The Northern Presbyterian Assembly
Censure Colleges Permitting the
Students to Use Intoxicating
Liquors.
IN the Associated Press.l

Winona Lake, Ind, May 26,--Both
sessions of the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church today were
devoted to discussion of reports of the
committees on forms and services and
of the committee on temperance.
For three hours the report on forms
and service was debated by a hundred
speakers, chief among whom were
Or. Henry Van Dyke, chairman of the
committee and author of THE Book
of Prayers" and Justice Harlan, of
the United States Supreme Court. The
debate was about equally divided, with
the result that the report. together
with "The Book Of Prayers" which it
was suggested should be adopted by
the General Assembly as part of
the form of service, was recommended
to an enlarged committee, which will
report next year.
The assembly closed late in the af-
ternoon with a vigorous debate over
the resolutions offered by the tenn
perance committee. The debate was
precipitated by the Rev. Alord Kelley,
of Frazer, Penn, who declared that
there is one Presbyterian University,
which permits it's students to buy in
toxicating liquors from resort near
the campus.
The assembly passed a resolution
censuring the management OF any col
lege or university permitting the
students to drink intoxicating liquors.
The use of tobacco and manufacture
and sale of cigarettes was condemned.

The art exhibit was held IN the
seminary hall, which was beautifully

by the principal of the department,
Miss McMaster and the pupils of the

of the work i'm detail would almost
amount to a list of the pictures dis
played which were very fine and
showed a great advancement in this
work during the four years the de-
partment has been in the hands of the
present teacher.
The baccalaureate sermon by DR..
Pitt of Richmond, on Sunday morn
ing in the beautiful new Baptist
church was an occasion long to be re-
membered. No synopsis of the SER
mon could do it justice. The sermon,
the music, the occasion, all were soul
inspiring.
The junior entertainment on Monday
evening ELECTED highest expressions OF
praise. The "fete of the flowers was
the charm of the evening, the children
who took part seeming to catch fully
the enthusiasm of the teachers.
The concert Tuesday evening and
commencement day exercises on We'd

work has been done by the faculty oil

morrow will say:

impulse of advancing raw materials
Building operations make favorable
comparisons with recent years, and
there is little controversy regarding
wages or hours of labor. Railway
earnings thus far reported for May
exceed these of year ago by per
cent, and after falling to the lowest
point of the year prices of securities
recovered materially. Money is album

results OF an investigation Of the milk
supply of Southern cities are given
in a report issued by the Department
of Agriculture, which declares that
the two evils Of the industry in that
section are the keeping of cows in
small Enclosures inside the city limits
and the delivery of warm milk to the
consumers. The report says that
comparatively little milk is consumed
i'm most Southern cities. The amount
per capita being not quite one-half
pint in Richmond and the average
Southern city while at Pensacola the
average is as low as one-fifth of a
pint and i'm Mobile less than one
tenth of a pint. The reports on the
tuberculosis tests in a considerable
number of Southern cities show an
unusually low per centage of infested
