A little girl, whom we know,

to her mother one morning, say-

“ Which is worst, mamma, to tell
lie, or steal ?”
The mother, taken by surprise,
plied that both were so bad she
uldn’t tell, which was the worst.

Monmouth, the seat of Christian College, is a village of about 400 inhabitants, noted tor
their morality and devotion to the cause of education. The Oregonian Railway pass®« through
the middle of the town, giving daily connection with Portland, and affording the means tor uasv
i travel and rapid freights. In addition to a passenger depot in*the middle of town, the O. A C.
R. R. passes through Independence, two mi.es away, and the steamers plying the Willamette
land there also ; making Monmouth one of the most easy‘towns of access in the Btah . 1 arent's
who desire to placfftheir children under good educational advantages, where they shall be free
from the intetni>eianco and ir.moiTlity p evulent :u the larger towns, will find in Monmouth
just what they desire in the <e tespec's. It is a School town, built up for this purpose, and all
other interests centtr in thia one. Hence i;s superiority for educaiional purposes.
A I < V A N T A G E 8 .
The Faculty is the most important element to the successful working of any institution of
learning. The B aid of f'rus'<«-H have sought to put in the various chairs of Chrir iuu Colligo
men of marked ability, of established success in their respective departments, and who are Just
iu the maturity of life. At tbc..hands of these mon they expect to tea Christian College among
the most honored institutions of the laDd.
B uilding .—Only one wing of the new brick College building has been completed, and this
is being remodeled and greatly improved this year. It contains three working s ories of large,
airy and well lighted room*, used lor study and recitation. The old College building adjoining
has been thoroughly overhauled and converted into a pleasant and commodious chapel.
Apparatus sufficient for ordinary purposes of illustration, is now provided, and additions will
be made from time to time. The Library contains a few volumes ot interest, and new volumes
of value will be added as fast as tho means at our command will allow.
DISTINCTIVE FEATURES.
The features of Christian College to which we especially invite attention, as distinctive of our
work are as follows:
C hristian M orality .—The Bible is read every day and lectures calculated to impress its
morality are given, and with the Bible as a basis, the' effort to impress the highest Christian
morality as the guiding principle in the lives of our students. Dogmatism and bectarianism are
carefully ayoided. We ignore all religious or political divisions, and encourage great freedom of
thought, ami aim to stand on that high plane where Protestant or I atholic, Democrat or Re­
publican, can meet on one common level.
P ractical E ducation —The great demand of the times is for men of action. An institution
of learning to meet the needs of the people, should not only impart instruction, but along with
the knowledge gained, give students the power to use it to advantage for themselves and others.
The idea of Christian College is, that the finest mental culture and the greatest benefit may
be obtained by the study of those things that will fit young men and women to at once enter
some pursuit or business, and carry it forward successfully. Instead of those branches that are
simply ornamental, we prefer those that are useful, and we invite comparison and criticism on
our work. Our aim is to graduate young men and women so that they may at once enter upon
the pursuits of lite.

are taught from a practical standpoint, with a view to the application of each principal to such
affairs as people meet with in life and desire to understand.

accomplishment can supplv ihe want of this. It can only be acquired by a thorough study of
English. In Christian College the course of English extends through four rears and we consider
this one of our most valuable features.
S ciences .— The rapid advanoe made in the various departments of Science and the rapid
succession of discoveries of new principles and applications, constitute one of the winders of the
age. Ro man can claim to lie educated who is not conversant with the present adv.auced stage
of Science. Very thorough work >s made of all these, assisted by the use of the apparatus at our
command. Sufficient time is allowed for a comprehensive understanding of the great principles
of each science.
A ncient L anguages .—By pursuing the best methods, the progress in a-quiring a knowledge
of the Geeek and Latin languages, is'rapid. We have dropped several authors that are frequent­
ly read in Colleges, with a view to doing better work in those that are read, and to give more
time for the pursuit of the course in English and . the Sciences, Experience has demonstrated
that both better linguists and scientists result from UiiR course.
