the University Of Wisconsin, in adj
dressing the Wisconsin Presbyterian
synod, in session in this city, express,
ed his hearty approval of the plan OF
having each denomination appoint
special pastors 10 look after the spir
itual welfare OF the students, He also
showed the ACCESSIBILITY of giving these
ministers suitable buildings which. as
the meeting places OF students of each
denomination, will be centers of their
religious activities, The next step, he
pointed out, should be the establish,
ment OF theological Seminaries at
Madison so that students preparing
for the ministry may have the ad,
vantage of university instruction and
libraries. and at the same time pursue
their theological studies.

"This matter of superstitions is a

new one, which was firmly believed
in by several farmers, and that was
that thunder storm never passed
over a copper mine or copper vein.
The old fellow who told me about 1t

though black clouds might roll up and
lightning flash. the storm always went
around certain spot in his farm.
Such actions on the part of thun-

said with bitterness in his voice:
