10 the kind we are now speaking Of is man or
woman who is educated. There are different
things TO be attained necessary 10 become n
scholar The first thing is "time." A person
20 become a scholar must use time On one
occasion Bishop Simpson related that he was
told by his father. when he started ont IN life
that he would be taxed for everything. If he
borrowed money from the government he
would be taxed for IL. If he expected 10 re-
ceive an education he would have to be taxed

thlng II they ever expected to make any
thing.
Another condition Of scholarship is indus

Industrious. he must be willing to 10 ann
thing he comes in contact with
Other conditions are integrity and exact
ness. A person must be precise and exact in

some of the dangers surrounding scholarship. |
Under the head Of the dOgmatic or scientific |
relations Of truth he referred to corruptions /
or bossism at elections and the perversion Of /
the science Of government TO selfish eRds.
The value Of scholarship was touched upon, |
and the masters Of languages held mp |
and pictured for the students benefit. Glad |
stone and Bsaconsheid. two Of the most |
learned scholars of England, were portrayed. |
He dwelt at length upon the training neces- |
sary for the pulpit. There was a dearth Of /
young men for pulpit work. whereas ID /
should be the highest and noblest exhibition |
Of any mans life TO expound the scriptures |
and teach his fellows the way of eternal life |
The doctor held the audience from beginning |
70 the close Of his discourse.
Now that harvest Is on, many farmers dis
cover that wheat Is turning out better than l
was expected. While some fields show the |
effect Of lice and worms others seem TO have |
escaped these pests.
