THERE it~

at present considerable discussion in oar e~ter~ institutions about introducing the study of the B1ble mto the literary department of the college course.

It h~s l~ng be~n urged that the Bible as u. literary prod~ctr~n IS one of the best in the language, and that its h1storr~al value is such as no student aiming at a general e~uca~on: can well be without. Denominational preju- ' d1ce s till now kept it_ from bein~ u~ed as a text-book, but w are glad to notrce that thts 1s being rapidly remov~d. The movem~nt deserves ~uccess, and it is hoped that In a few years Btble study wrll be an optional in all I our colleges. ,

questions does the astron()mer len\"e unanswered. o with me to the geologist anJ tltere you behold another· wide field for observation nnd invc tigation. Again your insatiable thirst for knowl dge impel:; you to ask a series of que tion ~ which the gcologi t; by virtue of having answered them for himself soon explains to you . In his explanations he conducts you to the r ocky hills und shows you the record of past eruptions and convul ion ·, before the existence of man.

Skeletons of monsters and of the various animals, of whom no other trace is left are dug out of deep strata, showing the power of our Cretttor. V\ ho tHerefore will deny the importance of these two element~~ why and how in scientific research? But it is not to cicnce alone that we must look for the importance of these t wo elements.

Roll back the wheels of time to the fifth and sixth centuries when civilization was yet jn its infancy. ~...,; tudy the history of that period, and you will learn that one of the greatest causes of the advancement of civiliz,a tion was tlte appearance of great men-men to whom the state of society was so unbearable and revolting, that th ey could endure it no longer. A new state of society, more general and permanent than anarchy, must be introduced, and in the irdetermina.tions to change society we can imagine them meditating almost day and night, trying to solve the great question-how can we afrec t such a revolution successfully? But the problem is solved. Although, perhaps, not so s udde nly as those of Newton and Archimedes, neverthe1ess gradually society awoke from ita torpidity, and when one man fell, others with equal zeal and enthusiasm for the amelioration of mankind ready to fill the ranks. But let retrace our steps, on our homeward journey, top n.t one or two ----~marks, lu ting monume of history. Perhaps eriod of so great and la ting benefit to society, erature untl art as that of the Reforuaatiom or religious JOn .

Although tne enemies of the Reformation attempt to ascribe its cause to accidents nnd mischances anu to the ambition of sovere ign~, fact indica e that the cause of the Reformation was a more noble and p o werful one.

Man's mind was, a it were: cn~laved; free tltoutrht anu t) speech wa a thing hitherto uuknown; religious liberty, a thing unlieard of. 0 nller these circum tances the human mind, with a greater tle ire for developing its powers than ever before, made a. sudtl n and desperate eflort to obtain its liberty. The cause of thi intellectua l insurrection we .may attribute to the answering of the many questions that pre ented themselves, such as th e following: Why this restraitat'! 'Vhy this tyranny~ Why this enslavement of the mind? IIow can we extricate ourselves from it? For other examples of the importance of these two element , you hnve but to observe -,vhat it has done for th amelioration of society at large.

The reader.a of '1' 11 E ANCHOR will n:adily remember theY. :\1. C. A. conventions at K~Ja.mazoo and Grund Rapid , arul the bles ings experi enced there. 'Havin~ ~njoyed the privilege of :~tteading tho ·e gath erings, it gavo the writer great ple~sure to find that it would be po~sible for him to attend the State convention of Iowa, held at 'ioux 1 ity, Oct. 19-23.

And it gives him great pleasure now to accept the JD· vitatiou to give it renders a brief ·account of what we have seen and heard at • ioux City. : The convention opened \Vednesdal' evening, Oct. 19 with an addre by Hev. D : Bradley, of Yankton, D. T., on the ·Religious element in manhood."

It wus a clear, vigorous and nblb address, declaring that none but the men of bighe:St character can overcome the powers of evil, both within and with out; und that no one cau attain to such a character tiut the man who acknowledges Jesu as the ""on of God and pattc·rns his life according to that moLlel.

The recrular es ·ions of the con ~en tion •were opened 0 the next morning wi th a fell ·slaip meeting, led by :Mr. C. G. Baldwin tate Secretary of Iown. l\Ir. Baldwin's theme wa , 'Love to Christ as the bond of ou r union. " l\Ir. ,V. E. Lc!wi ' Sta tc ecretary of \Viscon in, wns thc u introducccl, antl spoke on the thought thnt we were l:Lboring. '~n His name, .. and that also "In ]lis name" we mu task for whatever ,.,,e .

.

wi h.

It was u meeting full of blessing and the delegate felt themselves drawn nearer together by the contemplation of tlteir love to llim in whose name they were ru em bled.

In the organization of the conveutjon, college men bore a prominent part. The president .. wa Prof. F. Starr, of Coe 0ollege, Cedar Rapid , and the first antl econd secretaries were college students.

The State Committee's r eport gave the number of associations in Iowa a.t about fifty, of jcneral ecrctnrie · at nine, and Gymnasium uperinte~dent three. Two State ccrctarie are employed Mr. '. 0. Bal1l" in and his as i ' taut. :\I r. Danner. 'rlt rc are a yet no .. sociatiou : Luih.ling in Iowa· but Cc1lar Rapids i buil«ling one to co. t '~ :1 000, and . ._ ioux City expect to have one iu a year. 'l'ho tate Un iver ity a ··ociation is also collecti~1g funds for a building, whi ch it will un do ubted ly secure. 'l"here is on the State work a n et ucbt of even hundred dollar .

For the next year it is proposed t9 raise five thousand dollars; two thousand of which was pledged at this convention. If the proposed sum be rai -etl, all the debt can be paid. 'l'llUe in Iowa the work lo~k encouraging.

One thing missed by those accustomcJ to attend the fdichigan Convention, was th e devotional meeting with

which every session of those conventions is opened. Besides the Fellow hip meeting on Thursciny nnd the conservation meeting on unday, there were no meeting for prayer open to all the delt-gate~.

The lack of thr e wn , however, in some m<'n~lll'l' CCJmpen atcd for by tho excellent Bible reading led by 1\Ic$srs.

Ege of Burlington, R. A. Orr of Pittsburg. a.aed \\'. E. Lewi , of \Vi consin. 'fhe fir t of these wa given by 1\Jr. Ege 0:1 Thursduy afternoon. The principal idea was that we ~houhl take Cbrist as ou r model in per.. onal work. lie ~ ugge te«l as a profitable cour e of tudy for the 'l'ruining CluEs; ''Christ's conversations with individuals,, particularly those with icodemus, the self-satisfied moral ruan; with the woman of amnriu, one outwardly iuful an'l the two discipll•s going to Emmau~, discouraged Christians. 'l'he question, '!low can we awu ken to religious thoughtfulnes ?' ' was treated by ~lr. C. C. mith, General ccrctary of the Marshalltown as ociation, and a very su"·ces ful worker. l\Ir. _ mith considered r he gospel meeting tu be the most efficient mean , and proceeded to peak of what a Go~pel meeting should be.

He aid: u .,ospel meeting must have in it atten<lance both Christians and sinners. The sinners should be made uncomfortable. I do not consider it a. good sign when everyone is pleused with a meeting. When a. subject is announced we must stick to it as closely as posslble. " This was followed by an audress by ~Ir. \Y. E. Lewis on The Bible, auu how to use it." It was full of the speuker's characteristic energy a.ntl earnestness, which tho e who hearu ~I r. Lewis at Grand Rapids last winter will remember. lie e~pecially urged the use of tlae Bible.

One of the most impre~ sive meeting of the convention was the Bible reading of l\lr. R. A. Orr on Friday morning. It was referred to several times by delegates as e ·pecially adapted to promote careful self-examination. 'l'lac lliblu reading was opened by tlte re:ponsive reading of J u h n 2 1: 15-1 .

Prayer was oft'crt.!tl. Mr. Orr then asketl: '· \Vhut (1uestion was asked'( ' By whoru? " ' Of whom~ " · \Vhere?" '· \V hen'?" "\Yhy'~ "
