Questions for Bible Study
For Saturday night before the
4th Sunday in June. The book
of Joshua will be our lesson.
By whose authority wa« Josh-
ua given the command of the
children of Israel?
How did the children of Israel
get accross the Jordan?
What was the name of the first
city taken after the Israelites
crossed the Jordan and how did
they proceed? Tell the story in
your own words.
Where did the Israelites meet
their first defeat after this and
what caused it?
When did the Israelites cease
to gather manna? Why did they
cease?
How many chapters has the
book of Joshua, and what do you
think is the most interesting
thing recorded in the book?
Who deceived the children of
Israel and obtained a promise
that the Israelites would not de-
stroy them, and what trick did
they play to get the elders and
princes and Joshua to agree not
to destroy them? Tell all you
can about it and also whether
you think they did right. You
will find the account of this inci-
dent in the 9th chapter of Joshua
This is one of the most interest-
ing books in the Bible, and if you
will study it, it will interest you.

Will provide the funds neces-
sary for tlie pioposed expansion
of tiie University without any
addition whatever to tlie taxes
borne by the people. The in-
come from the University per-
manent endowment is amply
sufficient to pay the interest and
provide a sinking fund for the
bonds proposed.”
“This is a very clever, but a
very misleading statement, in
that it does not inform the read-
er of the fact that nowhere in
the amendment is there any tiling
which compels the Legislature,
or says that the legislature
shall use any part of tlie jierma-
nent fund to pay off either the
interest or bonds. It is loft to
the legislature entirely. Besides
the permanent income of the
University will not pay the inter-
est, to say nothing of the bonds,
for the five or seven million dol-
lars which the Regents said in
their report for 1012 that the
University would soon need.
Again, there is no mention in tlv
address of the fact that if boo-
are issued for other State
tutions that the tiux payer <j
got to pay them.' Any pu sou
who will secure a copy of the
amendment and read it can see
for himself that the statement
that the adoption of the Consti-
tutional amendment providing
for unlimited bonds will not cost
the tux payers a cent is not based
upon anything in the amend-1
meat itself. All bonds must bn
paid by tlie tax payers. The
adoption of tlie amendment will
cost the tax payers in interest
and in increased appropriations
more than a quarter of a million
dollars each year, and it means
the destruction of the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College,
the farmers school. This, with-
in itself, would destroy a million
and a half dollars of property,
paid for by the tax payers.
