GODDESS SCHOOLS.
Presbyterian Assembly Hears a
Caustic Attack.

Denver, May 24.-"Grace is not us
usually said over champagne and lob
ster la Newburg.
Family affairs are not raised over
Persian rugs.
Students for the ministry do not,
as rule, get their early training by
running steam yachts. -
These remarks by DR.. Joseph w.
Cochran, Secretary of the Presbyterian
Board of Education, caused great inter-
est in the Presbyterian General Assem-
bly, to-day.
Dir. Cochran, who is from Philadel-
phia, spoke in the afternoon on the
report of the Board of Education, which
deplored the lack of recruits for the
ministry The report was read by Dir.
Edgar P. Hill, of Chicago, who stirred
the Assembly by his description of the
ignorance among immigrants, due, he
Sdlu, W lIlt IdCJ IIttu no L IOUtSlttHb ut-
and surely not the Pres
byterian, had taken the trouble to stir
up a sufficient number of ministerial
recruits to work among the people.
Why can't we get young men to
preach?" asked Dir. Cochran. I'll
tell you. In the first place, there is
but little Christianity in the home. If
here is any it is gone by the time the
young man is ready for education.
Does he go for his education to a
Christian school, Presbyterian school?
No, he goes to a goddess State Univer-
,ity, and when he returns to his home
own he puts religion at a low ebb.
And if you ministers find your churches
1t low ebb know where to place the
blame.
The need in this Board of Education
5 not for more money, but for men.
Vow, we cannot Christianize these State
but we can put shepherd |
II charge, and in this way keep the |
Joys in the flock, although they are be-
ng educated at goddess schools, I"
Lack of funds was told by the Amer
can Tract Society and the Board of
freedmen in their annual reports.

She Relates story Of kidnapping
From Tennessee Home.

Cor.icana, leNas. Sept 5.-A

Central train Saturday nights tells
a story that is puzzlinC the police.
She says her home is near Pulaski.
Tenn. where her husband and fa-
ther live. She says she is p years
old and the mother of five children.
Three days ago, she says, she went
out to drive up the cows, when r
strange man came 70 her, presented
z pistol in her face and told her If
she made an outcry he would kill
her. He then tied a handkerchief
around her mouth and forced her to
follow him, taking her to a railroad
station, when they got aboard a
train. She says she can neither read
nor write, nor had she ever before
been on train. The man, she says,
did not mistreat her in any way
She says she does not know what
roads she travelled nor what towns
