"A Southern Summer School,"

"ASouthern Summer School,"
Another college year, to which we
looked forward with anticipation
few months ago, will soon be gone.
However zealously the individual
student has performed the, required
duties of the curriculum, or those
which have been voluntarily as.
sumed, it is with a sense of relief
that the end of the summer term is
reached. And yet to the true student
the sum mer weeks do not mean an
entire divorce from intellectual eff
fort, but rather change from the
accustomed channel of thought of
the college year. The vacation has
ceased to be given wholly recrea-
ton and the search for pleasure
The multiplication of summer gath
ering8 for special study and investi-
cation of religious, social and kim
dred problems attract many a stu
dent who desires the vacation to be
not only restful but profitable as
well.
Among college students, none is
more widely known, or has greater
attractions than the conference at
Mortified, Mass, where for six
years, between four and five humid
red students, representing every
section of the United States, the Ca
madam Provinces, and many foreign
countries, have met for two weeks
of Bible study, rest and recreation.
Its remarkable success led to the es-
Enlistment of similar school at
Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, two years
ago, and here representatives OF
many Western institutions have en-
joyed the advantages which come
only from the association with men
of recognized ability as instruc ors,
and from the personal contact OF
man with man. In response to a
strong demand on the part southern
students, the present year will see
the Inauguration of a conference OF
like character, which will be held
on the grounds of the State Univer-
i'y orTennessee, at Knoxville. The
The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1892-05-11

following dates have been chosen,
which will make possible the at
tendance of students with little if
any interference with other plans
for vacajiott Knoxville, June 1929;
Lake Geneva, June % to July 6;
Mortified, July 2-l3.
The general features which have
made Mortified SO attractive in the
past will be observed at each of the
three gatherings. Prominent
speakers, representing all lines of
Christian activity, have already
been secured and others are yet to
be announced. Provision has been
made for the supervision of the ath-
letics, which insures the usual in
terest in this department. The BIZ
ble-classes are to be in charge of I'M
usually strong men as leaders, and
the missionary interest will receive
equally prominent attention.
Better locations than those select
ed could scarcely have been found
for the gatherings. The southern
students will find the buildings and
grounds of the Tennessee State
University admirably adapted to
the purposes of conference, they can
hardly fail to be attracted by such
speakers as Rev. r. A. TORY, Of
Chicago; DR.. John A. Broadus, OF
Louisville; Rev. John William
Jones, of Richmond; Prof J. Henry
Smith, of Davidson College; DR.
Frank X. Sanders, of Yale Univer.
sity; Prof. Frank Smith, of Univer
sity of Virginia: DR.. w. Il. Lambeth
of Japan, and others yet to be an
nounced. Prof. w. w. Moore, 81
popular at Mortified. will be warm
ly welcomed by every student in at
tendance. We are also assured o
the attendance of l.. ID. Wishard
the first college secretary, who ha
just returned from his long foreign
journey in investigating the studen
bodies of other countries.
With such Bible-class leaders a
Mr.. Edwin F, See, of Brooklyn, an,
! Gilbert A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania
and Mr., P. c. Phillips, of Louisville
in charge of athletics, a successful
conference can but result.
All southern students, and other
to whom this gathering is accessi
BILE, should consider seriously, tn
great opportunities here presente,
before forming definite plans for TIL
vacation. The advantages of meet

Paying for the Privilege.

Bishop Cox, in his lecture at the Y
NJ. c, A. in Buffalo, according to the
Courier of that city, told this story ~
"When I was rector Of q church IL
Baltimore I used to see dear old lady
in the gard of Quaker very often ir
the congregation of the church. One
Of the wardens said to me, Mrs.
is a great friend of yours
II am glad to hear it," 1 said.
"'Yes, said the warden she said tc
me, Il love to hear your pastor preach
but should like him SO much better
if he did not receive money for it,
"'But,' said the warden, he pays
$4,000 a year for the privilege o.
preaching to u.s.
"'Does he, indeed and how so?
asked the old lady.
We'll, we both were educated al
the same time, we are about of an age
and I earn $25, 900 year at my profes
sion, while he only receives S., ,000.'
II tell thee,' said the dear ole
Quaker, Il shall always hear hin
hereafter with great deal more pleas

Why we Need Two Ears.

Sound travels by waves, radiating
from u central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when a stone is
thrown into still water. So far as tho
hearing of each individual is coneernt &
ed these waves move in direct line
from the cause of the distul bance to
the ear. This being the case, the inn
pact is greater in the ear nearest the
sound. Now, a person who has total
ly lost the hearing of one eur cannot
locate the direction Of q noise to save
his life. even when the center of dis.
turbance is quite near. Blind persons
learn to estimate distances in surpris.
ingly brief period after losing their
sight, but experts on diseases of the
ear say that persons who are wholly
deaf in one ear can never learn the di-
rection from which q sound comes.

