We greet you. kind friends, as good children to

Feel assured that your motives and plans are al
right
We thank you most kindly that you have all
come,
And wish we were able TO furnish more room.
IT'S now fifty years since We joined hand and
heart,
The longer the union the harder to part
We find drinking the cup Of sorrow and JOY
Has never yet tended our love to destroy.
We've met with misfortunes, deep, lasting and
strong
Too deep and too lasting to tell now in song
Still our joys have outnumbered and sweetened
them all.
As the sunshine and shower from Heaven did
fall.
At the age of twelve years, the Savior said come,
For youth and young children there's plenty of

Our youthful days are here, tonight
Our pulses swifter flow;
We live once more amid the light
Of fifty years ago.
Our faith and love we plighted then.
With thought none else can know:
That golden hour comes back again
From fifty years ago.
All glory be to God above,
Who thought on US below
And gave the hope and joy and love
Of fifty years ago.
And glory be to Jesus name.
Whose cross hath blessed US so,
With heavenly peace in heart and home,
Since fifty years ago
Wen nee forget with thoughtful song
To praise Him as we go
While hand in hand we journey on,
As fifty years ago.
The way is bright with love divine,
And brighter yet will grow;
Till heavens own love. the love outshine
OF fifty years ago.
Prayer was offered again, and the as.

ought not to complain if the one idea take

The Teachers Institute come off here last
week. 1t was truly interesting and instruc-
tive, and gave entire satisfaction. It was
largely attended, the house was filed to its
utmost capacity, four days and nights, dur
ing the session. Many able and well timed
remarks were made on the best methods of
teaching. The various theories were well
ventilated by the pedagogues, who showed
an admirable degree of skill and zeal in de-
Tending their new born ideas. Lectures,
essays, readings, Rotations and vocal mu-
sic, formed an interesting part of the exer-
cises.
The Institute was complete success,
and shows that the people ara warmly en-
listed in the cause of education. The first
Teachers Institute held here was but a
mere nucleus, but has grown to respectable

Kansas has made the most rapid and
