 This Bible was a translation into the tongue of the Massachusetts In- f1ians. For years John Eliot, a Puri- tan fleeing from persecution who landed eleven years after the May England reports about missionary success among the Indians.
 When the Puritans came into power he found a friendly govern ment, and in 1649, within six months after Charles I was executed, when Cromwell was supreme. Parliament passed "An act for promoting and propagating the Gospel in New Eng thereafter carried on this work.

 He points out what the ultimate effect of these British monopolies will be on Americai public opinion and on the payment of the French debts.
 America" he says, "has lent us more than thirty million gold francs at the present rate of exchange.

For three seasons Captain R. F. NIL
Ter, husky back guard of the Purdue
basketball quintet, has been a tower
of strength in the Boilermakers' de-
fensive play. Miller is scheduled 20
play his last conference game in a
Purdue uniform Tuesday night when
Coach Lambert's cohorts battle the
Illinois five at Lafayette. He will TO
doubt be a hard man to replace in
the Purdue lineup next season.
Miller's performances have won him
a place on every all conference five
picked by the leading sport writer's
and coaches of the middle west. He
no doubt will win a place again this
year for the position of back guard,
for his playing and generalship has
been better than ever.
He is also three letter man, has-
ing won letters in both football, bas-
ketball and one in track. He is going
out for baseball this year and will try
to make his fourth letter.
