1 BIBLICAL IMITATION.

An older generation MAS wont to quote iber
ally the odes OF Horace, to take its figures from
the Iiaid. to reyel in illustrations drawn from
the plays of Shakespeare or the Psalms Para
bles of the Bible The older generation Of
students either read more closely or remem
bered better. Perhaps they read not 30 extern
sively; they certainly read more deeply. And
what they read, they apparently took more TO
heart, made deeper application of, than is now
the rule, Even the present-day classical stu
dent remembers substantially, rather than in the
old manner Of in faesta',hs rert,s. He has
merely brushed the masters. rather tban alb.
sorbed them. When it comes to the Bible, the
average University student is APT TO be as igno.
rant OF its beauties he is stranger to cur.
rent literature and contemporary thought.
TO meet this lack in the modern spirit one
Professor T.. c. Baldwin OF the University of
Illinois has constructed for student use sort
OF an abbreviated Bible, in which the books arc
condensed and expurgated. much in the manner,
We suppose. OF some OF those mangled editions Of
Shakespeare by which IL is sought TO make the
youthful mind acGuant with the genius Of the
Bard, without permitting ii to come into CON
tact with anything Of the genius of his work.
Just as the classics In Greek and Latin are
conncd by the college student chiefly through the
medium of small and dog-eared Jack SO it
is hoped that the busy student may eventually
attain TO speaking acquaintance with the Book
through the medium Of the little volume which
might be called THE bible Made Easy.
Is it not the truth that what this in
vention aims to do is the cause, in what has al
ready been done along that line, OF a general
fault of superficial and unappreciatise knowl-
edge OF great literature The mines Of thought
yield their nuggets to personally conducted
expedition Many college student finds out
this truth in the after-lfe away from the insti-
tuition of learning and repairs In time wrested
from a busy life the ray3ges of neglect in day
when time was the only jewel which he did not
think to value and enjoy Certainly il would
