 Assimilation

 ment. and it is in order to say that ire quent reference is made in the lectures to the news as it is received. The attendance is increasing here every day. Birmingham people, especially. are | numerous-a number. of gentlemen come
 out on evening trains and remain over night, returning on the early morning trains.
 Dr. Gaines and Dr. Carver lectured to large audiences as did also MT. Garland, Dr. Phillips. pr. Hall and Dr. Phillips. Professor Gaines Lectures In Dr. Gaines third lecture, which dealt with some facts of association of ideas, or mental assimilation, the speaker said that; Our having the power to link two or more facts together so that when one is recalled 1t will bring the other to consciousness, plays an important part in our mental life.
 One reason for this is that we wish to see truth in its setting Several fac tor are fused together to form an exper- fence and afterwards recalls the princi- pal fact and at least parts of the setting. It happens often that things are linked together which ar unrelated except in this accidental way.
 Religion in China Dr. Coner's lecture on religions had for its subject Wednesday Religion In China" He preferred the term religion rather than religions because the three religions of China are all professed or practiced by the great majority of the people It is probably true that the average man, unlearned and unskilled
 in nice distinctions, does not stop to inquire whether at the moment he is behaving or praying as Confucionist, a Taoist or a Buddhist He is only con cerned to do the prol thing or make the offering needed to adjust himself to the forces that determine his hap piness or his misery. that make pos sible his going forward in life The
 three systems are all ancient As a system Confueianism is both oldest and
 most honored.

HTD the mast few dava tha p-raat ru ropean cotton consuming countries have been plunged into a war, which, it Row appears. brings the grower and handler of cotton face to face with dis as'e }In two days the price of cot ton has begun to fall startlingly. Cot ton is about to move to the market {; the markets are about to be curtailed by millions of bales and closed. From the standpoint of the financial stabil- lity end integrity of the nation itself, of the producers of the banks and bank CTS, of the merchants and business men.

but it was low enough so that a man
standing could see from it the vast
sky and the sea-line six miles away,

hill that sloped down into wooded
country; beyond that the sand of the
