Sunday School Lesson,

international series. Lesson for
March 10, 1889, 1.-THE Childlike Spirit. y
Mark 9:33-42. Questions on the lesson
to be answered and suggestions dis
cussed primarily by the members of the
Bible class in the Lutheran Sabbath
school of Abilene AMI by all others who
desire.
l. How came the disciples disputing among
themselves?
9. What were they disputing about?
). What kept them from seeing the mean
ing of His words?
l. What was it Christ rebuked?
). What is the distinction between worldly
greatness and christian greatness?
g. What did Christ teach his disciples?
Z. Where is the dividing line between right
and wrong?
3. What are you reasoning in the way?
g. What practical lesson for us in 402
Lesson Suggestions: We hold on to an idea
not so much because it is important or right,
but because il is ours and we do not wish to
give it up. Earth may not hear but heaven
catches every whisper. If we seek to be first
by our very self-seeking we lose our hold upon
the love and confidence of men. There is no
low christian work. Philanthropy is not
christianity but christianity is philanthropy.
Personal conservation to Christ is above all
churches. 1t is not the service but the motive
which glorifies the act. 1t were better for the
sceptic, the scoffer, the tempter of disciples
that they had never been born.

Regarding California.

Mr.. E. Hilton and family, who have
spent the past four months in Cali
fornia, returned last week to their Alb
ilene home. Mr.. Hilton has had a
wide acquaintance with the west and
looked into the state of affairs on the
Pacific slope with a critical eye and
careful judgment. He says that while
there is no life and excitement in the
cities of California than here there is
the same cry of hard times, only intens-
flied. The newcomers all bring money
with them, and upon this the country
thrives; but so far as there being any
solid business advancement nothing of
the kind is found. The people there
admit that the boom has tipped, and
point to the hundreds of idle wOrkmen
as arguments why no one should re-
move to that section. Mr.. Hilton can
see no inducement for man of moder-
ate circumstances going there. The
cost Of living is very high and work at
reasonable wages hard to find. The
climate, though, he found exceedingly
pleasant and the fruit abundant and
delicious. When he left last week the
season was as lar advanced as it is
here in the latter part of June and it
is almost time for harvest in the south
ern counties. He returns to Abilene
we'll satisfied and believing, as they all
do, that the Belle of Kansas is the
most charming of earth's favorite loca-

The Tribune says:
The Farmers institute in this city

tention everywhere. There will be
men from Topeka and other points east,

JEWETT RESIGNS.

The Superlntendency of the Abilene
Schools Given Up-The School
Board Accepts.
The board of education at its regular
meeting last evening was treated to
surprise in the presentation of a notice
of resignation from Supt A. V. Jewett,
who has so long been at the head of
the city schools. His communication
reads as follows:
ABILENE, KAs., March 4, 1889.
HON. A. S. DAVIDSON,
Clerk, Board of Education.
Ny Dear SIR l herewith resign the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the Abilene schools,
resignation to take effect at the close
of the present school year. 1wish here
to return to the present, as we'll as to
former boards of education of the city,
my sincere thanks for the many favOrs
received at their hands.
Very Trnly Yours,
A. V. JEwETT.
The board took the matter under adj
visement and at last acceded to Mr..
Jewett's request and accepted the
resignation.
No other business of Importance was
transacted.
In losing Prof. Jewett Abilene loses
one of the best educators of Kansas.
For fourteen years he has presided over
the educational work of the city and
has seen the schools grow from three
rooms to eighteen. He is known
throughout the state and recognized as
school man of splendid ability. The
Abilene schools, which faithfully reflect
his personality, rank among the first
in Kansas, both for discipline and edu-
catiOnal facilities. 1t is to be hoped
that Mr.. Jewett's successor, whoever
he may be, will keep the schools to
their present high standard.
Mr.. Jewett does not, we understand,
intend removing from Abilene, but
will forsake the school room for while
and settle down to watch the prosperity
of the city with whose growth and de-
velopment he has been SO long assO-
ciated.
