sion steamer on the Upper Congo, ran

gland has raised and expended over

ing, ETC., during the twenty-five years

To elevate above the spirit of the
age must be regarded as the end Of edu-
cation, and this must stand clearly de-
veloped before us ere we mark out the
appointed road. The child is not to be
educated for the present; for this is
done without our aid, increasingly and
powerfully; but for the remote future,
and often in opposition to the immedi-
ate futurc.-Jean Paul Richter.
The London Spectator reports that
in the city of Liverpool not less than
twenty-five gentlemen and five ladies

lex influence over European thought.

430 members. Their Chinese work en-
braces IS schools, 33 teachers and 1910

The clergyman of all work spoke
thus: 'It is not an easy life that have,
with writing sermons and preaching
them, looking after the deacons and the
church work, visiting the sick and con-
Quoting services at funerals, watching
the Sunday-schools and holding prayer
meetings. listening to the woes of dis
tressed sisters, doing charitable work
among the poor and in societies, keep
ing an eye on the church treasury,
guarding the brethren against going
astray, and seeing to it that l myself
walk steadily in the narrow way, SO
that may not forfeit the good opinion
of my flock. Some people think that
clergymen have an easy life, but have
to work like blacksmith all the time"

THE refusal Or neglect of Congress to
provide adequately, if not generously,
for the wants of the life-saving-se
can not be excused upon the ground
that its work is experimental. Taking
the record of it's accomplishments dur
ing single year-1ss9-it proves that
the value of the service far outweighs
its cost. The saving in a twelve-month
of nearly $500 lives is worth more than
$1,000, 900, if such precious saving can
be estimated at all. If it is not worth
that, then certainly the value of the
property saved, SIS: 100000, is worth the
Sl.oOO,C COO invested; it leaves a margin
of gain equal to nearly 500 per cent.

THERE is need of more thorough
moral enforcement of the command
mcnt, Thou shalt not steal" Young
men should be made to understand that
they have no right to take without
leave what does not belong to them
for their own uses, even though they
seriously and conscientiously determine
to return it to the owner. That is en-
bezzlement, and the return of the "bor-
rowed" money or thing does not change
the name of the misdemeanor. 1t is
we'll to remember that dishonesty and
crime are the same, whether one gets
caught or not. and regardless of resolu-
tions for future restitution.
