1900, His te&t was John 1875,
"Behold the man.. His sermon
was scholarly, profound, eloquent
and very instructive. 1t was a
mastery presentation Of the sub
iect, We may say il was the
ablest sermon preached in the
Sloan church for years.
Rev, Hughes got a call to go
elsewhere, which, at this time,
was very much unexpected; yet
it had been looked for. He felt
very reluctant to leave his charge
at present as this was going on
his third year of his pastorate
work of this place. He said he
enjoyed himself this year much
better than formerly and his
health is much improved to what
it was the previous two years.
But being willing to work for the
Master, obeyed the call of the
church, knowing the Lord would
bless the obedient servant.

 M olen Keller.

Helen Keller, the deaf mute, whose attainments rival those of Laura Bridgeman, in whom Charles Dick ems took so much interest, has re- gently passed with honors the en- trance examination of the Women's Annex of Harvard University, under conditions precisely the same as those governing other candidates. Her con quest of physical disabilities is little short of marvellous, as she taught her. self to speak in fashion understood by her friends. She is also skilled typist, and the questions in her exam nation were answered by her on 8 typewriter. Athletic, too, form large part of her daily life, as she is skilled eyelist-a tandem, of course-horse- woman, sculler and swimmer. Amongst the subjects of her studies are Latin, Greek, algebra and geometry. Alto- gether, her case is one of remarkable interest. as, even supposing her to be exceptionally gifted, it would seem possible to develop the faculties of deaf mutes to greater degree than has hitherto been supposed.
