Oberlin was the first cc-education- al college in this county. In the early days they had rule that in case there were but one man and one woman in room, at least one chair should be between them. One even- ing an instructor, pas3ing one of the small sitting rooms, was mortified at beholding a young man and a young woman occupying the same chair.
 Sir" he demanded of the man student, what is the meaning of this outrageous behavior? Do you not know the rules of the college?"
 "Why-er-don't they say that if man and a girl sit alone in a room they shall have one chair be- tween them?"

concensus of Opinion Is That Pub IIcIty Is Beneficial to Churches
 Would Bring Converts.

Newspaper advertising was discuss ed by the National Ministerial associa. tion of Syracuse, N r., at meeting the other day. after papers on the sub ject had been read by the Rev Al bert c. Fulton, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and Jerome D. Barnum. In the discussion which fol- lowed there was wide range of opin- ion on the subject
 Rev. Dr. Frederick w Betts, pastor of the First Universalist church, main- tained that the newspapers are ex- ceedingly kind to the churches in printing news of importance, and that he did not favor promiscuous scheme of advertising.
 Rev. Dr. William J. Howard, visit or from Washington. D. C., said that he regarded newspaper advertising as helpful to the church, and Rev. J. B. knappenberger, pastor of the Wesley an Methodist church, approved 1t
 MT. Knappenberger said he was will ing to leave the whole subject to ad- verusing to the individual ministers, providing they can muster funds to pay for it. He said that he did not re. gard advertising as sensational. be- cause to him there is nothing more startling and marvellous in all the world than the themes upon which the ministers preach every Surdsy.
 MT. Fulton in his paper advocated the making of goods as good as the advertisement He said that iSis time to emphasize every good point that can be made in connection with the church. He said that he was willing to try paid advertising in the news. papers If 1t will fill the churches.
 MT. Fulton advocated a press agent TOT the church. He believed a body Ike the Presbyterian church should nave a representative to furnish news matter He believes that more pub hclty will help to break down the preJudiees and keep the good work of tne church before the public.
