in the latter part of '.Adonais,"-
find his last message to life and the
world. a u
Tennyson's latest book possesses an
even greater interest for us from our
present nOint of view. In ''Dementer'
we find the signal elimination OF GER
tain tendencies, which have been for
some time more or less observable IN
Tennyson's later works, and over 1t,
more than over any other of his books,
lies the pathetic glory of a waning, but
beautiful light. The book is so unmis-
takably the book of age-not of ages
weakness-but of that breadth, that
resignation, and that plying tender
ness which age brings to the finer ma
lures only, that there is hardly need
for the poet to tell us
The centuries strong lights have met
Tt drag me down to seVenty-nine.

at least for the present. For children
who live in Christian homes and at
tend Sunday-schOol, the arrangement
is a good one, but it makes no pro-
vision for those less favorably situated.
- There is still another method by
which more may be accomplished than
is possible on Sunday alone. Some
systematic religious instruction may
be, provided during the week. The
first difficulty would be to gain the
time necessary. The best hours of the
day are mOnOpOlized for the public
schools. But if definite and ~satisfac-
tory arrangements for religious in
struction could be made, some of this
might be surrendered. Indeed, we
think there are other reasons for the
surrender of part of this time. Chill
dren spend too many hours Over their
textbooks. Time is needed for manual
training in trades and skilled arts.
We hope the good day is coming, when
the public schools will have single seS-
sions of three or four hours In the
morning, and the rest of the time will
be at the disposal of families and
churches to train children in the
things which are practical, useful and
religious. Some agreement among
Protestants might be reached as to re,
ligious teaching outside the schools, If
time could be assigned for that pur-
pose. Christian unity may yet be
fastened by the necessity of giving
children a better religious education
than the schools can provide, and by
the necessity of preserving the schools
for the secular education of children
from all classes and churches.-An

MAGAZINES.
A SUCCESS.

The magazine which contains the
tales of the famous New York Story
| Club has at once achieved a remarkable
success. The first number was the
number for February, and the full ed1-
ton was sold out before the March
number was issued. The original plans
for the conducting of the magazine
have at once been brOadened, It's num-
Der of pages has been increased, and
for once at least, a magazine has
sprung into full life with it's first num-
Der.
The March number contains twenty
| short stories, all of the character that
| the Story Club was organized to en-
phasize, namely, stories full of action
| stories that really tell something--and
not stories that are in any way morbid
or namby-pamby. The writer's for the
March number are Maurice Thompson.
Rudyard Kipling, Guy de Maupassant,
| Richard York, M. Betham Edwards,
Edith Sessions Upper and other writ
ers of equal force and popularity. The
initial story in this number by the fa-
NOUS California story writer, Mr.. W.
@. Morrow, is oneOf themost dramatic
short stories that has appeared in pop
ular literature since the days of Poe.
The March number of Romance con-
tains several interesting announce
ments. There will appear inthe maya
zine forthwith stories illustrating life
in the California States during the war
full of pathos and of.tragedy.
Arrangements have been made also
for the publication of original stories
of the sea, illustrating American endu-
rance and courage, both in the navy
1 0n1 IN O1Tr TonTsohont r0orInn IN old
days and in recent times.
Tales from COnstantinOple will be
contributed by a foreign member of the
United States Legation, and stories of
American slavery, from the recoll6c-
tions of a stockhOlderin aslave-trading
company.
The price of Romance is only 25 cents
a number, and a specimen number will
be sent on application for 10 cents by
the publisher. Address the New York
Story Club, 30 E. 23d ST., New York.

NOTICE TO THE BRETHREN.

I have just sent to each County Sec
rotary in the State, and to the State
and District Lecturers and Steward,
some copies of President Folks official
plan for organizing a lecture system
which is sent out by the instructions
of the National Legislative Council of
our Order. Be sure those circulars are
carefully read, studied and explained
at your next county meeting. Do all
in your power to see it's requirements
carried out. We must haze a uniform
understanding of our secret work, a
higher appreciation and more thorough
knowledge Of the noble principles of
our Order and unity of action wherever
Our interests are concerned. 1t is i'm
possible for us to have these things
without a thorough system of Iecturjng.
If we follow the "plan" we will soon
have that. Lend your aid and infu-
ence, my brother. Be sure to attend
your county meeting and look after this
all-important matter.
Yours f~raternally,
