The kindergarten.

The doctrine Of the kindergarten is
broad and unsectarian, and aims to reach
and develop children from three to six
years of age, physically. mentally and
morally. by the Froebel system Of educa-
tion, without any distinction Of race,
nationality or religion.
1t is the natural method, and teaches
children how to work and how to play,
and how to enjoy and love both 1t teaches
them TO find out about things, to use their
eyes, their ears, their hands.
1t takes the child at the most impress
sionable age, when he is forming habits
and character, and places him on higher
and more useful plane Of life. 1t starts
children out In life with promise Of
becoming well-balanced, industrious, law
abiding, self-sustainlng men and women,
a credit to our civilization.
The kindergarten is the paradise of
childhood. 1t takes little children from
destitute and unhealthful homes, waits
from the street and from the slums. and
by devoted care, first attracts them, and
then, by system Of object lessons. de
velops the latent faculties of child nature
The kindergarten teaches the child its
relation to nature and to life. 1t is recog-
nized by the great educators and scholars
Of the world that the kindergarten lays
the right foundation for the future educa-
tion and usefulness of the child. It un-
folds to the young mind the wonders of
the beautiful, the true and the good 1t
teaches the child to understand creation,
and to create and produce for itself and
Others. 1t brings out and quickens the
Unborn sense of right and wrong, fairness
and unfairness, generosity and unset
nshness.
Learn what thing you love best to do.
do it; and then your life work will be all
play.
The kindergarten affords advantages to
both child snd mother.
II associates children with children ia
pure atmosphere, amid pleasant surround
ings and under special guidances during
the years intervening between the nursery
and primary school.
1t affords children proper and natural
enjoyment by teaching them how to play.
by means OF games, songs, toys. and the
many kindergarten devices, all OF which
are the covert vehicles of instruction. The
child Is not only entertained but is taught
how to entertain itself. The kindergarten
child is not half the care II would other
wise be because it knows how and prefers
to amuse itself.
1t carries is influence through the child
10 the home. The teachings of cleanli-
ness, neatness. order, sobriety, Kindness,
generosity, and love often bring about a
new order Of life at the home of the child.
The pretty things created by the child In
the kindergarten reveal to the mother the
possibilities OF child-life, and these little
treasures become bright examples for the
family OF patience and industry. Ii affords
TO mothers, while away earning their sup
port, relief from the care OF the little
ones. without fear for their welfare.

Comment by Rev. $. ii. Doyle.

TofIc.-Our responsibility for others. ICor.
viii, 10, II; Rom. xiv, 10.
No man Hveth to himself in this life.
We are 80 situated that we must come
in contact with one another in such al
way that our lives have an influence for I
good or bad upon all about us. It is only
natural and just, therefore, that we
should be held responsible for our infu-
ence upon others. To the extent that
our lives mold the lives of others we are |
responsible for others.
l. Our responsibility for others is un-
deniable Rom. xiv, 1910. Paul opens
the quotation by saying, Every one Of
US shall give an account of himself toI
Hod." He follows this declaration by}
warning the Romans against wrongI
influence upon weak brethren, thusy
applying this responsibility to God5
In reference to our relations to others.
Responsibility for others is recognized
by human law. Parents are held re-
sponsible for children, and il in anya
way we endanger or damage ouI fellow;
men We are held accountable by thej
laws OF the state. 1t Is also recognized
In divine law. Tho Bible again andl
again warns the strong against an evil
influence upon the weak, because God3
will hold them responsible for this In
huence.
3. The ground Of our responsibility
for others. Cor. viii. II, Through
Thy knowledge shall the weak brother
perish for whom Christ died?" The fact
that Christ died for the weak as we'll as
the strong is the important reason why
we should not offend the weak and the
ground Of our responsibility. If men
are so precious and dear to the Saviour
that He would die for them, this fact
would make Him hold us responsible If
by our influence they perished in spite Of
His death. And what a strong reason
the fact that Christ died for our fellows
should be to make US careful Of our in
fuenoe upon them. If Christ died for
them, shall we not be willing to make
small sacrifices for them? II He died,
can we not abridge our liberty, can
we not forbear this pleasure, can we not
deny ourselves this personal desire,
though lawful for US, if 1t cause our
weaker brother to stumble? We should
love those whom Christ loved and should
do all We can ard be willing to make
any sacrifice necessary to promote their
spiritual and eternal welfare, and we
should also shun everything that VIII
grieve them or lead them to do what it
may be unlawful and sinful for them to
do. Our love for Christ and humanity,
regardless Of our responsibility. should
lead Us TO do all we can for all men.

nAustralia recent letters declare that
there is no tagging in the interest Of the
Christian public in the society. The con-

numbers and overglowiug enthusiasm
as the state conventions Of America,
which were never larger or more full Of
interest and genuine zeal than this fall
wherever they have been held.

| tby profession a sChoolteacher), with rosy
checks, might have been seen tripping
along the slippery sidewalks of Ken

who had got off the car obviously to fol-

TITS very slippery, isn't it?' he puffed
Is he overlook her.
The young woman's eyes flashed, but
che only gave little tug at her scrap Of
dotted face veil, thrust her hands de-
terminedly into her muff and sped on.
A calling card, one Of her own, was
sticking out Of her little jacket pocket,
with only the first two words, Miss
Elizabeth" just visible and the last
name obscured.
The stout man saw it.
Your names Elizabeth, isn't it?' he
said cheerfully. "Do you know you re-
mind me so much Of Lena Morris? She
was an old sweetheart Of mine, and was
awfully fond Of her"

cept a quickening Of her already Nancy

"You might slip and fall. really Won

patrolling the sidewalk and evidently
still intent on pursuit. The drug clerk
subsided, the car came, and on she got,
with the man at her heels. I-c sat down
beside her. When she arrived at her
street corner, he arose and followed her
out Of the car. She had almost reached
her school and was getting brave Again
he walked beside her and asked her if
she wouldn't "say something to him"
Her voice had not a tremor, but was
deliciously clear and steady as she spoke
for the first time.
