Ninas!-1. 0000 Founded upon the eternal rock of truth She stands, a beacon-tower amid the waves, And pours her inextinguishable rays Of light and truth out o'er the troubled deep. The storm may rage and tempests dark may lower The rnaddened billows' ineffectual surge May rise and roar and dash against her feet- She still stands firm. Above the storm-cloud's rage Above the incessant 'rurnult of the Waves, She lifts her head and far away beholds, Outlined along the horizon of Tirne, Eternity's vast shore. And hither 'tis Her guiding rays would lead the mariner, Storm-tossed and weary of the restless sea. Oh! may she ever stand thus firm and sure, A never-failing fountain-head of light! Oh! may her guiding, rays thus ever beam Out o'er the foaming, turbid Waves of life, And lead the Weary Voyager at last Into the haven of Eternityl I 7

Gff fafwsff , BIBLICAL LITERATURE. PRESIDENT BURROUGHS. 0 vq FYQL LIE education ofthe College consists of certain departments of faflo E j p V W ? if vp Spd 5--.it 3-xi in rf ' iw iz- ir ' J fflutk .i g . its if instruction, moving along side by side and following one another. These are calculated, each in itself and all combined, to liberalize the mind and train it for usefulness in life. This training is brought about through acquaintance with the experience and life of the past as seen in history and letters and through knowledge of nature and man, as observed through science- physical, mental, moral and social. Among these courses of instruction we, therefore, rightly emphasize literature, ancient and n1odern, history, social science and philosophy. Consider the intimate relation of the study of the Scriptures to these branches of learning. Ask, for example, these two ques- tions: Whence is the Bible? and What is the Bible? Can they be answered without discovering and considering much that belongs in the fields of history and literature? When replies have been made to them, has not also valuable information for the pursuit of social science and philosophy been placed in our hands? But the answers to these inquiries are the results of a course of scientific Bible study, they summarize the outline and substance of such a course. When we ask, Whence is the Bible? we imply that the Scriptures have a history which we seek to investigate. They are a body of literature which has been handed down to us. Our investigation at once becomes a study in the history of sacred letters. We take up the sacred library as it comes into our hands in its English dress. We trace its history, first in one version
