Parents should visit the schools. An
invitation to come sometime or other ]
generally results in nothing. Instead of
saying, Come and see our school, when
you can, say "Come tomorrow morning
at ten, and hear your boy in his arithme-
tic class" or say Come Friday afternoon
TO see the school spell down." Invite
each parent TO a specific thing that will be
of interest to him, and he will be likely
TO come. Try the plan and see if it does
not work. Midland School Journal.
The summer session Of the Rock Elm
Institute will commence at Rock Elm,
Wis, July s, 1889. Prof. G.. L. Bowman,
Harrison Lowater, and S. /. Irvine will
be assisted in the work of destruction
by some others as a special force.
Over sixty-fve persons have already en-
gagged board and rooms. The Institute
will close with a regular County Teachers
Institute conducted by Supt. CT. Brewer
assisted by Supt. Goodrich, G. L. Bow
man and others. MIR. Bowman has not
received any appointment that will keep
him from his work at Rock Elm.
There is need of our constantly keep
ing before our boys and girls the value Of
a good education. This should be done
directly andincidentally. Many bright
lad leaves school years before he ought
to, simply because he has not been con-
WINGED that education pays. A bright
boy may be made to see that a good edu-
cation opens many doors of success, that
it gives broader opportunities for enjoy
ment, that it fits one for worthier man
hood and nobler citizenship. Were
these facts impressed while pupils were
in the grammar room and in the first
years of the high school course, the
question would not be so often heard on
graduation day-"Where are the boys2'
There is nobleness of character in
the person who, at whatever cost, rigidly
adheres to the truth, that all men admire.
In the business world the man who is
known to be truthful is always at pre-
MUM. But, though we so much admire
this virtue, it cannot be denied that it is
difficult to always be truthful. 1t has
been said that it is SO easy to tell the
truth and hard to tell a lie. Fortunate
would it be if it were, but it is not. If
we would attain to this virtue We must
strive for it. 1t is the foundation of all
r -.
no truthfulness we have no foundation
on which to build high and noble life.
Though at times the temptation to sacri-
fee the truth, that we may reach some
desired end, be great, remember and
keep before you your whole life, and build
not for time but for eternity.-Secrets Of
Success

Sitting still for an hour or two at

Watch the glowing Goals Of a fire as
each separate stick catches the heat, and
then throbs as if in living sympathy with
the other. Close the draft and note how
soon the dancing brightness dims and
dies away. Many a school is counter

find each pupil full of vigor and fairly
glowing with intelligence and enthusiasm,

is lack of pure air.

THE POWER OF YOUNG MEN.

III write unto you young men" said
the beloved disciple, because We are
strong In all our churches there are
young men in whose lives God has
stored vast possibilities Of energy and
influence. Their hearts are full OF hope
for the world is before them. Theii
eyes shine with tho fire of enthusiasm
as they look away to far-of goals. Ip
their brains are almost limitless re-
sources Of intellectual power, prophe-
ciss OF genius, poetry, music. elo-
quence. invention, craftsmanship, bust
ness. In their hands are possibilities Of
great achievements, noble works. brave
battles for the truth and for the right.
and against sin and wrong, beautiful
and gentle deeds OF kindness and Of
loving ministry. No wonder old John
Tebonius was wont always to lift bis
cap to salute the boys and young men
in his school at Eisenech. Among
these boys" he would say, "are men
Of whom God will one day make
burgomasters, chapcellors, doctors.
magistrates. 1t is marvellous power
that lies concealed in the hand, brain
and heart OF the Christian young men
Of our land.
Surely one OF the first duties OF the
Church is to develop this power for the
service Of Christ. There are thousands
Of young men in the communion of the
Church whose rich possibility of
strength and influence is contributing
out little to the cause Of Christ. They
are active in business, ID literature, in
the worlds work, in the professions, in
various secular lines. but in the Church
they are almost entirely idle. Their
voices are not heard in the meetings.
Their influence is not exerted in spiri
tual matters. They come and go as
mere attendants on the services, but

