While we do not take stock in the
German talk that the Boer war will
cause the collapse of Great Britain's
military standing, W.. are not surprised
that even in Englani there is bold,
fee, strong opposition to h war.
The news of Sunday showed much &C
tivity on the part Of Briton and Boer,
aL.d while some advantage is reported
for the former there are also evidences
lof local victory here and there by the
latter. 1t is perhaps certain General
Roberts's plan did not result as hoped
for, although a fine stratgetical effort.
Possibly further news will show other

Men whom the lust of office does not
kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot

Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who love honor; men who will

Men who can stand before a dem

And brave his treacherous batteries,
without winking.

In public duty and private thinking"

be given also:
Wrong rules the land and waiting

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AT THE
UNIVERSITY.

The Messenger a few days ago direct
ed attention to the religious opportuni-
ties offered by the university of Vir-
ginia. The university of North Caro-
lima has long been awake to this great
interest. some months ago we told
how it was in the f~orties, with prayer
in the chapel morning and afternoon,
preaching ON Sunday by a minister of
one of three denominations of Chris
tians. Bible lesson every Sunday af-
t%ernoon, preaching in the village, etc.
Some ignorant people foolishly think
that there can be no true Christian
teaching and no genuine religious life
in the university of a state. There are
about a dozen religious denominations
represented in our university by its
more h 500 regular students. So it
is wise to exclude denominationalism,
sectarianism, and this is done. The last
issue of the University Record" says
at this point:
The religious life of such a number
Of students representing all sections of
our state is necessarily diverse. Bap-
fist, Methodist. Episcopal, Presbyteri-
an, Lutheran, Disciples, Christians,
Disciples of Christ, Moravian, Metho-
dist Protestant, Dutch Reformers and
Jew all have representatives. AS
North Carolina has no state religion
so her university has no university re-
ligion and hence whatever religious life
there is springs freely and voluntarily
from the interest in spiritual affairs
among the students, faculty and towns
people who work hand in hand in the
accomplishment of their purpose"
No broad man, no man of practical
would have it otherwise. FOL

ally Dol these all gather as a center,
and student and instructor work and
worship together. The Sunday and
week day services conducted in these
churches by resident pastors are open

sions in behalf of religious interests.
and work. Four ministers elsewhere,
are selected to spend each one week at
the university conducting daily services
in Gerard hall, two other public ser
vices and one service each week at the
Y. M. C. A. devotional meeting. This
is not all, and it is much, for we learn
farther that Gin addition to this infu-
ence there emanates from the faculty a
lively encouragement of religious af-
fairs. In the four churches of the viii
lage Bible classes are conducted by COL
lege professors, the Bible is used as a
text book in the university, and the
interest in the Sunday morning Bible
