No wonder that Presidents Kennedy smiles,

cannot be kept up by any means, but 1t
shows that the strength Of the New Ravens
was not fully realized by polo prognostisa-

THE FRIENDS.

We have before us a few statistics OF

Friends or Quakers; this latter from
the trembling or quaking voice with
which they gave forth truth. Their
rise is an interesting feature in Chris

The Puritans objected to the Church
of England because not sufficiently re-
formed; the Baptists, when they came
up, objected to the Puritans because
they had too much popery and needed

lists. and made declaration for a rerirdi

He believed that God, for Christ's sake,
had forgiven his sins, and determined
that he would never bs ashamed Of

He is wise who prays, make me TO
know my transgression and my sin, y
and he is blessed in whose experience
this prayer is answered. a Christian
may have the assurance that his sins
arc pardOned, but he should not forget
what he has been by nature and what
he still is in practice. The knowledge
of our own sinfulness is bitter medi-
cine. but it is essential 10 our healing.
A knowledge of sinfulness leads to
humility. We are naturally as proud
as "Lucifer, son Of the morning. We
are proud Of our. possessions and our
ancestry, and our strength and our
beauty. We are in danger of being
proud of our spiritual attainments.
Some have been proud of their humility
when they boosted "No one can flatter
u.s." When Christian realizes his con-
dition by nature and the imperfection
of his best services his pride dies. A
single sight Of himself, as he was and
is in the mirror of the Divine Word,
leads to self adherence. Every expe-
rienced believer knows that those times
when he feels his unworthiness are the
times when he walks "humbly with his
God
\ knowledge OF our sinfulness leads
to submission to the Diyine VIII.
Troubles must be necessary for our
qualification, or the Heavenly Father
would not 80 uniformly employ them in
His Dealings with His children; but they
are hard to bear. And so it comes to
pass that 1t is an easy thing to murmur.
But the moment we catch glimpse Of
our JUS. deserts, we will bear patiently
whatever the Lord is pleased to send.
Has he beaten us with forty stripes
We deserve thousand. Has He shut
us up in the darkness for seven years
We deserve an imprisonment of seventy
and seven years. He can kiss the rod
and the hand that holds it who remem-
bers the number and aggravations OF
his trangressions.
a knowledge Of our sinfulness leads
to watchfulneSs. When soldiers on our
Western frontier see hostile Indian
in the distance, they know that, ethers
are lurking in the neighborhood, and
redouble their vigilance. One sin dis
covered in life tells of corrupt heart
and calls for increased watchfulness.
II the tempter can succeed in shutting
our eyes against 1.-THE sinfulness of
SIM" he can lead us captive at his will.
A knowledge of our sinfulness in
creases our hatred of it; our love for
Jesus, who delivered us from its power;
our pity for those who are yet under It's
dominion, and our longing for the bet
ter land, into which sin never comes
The sight of sin i'll ourselves is not
pleasant, but it is profitable to those
who are rightly exercised thereby"
It is a means of grace; it is Jacob 8
ladder, by which We may climb to high
attainments. And SO We conclude as
we began. He is wise who prays.
Make me know my transgressions and
my sins, and he is blessed in whose exr
perience this prayer is answered.

Every college has q large proportion
of young men who 20 there either to
amuse themselves or to secure the social
cachet of degree. and to whom neither
punishments nor remonstrances can
give a serious turn. Employing pre-.
fessors to lecture to them and mark
them and scold them, is terrible
waste Of time, labor and money. They
ought to be got rid Of very promptly.
Colleges should be reserved for studi-
Gus men about whom their mothers and
fathers are not anxious and to whom
the opportunities which college life
gives are precious boon, and VINO In
college contract or confirm habits OF iu-
dustry. 1t is hardly an exaggeratIon
to say that one-third of the young men
who 20 to college now lose the habits OF
industry they have acquired at school
and come out into the world with their
degree less fitted for continuous labor
than when they went in.
or course it is in most cases difficult
to say now college life will affect any
particular youth until he has tried IT,
MANY man goes into college studious,
and soon becomes idle; many another
goes in lazy, and becomes studious and
industrious. The experiment has ofteL
to be made before any fiual decision can
be reached. But fathers and mothers
ought to make up their minds once Tor
all that the college is the world; that
when boy goes to college, he starts III
life lust as when he goes into business
IT they thinh lac cannot safely as yet be
exposed to the ordinary temptations OF
life, the parental roof is the best place

president or professors.
Anxious parents who are looking for
colleges without temptation, might
readily get a great deal Of comfort by
studying French experience i'll this mat
ter. In France the watching system to
the fullest extent exists. Every dormi-
tory has "a judas" in the door through
which "the rector" can peep at the
young hopefuls at all hours. The stu
dents are never out of sight of the au-
thorities, and their morals are looked
after with as much care as the fondest
mother could desire. The failure OF
this system on the moral side is ac-
knowledged on all hands, and in fact 1t
seems to be kept up rather for the sake
of the masters and parents than for that
of the youths. 1t is held to be the duty
OF elders to watch the young, and they
do it for the good of their own souls.
no matter what the effect on the young
may be. If parents would use more
discretion in deciding whether their
boysare fit for college on the moral side,
we should hear fewer denunciations Of
professors for letting them go astray.
This is essentially the parents duty.
And it is also his duty to take the boy
away from college promptly as soon as
he discovers the youth does not care
for it, or likes it simply for the good
fellowship and the games.-The Nation.
