private letter-book containing a large number of statements of prison experience by his fellow-prisoners. We can only extract one of these. Statement of Rev. George Harris, of Upperville, Virginia. On the morning of the 30th of August our quiet village was thrown into excitement by a report of the approach of Yankees. Fromhis business, when the following conversation ensued: Yankee. Are you the man of this house? Answer. I am. Yankee. What's yer name? Answer. My name is Harris; what is yours? Yankee. My name? Why my name is------. Then looking around, he espied some of the servants in the kitchen, a detached building, and awkwardour health, if not the lives of some of our party. But hitherto hath the Lord helped us, and in Him is our trust; we will not fear what man can do unto us. Mr. Harris, one the most devoted and useful ministers in Virginia, contracted disease at Fort Delaware, from which he was a great sufferer until, a few years after the war

Amherst College, An educational institution in Amherst, Mass., founded in 1821; incorporated in 1825. The funds for the construction of its buildings and for its endowments have been furnished by gifts of individuals, with the exception of $50,000 given by the State. The Christian men and women of Massachusetts have built it up and chiefly sustain it. The declared object of its founders was the education of young men for ministerial and missionary labor. In 1899 it had thirty-six professors and instructors, 380 students, buildings that cost over $400,000, and valuable art and scientific collections. The Rev. George Harris D. D., was elected its president in that year. Amidas, Philip

mous in English Unitarian annals. To mingle much with this denomination abroad was a novel experience for Mr. Garrison. On September 10, 1846, he wrote to his wife: Unitarianism is as odious in this country as infidelity is in ours; but, thus far, those who have most zealously espoused my mission have been the Unitarians. Ms. To S. J. May Mr. Garrison wrote from Boston on Dec. 19, 1846 (Ms.): I am under great obligations to Francis Bishop, William James, H. Solly, Philip Carpenter, George Harris, and other Unitarian clergymen, and have formed for them a strong personal friendship, which they appear heartily to reciprocate. By a letter just received from my dear friend Bishop, he informs me that, since I left, his wife has given birth to a daughter, whom they have named Caroline Garrison Bishop. This is an indication of their personal regard for me. James Martineau was absent from Liverpool when I was there, and I did not see him. I was told that he is considerably prejudiced a

te the small gaps of the stupendous process and evolution, not very clearly defined or delimited, became accepted as God's method of creation. Belief in the unique sonship of Christ is a difficulty in the complete acceptance of evolution. George Harris of Andover Seminary and later President of Amherst College writes: There is no reason to suppose that any other man will be thus Godfilled. . . . We may well believe that he was one who transcended the human. Moral evolution, chapter XVI. Because Christ produced a new moral type, Harris feels that we need not deny either his nature miracles or his resurrection. Among the most thoroughgoing Christian evolutionists of our period may be mentioned President Hyde (1858-1917) of Bowdoin College and President John Bascom (1827-1911) of the University of Wisconsin. The latter, in his Evolution and religion or faith as a part of a complete cosmic system (1915), rejoices in the breadth of view and the boundless hope with which the doctrine
