DEAR CORNER: Wo were greatly surprised
and panied on Sabbath last to hear one Of tho
leading divines Of our city speak slightingiy
Of the Froebel system of teaching, known -
Kindergartenng. We were surprised, for the
Doctor Is generally considered one Of our pro-
foundest thinkers and most conscientious
reviewers. We were panied, as were many
others in the audience, who have studied the
developing influences Of the Kindergarten, for
| 1t was hard blow, coming as 1t did from 70
eminent q source.
There are noble men and women who aro
| laboring earnestly for the good Of souls; striv-
| ing to bring order and symmetry out Of the
moral chaos Of wrecked humanity; endeayor-
| ing TO develop and beautify dwarfed, ungainly
souls, so full Of kinks and snarls that the d.
vine impress is nearly lost as IL were, trying
| to give more perfect form and development to
plants already grown. Before this noble army
| Of workers, among whom we are happy to
number the reverend Doctor, we stand with
downcast eyes, like the poor publican, NOT
feeling worthy to lift our gaze In their pree-
ence. But there Is . work that begins wish

school. Were the work we'll done for all the
little plants which the great gardiner places
here, would our clerical friends have such
hard labor In winning souls to CHRISTI Many

teachers leave them. We own that all kinder
gardeners are not conscientious In their work,
but are all ministers.
Should the religion of Christ DO judged On
tircly by the lives Of his followersf Neither
should Froebel's system be measured by the
work of all his professed followers. We have
seen kindergartners who make 1t child-pleas-
ing, nothing more. There Is much mis-
conception among worthy people regarding
this method. May we not put our taper in the

stating that on such night and such an hour
the light Of Calais burned dim and ships from
this section of the world were lost. Similar
letters would come from India England,
France-all telling of the wrecks occasioped by
the going out OF that light" The Bible stands
as the great lighthouse OF the world. Before
this light appeared nations sailed IN darkness.
And tonight il this light we're to 60 out, be-
fore many generations. we should hear reports
from this direction and the other that on such
a night and such an hour the Light OF the World
grew dim, and souls not knowing he way in
the darkness were drifting to eternal ruin.
