After. Dir. Mell had submitted his ex
cellent paper, which was received with
close attention, Coairman N. K. Harris of
the Commission asked if Dr. Mell would
allow a few questions?
Dr. Mell—**As many as you may ask,
Mr. Harris then asked, whether the
University property which waa offered
for site, etc., could be considered free
from incumbrance, in the language of
the art regulating the tender of property?
Dr. Mell.—“You are a lawyer, sir, and
must answer tbpt yourself. The Chan
cellor could not be expected to enter
tain legal questions.”’
.Mr. Harris—“I did not ask this to puz
zle you, doctor; but simply to settle the
matter in my mind.” /
Dr. Mell—“0, certainly. I will get
some lawyer among the Board of Trus
tees to answer this question.”
Mr. Harris—*,It has been held in the
Legislature when we asked for appropri
ations for this college, that the State had
qualified interest in the property

1 School must be in the name of
the Trustees of the University of Geor-

the same relation to the State as the Uni

law could have been appropriated for a
Technologic.il School except to the Trus

Holy Writ tells us of this festival
“And it shall be unto you an everlasting
law; in the seventh month, on the tenth
of the month ye shall afflict yourselves
and do no manner of work, both the na
tive and the- stranger who dweileth
amongst you, for on that day He attoneth
for you, to purify you from all your sins
ye shall purifv yourselves before God.”
Leviticus xxiii, 32..
The Day of Atonement is the holiest
of days. It is founded upon two prom
ises; the weakness and the power of
man.; upon sinfulness to which every
man, in the course of the year, becomes
more or less subject; and upon his god
like higher nature, by means of whioh
he is enabled to arrive at the consciousness
of his shortcomings and, through
own strength, elevate, purify and free
himself from all sins. But, extraordifi?.-
ry means are required for this purpose; ’
abstinence from all worldy occupations
and physical enjoyments, on one hand,
and on the other, increased devotional
exercises and profoundly fervent prayer
are the means leading to that sacred ob-
ject. m
