The shy might be called blue were It not actually n tender silver gray, blue only by contrast with the pink spots. In fact it is a triumph of subtle contrasts, a mass of supcr-rcfiud tones. Call up all the painters in mem ory, which one of them could do this? Others of his choice school of painters are like this, but still not up to so an ex alted n standard." Some prejudiced, shallow brained Methodist brother wrote an nrticle which nppenred in a recent number of the official organ of the Methodist denomination in Nebraska which wa a bitter and uncalled for attack upon the Advcntists. The location of the Advcntist college in Lincoln was the immedi ate cause of the nttnek. The article sounded very similar to some of the language used by our dear Puritan fathers in de scribing the followers of other sects. The Puritans were ex cusable, to a degree, for their prejudice, but for men of sense in this supposed age of toleration and liberty of conscience to deliberately attack the followers oi some other denomination on religious grounds indicates that there is something wrong. We arc glad to say, however, that Chancellor Crcighton of the Weslcynn has published a statement strongly disapproving oi what the writer in question said, and welcoming the Advent ist college.

The successful pioduclion was somewhat long and was delivered in a rather hasty and jcrkcy manner. NOTES. "Miss let me introduce you to Mr. Rock some body. Fogarty should be complimented for his unselfishness in refusing to stand in the way of such a mutual attraction. The U. of N. might take a hint from Doanc in respect to filing the exchanges for the benefit of tle students in general. "That red headcd.girl goes to the university," said Rock hold.
