...heart, but oftener are driven away by the all-absorbing cares and duties of every-day life. It is so even in religion. Religion is everywhere seeking ingress to the heart of man, and the knowledge of Christ is ready for those who are willing to search. The door is open, but no one enters. We can liken to this our modern discoveries.

Those who believe that History 13 requires more work than other full courses, must have formerly spent the time they now grudge putting on History 13, in pursueing the college catalogue in search of "snaps." And right here, it would be well to take a glance at the whole History department. In most of the courses the system of collateral reading is in vogue and with what result!
