Bible Classes.—All the Bible classes
have decided to go on for a few more
lessons after Easter. The subjects and
the leaders for April 21st will be as fol-
lows: A. Grabau, “The Resurrection of
Christ”; H. Taft, “Haggai and Obediah”;
B. Kirk, “The Test of Righteousness.”
Federation Committee.—Jean Davis has
just sent over two little magazines of the
Swiss C. A., called “Nouvelles de |’Asso-
ciation Chretienne de la Suisse.” They
have been placed on the Federation desk
in the C. A. Library.
The Student Christian Movement in
Belgium.—The Student Christian move-
ment was started in Belgium in 1908,
among 2 small group of students in the
University of Brussels. The conditions in
Belgium are anything but favourable to
the work. The moral and religious atti-
tude of the students is almost entirely de-
termined by the political and _ ecclesi-
astical situation. There are two political
parties, the Catholic and the Liberal, and
a man’s religion is entirely in accordance
with his party feeling. The students
identify Christianity entirely with the
Catholic Church, and contend that it is
contrary to science. Very little headway
has been made by Federation workers,
since they have had to contend with the
indifference of the students, the hostility
of the influential, and the want of leaders
and members to awaken the heavy, un-
willing spirit of their fellow students.
Bates’ House.—One hundred people
have given three hundred dollars for
Bates’ camp, that is, half the amount to
be raised. There is still a chance for the
rest of you to help in the immigrant prob-
lem and give the Italian children a happy
summer.
DR. STEINER SPEAKS ON THE RACE
PROBLEM
We were not disappointed on Sunday
night, for Dr. Steiner gave us one of the
most interesting and profitable sermons
we have heard. He said that to try to pre-
dict the outcome of the problem of immi-
gration would be attempting to do more
than the old coloured minister who said
he was going to “illumine the unillumin-
able, exhaust the inexhaustible, and un-
screw the inscrutable.” The important
considerations in the immigration prob-
lem are climate, food and language. In
America, the mountains running north and
south make the climate more favourable,
the more abundant food supply gives the
immigrants a chance to grow to their full
them the opportunity to get on in the
world. One peasant living a beautiful,
simple life in the great valley of roses,
said he was going to return to Pittsburgh
because there the “big boss” comes along
and says, “Hello, Mike; How you are?”
These people may not come any nearer
the Raphaels and Garibaldis of their na-
tions than we do to the George Washing-
tons and the Abraham Lincolns, but they
are eager to avail themselves of the op-
portunities of our land, and where they
come in contact with the finest American
personalities they strive to their utter-
most to imitate them. To the Russian
jonging for liberty this is “Holy America.”
It is for us to see that by our unpreju-
diced attitude and our brotherly sympa-|
thy we make it indeed holy.
