in every place as if you meant to
spend your life there, never emitting
an opportunity of doing a kindness, OF
speaking a crue word, or making a
friend.-Ruskin.

A Northern exchange speaks of the
state of Illinois as being in the South;
we would respectfully suggest that a
cursory investigation of any current
geography or history would rectify the
error in which said exchange is OBJ
viously discovered.

The strife engendered between DR. P.
F. Bahnsen and DR.. A. NJ. Soule is
undoubtedly leading to situation
which cannot but result in material in
jury to the Institutions and organiza-

The case offers just another instance
Of lack of harmony bringing about
eventual disruption of we'll conceiv.
ed and extremely important program
Of operation for the benefit of the gen
eral public.