II is wonderful how the Christian re-
ligion has enlarged and enriched, not
only human experience, but also hui
man language. 1t has introduced new
words and new conceptions of things,
and given higher meaning to old
words and old ideas. Its new wine
has been poured into new bottles, and
in many cases it has changed the
water of mere earthly language into
the wine of heavenly speech. By the

To Change Their Names

Everybody is aware of the rather fit
and miss way that we have of spelling
the names of cities, livers, and even
countries. To secure uniformity and
brevity, a government board was
appointed by President Harrison
ABOUT three years ago, charged with
the task of finding out the correct
pronunciation of all geographical
names, and of fixing upon a standard
spelling for them. At the head of the
board is Professor T.. G. Mendenhall,
who Is Superintendent of the United;
States Coast Survey So far about two
thousand changes have been made.
most of them in the line of brevity.
and all with the endeavor to to secure
greater fidelity of the spelling to the:
correctly spoken name.
Among the most important changes
are Bering for Behring, Chile for
Chilli, Haiti for Haytl, Colombia for
Columbia South Amerfea) Bermuda
for Bermudas, the use OF boro for
borough in all names ending thus,
the dropping Of the h from Pittsburgh.
edinburgh, and all similar names, the
omission of the words ''city,, and
town" as part of names wherever
practicable, and the contracting of
many tWo-part names into single
words. :;
Or course the authority Of this board
extends only to the Postal Guide and
all other> official publications of the
national government but it Is certain
to effect, within few years, desirable
changes in the use of the names in
newspapers, in books, and all other
publlcations.-Harper's Young People,:

The Experience OF Merch"nt-The
Lord was His Helper.

A merchant in New York had pledg
ed to the Lord a certain portion of his
business receipts as fast as they were
collected. He called this the Lords
insurance money. "For," said he, ''so
long as I give, SO long will the Lord
help and bless me, and in some way
will give me the means to give. tits 8
blessing to my heart to keep it open in
gratitude; pleasing to dispose of it to
gIadden other hearts, and the surest
way to keep the Lords favor with
me-"
The results of his experience were
blessed, indeed as he said: 81 never
realized before how He helps me in all
my business plans. Things happen
daily which show me that some one
who knows more than I is protecting
me. Bad debts have been paid that ]
did not expect. Errand boys just get
ting into sly and bad habits have been
discovered ere their thefts had proceed
ed far. As I needed competent help
in my business, it has come just as il
was wanted.
"Wheu customers were about to fail
somehow their debts to ME were paid
although they failed to pay others.
"a severe fire came to my office and
seemed to have swept all my valuables
away. But it was stopped at just the
right moment, and not one thing val
liable was lost. The insurance COM
panies paid me enough to replace every
damage, and the office was renewed
better than before. The Lord sends
me business enough to pay my debts
while others are dull.
~ cannot tell why it is, except that
1 always pray for my business, and
ask the Lord to bless it for the good o.
others, and that the means which
come from it may be used for His
cause. r.

"DOn't ScOId Me-.
From the N. Y. Evangelist.

We mothers often speak in, harsh
tones of reprimand sometimes we are
nervous and fretful pitch our
voices on high key, very unpleasant
to hear. And we often speak in an
exaggerated way of our children's
faults. "You are the very worst child
I ever sawW ~ never knew boy 80
noisy and disagreeable as you are %
"You tease me so much that I am
only happy end quiet when you are
out of my sight"
Tile manner and the tone of voice
these words are said in provoke child
to anger very quickly. Children get
irritated and discouraged much more
than we think, when they are contin-
ualIy being found fault with. It is
much better to give reprimands in a
pleasant tone of voice, and with q
smile even on the face of reproof.
Don't, Tommy, don't do that"
said a mother. "You know it makes
my head ache"
"Does it make your head ache,
mother ?" asked the child curiously.

nestly at his mother, as if something
more was in his thoughts.

encouragingly.

"And then III stop. But don't

Mrs. Loyn's heart was touched.
She caught her breath and bent her
head down. to conceal its expression,
until it rested on the silken hair of her
child. "Be good boy, Tommy, and
mother will never scold you any
more" she murmured gently in his
ears.
His arms stole upwards. and as they
were twined closely about her neck he,
pressed his lips tightly against her
cheek, thus sealing his part of the
contract with akiss.
How sweet to a mothers taste were
these first.fruits of self.con troll! In
the effort to govern herself, what
power bad she acquired! Only first
fruits were these. In all her afterdays
did that mother strive with herself ere
she entered into contest with the
inherited evils of her children. And
just so far as she was able to overcome
evil in herself, did she overcome evil
In them. Often, very often, did she
fall back into the old state, and often,
very often, was self-resistance only a
slight effort, but the feeble influence
for good that flowed from her words or
actions whenever this was so, warned
her of error and prompted more
vigorous selfcontrol. Need it be said
that she had an abundant reward T?

Little Things.

b T. = /.
Warmth is essential to all bodily
functions. Therefore, an equal bodily
temperature should be maintained by
exercise, by clothing or by fire.
The fluid of our bodies is to the solid
IN proportion as nine to one. There.
fore, like proportion should prevail
In the total amount of food taken.
Light exercises an important infiu-
ence upon the growth and vigor of an
imals and plants. Therefore, our dwell
| lings should freely admit the solar rays.
Late hours and anxious pursuits ex-
haust the nervous system and produce
disease and premature death. There
fore, the hours of labor and study
should be short.
Decomposing animal and vegetable
substances yield various noxious gases
which enter the lungs and corrupt the
blood. Therefore all impurities should
be kept away from our bodies, and
every precaution be observed to secure
a pure atmosphere.
Moderation in eating and drinking,
short hours of labor and study, regular

cleanliness, equanimity of temper and
equality of temperature-these are the
great essentials to that which surpasses
all wealth, health of mind and body
Pure atmospheric air is composed Of
nitrogen, oxygen and very small pro-
portion of carbonic acid gas. Air once
