Today is being ovserved by several religious denominations as a day of special prayer for schools and colleges. A century ago there were scarcely any young men in the colleges who were pious, so greatly had the wave of French infidelity spread itself through the land. And many wers entirely indifferent the consideration of a religion.

Four students in Williams college, Massachusetts, appointed a meeting in a private house in the outskirts of the village where they could be free from the intrusion of their fellows, and there met for prayer. The formal prayers in the college chapel did not seem to be held in reverence. By the year 1825 under the influence of the preaching of such famous evangelists as Dr. Finney and the like, all this was changed and a considerable number devoted themselves to preparation for the ministry. From 3830 until the war in 1861, a large percentage of all students sought the ministry.

This has now declined to a marked degree. In Lafayette college there were about fifty or sixty ministerial students some twenty years ago, while now there are aut thirty-two so enrolled. A census of the college was recently taken. It showed that of the entire number in attendance, viz: 434, two hundred and eighty-five were church members seventy are Lutheran or Reformed, hirty-thre Methodists, twenty Bap- ists or Episcopalian, one hundred and hirty-eight Presbyterians, eight Roman Catholics, three Jewish, and fourteen in other denominations. The Northfield movement has called into existence private clubs for Bible study and missionary investigation, in which fifty take part, while about seventy teach in' Sunday schools.
