"UNION COLLEGE CATECHISM."

THIS is the title of the substance of the second number of the Central Union Conference Bulletin. It consists of nearly one hundred questions that people are likely to ask about Union College, with direct, pointed answers which give the pith of the annual calendar. It is designed for widespread distribution. Anybody may have any reasonable number of them for the asking. Address, Central Union Conference Bulletin, College View, Neb.

Work of Committee.

It was expected that the Text-book Committee would examine all text-books now in use in the schools of the denomination, not only those written by our own teachers, but also those obtained from other sources; also that they would examine manuscripts submitted to them, and be prepared to make definite recommendations to a general educational convention for the denomination, to be called next summer.
The committee makes the following requests:
1. Will those authors having text-books already published, or about to be published, kindly send copies to the members of the committee at the addresses given above, with such suggestions in regard to the purpose and use of their books as they may think helpful?
2. If authors will send manuscripts of unpublished text-books to the secretary of the committee, the committee will take pleasure in examining them, and in making such recommendations as their merit may deserve.
3. The committee will be glad to receive suggestions from any one in regard to the best plans of carrying on their work, and of selecting the best books for conducting the work of Christian education.
Address all communications to the secretary, Prof. M. E. Kern, College View, Neb., or to the undersigned.
C. C. LEWIS, Chairman.
