CONVENTION REsoLuTIoNs.

CONVENTION RESOLUTIONS,
The committee on resolutions ap-
pointed by the Phillips County Sun
day School Association in session at
Logan, Kansas, October IA and Is,
1896, report the following:
Let Resolved, That we ascribe al.
Grafton to God for the benediction be-
slowed upon us, in our Sunday school
work in this county and throughout
the world.
End We recommend to all teach
ers more systematic and thorough
preparation Of the Sunday School
lesson.
3D. We believe that the time has
come when we should have a more
perfect and systematic graduation in
our schools.
4th We must not lose sight OF the
fact that the Sunday school la not
meant to supplant the church, and
therefore the pupils should not be al
lowed TO absent themselves from the
regular church worship, which is the
great means ordained OF God for the
salvation of the world,
9th We recommend having in each
school one class whose members shall
hold themselves in readiness to teach.
9th We would encourage all ef-
forts toward church union as far as
possible.
9TH We feel it our duty to make a
bold fight to exterminate the course
OF intempersnce, and will resist every
effort toward resubmission.
9Th We request Brother Bowen
and Mrs. Pomeroy to furnish their
essays to our secretary for publication
in one Of the county papers.
9th We tender our sincere thanks
to the people Of Logan for their kind
entertainment during this convention,
to the people Of the NJ D. church for
the use Of their building, to the Poly
minis Glee Club for their excellent
music, and to the officers for their
faithful work.

Our next convention will be held at
Agra. While grand convention has
just been held, let us work for the I'M.
provement of the next by beginning
now. Each trying to make his own
school better.
While we missed Brother Drake we
had with us Brother Engle, our new
state secretary, who gave us some
very helpful talks and spoke en-
couragingly Of our work.
All expressed themselves as being
so well entertained both mentally and
bodily, they were lost to return home.
Enough cannot be said in praise Of
the Logan people in the way of hospl-
tally, and all who visit the beautiful
city want to go again,

ROUND. ROSY FACES.

Laughing eyes, frames full of vigor
and elasticity, are blessings attainable
by the cadayerous, the haggard nd the
dyspeptic, who try that wisest of eN-
pserimen ts-an experiment whose hap
py outcome lis testified TO by myriads--
viz. a course of Hostetter's Stomach
Bittefs, promptly begun and steadily
pursued. There is no tonic comparable
TO 1T i'm efficacy, none more agdreeable
and speedily beneficial. The nervous
and dyspeptic, suffering from malaria,
rheumatism, constipation, bilousness
and kidney troubles are rapidly aided
by the Bitters, and it is one of the best
means of counteracting the effects of
excessive bodily or mental fatigue, and
exposure in wet or inclement weather.
Persons of a sedentary habits find 1t
a most useful reyiviffer and recupera-
tor of exhausted energy. Use it in or
der to sleep well, eat heartily and di-
gest thoroughly Physicians every
where speak in high terms of it.

trace to my mother : direct influence
three leading motives of her Youngest
sons ife-the love Of personal liberty,
OF religions freedom and Of the equality
of the sexes-writes Thomas Wentworth
Higginson in The Ladies Home Jonr-
nal. As 10 the more subtle and intimate
influences, they ordinarily came by con-
tact, not by preaching. She always
maintained that the younger children OF
a large family had a much better chance
for development than the elder because
they had more freedom to develop them
selves. With her elder children, she al.
ways said, overconscientiousness almost
bore her to the earth She felt person
ally responsible for every childish fault
She had been reared in the school Of
Locke. which regarded the human soul
as blank paper. or which parents and
teachers did all the writing. But her
children We're of strong and varied indi-
vidualify, and she learned III time TO
study the temperament of each and be
patient with its unfolding. Her whole
formula of training consisted in these
three things: TO retain the entire conf
dence Of the child, TO do whatever seem
ed wisest and to be patient. Her trust
in Providence was absolute and control
ling, as was her sense of the personality
of the Deity.
Most valuable Of all her traits to her
children next TO her quality Of sunshine
was probably her absolute rectitude, the
elevation of her whole tone, the COM
plete unworldliness, so that no child of
hers ever heard her refer to amy stand
ard bat the highest. With all this was
combined the conscientious accuracy in
affairs, the exquisite nicely in all house

Of the traditions of New England.

Affirmation, pure and simple, with
out reasoning and without proof, is one
of the surest means of planting an idea
in the popular mind. The more concise
il is, the more free from every appear
ance of proofs and demonstration, the
more authority it has The religious
books and the codes of all ages have al
ways proceeded by simple affirmation.
Statesmen called upon to defend any
political cause and manufacturers adj
vertising their goods know what it is
worth Yet it has no real influence, ex-
cept it is constantly repeated and so
far as possible in the same terms. Ma
poleon said that repetition was the only
serious figure in rhetoric BY repetition
an affirmation is incrusted in the minds
of hearers till they at last accept it as a
demonstrated truth. What is called the
current of opinion is formed, and then
the potent mechanism of contagion
comes in. Ideas that have reached a GER
tain stage, in fact, possess a contagious
power as intense as that of microbes.
Not fear and courage only are contagi-
Gus. Ideas are, too, on condition that
they are repeated often enough.
When the mechanism of contagion
has begun TO work, the idea enters upon
the phase that leads TO success. Opin-
ion, which repealed it at first. ends by
tolerating aud then accepting it. The
idea henceforward gains a penetrating
and subtle force which sends it onward,
while at the same time creating a sort
of special atmosphere, a general way of
thinking. Popular Science Monthly.

these great sums, making together

OAK aud Pine.

Theoretically speaking, the oak is the
wood which can be put to the greatest
variety of uses, but, as matter Of fact,
the pine is most used on account of its
abundance. The timber of the oak, which
combines in itself the essential elements
of strength and durability, hardness and
elasticity in degree which no other
tree can boast, has been used as ma
terial for shipbuilding since the time of
King Alfred. 1t is also employed IN
architecture, cabinet making, carving,
mill work. coopering and thousand
and one other ways, while the bark is
of great value as furnishing tan and
yielding q bitter extract in continual de-
mand for medicinal purposes.
The timber of the pine is also used in
house and ship carpentry. Common tur-
pentine is extracted from it, and much
tar, pitch, resin and lampblack Splint-
eTs of the resinous roots serve the High
landers instead of candles. Fishermen
make ropes of the inner bark which the
Kamchatdales and Laplanders steep in
water and utilize for making a coarse
kind Of bread
The oil obtained from the shoots Of
the dwarf pine is kind Of universal
medicine among the peasants of Hun
gary, while the soft grained silver fir is
in much requisition for the sounding
boards of musical instruments, and the
Germans employ it almost exclusively
in their vast toy factories. In the manu-
facture of lucifer matches, and, above
all, paper pulp, thousands and tens Of
thousands of acres Of pine forests are
cut down every year, and the timber,
constituting the chief material Of Eng
lish and American builders, is more
used than all other kinds Of wood put
together. London Timber.

Ooe az the Three.

A bold aud fearless statement was
made in this columnSa few days ago
touching beauty. 1t was put forth that
there were only three actresses on earth
who could lay an honest claim to beauty.
"Clara NJ. writes that her curiosity
has been aroused and wants to know
who the three are. Now, il would be
very ungallant TO say. The statement
has all the actresses in the world guess
ing, and until the names Of the three
are mentioned each of our footlight
