BIBLE STUDY IN COLLEGES.

The following excellent article from
the Inter Ocean sets forth the recent
movement In favor Of Bible study as
a requirement In the courses Of the
leading colleges and universities of
the land.
The decision that makes a knowl-
edge Of Bible literature and history
an entrance requirement at the Uni
yersity of Chicago Is a realization OF
the dream Of those who In the last
twenty years have labored Id season
ana out Of season 70 give the Bible
It's proper place In college education.
The decision also puts thousands of
Bible classes and hundreds Of schools
for training Bible teachers in the re-
lation nf preparatory schools for the.
university. and establishes a closer
bond Of sympathy between the church
Sunday schools and training schools
ana the colleges and universities.
Chancellor Maccracken Of the Col.
lege Of the City Of New York suggests
On next Tuesday a united effort on the
part Of colleges and universities 10
enforce II rule that q candidate for
naturalization must know as much Of
the Bible at least as the members
Of the ordinary sunday school Bible
class.

every candidate for entranme 10 that
Institution must show credit for d

From the Tacoma, WASH, Ledger:
MIR. D. Bunker of Austin, Mimi, is
stopping at the Tourist. He is some
thing of traveller, having visited all
the important cities on the Pacific
coast from Mexico to Canada, and
travelled in every state west of the Mis-
sissippi.
"There will be big emigration next
spring from the east, and Minnesota
and Dakota in particular, and Wash
ington will get the greatest part of it,"
says Mr.. Bunker. II believe that the
immigrants will all be from the older
states, people who have worked their
farms until they are worked out and
who want to get into new country.
They will usually have money enough
to buy farm and stock it, but not
much more. If they were rich, they
would not want to move, but many of
them are working, day after day on
their farms and getting nothing ahead
This discourages them and encourages
immigration to the coast"
