The recitations of Monday place a great temp tation in the way of students to do this. Satnrday is apt to be given up almost entirely to recreatiou and Sunday morniug dawns with the lessons unpre pared. The only alternatives are to prepare them on God's holy day, or to fail in the uext day's recita tion. This temptation, which could easily have been avoided, is yielded to by many who wonld not make I a practire of stndying on the Sabbath. It might be supposed that in a christian college very little of this would be found. But it is not the rase.
