this able and well-known bunker Elder We
have taken it from TIE GO rmns of the West
minister !Sontii.E AMI made somc authorized
changes.
The life Of Daniel p. Say,cr forms a chap
ter in the history Of the German Bopts!
Church in America. Since lis carlicstln man
hood identified with that organization, and
for thirty five years conspcuoUs'y rromi-
ncnt in its councils ard It's work, he hNs at
every stage of its progress during that Pc
Rod left the impress of his ability and his
sterling character.
In the sense of the schools Elder ID. p.
Saylcr WAS not an educated man. Educa-
tonal opportunities did not exist sixty Years
ago as they do now. Nevertheless, the best
that his community afforded and his time
allowed he utilized, and this--sender basis
as it washe supplemented with diligcnt
reading and careful thought. He was man
of positive opinions and strong convictions,
never shrinking from their avowal and al
ways ready to maintain them by argument
to the best of his ability. This characteris-
tic, united to very decided orator!ral abil-
ity, soon gave to Elder ,'nylcr reputation
throughout the entire brotherhood.
| He was born near Beaver Dam, Frcdcr-
, iclI county, Md, June 23d, 1871. He WAS
grandson of Elder Daniel SaylN, who, with
his parents were the first German D"p,ists

braries and feel great pride in them. Much
of the best work of our teachers fails largely
of accomplishing the results intended, simply
because there is not at hand a thoroughly
practical library from which information
may be gained by the student to supplement
that given by the teacher, and besides, the
teacher not having sufficient library, can.
not place the subject before the pupil in the
clearest light.
We have in our encyclopedias, histories
and works of reference, the nucleus of an ex-
cellent library. We might, like some of oar
lletghJ0rs, even boast of volumes of public
documents-as we have goodly number of
valuable works-to swell the appearance of a
library, but we want plain understanding
of plain facts.
We need a library Of first class works
bearing on the different departments of educa-
tional labor; books of science and literature.
of history. travel and biography, and in all
the various lines of thought; the best works
OF the best minds of the world.
In order to stand first among the schools of
our region we must have library, not nee
essarily large but good and carefully selected
with reference to the needs of our school.
This is well worthy the thoughtful consider
alton of our citizens.
