all circulation
is $50, 200, 900. Foreign exchange is kept
strong by large operations which are viz
tually lending money to London and the
receipts of 50, 500.0 900 last week from the in
terror, with absorption of stocks and pay
ment of time loans on them, makes money
plenty and cheaper. OF good commercial
paper the supply is much below the de-
mand, though large amounts have been
taken including much Eastern mill paper.
Failures for the week have been 379 in the
United States against S24 last year and in
Canada So against 81 last year..

accident took place near Hancock Bridge
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Samuel Baker,
the wife of a prosperous farmer, of that
place, was accidentally shot and killed by
her sixteen year old son.
The boy was preparing for a cunning
trip and had opened his gun at the
breech. He inserted two cartridges n
snapped the breeeh together again. when
one of. the cartridges which ha. not been
pushed fully into the barrel. exploded.
Mrs. Baker was standing at the time
near her son.
The heavy charge of shot entered her
back on a line with the kidneys, and
with an exclamation OF pain she fell
PROSTATE upon the floor. Young Baker
was stunned for a moment by the aw-
full result of his earelessness. Then he
hastily summoned aid but despite an
efforts the unfortunate woman died within
half an hour.
Young Baker is almost crazed with
grief over the accident, although no
blame is attached to him.
