dred. and Bible study classes
with an enrolment of two hun

The college authorizes a revi-
val meeting each winter, which
reaps great harvest of souls.
In January during an eight days
revival, there were two hundred
and eighteen souls which pro-
fessed salvation. 1t should be
inferred from these statements
that the college is distinctly
Christian, but it is undenomina-
tional.
All students attend brief reli-
gious services in chapel Monday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day mornings, and on Sunday
evening.
On Sunday the students meet
in the largest college Sunday
School in the State. There are
about seven hundred of the stu
dents enrolled in the Sunday
School.
The catalogue shows that last
year there were students here
from twenty-seven of our United
States, and five foreign coun-
tries.

greatly concerned in it.

in old Adair, and love to retrace
the steps that have brought me
thus far, and think of the many
incidents that go to make up my
boyhood days.
AS | read the News, l see the
names of people who appear to
be at the head of affairs in diff
ferent form, that l never knew
of, and many of the names that
used to meet my eyes, have now
passed from sight. But this on
ly reminds me of the fact each
day is one act in the drama of
life, and that each act introduces
new actors.
1t is a source of pleasure to me
to read of the constant improve
ment of the town of Columbia.
When l meet a stranger or friend
who has been to Columbia, and
have occasion to tell him that
that is my home town, l most al
ways receive the reply that it is a
beautiful and prosperous inland
town.

friends, relatives, or even
strangers who would care to
write to me, | shall be glad to
hear from them.

AS l sit in my room this after
noon and hear the ringing of the
Church bell | am reminded of
the few weeks in which attend
ed the L. w. T. S., in the winter
of 1906, and became familiar
with the pealing of that clock
which is a monument to the
memory of our dear fathers. and
into whose face all Columbia nev-

The writer is a native of Cray
craft, Adair county, but in the
course of his destiny he has
lodged in Berea College, taking
an Academic course as a begin
ming in preparation for aelife of
the ministery of the gospel of
Christ.
Some of you are perhaps famil-
5ar with the institution Of Berea
College, which was founded in
the year 1853, for the benefit of
the people of Kentucky who be-
iieve that free speech should be
maintained for both whites and
blacks.
Soon after there were two
young negro soldiers applied for
instruction to the school. They
were admitted just as a North
ern or European school would
admit them, and of Otheir race,
those who so desired, remained
IN school at Berea, until six or
seven years ago, when such ed
ucation was prohibited by law.
Then Berea transferred the ne
groes to Lincoln Institute.
The college is located in Mad
sson county, the same county in
which the Boone party built
their forts. 1t is on the dividing
line between the mountains and
the famous blue Grass" re-
gion Two miles east is the pin
nicie from which Daniel Boone
irst viewed the fertile plains of
Kentucky. The scenery is re-
markedly attractive, the eleva-
ton being 1,O7O fe et.. The
grounds embrace about seventy
acres not counting some five or
six thousands of acres lying out
side of the IT, WIN of Berea. Liv-
ing fountains of water are sup
piled from reservoirs five miles
back in the foothills of the noun

five public buildings in the insti-

suits Of Opening Bout in
Committee.

Washington.-The house commit
lee on judiciary has decided that
1t had no power to do anything
but report the evidence to the house
concerning the general charges made
by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska
against Attorney General Wicker
sham.
In a hearing enlivened with fire.
quent and bitter clashes between the
two Wickershams. it developed that
the delegate from Alaska had offered
bis legal services in 1908 to the Gug-
genheim interests In the Northwest
ern Commercial company, for a salary
of $4,000 a year and the maintenance
of Office headquarters in Seattle.
A proposition was made to him by
Stephen Burch. a representative OF
the Northwestern Commercial com
pany.
IF they had paid me what | asked
would have been their attorney"
said Mr. Wickersham. and think /
would have saved them a lot of
trouble"
The question of the insufficiency Of
what the delegate declared was proof
that the attorney general purpose
ly shielded and defended Alaska syn
dictate criminals against punishment"
arose.
Representative Sterling suggested
that Delegate Wickersham's charges
indicated only failure of the depart
ment of justice to prosecute.
"Oh. he has gone way beyond that"
interrupted Attorney General Wick
ersham.
Yes" said Delegate WicKersham.
Il insist there was a deliberate at
tempt to protect"
The delegate declared that United
States Marshal H. X. Love. who fig
ured in the Cunningham coal land
cases. had discharged deputy named
Bowers. who was also jailer at Kodiak,
because he wouldn't give up the
graft"
He wouldn't pay Love 800 a lnonth
out Of what he received for the board
of prisoners" the delegate explained.
Delegate Wickersham. a ReDub-
lican, reviewed his attempts to have
the department of justice move against
d. H. Jarvis of the Alaska syndicate
and ]. H. Bullock of the John j.
Sesnor company for alleged conspir-
acy on government coal contracts,
whereby he alleges the government
lost $4,000.
The delegate charged that federal
officials in Alaska had been bribed.
Representative Rowland of Ohio de-
manded that he prove that statement
