MISS GOULD AND WINoNA.
She Has No Official Interest in Bible School
Transfer.

The presence of Miss Helen Miller Gould at
winona Lake Ind. at the time when the Board
of Directors of the Winona Assembly and Sum
mer School was holding its annual meeting, ap-
pears to be responsible for report that she is
taking a leading part in the proposed amalga-
nation Of the New-York Bible Teachers
Training School with the assembly.
Miss Goulds being at WinOna Lake at this
time was a mere chance" said the Rev. DR.. ".
W. White, president of the Bible Teachers
Training School yesterday. she had been in
Detroit attending a meeting Of the railroad
branch of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tiOn and the directors of the Winona Assembly
invited her to visit them before going East
again. They gave a reception for her on Tues
day evening, but there was no reason for her
meeting them officially.
Miss Gould is a large contributor to our
work, and her interest in it is so well known
that it is natural that her name should be con-
nected with anything that concerns US, but she
is not director, and has taken no part in these
negotiations
The announcement that arrangements had
been completed for the utilization of our school
with Winona was q little premature. It is prob
able that such an analgamation will be effected
but II has not been done yet. If it is DONE it
VIII not mean the absorption of the school by
the Winona Assembly. 1t win retain its identity
and remain a New York institution, but it will
gain valuable Western connections and Win0na
VIII gain a New-York outlet. The proposal
grew out Of the Bible school which conducted
at Wlnona Lake this summer"

ON AN ISLAND IN THE BALTIC

ON AN ISLAND IN THE BALTIC.
One Of the most pleasant and interesting sum
r71er vacations remember was spent on q little
mountainous island called Bornholn, which lies
isolated IN the Baltic Sea- soma half way be-
tween Sweden and Prussia.
On fine evening in July my mother, sister,
two Of my brothers and went aboard the small
steamboat which plies between Copenhagen and
Bornholrn. and which was 10 take u to our
destination. The sun was just setting when we
steamed out Of the beautiful harbor of Copen-
hagen. and it's golden rays made the windows Of
the buildings shine as II they were illuminated.
while the great white cupola OF Marnor Kirken
Cthe Marble church, was bathed in purple light.
The Baltic Sea is often called the angry one, 50
and not without reason. Our little nutshell Of a
steamer was tossed up and down on the big,
white capped waves until on the forenoon Of the
following day II safely anchored in the harbor OF
Gudhteu. on the coast Of Bornholu.
The next day we began cur explorations OF
this beautiful rocky island, and for whole
month our DAYS were spent in taking walks or
drives 10 all the different points Of interest or
beauty The highest point OF the island is
called Rytterknaegten (the Riding knight and

glittering in the sunshine. On our way back
