The Text Book orTruth.

Wherever there is school In which
the Bible is not read and consequently
there is no prayer, we have there sys-
tenn of teaching that neutralizes the
morals and religious training of the
home and the church. Parents will
find it safe for their children to follow
the principle enuciated by Luther,
when he said, "Where the Holy Scrip
tues are not the rule I advise no one to
send his child. A school in which the
Teacher who exalteth by his power is
ignored, and his textbook on pure
morality and true life neglected, is an
institution opposed to the Master who
has said, He that is against meand he
that gathereth not with me scattereth
abroad"
In the school where the Bible is
merely read, usually by the teacher
and not studied by the pupils, and
there may or may not be prayer,
there is not sufficient instruction in
righteousness impaired to qualify the
pupil for citizenship. Since all agree
that ethics should be taught in the
common school we need textbook,
and let us have the textbook used as a
text book which the Divine Teacher
designed for that purpose, as well as
for the higher purpose of making US
wise unto salvation. How much
arithmetic will be taught if the teach
er should merely read a page of the
arithmetic to the pupils every day :?
The Author of the Scriptures directs
in Deut. s.: 7 that they should be
taught diligently to our children, and
we know of no instance of their being
used by the Jews or the Apostles
merely as book of devotion.
Since the truths of revlation are
specifically formulated, intelligible,
and impressive, explanations and COM
ments are unnecessary in the common
schools. When these are excluded
sectarianism is scarcely possible. But
where is the teacher in our common
schools swho teaches or would teach
sectarianism, and why are we SO ap'
prehensive?
But there can be no reasonable OBJ
lection to explanations or comments
ON the book of Proverbs, which is so
admirably suited for instruction in So
cial and political economy.-A. w.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
There was a man, II was said one time,
Who went astray in his early prime.

When the blood is a river that is running riot
And boys will be boys, the old folks say.
And mans the better who's had bis day.
The sinner reformed and the preacher told
or the prodigal son who came TO the lold;
And the christian people threw open the door
With warmer welcome than ever before,
And the world strewed their pathway with
flowers aboom,
Crying "God bless lady. and God bless groom" b"
There was q maiden who went astray,
In the golden dawn OF life's young day,
She had more passion and heart than head,
And she followed blindly where fond love LED,
And love unchecked Is a dangerous guide
Toiwander at will at fair girls side.
The woman repented and turned from her sin
But no door was opened 70 let her In;
The preacher prayed that she might be Tor
given,
But told her to look for mercy in heaven.
For this q law OF the land, we know,
That the woman is scorned, while the man
may go.
A brave man welded her, after all,

Truth-telling in its highest ranges is
a very rare accomplishment, because it
requires an uncorrupted judgment and
well-balanced mind, together with u
good deal of courage and unselfishness.
Many people cannot see matter
truly because they are go full of vani.
ties and prejudices and foolish fam
cies. Some cannot utter it truly be-
cause, having very vivid impressions,
it seems to them necessary to convey
those impressions to others by a deal
of amplifying and exaggerating, and
they take refuge in the excuse that no
falsity is impaired since not all they
say is believed. But the effect on the
utterer's character is nevertheless evil.
Principle has been called "a passion
for truth ~ and he who is destitute of
this passion has need to look to it lest
the ugly word "unprincipled" soon
become connected with his name in
the minds of the most discerning.

Nashville Advocate.)

Not many persons begin the religious
life under the dominion of absolutely
simple motives. In most cases there
is likely to be mixture Of higher and
lower feelings. Selfish considerations
may blend themselves unconsciously
with the desire toglorify God. Per
feet singleness of mind is one of the
last and highest fruits of divine grace
in the soul. Let us not, therefore,
Judge those too harshly who seem to
us to be crude and raw i'm belief and
life. BY and by, if they are faithful to
the light given them, they will throw
off whatever contradicts the mind of
Christ. THAT is not first which is
spiritual, but that which Is natural !;
and afterward that which is spiri tual. !"

Long Continued Rains.

We have had an unusual amount OF rain
this summer, and, as result, the crops are
growing more luxuriantly perhaps than IN
any previous year. A larger area has been
planted in corn than usual, and nearly all OF
it is az good as the land will make. In few
instances, where perhaps the land has not
been worked, the corn has lost It's color ou

are not worked. Bottom land has In some IN

A HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Mr.. Spensley and Miss BaShford
MIKE il Il SmnriSe.

A few of the intimate friends of
Mr.. Calvert Frederic Spensley and
Miss Florence BaShford accompanied
the young couple to the station
yesterday afternoon to bid them God
speed on their wedding tour. The
announcement of their marriage was
made yesterday, though they have
been man and wife since Halloween,
October 81, when they We're quietly
welded by Rev. +. j. Baskerville at
Methodist parsonage.
Mr.. Spensley is son of state
Senator Calvert Spensley, of Mineral
Point, aud the bride, stately and
pretty, is a daughter of state Senator
II. NJ, Bashford, of this city, and a
granddaughter Of Ex-Governor Wm. II.
Taylor. Although the young people
had been engaged since last June,
their marriage was not expected to
occur for some time. and for this
reason it came as ~ surprise to the
friends of both. MI Spensley is a
senior in the university and u member
of the Chi Psi fraternity. Miss Bash
ford attended kempnr hall at kcnosha
and was a member Of the class of '97
in the university. She is member of
the Delta Gamma society. Both are
very popular in local social circles, and
they will be at home to their friends in
this city soon after January |
They went on their wedding tour to
Milwaukee, thence to Chicago, and
from there will go to New Orleans,
, where about two weeks will be spent
before they return to Madison, when it
is understood the groom will complete
his course at the university, as many a
married man has done before him.
Cards announcing the marriage will
be sent to friends today. Senator and
Mrs. Bashford will entertain in honor
Of the newly ywedded couple when
they return.
