Taking as text the 10Th verse of the
third chapter of Philippians, Rev. W.
III. Thompson, of the Second Methodist
Church, spoke as follows, yesterday
morning: PROXIMITY to the mountain
j. not the test position for one who
wishes TO observe the summit. The
forest ON the sides may obscure his
view. The spirit that has brought us
together IS the commemoration of the
life of Christ. All the events of Chris
tan history center in the fact that
Jesus Christ rose from the dead. This
Is after all the central fact. the apos-
ties at the time OF the rising were too
near II to res I've its full import upon
human history. We are remote from
the event nearly 1900 years, vet we
have an undiminished interest in il.
1t was the rising OF the sun of human
history from behind the clouds. With
an ingenious and frank mind the
search ~ for fact, whether it be IN
philosophy, chemistry, science or re-
lIgon. The stranger the fact dis.
covered the more interest IN IL does the
seeker take, and the more does he try
10 convey his faith to others. II is the
same with spiritual discoveries. We
should seek for proof rather than dis
proof. but into the human mind has
crept the spirit of searching for dis
proof. In regard TO miracles some
minds refuse 10 investigate. They say
it ls an infractiou of law and seem To
think that God is not free agent. The
true idea is that Gods will IS the laW,
and He cannot violate any law.

II is the unchsnxeableness of nature

MINORS CONTRACT BINDING.
Justice wcstfalI Decides an Interesting
Question of Law


An interesting point of law was raised
before Justice Westfall recently in the
case of Burns VS.. Swensberg. Suit
was brought 10y the plaintiff to recover
money paid during minority, for tuition
in the defendants business college.
The plaintiff, after attending college
for some time, dropped out, and upon
arriving at his majority demanded that
his tuition be refunded. About four
years after tins Mr.. Burns brought suit
TO recover damages 10 the amount Of
$500, upon the ground that he was an
infant NJ the time the contract was
made under which he entered school.
The main point at issue was whether
the contract for an education and
business training is one for "neces-
saries," and consequently binding on
the minor, and not a contract that can
be avoided at the option of the plaintiff
upon his attaining full age.
This was question of vital import
ance from the fact that all schools and
colleges arc dealing with minors. A
young man now is supposed to have
completed his education at his majority
and all preparations and necessary con-
tracts are made while the applicant is
yet a MINOR.
Wtde-Reschipg Influence.
A suit like this affects every educa-
iional institution in the country. The
majority of those in attendance are
under age. and are IN circumstances
that necessltate the perfecting Of con-
tracts by themselves personally. The
course contracted for was sir-montbs'

" No, indeed" replied Mrs. Davis. She

fashioned styles of doctoring. When a child
needs pbysic, she fills a spoon with some
nauseous dose, lays the little victim flat on

open his mouth for breath, when down goes
the dreadful mess. Then come the yells."
