Mr. Albert Dickens, President Commercial Club, Manhattan, Kansas. My Dear Sir: It seems to me from what has been accomplished by the president of the college and the dean of the division of engineering, that there is open to the college- at this time an opportunity to effect a saving of four or five thousand dollars per annum in the expenses of this institution by forming a direct connection with the railroads running into this city. It is perhaps needless to call your attendtion to the fact that the money saved in this manner could be used to great advantage in the development of the college in many ways. The matter is attractive from the further standpoint of the unusual possibilities in the way of educational development, hich will enable our engineering division to become the equal of any in the United States.

In effecting this economical enterprise in this great school and this opportunity for development in the educational and experimental' work, the interests of this college would be greatlv forwarded could it have the cordial and active cooperation of your honorable body. It is the order of the board of regents that I request this cooperation and trust that the interest which your city has always shown in the development of this great school will be given further evidence in the successful completion of these plans which have been presented to you by the representatives of the College. Very truly yours, W. E. BLACKBURN, Acting President Board of Regents.

Baptism and Baptism by Immersion." inis is ine iourm sermon upon uis-. tinctive Baptist Principles." The series is attracting considerable attention. The pastor, Mr. Atkinson, has threcf reasons for giving the series.

First, there are young people uniting with 1 the church who are unacquainted with the life of the demonstration, its principles, history and achievements These should be instructed. Second The position of Baptists is greatly misunderstood. Many people think that the distinctive, principle of Baptists is immersion. Whereas, no protestant makes less of Baptism than Baptists Third: These principles are the very heart of the gospel and should be continually preached. The sermon Sun- day morning upon "Believers' Baptism and Baptism by Immersion," gives the position of Baptists upon this subi ject.
