HOW MISFORTUNE BUILT A RELIGION
DR. SANDERS REVIEWS ORIENTAL HISTORY.
Why Geographical Position of Judah Affected Biblical History.
President Frank K. Sanders gave the third of his series of talks Wednesday afternoon on "The Exile aid its Interpreter."
"The period," according to Dr. Sanders, "was from 586 to 538 B.C. During this half century of prophetic prosecution three great things happened to Judah. These were the conflict with the rising power of Assyria, the introduction of the deuteronomic law, and to the idea among the thinkers that one must suffer religiously to work successfully.
"During this period Judah would have fallen at any time had she been aggressive. However, she behaved well and was left unmolested. One reason for this was that the country had the great advantage of being in the hills and not in the routes of commerce. On the other hand the northern kingdom, Israel, lay in the direct path of all armies passing through the country and the land was momre fertile. Consequently Israel suffered severely from marauders.
"Babylonia gradually became the great power before which the Assyrian empire went to pieces. The Babylonian ruler left Judah alone, but the Judeans became restless and wished to open hostilities. However, one of their countrymen, Jeremiah, persuaded them to remain at peace and acknowledge the political power of their neighbor. Finally his countrymen would no longer listen to reason and so declared war. The Babylonians immediately conquered them, for the people were weak, and led them into captivity. Jerusalem was burned and the nobles and others who might be dangerous to Babylonia were exiled.
"Then Cyrus, king of the rapidly irising Persian empire, captured most of Asia Minor and freed the people of Judah."

The fund of $100,000 for the erection of the Cleveland Memorial Tower in connection with the Graduate College buildings of Princeton is nearing completion, nearly $90,000 having been subscribed. In order that it may not be necessary to resort to any unwise economies in erecting the memorial, the total sum will be raised to $110,000, and it is hoped that the entire fund will be completed by the anniversary of Mr. Cleveland's birth, March 18.

Ray Hall's nine-piece orchestra of Topeka will furnish music for both the farce and the prom. Several new songs by Henry Campion will be the new "wrinkles" in song specialties.
A chorus of sixteen has been chosen to accompany the farce. Following are the girls: Leora Kuchera, Grace O'Neil, Frances Banker, Josephine Rushmer, Sarah Morrison, Nellie Carrier, Beatrice Neumiller, and Lois Harger. Harold Evans, Paul Surber, Frank Reid, Allan Van Scholes, Eugene Davis, Henry Campion, Donald Wheelock, and Floyd Fischer make up the rest of the chorus.
The first rehearsal was held Tuesday night in room 110 Fraser ball, and the second rehearsal will be held Tuesday evening, April 4, at North College. Miss Gertrude Mossler wil direct the rehearsals.

CHARACTER OF CHRIST.
Mathews Expresses Opinion of Christianity at Y. M.
The Y. M. C. A. meeting held Wednesday evening was addressed by Dean Shailer Mathews. His subject was "The Conquering Character of Christ." Dr. Matthew's idea of Christianity is to try and be like Jesus and to believe that he is God.
"A person should have an image of the Savior. If ever any one tries to be like Jesus and to go to him, he will come to help you. Jesus was a great fighter not with weapons, but with convincing arguments. Even though you do not believe in Christ, do you have a conception of any God that is better? It is far easier and better to believe in the Christian God than to have your own conception."
