GRADUATES IN THEOLOGY.

The number of graduates in theology
IN the universities of the United
States is set forth in an interesting
statistical article by Prof Edwin G..
reports published b.. the United States
commissioner of education during the
years 1876 to 1899 he has compiled a
most instructive table, which shows
that the number and percentage of
graduates in theology in the various
institutions of this country have not
made the marked decline which it IS
generally supposed have been the case
This trouble shows that during tie
past 25 years the annual crop of semi
nary educated ministers has more than
doubled. To be exact the increase is
ia per cent. This increase is in grea
greater proportion relatively than the
increase in population in the United
States for the same period which
was 81 per cent The percentage of
students of theology shows that this
class of students is about holding it
own. The last table-that of the
percentage of college graduates who
became graduates in theology-is sig
nificant, the increase since 1894 being
especially marked. Prof. Dexter states
that this fact is the more significant
because conditions are quite different
for the other professions, that of law
showing decrease from IA to l6 per
cent. in the same period.

called 1t Bad Names. 1t was so Rich
that Everybody in Town had Money to

Them. After all the Stock in this Con-

Then 1t was that the Papers said, as
had been said many times Before, that
our Fair City was in the Midst of a
Wave of Crime, that Thieves and Thugs
had us in their Grip, and so great was
the Fear of the Newspaper Men that they
too would be Robbed of their Riches. that
they Hollered to the Police for Help.
Then Everybody, except the Robbers got
excited Our Law Abiding Citizen was
Stirred as he had Never been Stirred
Before. He Waxed Wroth, and Swore If
the Law could not Protect Him he would
