IGNORANCE ABOUT THE BIBLE.

Significant Ignorance about the Bible"
is the subject of an article in the Cen
fury Magazine for May by DR.. Charles F.
Thwing, president of the Western Reserve
University, in which he relates his exper-
fence in ascertaining the knowledge of
young men and women in college regarding
the Bible. His experience leads him to
draw the conclusion that the Bible is not
read as it was years ago.
DR.. Thwing selected from the poems Of
Tennyson a number of passages containing
Bible illusions These illusions he SUBJ
mitted to the freshman class of thirty
five young men in his university to explain
in an examination. He subsequently SUBJ
mitted them to class OF fifty
one in woman's college in the
East The freshmen were from northern
Ohio, central New York and western Penn
sylvania, and the women largely from
New England Their fathers were pro-
fessional men, business men and farmers.
That is, for the most part they were men
of more than average information In re-
gard to books. DIR. Thwing says that with
one exception these young men and women
had ecclesiastical Affiliations of some sort.
The twenty-five passages of Tennyson
submitted to the classes referred to are as
follows:
