We have been asked by several to

deliberately held, while a great re

at a Baptist church In the city. But
wo don’t think its necessary to use
up much space on this matter, little •
things like this simply show the im
potence of those who would try to
hinder God's work. This College la
mere or less a Baptist Institute, and
wp hnvo no desire to unnecessarily
criticise It. Wo only regret the
