TO OUR TEACHERS.

Soon the public school teachers,
and others who pursue teaching as
a life work, viii be in the school
room. It is OF course important
for them to be well up in all the
branches of learning they expect
to teach. For, If the pupil ever
gets the conviction that his teacher
does not know what he is talking
about, the latter's influence from
that moment wanes. Bat, w3ile
this is important, there is another
matter to be remembered. That
is, that in order 10 properly teach
you must impress his whole spirit
with the fact that life has a pur-
pose for him, and that the begin
ming of the realization of that pur-
pose is the honest cultivation and
elevation of toe soul along with
the cultivation and elevation Of
the body and intellect. This is
best done not in lectures but in
living.

II Word to Ill Suffering Wlth
Cancer:
Dear DIR. E. F. Brown: I feel
that | would be ungratetul should
| neglect to write you this letter
tor publication, SO that others may
p1ohc by my experience.
In the fall Of 1891 there came
lump in my lett breast. In April,
1892, my family physician lanced

few days there pushed cut from
the wound a growth which the
doctor pronounced spongy CIR rose

il removed with the KNIFE.
In the fall Of 1894 it returned,
ana | kept II a secret from my
husband until the lump was as
large as small dinner plate. When
| let my husband know it, he told
me we would have TO do some
thing, and | would not submit to
the shock Of the knife again.
In the Florida Christian Advo-
cate l had read OF DR.. E. +. Brown

the knife, and ION the I7th of
March, 1895, l put myself under

thank the dear Lord that [ did so.
for removed the whole affected
mass with as little pam as could be
expected.
When the cancer dropped out 1t
left a raw surface seven inches IN
diameter, and IN SIX weeks it was
all healed. l am able again to do
my house work, am IN good health
and weigh 1914 pounds.
So let me beg ali cancer suffer

TO go to DR.. E. +. Brown for treat
ment. He Is Christian gentle
man and will treat you as kindly
and as attentively as a father.
Yours truly,

RESPON SIBILITY.

"No Ike can be pure IN Its purpose
and strong in ifs strife;
And all life not be purer and
stronger thereby"
Few realize the responsibility of
life, for though we may pass from
the scenes of earth, we leave be-
hind US a never dying influence.
Look at some of the great men,
who, through their writings, still
live; are not the works of Aristotle,
Plato, Socrates, and Shakespeare,
swelling in the countless chambers
of the brain. and forming and
moulding the minds Of the men in
the nineteenth century. Though
they personally sleep in their
silent beds, they have left behind
them a power which is influencing
the lives of the men of today.
History fails to give us the
name of the inventor CT the plow,
which has proved so useful to civil
lizatioD, but it has preserved for
us many others equally great. Is
not Hook, the inventor of the mi
croscope, or William Caxton.
whose name we connect with that
wonderful ait of printing, still liv-
ing in their works which survive
them? When will we cease TO feel
the effect of Martin LutheTs noble
deeds. Do we not hear sounding
down through the ages of time his
hammer, as he nailed the theses
upon the door Of the old church of
Wittenberg. There remains a
third way 10 which nen live after
death. The spoken word, which
is by Us SO soon forgotten. Patrick
HeEry, the greatest American
orator, though dead for nearly a
century, continues TO 1--we 10 many
hearts, by his elcquence which re-
! vealed his wonderful knowledge OF
human nature. The late Nj. Spur.
geon of London, exerts mighty in

other hand Mr.. Ingersol, whose
sayings also are hidden in the
hearts of men and are exertirg (

he had climbed those creaking steps

They were young again. The wind or

once more the vast proportions which

it was hard for him to do this now.
He felt tired SO he sat down on the
bench beneath the copper bells and
listened to their waning resonance.
He thought. About what? Micheich
himself could hardly answer the ques-
ton. His glimmering lantern scarcely
! lit up the belfry. He could not make
out the droning bells. They were lost
in darkness. From the church below
his old ears caught the singing now

than ordinary attraetiyeness, and con-
sidered atrocious slang by the ultra

back to poem of perhaps Americas

about Philadelphia, and the line In

his Judgment Philadelphia's girls We're

meaning can be extracted without the
slightest assistance of the imagination.
