on THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST
Rev. Geo. ID. Herron's Sermon at the
Congregat ional Church.

Congregat iOnal Church.
Rev. DR.. George ID. II Herron OF Iowa, who
is to lecture at the First Congregational
Church tonight on The social nature OF
the religion of Jesus" occupied the pulpit
OF tfIat church last night.
1t was more OF an address upon the
beauties in the character of Christ as
man than a sermon, strictly speaking. He
pointed out that the Saviour's life was
spent with the poor and lowly that His ex-
position of His religious principles was
against the law and the church of that
time, and of the excessive fortitude with
which He bore His sufferngs for the faith
that was in Him, claiming also that He
died of disappointment and broken heart.
Evidence was given of a profound study
OF the personal side of the Redeemer' s
character.
The lecture tonight will be under the
auspices of the Congregational Club.

book for the answer herself should not be
allowed to stay as teacher-if the teacher is
not herself a student she cannot be teach
er. Mr.. Sheldon is not in favor of eXpen-
sive apparatus; good teacher can teach
without it; poor teacher knows not how to
use it. A chart, a dictionary, library as
large as convenient warm room and an
interested and competent teacher are the
requisites, and the apparatus might fill the
building, yet without these the school
would be a failure. 1t teacher fails to
keep order everyone knows 1t; If the school
is a failure in everything except order it
may be year before anyone finds it out
Intelligent cooperation of parent and teach
er is the third great requisite. Each should
understand the ideas and the work of the
other; regularity in attendance could then
be secured-without it all school work must
fail-with it even the dullest must realize
and learn more or less. Finally, healthy
interest must exist throughout the district.
Following the discussion of Mr.. Sheldon's
paper, the question box was taken up, j.
N. Mcbride, of Burton, taking charge. A
number of questions were presented, but
those on the printed program were all that
time was found to consider. On the good
road question many sided discussion re-
suited. N. X. Potter, of Burns, said the
roads seemed to bother the city people more
than those in the country, and they were
constantly prodding the farmers. He had
driven over the roads many times without
difficulty until he struck the city of Owosso,
when he was compelled to plow through
mud. City people do not know how to
work the road. A plan had been presented
to appoint road commissioners and he
thought the result would be: Three men in
township, 16 townships; As men. $2 day,
six days in week and six months in
year; the drift of it would be to make the
farmers pay salaries for As more men and
haye less accomplished than is at present.
Amos Parmenter thought the townships

he will be called thief. Yet they go and
drink. You should pursue the same course
in that, only with tenfold more vigor. Day
after day the teacher explains the meaning
Of fraction, so day after day should the
lesson of temperance be impressed by the
mother. The new woman tells of other
defenses. AS woman of the present will
tell another: You have girls-pretty, kind
and loving-who finally become women
see that he who would marry her comes not
from the saloon or the gambling room; say
nay to him and teach the daughter not to
| accept him as suitor. This power is bet
ter than franchise. We have rights and
duties as many as we are entitled
to-with more of mans prerogatives, we
must assume their duties. If the days of
war, civil or international, come; if the ter
rible clouds of war hang over the land, would
the new woman march shoulder to shoulder
with the man; would or could she endure
the privations of camp and field? The
world is full of noble men and women and
each have their sphere and can do nobly
and live nobly without the added and un-
necessary work which the new woman idea
presents.
Supt. ii. e. Sheldon, of Corunna, upon
the subject, "Our Country Schools" read a
paper that contained some of the most valu-
able points made during the institute, and
ones that should interest everyone. This
subject, he said, was one of Importance to
all, and while it had taken time for the peo-
pie of the country to realize that it was
their duty to take the burdens for the bene-
fit of the next generation, yet most parents
would retrench elsewhere than in the
schools. A good school is a good school
anywhere, but the country has the advan-
tage in many ways-the associations are
better on the way to schools; the many evils
of the city are not met; especially at pres
ent is the country lad free from the deadly
cigarette; tobacco in any form If constantly
used will make poor schools, and seldom is
good scholar tobacco user. The great
est and best men have come from the
country schools. Garfed's school was on
log, on one end of which he sat, while his
teacher, Mark Hopkins, sat on the other.
A good school is impossible without good
teacher. The teacher that works from Q
until and calls her work done Is not a
good one, and it is far better to have good
teacher few months in the year and close
the school the rest of the time, than to have
poor teacher the year round. Too often
the young scholars are given an ordinary,
poor teacher, while the larger pupils have
the good .one. This should be reversed II
the poor or cheaper is to be employed at all.
While young the children get that love of

best incentive through life and make of
them scholars as long as life lasts, while
poor training will soon tire them of school
life. A teacher who scolds pupil for not
answering question and has to look In the

FLED FROM THE CRUISER.
The Three Friends Fired on by Spanish
War Ship.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June 4.-The steamer
Three Friends, which left this port on May
23 with heavy cargo Of arms and ammun1-
tion and 100 men for Cuba, returned Vester-
day morning after successful and exciting
trip under direction Of Captain n. B. Brow
ard. She landed every man and every car
fridge into the hands Of strong band OF IN
surgents In Santa Clara province, on the
south side of the island.
On Thursday, May %, when dawn 6roEe,
Captain Broward saw behind him. hull upon
the horizon, one of the Spanish cruisers.
They spied each other about the same time,
for as soon as the Three Friends qrickened
speed, the cruiser also did so. There was q
flash from her bow gun which brought 100
scared men to the deck Of the Three Friecds,
but the missile fell short.
It was race then for llfe Captain BROW
ard knew that the breaking OF pin would
mean death for him and all his men, and 80
he put on steam gently, but finally found 1t
necessary to make his stokers work franti-
cally to outrun the Spaniard. Shot after
shot was fred by the cruiser, until out OF
pure evaporation Captain Broward had
twelve-pounder loaded and spoke back. =,
The gunboat perceptibly slackened speed
and by noon the miiitarytop of the Spaniardi
was below the horizon astern. The rest OF
the voyage was plain sailing, tho cargo De-
ing landed in covered bay at night.
