A Memorable Sunday.

The * Young Men’s Sunday” was a great success, and the different services of the day made it a Sunday long to be remembered. The services began in the evening, at the Presbyterian church. First came the formal opening of the new gymnasium, the address being made by Phil Bevis, of Lafayette. Prof. C. H. Robertson, professor of mechanical engineering, of Purdue University, and Prof. T. G. Alford, of the chair of mathematics, of the same institution were* also present, and all took part in this meeting at the Presbyterian church. At the regular morning services Mr. Bevis spoke at the Christian chnrch, Prof. Robertson at the Methodist, and Prof. Alford at the Presbyterian. All very ably and to large congregations. At the afternoon meeting for men only, at the Christian churob, Prof. Robertson was the principal speaker. At the meeting for women only, at the Presbyterian church, Prof. Alford made the address. The restricting each of these meetings to persons of one Bex, no doubt excited public curiosity, to some extent, and thereby increased tlia attendance, but there was absolutely nothing said at either meeting that might not properly have been said to a mixed audience. At the Union mass meeting, in the evening, at the M. E. church, all three of the visiting speakers participated. The attendance was very large.
