(By A COLLEGE GRADUATE.)

To any who are contemplating sending their boys or girls to institutions of higher education, I would urge an earnest consideration of the following experience in the light of their responsibility to God to bring up their children "in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."

Before entering college, I had been taught that the word of God was inspired from cover to cover; that God was a living, prayer-answering God; that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, to-day and forever;" that He came into this world as "God manifest in the flesh," lived a perfect life, was rejected of men ; that " Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; that He was buried and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures," and that " He ever liveth to make intercession for us."

All this I believed and accepted for myself. In my senior year, in a required course of ethics, the professor set forth theories which denied the living-God as taught in the Bible. There was much discussion of these views, aud an apparent acceptance of them by those about me.

One night, as I came back to my room from chapel, I felt alone in my acceptance of God and His Word. In a moment, as I stood there, came the thought that either what I had believed was true and these "theories which seemed to be sweeping the college were false, or I was wrong and these theories were true. I stood on the brink of casting aside all I had believed and drifting into rank infidelity. As I thought it over, I said:"If Thou art the living God and the Bible is true, give me some evidence that I am not alone here in this belief." Before I had finished there came a knock at my door-"Before they call I will answer." A girl came in who had never come before, and conversation at once drifted to the theories that were being set forth. She said she could not accept them, adding, that she had been saved in a Methodist camp-meeting as a child, and could not believe anything that denied the living God as taught in the Bible.

God had answered my prayer; I was saved from drifting into infidelity, and, thanks be to His name, I have never had a doubt as to Himself or His word ever since.

God carried me through, but will not you, Christian parents, consider well whether God would be pleased to have you place your children where they may in all probability have to pass through such an ordeal?
