Resolved, That it is the sense Of THU
Ladies Union Prayer Meeting:
]. That the strict observance OF tht
sabbath is fundamental In the main.
tenance of the Christian religion, the
purity and prosperity OF the church
and the security Of the PRINCIPLES nj
our American form OF government.
z. That among the most seducipQ
and far Reaching violations Of the
American Sabbath are the Athletic
games INDUCED 10 on this holy day by
Our young people.
3. That the base ball games played
oy our young men in Mexico from Sab.
bath to Sabbath are d~emoralizing in
their tendency, and ought to be dis.

4. We make our appeal directly to
the young men and ask them to con-
slider this passage Of Scripture. IRE
loice o, young mar in thy youth;
and let thy heart cheer thee in the
days of thy youth, and walk in the
ways of thine heart and in the sight
of thine eyes; but know thou that for
all these things God will bring thee
into Judgment. Therefore remove
sorrow from thy heart, and put away
evil from thy flesh"

ITS WORK RANKS HIGH.
Hardin College Graduates Given
Credit by University of Chicago.

The graduates Of the Hardin College
and Conservatory of Music at Mexico,
Mo-, will In the future be given full
credit for all past work and admitted
to the University, Of Chicago, on an
equal footing with the students who
have accomplished the same amount
Of work at the University proper. Or
In other words full credit is given
Hardin college graduates based upon
the courses taken by them and certi-
fed by the president to the extent Of
eighteen majors Of undergraduate
work.
This is a high tribute to the excel
lent work Of one OF Mlssouri's foremost
colleges for young women and means
that A. B. graduates of Hardin will be
glyentw = RS on the college work OF
the University OF Cl go. The uni
versity has thirtyJsix majors in It's foSr
college years, nine to the year or three
to the quarter, counting three quar-
tiers to the year, and thus the work at
Hardin is equivalent in the number Of
majors to the junior college work Of
the University of Chicago.
Hardin college has for a number Of
years ranked as q of the leading col
leges for women In the West. The
University of Missouri recognizes its
work and allows tifty-four hours credit
on the A. B. course of the University.
The recent recognition by the Chi
cago University places Hardin in an
enviable position among the colleges
for women, not alone in the West but
throughout the United States.-Kan
