RETREAT FOR PRAYER.
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
Adopts Roman Catholic Plan.
ChicagO los


The faculty and students of the Chicago
Theological Seminary this afternoon en-
tered into d session of spiritual retreat
which will continue until Sunday evening"
This form of devotional exercises is a new
departure in educational institutions. 1t is
an elaboration of the custom of devoting
the last Thursday of January each year to
prayer for colleges and institutions of
learning a practice that has obtained gen.
orally with the evangelical denominations
for some years.
DR.. Franklin w. Ffske, president of the
seminary, explains that the retreat, or re-
tirement from ordinary vocation, for con-
ference and prayer, is suggested and COM
mended by both the precepts and examples
Of Christ, who often, as Scripture tells,
Withdrew with a few disciples from the
multitudes for prayer and meditation un-
disturbed.
Rev. f. B. Meyer pastor of Christ Church,
London. will take a prominent part in the
after to-day. DR.. Meyer will arrive in Chi
cago tomorrow morning and the four sue
ceeding evenings he will preach In Union
Park Congregational Church. DR.. Meyer
is an eloquent evangelist and warm friend
of Mr.. Moody, at whose request he made
his first visit to the United States year
ago. AT that time he conducted meetings in
New York. Philadelphia Boston and Balti-
more There are ten cities in his itinerary
this year. He arrived from England last
week and has already filled engagements
in Albany and Detroit.
In addition to his evening sermons in
Union Park Church this week and Sunday
he will conduct afternoon meetings in the
Chica go-avenue Church. 1t is hoped he
will also take a leading part in the exer-
cises of the retreat tomorrow and Friday
mornings.
In the seminary, recitations and lectures
were discontinued for the week at noon to-
day. Tomorrow afternoon there will be
public meeting in Carpenter Chapel. which
will be led by Professor w. Douglas Nc
Kenzie, the subject being Prayer for Col
leges" All the other daylight meetings of
the retreat will be for professors. students
and alumni exclusively Dr. A. r. THAN,
editor Of the Advocate, directs the pro-
gramme.
This afternoon Rev. w A. Waterman dis
coursed on THE Divine Effiuence." DR.
Charles j. Little, president of Garrett Bbli-
cal Institute. also made an address.
Tomorrow morning Professor Graham
TAYLOR will lead an offering OF thoughts on
the subject THE Spirit and the Workers"
Friday morning there will be discourses by
Supt j. c. Armstrong. of the City Mis-
sionary Society and Rev. r. A. Torrey, of
the Bible Institute. friday afternoon DR.
Johnston Movers, Of Emmanuel Baptist
Church. will treat the subject, Receiving
the Spirit.
Much interest in the programme outlined
for the week is shown by students and
friends of the seminary, and the retreat viii
probably become a custom receiving
nual observance.

has given the little spot q place on the map
of the world.
FAMOUS LANDMARKS.
In the National Cemetery near Sharps-
burg village 4,671 soldiers, according to the
old guidebook, are buried. There is a stone
lodgehouse for the Keeper" and beauti-
fui emblematieal monument, surrounded by
a heroic ngure of the Union soldier, faces
the entrance. The views on all sides from
the cemetery are of surprising beauty.
Within its Enclosure is a small mass of lime
stone, upon which it is said Lee stood to di-
rect the battle. To the east, at a distance Of
about two miles, large brick building may
be seen. This is known as Frys house.
around which the tents of McClellan's head
quarters were pitched before and during the
battle. This cemetery is in the concave of
the Confederate battle line when the fight
ing began. In the distance may be seen
the spurs of Maryland Heights and the
stately South mountain range. Practically
the whole battlefield is visible from TINS
point; and with Palfreys 'Antletam or the
Campaigns of the Civil War series in
hand, the whole contest is as readily under
stood as football game.
The story of the battle is familiar. 1t was
Lees first invasion of the North. His
cond was stopped at Gettysburg, ana, like
1t, Antletam was substantially drawn

doubtless slightly outnumbered its opponent,
put TINS advantage Mcclellan lost through
his disposition to await a condition of ideal
completeness in the way of preparation be-
fore doing anything. The Union attack was
successive not massed, and many regiments
available We're not brought into actual bat
tie. Then the military critics say it was
fought one day or perhaps TWO days too
late, and it was one of the bloodiest battles
OF all the war. 1t will be recalled that
Lincoln. obedience a DreQe-
termination, when he heard that the rebel
march had been checked at Antietam, re-
solved TO issue his emancipation proclama-
ton. Thus Antietam holds d unique place
among the battles of the rebellion. 1t was
fought among people essentially Unionist in
their sympathies "Mountaineers are always
freemen.' and the western Marylander had
had no use for slavery. The institution, al
though legal, was practically nOneXistant in
this region when the war broke out. That
is why Lees invasions of western Maryland
failed to stampede the people of the State TO
his support, as he had hoped and apparently
expected.

fought, and Tam Carlyle had given him
sound thrashing.
