.9@ Thomas Jefferson wrote the fol-
lowing excellent advice. There is much
human nature and good sense in if:
Harmony in the married state is the
very first thing to be aimed at. Nothing
can preserve affections uninterrupted but
firm resolution never to differ in will,
and determination of each to consider
the love of the other of more value than
any earthly object whatever on which a
wish can be fixed. How light, in fact, is
the sacrifice of any other wish when
weighed against the affections of one with
whom we are to pass our whole life.

THE FIRST CONFERENCE SCHOOL IN
AMERIcA-It is known by all who have
carefully read the Journal of Bishop As
bury that in the infancy of Methodism in
America an institution of learning was
established under the patronage Of the
Methodists of North Carolina, and located
on the eastern bank of the Yadkin river.
1t is not generally known that this was
the first attempt toward an annual Con-
ference School in America, and, as the ex-
istence of such an institution has not
been noted By the historians of the Meth
odist Church, very little attention has
been paid to the matter.-Rev. M H.
