Clark has been teaching "a Hope col
.lege now for five years. His depart
mentsOf political economy and history
has attracted dents from other
states. He has, to the best OF my
knowledge pc been tea hing In his de-
partment the very truths that young
men and women ina Christian college
ought to know. OF late he has begun
a series Of lectures on the moral as
pect Of economic questi ions. He has
begun to apply the principles Of the
sermon on the mount and the golden
rnie TO business tl eas !! methods, and he has
cited certain specific kinds OF business
