The Boy Preacher Era.


Another boy preacher has sprung MP
down in Georgia. He is Is years old
and draws great throngs to hear him.
Oh, well, there's nothing remarka Die
or unusual about this kind Of preach
ing. We have heard men of 60 years
old preach sermons that boy of IL
might have written. But we never
thought 1t was powerful preaching. II
was calming. tranquilizing, sedative in
its effect and fellow with q con-
venient post to lean his head against
could enjoy it until the congregation.
rising to sing the closing hymn. brought
him to present wakefulness once more.
Thirteen-year-old preachers are an out
growth of this century. The great
Teacher didn't think himself prepared
to preach until he was u man of 80
years, but then. that WAS nearly 1900
years ago. You take boy with the
advantages of common school edu-
cation now, and he is fully qualified to
make hop. skip and II jump right in
to places that would scare the halo of
an angels head. By all means let the
13-year-old boy keep on preaching.
But II we were his mother. which is
impossible. we'd see that he ate his
porridge earlier than usual Sunday
evening. that he might close his service
in time to be in bed by half past eight,
any how. This is the era Of boy" A

The name Of Florence Nightingale has
been familiar to two generations and
will continue TO hold high place in
history through the services she rendered
to suffering men. Miss Nightingale was
called "Thc Angel Of the Crimea" by
the grateful British soldiers who owed
so much to her ior her splendid work
during the war with Russia A few
weeks ago, on the occasion of her seven
ticth birthday, all England rang with her
praises. The Prince Of Wales delivered
culogy of her at the training school
for nurses which she had founded in
London and Queen Victoria sent her IL
letter Of congratulatiou by special mes
scngcr. But that day was one of grief
for her, for the telegraph had brought
the news Of her sisters death Miss
Nightingale was the daughter OF an Eng
lish country gentleman, and was born IN
Florence, Italy, while the family werr
on continental tour. While mere
girl she developed the benevolent dis
position which has since made her fam
nus. She nurscd Arabs in Egypt, spen'
much OF her time in the London hospitals,
and finally resolved to devote herself On
tircly 10 hospital work. She became II
pupil at German hospital and went
through u regular course of training.

Some years ago, when travelling through
Palestine. We Were nearly beuighted. We
had left Hebron in the morning, and had
come leisurcly along passing through Bcthlr-
hem, and visiting the gardens of solomon on
the way. The sun began TO get low ere We
caught our first glimpscs Of Jerusalem, and
on reaching the plain Of Rcphaim We had to
increase our speed. In liltle the sun set,
and we saw man come out from the Jana
gate and stand upon small hillock, shout
ing with all his might, ns IL forcwarning OF
danger, and gcsticulating wildly, ns II to call
our attention to what he was announcing.
"What is the man sayingP We asked our
guide.
''lIe Is shouting, 'Yellah Ycllah""
"What does that mcanT'
Come along! Come along"
We now found that we wcrr about 10 be
shut ont and this messenger had come out 10
warn us that the gate was about 10 be closed
We made haste, as We did not at all relish
the thought ~ being kept all night outside
the walls. We were just in time; no more.
We entered, and the gate closed behind us.

The lesson we learned was "Make haste! :"
