tuition educates one preacher. the de- nominational college trains twenty. And who can picture with equanimity . community without trained preach CTS? Again. the number of working Christian laymen going forth from the denominatienal college is far larger than that educated in the State school; and no tongue can tell the value of the educated Christian in q community. The business man, not Christian, 1l-
 ways gives preference to the young
 man who believes in and practices Christianity. He knows that his stanh-
 ard is higher, his life purer, his work
 better. He can trust him.
 Where, then, can the Christian put
 his money where It's influence will be
 felt more and longer? What he gives
 will live in some character formed for
 truth, formed for service. formed tor

 rich in mind, rich in soul, who. in turn,
 will make hundreds rich in faith and n
 works. Thus will the giver, dead and
 gone, live in the life which he has help

 III. The circumstances of a large
 majority of the students in a denomi-
 national college and the conditions
 surrounding them in the college of He-
 cessity cause them to practice rigid
 economy. to save money, to plan in
 spending every dollar Thus are in-
 culcated lessons of economy, of the wise
 use of money, of spending according 70
 need. not according to whim, fancy and caprice. The aim of the denoini-
 national Acollege is to reach risht thinking, not only in regard to saving and spending, but also .n regard 10 every act in life, right thinking as to the use of time, as tp the value or study, as to conduct, as to relations between men, as to duty to man, to the

 while not sombre, not gloomy not mel ancholy, Is essentially more serious
 than the life in the secular college. There is less money to spend; there

 wholesome games and manly exercises,
 which develop the body and clear the brain. which are Indeed essential to
 health. But views and thoughts, feelings and acts are serious and for

 Lives That Bless.
 Study the roster of men so educated and find those who have lived livss that have blessed their fellows that
 have adorned society, the State, and the church, lives, some humble. yet mo- bIy useful, others laurel-crownsd and brilliant, which have added lustre fn the State, glory to the country. So the sterner lessons Of economy and saefl- fee bear the fruitage of pure, high character, and enrich the life and an | nals of our land.
 W. The product of the denominat- +ional college is the well-rounded Christian citizen. Almost without ex- ception, a man there trained begins life aright in service to his community, to his country. to his church Educated l in lessons of patriotism he fulfils the mart of a wise. clean citizen; taught fine duty of brotherhood, he loves hls | eiRhbor and realizes in conception and 1 in act the full significance of the
