KNOWLEDGE OF BIBLE,
Answers to- Nine Simple Questions
Addressed to College Students.


Addressed to College Students.
From the aHrtford Courant
Not long ago an instructor of youth tried
an experiment. He wanted to find out how
much Tor how little) the average American
college student of these days knows about
the Bible. To ninety-six such students he
gave nine simple questions, to be answered
offhand and in writing. He explained to
them his object, and promised not to show
their answers to anybody. This was the
question paper:
l. What Is the Pentateuch?
e.. What is the higher criticism of the
Scriptures?
8. Does the book of Judge belong to the
New Testament or to the Old?
a; Name one of the patriarchs of the
%. Name one Of the judges of the Old
Testament
s. Name three of the kings of Israel.
Z. Name three prophets.
8. Give one of the beatitudes.
Romans. " INV
In letter to the Christian Advocate he
reports the result of the experiment Eight
OF the ninety-six students answered all the
questions correctly, thirteen answered eight
OF them, eleven answered seven, five
answered six, nine answered three thirteen
answered two, eleven answered one and three
"funked" completely. Most Of these Der
sons. have no doubt, were brought up in
Christian homes remarks the experimenter,
land had enjoyed such instruction as the
average Sunday school and pulpit OF our day
afford"

Ingenious Means b. which Prisoners

Opium Is the principal contraband ar
ticle, and whisky and cigarettes also
seek to enter under harmless guises

receive. The jailer's latest confscation
was coffee pot with false bottom

false bottom is an ancient idea, but

Testing for false bottoms is made by
sounding the bottoms, also by measur-
ing the depth with little spears. The
latter method often discloses TASKS OF
whisky submerged in pals Of soup.
