tho examination papers get by the various
colleges should be uniform in essential
matters
In executive session tho conference
adopted the following report, with the
understanding that 1t should be presented
for ratification TO each OF the bodies repre-
scented in the conference;
The conference recommends That the
books set for reading and practice for the
years 1901 and 1902 be the following;
sbakespeare's "The Merchant Of Venice"
Popo's Glad Books ], vi, XXI and
XIV: the Sir Roger De Coverly Papers
in "The Spectator" Goldsmith Inc
Vicar OF Wakefield" Coleridge's The
Ancient Mariner" Scott's 'Ivanhoe;"
Cooper's THE Last Of the Mohicans;'
Tennvson's "The Princess;" Lowelrs "rhe
Vision of Sir Launfal;" George Eliot
"Silas Mariner"
That the books set for study and prac-
tlce for the years 1901 and 1902 be the fol-
lowing: shakespeare's Macbeth" Mil
toms "Lycidas," "Comus," 'LAllegro''
and III Penseroso; Burke's Speech on
Cancellation with America" Macaulay's
"Esseys" on Milton and Addison.
Professor Henneman says that the aim
Of the movement is to have uniform ma
tional requirements in English, so that
pupils preparing for college everywhere
from Maine to California, may be work
ing on the same lines, and, so far as
English is concerned. in their use Of the
mother tongue and their knowledge OF
representative masterpieces in literature
be enabled TO pass the entrance examina-
ton Of any institution in the country
whether Harvard, Yale Princeton, Vas
sar. Cornell. Michigan, Wisconsin. etc.
or one nearer home, as Vanderbilt Sc
vance. University Of Tennessee, etc.
It needs no argument to convince those
who read the daily print that there Is
need of more thorough training in the
English branches, and we trust that this
organizod effort on the part OF the col
Ieges may bring the desired result.

The opinion was general that the courses
OF English study should be virtually
Identical for those students who do not

THE NEW LOGIA.

Some years ago when Matthew Arnold

methods of criticism Of the Bible. His
method was not that Of the scientist who
compares the Biblical account Of the
creation with the present theories or

man of letters, a scholar, who tries 10

was the real man described. lie sought
TO test the authenticity of the gospels by
comparing their narrative part with the
character and teachings of Christ as set
forth in his sayings or logia. Mr.. Arnold
points out that Of all reported sayings
some must Individually have come from
Christ, while others are not so certain. as
for example those reported in the apoctry-
phal gospels. His discussions caused
great bitterness at that time, but they
called the attention OF the great mass OF
those who have never studied theology 10
this distinct class Of accounts Of Christ,
his own sayings.
1t is. therefore. with great interest that
the Christian world turns to-day TO this
discovery Of new logia- There was a
time when even to venture the statement
that there might be any authentic saying
of Christ which was not in the Bible.

influence Of time and education has
changed the mind OF the world and to-
day VIC loom with interest where our
grandsires would have looked with fear
dreading lest an addition TO the Bible
canon should undermine the whole fabric
Of Christianity.
For us, Christs life and teachings are
not dogmas. They are living facts which
have grown TO be part Of the worlds

NAL which absolutely astounded the

every pauper relieved, every cup Of cold
water given, point 10 the results effected
by his life. His life and teachings have
grown from doctrines into a part OF the
forces which actuate the civilized world
to-day Though new sayings may throw
new lights on that wonderful character
as new facets cut on some precious stone.
Yet the influence Of that life and death
and the power Of the sayings Of Him, who
spoke as never man spoke, will remain
unchanged, interchangeable. to lead human
ity up to the very throne OF God.
