nee. and whose teachers Are well in
formed in the new discoveries in
psychology and pedagogy.
‘•The average freshman cames r ta
i college with vague and hazy ideals.
Heredity, environment, local schools,
local churches, public opinion in the
community from whicii he comes, and
other undefinable influences have had
their part in forming his ideals.
‘“He is not so p',astir as in former
days. He is bolder, franker, and more
egotistic than hjs father when he en
tered college. If this young Ameri
can is to be n worthwhile citizen, a
1 Christian, and a rent constructive
leader, his ideals must be revised, re-1
constructed, elevated. i
“Since religion and life, real life,
are almost synonymous, it is but nat
ural that Jhe church should be n
sttron,' factor in remaking his ideals.
He will likely entej college with a
wrong conception of the church. He
may hail from a community where re
ligion wan emotional and 'unethical,
where spirituality was measured by
the activity of the lacrymal glands.
He inny have been impressed that
the church, is for children, women,
and senile men. He may have imbib
ed the notion that religion is a pass
port to the beyond, n fire escape from
a more torrid climate.
' “If the pastors whom he has known
were ignorant of the laws of biology.
! unaware of the scientific slant on all
studies of this day. and averse to the
historic method of Bible study, and
besides alb this set themselves up as
censors of the faith of all forward
looking people and consigned all to
the inferno of heretics wlio did not
interpret the Bible as their grand
mothers £id, —if| this has been th<^
> class of preachers .whom lie has known,
l he will soon have, if he has not al
ready, a” conteiiipt for the ministry.”
Taming to tbg Type of pastor who
; should be assigned to the church in
the college community, the speaker
described him as one who is n gentle
man, a scholar, a Christian, one who
• intellectually is not one whit behind
• the professors; wjiose brain is con
• stjantly fertilized with r.ew thought
> and whose . heart is constantly fired
with new Experiences; a than who
practices -applied Christianity—aucl?
a pastor can reconstruct the ideals of
this collegian concerning the minis
try.
“The local church in the eollege
community should be a model church.
It should demonstrate the most up-to
date methods in ail its departments.
Effete and antiquated methods sire
unpardonable. The pastor who , uses
the methods of 20 years ago' is aver-;
, itnble Rip Van Winkle, and if he most
be kept on the effective list, should I
j be as far removed from the college as 1
possible.
“A church of this type can be a |
mighty factor in the formation of i
the religious ideals of our freshman. I
He may go into this church thinking
that it is an institution to get him
home to heaven, but he will go out |
‘. of it at the end of four years feeling j
■ that it is an agency to,establish the
Kingdom of God here in this world, j
He came into it with an individualis
tic type Os religion; he goes cut with]
a social vision. He came into it with '
an exaggerated notion about creeds;
nnd denominational lines; he goes out;
■ believing in unity in essentials, lib
erty in non-essentials; a citizen of
, the world with world-wide sympa
thies. i -
“Nothing short of a model church
: can render this kind of service. Noth

Two Women Lose Lives on Slippery i

X&w York, Feb. I.—Two women, ■
in New York city lost their lives to- 1
day and a score of others were injured 1
in accidents caused by sleet-covered 1
streets and icy pavements. Surface j
I and elevated car service was subject
to frequent interruption, vehicular 1
I traffic was demoralized and pedestrians !

the traffic jams.
j Similar conditions prevailed through
i out New York state and southern new
I England. A chilling northeast wind,
accompanied by a sharp drop in tem
perature Inst night, transformed an
I area which was sodden Avith rain into
(one of ice and sleet. Tree limbs
dropped under the weight of their cry

Post and Flagg’s Cotton Letter.
New York. Feb. 3. —While the
market fails to record any symptom
of uneasiness, but remains very
steady within an abnormally narrow
range, n feeling is noted in some
quarters that with near month
premiums there may develop a grow
ing disposition on the part of buyers
of goods to procrastinate ns much ns
possible with a view to obtaining
what they may need based on the 1
distant positions at such large dis
counts. The present relations be
tween months nnd crops is briefly re
garded in those quarters ns much
against any real activity in goods
markets with the possibility that the
consequence will be that mills en
deavor to dispose of their better cot
ton by passing it through the con
tract markets ns n result of last of
orders to enable them to work up the
cotton.
This would be a further reflection
of tile conditions which have led to
efforts to substitute the lower grades
ns far as possible. How much there
may be in such a theory is impos
sible to determine, but there is food
for thought in it after the ex
periences of the last few yean.
Much would depend on the nature of
the start of the coming prop but
should such a policy become general
it might prove the most effective I
means of dimipating the present con
trol of the marker by swamping hold
ers with deliveries.
It would not, however, seem prob
able that any such development js
impending in the immediate future
and distribution of many construc
tions of goods is on a scale to impry
numerous repeat orders for spot de
livery that will step mills quite fully
occupied and mean a continued con
sumption of raw material on n fairly
large sca t. POST AND FLAGG.

False economy, carried to th<

It is not possible to lay down uni