4 DESCRIPTION or CHRIST.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT oE JUDEA WROTE
TO THE ROMAN SENATE

WHAT THE PRESIDENT oE JUDEA WROTE
TO THE ROMAN SENATE
This was found in ancient manuscript,
sent by Publius Lentulus, President OF
Judea. to the Roman Senate:
There lives at this time in Judea a
man Of singular character, whose name
is Jesus Christ. The barbarians esteem
him as a prophet, but his followers
adore him as the immediate offspring
of God. lie is endowed with such un-
parallel virtues as TO be able to call back
tee dead from their graves, and to heal
every sort OF disease with a word or
touch. His person is tall and elegantly
shaped, his aspect amiable and rev.
erend. His hair flows in those beauti-
full shades which no united colors can
match, falling in general curls below the
ears, agreeably touching on his shoulders
and parting on the crown of his head like
the head dress of the sect called Naza
renes. His forehead is smooth aud his
cheeks without spot. save that of a
lovely red. His nose and mouth are
formed with exquisite symmetry; his
beard is thick and suited to the hair Of
his head, reaching a little below the
chin and parted in the middle like a
fork. His eyes are bright, clear and
serene. He rebukes with majesty aud
counsels with persuasive language. his
whole address, whether in word or
deed, being elegant, grave and strictly
characteristic of 80 exalted being
No man has ever seen him laugh, but
all Judea has frequently beheld him
weep, and so persuasive are his tears
that the multitudes are unable TO re
strain theirs from minging with his.
He is very modest, temperate and wise.
Whatever this phenomenon may be in
the end. lie now seems to be man Of
strange beauty and divine perfection in
every way surprising the children Of
men. st. Louis Republican.

SYSTEMATIC GIVING.

The obligation to give God one-tenth
Of one S income does not exist under the
Christian dispensation. 1t was a fea-
ture of religious system which was
excellent-the very best. indeed-for its
age, but which passed away when
Christ came, and has been succeeded
b, better one-better, among other
reasons, because it is a S. stem of
principles rather than Of details. be-
cause it allows freedom Of Judgment
instead of prescribing mere mechanical
obedience. Under this better Chris
tan system the believer is bound to
give generously u God, but not to give
any precise amount, which Is
the same proportionately as that
given by his nejgbbors and
friends. lie is hidden to give regular
~ ION the first day Of the week, y evil
IDENTITY as an element of his worship,
and to give according to his means, las
he may prosper. lie also is taught to
give willingly, mot grudgingly or of
necessity. for God loveth a cheerful
giyer.n But he nowhere is told to give
a tenth or any other definite proportion
of his income. The amount. absolute
aud relative alike, is left to his own
sense Of duty in view of existing needs
in the community and the world, and
Of his knowledge Of his personal fnan-
cial condition. In vast number of
cases q tenth would be too little.
1t is fundamental principle of Chris
tainity that all which the believer has
belongs to God. But each is left to de-
termine his proportion for himself, and
answers for it. We are the more clear
in this conviction of the liberty of pri-
vate judgment on the subject because it
is so evident that one-tenih is far frcil
meaning the same thing to all men.
One tenth of an annual income of S50,-
000-and there are many such-is S.,
600. and one tenth of an income of 81
600 is 5000. But is there any question
that it is a seyerer strain upon the man
to give away 5000 and have only 81 sol
remaining.

NO BETTER TEXTBOOK.

One of the most remarkable charac'
teristics of certain words peculiar to the
English Bible is their wide range end
applicability. In the study of words
there is no better textbooks than the

Masters of expression, as Bunyan'
Shakespeare, Milton and Moody, afford
copious illustrations of this. Aside
from the spiritual advantages to be
reached from the daily perusal OF the
Word of God, the effects upon the
