-Kb5ys all thinssj the closing exercises of
q school should be overshadowed and
peryaded by a genuine religious influence.
Let no community then discourage,
but encourage, the teachers, and help
them to make the last day of the session
most enjoyable and beneficial occasion.
The cause of education is second only to
that Of religion, and is close akin to it.
Keep the moral and intellectual training
together, if possible, but BY all means do
not let the moral training Jag behind.
And in these closing szSefcisss care should
be taken to so arrange and conttol them
as 70 make them q power for good. The
selections should be morally healthy and
sound, and such as will inspire the school
and public to nobler life Of usefulness /;
and energize the young people to earnest
II and honestly strive to attain to noble
and devoted manhood and womanhood.
AsI have already said, / was impressed
with the good inHuente likely to flow
from the closing exercises Of Williamson
Female College, Honea Path High
School, Patrick Military Institute and
w. P. Hollands School. Let such
events be encouraged. MN

CleYeland's Destiny.

How closely merit and fate are married
in this world, is not easy to inquire.
But what statesman, after all, has had
the destiny of Grover Cleveland? The
protoge of Tilden, the ally of Daniel
Manning, the chieftain of q cabinet with
Whitney and Lamar, and the head of
two great national tickets, seconded by
such men as Thomas A. Hendricks and
Allen G. Thurman!
Men greater than Cleveland have en-.
ioyed far less distinction. Clay, Web.
ster, Seymour and Tilden have blazed
through life without tithe of such re.
ward, while the patient, plodding Office.
man, with coed sense and close manage
ment, has vitalized the strength of q
great constitutional party, and used its
ablest men as Napoleon planted his field
marshals. The selection of Thurman for
the second place makes strong ticket.
He is an old line Democrat. 1t gives
the ticket distinctive party flavor, re.
lieving it from all taint Of mugwumpery.
It summons the veterans from the indif.
ference with which they regarded such
men as Gray, who are recent proselytes,
and it recalls to their campaign all that
is glorious and inspiring in the record Of
the party. 1t is in fact rally of the
Bourbons about the citizen.kiDg.
Hendricks gave his life to Democratic
duty, and now Thurman comes from re-
tirement like Cincinnatus to smiling
selfsacrifce. Great is the party with
such old heroes, and fascinating the fate

Japan Turning 10 Christianity.

ty by laying stress on the secondary
benefits its acceptance insures. Those
connected with the movement say that
Christian dogmas are bitter pill to
swallow, but advise that it be swallowed
promptly for the sake of the after effects.
Fukuzawa, a we'll known writer, urges
this course, although he says he takes no
personal interest whatever in religion,
and knows nothing of the teaching of
Christianity. But he sees that it is the
creed of the most highly civilized nations.
To him religion is only garment to DO
put on or taken off at pleasure. But he
thinks it prudent that Japan should wear
the same dress as her neighbors, with
whom she des Tres to stand welh Prof.
Toyama, of the Imperial University, has
publisheda a work to support this view.
He holds that Chinese ethics must be
replaced by Christian ethics, and that

sentiment and feeling leading to harmon.
