STUDENT CHURCH MEMBERS

| The older generation, those VINO
are paying the bills, many of them
lacking opportunity in their youth
for college or university education
have had occasion to experience some
alarm at the published tendencies Of
the young men and women students
in the institutions of higher learn.
ing.
With so much science being broad
casted denying the divinity of or the
virgin birth Of Jesus Christ, seeking
to explain In words of one syllable
the miracles of the Bible, some folks
have begun to wonder If most of the
foundation that they were taught to
believe society stands on, will
crumble.
The young folks, themselves, some
times lead to conclusions on the
part of their elders, that their time
Is not being used to the best advant-
age, and there has been wide de-
parting from the ways Of the youth
of the parents, so when assuring
word comes from the University OF
Idaho, that the young men and
women there, are in the large ma
jority, members of some church or
ganization and attend church services
very regularly, there is great deal
of comfort and satisfaction in the
knowledge that the future citizen
ship of Idaho being brought up and
taught in our state institution is in
good hands.
Three-fourths Of all the students
enrolled in the University of Idaho
belong to some church, or express a
preference for some church, and the
church attendance is very large on
the part Of the student body.
Special courses in Bible instruc-
ton, special classes in Sunday school
work are featrues noteworthy.
In addition to the church attend
ance there are number of church
clubs made up of the members of the
different churches, which have af-
filiated themselves into one general
organization for the promotion of the
good work being undertaken and to
largely control or govern many of
the social activities of the institution
which of necessity means whole
some and good influence.
1t is not known that the State Uni
versity of Idaho is peculiar in this
work. 1t is hoped that many student
bodies are equally as active though
it is an occasion for congratulation
that the state institution is taking
such an active part in this work

came to the turn of the Methodist

Kncu3
As Told by an Aqed
Uesferner to
AAppEL SHERMAN
IN Golfers

I FIRST saw Abraham Lincoln IL
March, 1883, when 1 made trip to
the East from California via the
Isthmus of Panama 1t was at the
Presidents levee, and, Of course,
wrote to my family in the West, tell
ing them my impressions. This letter
proves that I. like many others of the
time, misjudged the man and surely
moderated his abilities:
Last night 1 was at the Presi-
dents levee and saw many Of the
dignitaries. A few moments ago
saw Burnside and at first view
was satisfied Of his incompetency
to command the army. It is
strange that our President and
others have so little perception Of
character. Lincoln Is 4 good
natured Westerner.
Later at one of the White House re-
ceptions Mrs. Cole and 1 waited in
the long line to be received. She some
how dropped one Of her white gloves
and was not conscious Of It until we
had moved up and it was our turn
to greet the President and Mrs. Lin
coin. She stood looking about her In
dismay for the missing glove, and the
President, seeing what had happened,
watched her with an amused smile.
In moment he said: Never mind,
Mrs. Cole, 1 shall have a search made
for It tomorrow. and shall preserve 1t
as a souvenir"
This remark, coming from man to
whom book etiquette was thing I'M
known. proved him to be an Unborn
gentleman. His department never
missed, because 1t was the expression
Of his friendly feeling for all. He did
not Offend because in his heart he felt
no luminosity for anyone.
Always In consultation he was argu-
mentattve. but not dictatorial. He
was one Of the best Of listeners and
was always open to conviction, yet II
his own reasons were well founded,
and no one had better reason to
offer, ~ could not be moved. But he
was never extensively opinionated.
His Use Of Anecdotes.
His profuse use Of anecdotes Is, of
course, a matter Of history. 1 remem-
Der one day that Mr.. Shannon and I
went to see Mr.. Lincoln regarding
some legislation that concerned Cali
fornia. He could not comply with our
wishes In the matter, and In order to
let US know that conversation on the
subject had terminated, he told us
this story:
In the early times in Springfield, |
there were three churches, all ortho-
dox, Methodist, a Baptist, and a
A young fellow came |
there very Unexpectedly to preach the
Universalist doctrine and to establish |
a church of that faith. That particular
creed was very unpopular at that time,
and these three orthodox preachers |
determined to &c. together and preach

these from time to time with no in
terruption or pause in his speech.
When he had concluded the band
played and then, without announce
ment, Lincoln arose. He laid his coat
off, but retained the familiar shawl
about his shoulders. I sat but a few
feet away, on his right.
He began by stating well-knOwn
facts-facts with which we were all
familiar. His sentences were short,
and 1 had the impression that some
times their briefness was due to the
fact that emotion choked his utter
ances. It was one Of those times when
he seemed weighed down by his re-
sponsibilities, and his voice was fairly
pathetic In its intonations. Everyone
listened attentively, but 1t then did
not seem remarkable speech, and we
were all fairly surprised when he sat
down. The audience broke up without
expression or demonstration, but I
was conscious that Lincoln's remarks
had made tremendous impression.
Discussed Possible Danger.
During the last two years OF the
war went in and out Of the White
House at will. I usually found Lincoln

and gave me cordial welcome.
On one Of those days when I went
1 saw look Of distress
on his face such as had never seen
on any human countenance. 1 stood
still, not wishing to disturb him. Sud-
denly he saw me and swiftly the look

his usual smile. I stayed with him a
long time that day and we went over
