Handsomsly-dressed store windows,
crowded streets. ageneral air Of business
shown by all you meet, smiling faces OF
young and old. aud mysterious but
significant preparations at home, all
bear testimony to its approach. Brains
are busy planning and nimble fingers
occupied in executing novel and accepta-
bic presents TO friends and kin, while an
occasional call on the monsyed man OF
the family proves that brains aud skill
cannot do all that is to be done. To the
older folk the approaching holiday sea-
sou brings mucL: care In the work OF
preparation. but to the more youthful
onss only pleasant anticipation. The
lsttsr's days are hours OF anxious eIpec-
~tation. and their nights bright visions OF
bliss. The bundle brigade will soon APP
pear on the streets, and the activity will
then be fairly at its height.

RET. ROBERT CALVIN GRlbR.

The subject OF this sketch was born
March 81, 1917, in Providence,
Mecklenburg County, N. c., some ten
miles South of Charlotte.
In May, of 1888, in his 18th year,
he paired to Canonsburg, Pa, and
entered Jefferson College, then in the
full tide of success, under the popular
presidency of Dr.. Matthew Brown,
where he gra luated in September, of
1885.
Having the ministry in view, he
commenced the study Of Theology
under his father, DR.. Isaac Grier, but
completed his course in the Theolosi-
; cal Seminary at Due West, then un-
der the charge Of the Rev. E. E..
Pre<sly, D. D. Having delivered
the usual trials, be was licensed in
April, 1889, by the First Presbytery.
In 1913, he was elected and irau-
gurated into the Presidency of Frs
kline College.
They who are conversant with
collegiate institutions know that it
requires peculiar qualifications to
preside over them successfully. Schol-
arship alone will not sustain a ran
in the Presidency, nor good elocution-
ary gifts, nor fine social qualities.
He may fail with all these. And yet
talents, scholarship, plausible ad-
dress, personal dignity, well,devel-
oped, communicative faculty, a know
ledge of human nature, self-reliauce,
self control and sort of impertura
bility which will fortify him against
excessive grief or the occurrence of
difficulties, are all necessary. But
they must be blended together in
proper proportions, and act in their
legitimate spheres. An overstrained
dignity may merge into the austere
and make his person repulsive. If,
in aiming to be firm, he becomes in
flexible, some of the objects of disci-
pline will be defeated. If his social
qualities are not attemperel with a
prudent reserve and digni6ed bear
ing, thev will sink into a jocular
familiarity. If possible, he must
strike the medium between the rigid
and the lenient, between the auste.c
and the too familiar.
An experiment Of seventeen years
of an actual Presidential life evinced
in the late DR.. Grier the existence of
the requisite qualifications. In per-
son he was tall and well formed; his

lE,P FROM TE''--'fA'N DhlD'h'

.~>1t was past midnight-the lights
on the stone bridge which crosses the
River Main at Frankfort were still
burning, though the footsteps of pas
seugers had died away for some time
on It's pavement, when young man
approached the bridge from the town
with hasty strides. At the same
time another man, advanced in years,
wa, coming toward him from Sach-
senhausen, the well-known suburb
on the opposite side Of the river. The
two men had not yet met, when
the latter turned from his path and
went toward the parapet, with the
evident intention Of leaping from
the bridge into the Main.
The young man followed him quick
ly, aud laid hold of him.
Sir" said he, II think you want
to drown yourself"
What i, that to you?"

Ice The favor to wait few minutes
and allow me to join you. Let us
draw close to each other, and, arm
in-arm, take the leap together. The
idea OF making the journey with a
perfect Stranger, who has chanced to
come for the same purpose, is really
rather interesting. For many years
have not made request to any hu-
man being; do not refuse me this
one, Viii h must be my last. -
The young man held out his hand.
His companion took it. He continu-
ed with enthusiasm: $50 be it; arm
in-arm. I do not ask what you are,
rood or bad-come, let rs drown.
The elder Of the two, who had at
first been in so great a hurry to end
his existence, now restrained the I'M
petuosity Of the younger.

weary eyes tried to examine the fea-
lures Of his companion. "Stop, SIR
You seem to be too young to leave
life in this way; for a man OF your

promptitude, appropriateness and
force. It was sure to be just the
word, strikingly expressive and bean-
.tifully appropriate.
As an evidence of the estimate
fixed upon his talents and public SER
vices, he received the honorary title
of Doctor of Divinity from Washing.
ton College, Lexington, Va, about
the year 1852 or 1858, before he had
attained the maximum Of professional
eminence, or the maturity of his
powers, being in his Seth year. Not
worn out, but wearied with his Presi-
Dental duties, he resigned in 1858.
If DR.. Grier was pre-eminent in
the classroom. he was scarcely less
so in the pulpit, and sustained him
self there under apparently unfavo,
rable circumstances. Selecting his
text on Sabbath evening. he rumisS
mated upon it during the leisure mo-:
ments Of the week, consulting butS
few authorities, and having reduced
his thoughts to a system, he very
frequently, at least in later years,
did nothing in the way of writing
until Sabbath morning, when, ih-thda
presence OF his wife and children, he
sketched off rapidly, in pencil marks,
the notes of the sermon for that day,
and with this apparently partial
preparation, he entered the pulpit
and delivered himself with such an :
accuracy and copiousness of phrase
ology, with such JUNCTION, self.posses-
sion and appropriateness of illustra-
ton, and with such force as to pro-
duce the impression with strangers :
that the sermon was the result of a
written, elaborate effort. There
was no stumbling, no overhauling
and reconstructing Of awkward SEN.
tences, for there were no ouch ~se.3~
tences, no unnatural pauses. no vain )
repetitions, no dragging ip Of extra
neous matter, no dogmatical asser-
tions.

Madame Berg will not give you any

all I possess. Have you any valua'

Bertha considered for moment.
Il have nothing" said she, at length
"but my mothers prayer-book. On
her death-bed she entreated me not
to part with it, and there is nothing

Whilst she left the room to put on
her bonnet and shawl, Karl Trait { fol
the young man was no other than
our hero), glanced over the writings
in the book, and his eyes filled with
tears of emotion and delight as he
read the outpourings of pure and
pious heart; and when they had left
the house together, and she was walk
ing beside him with dignity Of which
she seemed entirely unconscious, he
cast upon her looks of respect and
admiration.
They first went to Nine. Berg, who
did not give the advance required
but assured the young man that Ber-
tha was an angel. Certainly this
praise Mr.. Trait valued more highly
than the money he had asked for
They pawned the book, and the re-
quired sum made up. Bertha was
overjoyed.
"But if you spend all your money

"on what will you live tomorrow 2
Il do not know, but l trust in
God. l shall work tie whole night

When they came to the tavern, the
young man went in first to prepare
Mr.. Schmidt for the part he wished
him to act; then he fetched Bertha
