THE COLLEGE LECTURES.

THE course of Biblical lectures in the College for the present year closed on Friday last, March 13. Seventy-four lectures have been given in all. Over a hundred names were on the class roll at the close, and the interest throughout has more than equaled that of any previous term. The course has been cut short a few weeks for various reasons. First, our own state of health admonished us that we must relax a little the strain of labor we have been under for some months past. Secondly, while the lectures in the Tabernacle are going forward, the students need a reduction of their school labor, to be able to attend them. Thirdly, most of the subjects remaining on the college program will be given in the Tabernacle course, so they will get the benefit of the subjects there. Fourthly, time must be provided for the special course of instruction with which the term will close as set forth in the remarks of Bro. Butler on this point, in this number. For which reasons it has been thought best to bring this course to a close for this year, as stated above. The occasion has been one of prosperity and encouragement throughout.
