o, Son of God. whose life on earth
Was mirrored in thy lowly birth;
Eternal uncreated Word.
Thy name ,Immanuel.s speaks thee Lord.
Ere star or sun his radiance shed,
Or reyereut angel bowed MS head,
Or man thy earthly footstoOl trod,
From everlasting thou art God.
But awful, glorious mystery,
Ny God in human flesh l see;
To me, my sinful self akin,
Ny brother still, in all but sin.
0, wondrous grace! O love divine.
That won my heart and made me thine; |
My soul, my body, all shall be
A conservation, Lord, to thee.
Lord, keep me near thy loving heart,
That | from sin may ne'er depart,
Till with the ranSOmed thrOng above,
| harp thy praise, and sing thy love.

IRON COUNTY TEACHERS
INSTITUTE.
Final Notice to All Concerned:
The Institute opens at Ironton,
Monday, May 18th, 1870,
and will be held in the Public
SchooIhouse,


as first announced. There is no change of
time or place, and all concerned can proceed
to make arrangements to this end. This
Institute is to have for its object the pro-
motion of professional work among the ed
uCatioDal forces of the County, and when
organized it is the duty Of all who expect to
teach in the County to attend. The law
makes it your duty, and you can not afford
to let the opportunity pass unimproved.
There is pressing need and growing de.
mand for better teachers, and those who ex-
pect to keep pace with the progress of the
times must prepare themselves for the re-
sponsIbe work they have assumed. Too
many TEACHERS, or rather should say too
many who go through with the farce of what
they are pleased to denominate teaching ARE
no better prepared to do so than they would
be to administer physic promiscuonsly to so
many helpless infants. And which, | ask,is
the lesser evil, to lmbeciltate the mind or
the body? Methinks | hear you say the lat
ter. The teacher who is not growing is
dead, so to speak, and should be worked out
of the Pre- fession to make room for those
faithful cues who are willing to devote their
lives and best energies to the advancement
of the young, | am happy to say that the
old regime in this country is fast passing
away, and if our school officers will be on
the alert they may expect a0d will see bet
ter class of teachers applying for our schools
and they should be willing to allow them a
remuneration commensurate with theif
worth and Labor.
OUTLINE OF WORK.
The work will consist of a thorough re-
view in the essentials of all subjects requir
ed for Second Grade Cerif :dtc. The course
will be so arranged that each class will re-
ceiye five lessons week, and the subject
matter so divided that the entire subject
will be covered during the term. Students
will be required to make special preparation
for each recitation, particular attention be-
ing given to approved class methods. Stu
dents may bring any books they may have
on The branches required, and We will so ar
range the work that any modern text book
can be used.
Those young teachers who, not having
had the advantage of systematic instruction,
find their progress slow, painful and unsat-
isfactory, so as not seldom to discourage
their most persistent efforts-to persons OF
this class, experience has shown these sum-
mer "Normals" to be so eminently service
able that, in the interest of the profession,
and with view to promote familiarity with
the fundamental principles of education,
hardly less than in respect Of his private
emoiument, the conductor of this Institute

New YORK, Dec. 7, 1890.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., pastor of
the Twenty third street Baptist church,
was greeted this morning by the usual
crowded house in Association Hall.
The sermon was the beginning OF a
new series for December, on the sub
iect "What is Religion 2" The ser,
mon was preceded by the following
review of current events.
The real sensation of the year 1890
is the advent Of the National Farm
ers' Alliance and Industrial Union.
1t is no mushroom growth. 1t is here
to stay. It is the resistless movement
of millions under the expressions OF
centuries, Its motive power is social,
economic, religious and political The
advent of these embattled hosts is the
most pregnant event of this genera
ton. 1t is the beginning of
A REVOLUTION
that will shake this continent and
move the world.
The first time they gathered around
the ballot-box was the 4th day of last
November. They polled between two
and three million votes, elected the
Governors of three States, sent forty
men to Congress and scared the life
out of hundreds they did not send.
What is
THE MORAL MEANING
of this great movement 4?
l. It is the protest of the patient
burden bearers of the world, who
have toiIed through weary years,
struggling beneath the wrongs of
economic and political superstitions.
In America the farmers have literally
become the beasts of burden of the
nation. Their business has been to
feed over IS, COO, 600 people, together
with che hosts of the old world, with
the products Of the years work, AMI

seeders " with our losses.
The question is whether these men,
the freest of the free, the authors of
this country's liberty, shall assert
their rights and obtain justice, or de-
generate into the condition Of tenants
and serfs. The condition of labor in
all other industries have undergone
marvellous development and changes
in the past hundred years. The
farmer works under the same stern
conditions, perishing in the midst of
ooundless prosperity, for others. He
has determined to effect a change in
these conditions, and re adjust himself
on a living basis to the new civiliza-
ton.
