Children should never be lied TO- Prom
ises should be 'punctiliously kept. IF
time elapses between ofrense and pun
ishment the offenders will forget the
reason of the punishment and will be
filled with resentment and opposition.
Bribery and reward are such preva-
lent and such soul destroying evils. Re
wards, too, are apt to be degrading.
Let us live with our children, then
will the life of our children bring us
peace and joy, then shall we begin to
grow wise. to be wise.
EVENING SESSION
varied program preceded the lee
ture of DR.. Day, and one of the numbers
worthy of special note was the recita-
tion from Ben Hur, entitled The Angel
and the Shepherds, by Miss Mae Rus
sell. Rev. Marion F. Day was intro
duced and gave his famous lecture be-
fore crowded house on the Land OF the
Midnight Sun.
The lecturer said in opening that what
he related came from personal expert
ences and observation on his trip to
the land known as the land of the mid
night sun. On the platform large map
served the purpose of informing the
audience. of the points of the compass
and the route taken by the party. The
land which goes by the name of the
Land of the Midnight Sun is that por-
and east coast. Having London as
starting point, the town of Bergen, the
home of the great violinist, Ole Bull, was
the first stopping point, and peculiar
jty about this town was the fac. that in
none of the music stores were any violins
exposed to view, for what cause the
speaker did not relate. The little yes
sci which bore the party after leaving
Bergen steamed up the coast, vending its
way among little islands, now shooting
by the base of scarped cliffs, which the
lecturer describes very vividly, until the
village of Aalsun is reached. This is
near the place where the cod fisheries
are located, which employ, during the
three months in the year when Goldfish
are caught, over 10000 men, who catch
between 30,000.000 and 100000 of the
fish.
This is the home Of the elder duck
which abounds in great quantities. One
little village which was mentioned re-
ceived their bread from foreign parts.
which consisted of a sort of sea biscuit
packed in coffins. These collins are used
to bury the dead, and the earth which
serves as ballast for the ship serves also
to cover the collins, for there is no dirt
there, all is rock. The cows there are
fed on seaweed and fishes and seem to
thrive on the diet. The towns of Made
and TrOndhjen were the next points of
interest. The animal and vegetable life
were described. The distinguishing fea-
ture of this town Is the fact that the
coronation of the kings and queens Of
Norway take place In its large cathe-
dral. One of the most brilliant bits of
word painting in the lecture was the de-
scription of the falls of Lefas. The pc
culiar color of the rocks at the town of
Torghattu and formation make this a
point of interest. Svartisea, the home
of beautiful lakes and huge glaciers at
the foot of towering mountains; the
Lofoden islands, where the, mythical
maelstrom was supposed to exist, and
the wonderful contrast in color among
the rocks; TromsOe, town whose chief
interest to the visitor was the variety of
furs and the down of the elder duck, to-
gether with the natural scenery, were
points elaborately described. An inter-
esting feature at this point was the
lecturers account of his visit to lap
landers' village and talks among the
plain folks.
At Lyngenfjord the enormous and pre-
cipitous rising of the cliffs from depth
of 1000 feet under the water to 5000 feet
In the air from the surface of the water:
the reaching of two islands on the far
ther side of which the party caught their
first glimpse of the midnight shining in
the north over the horizon, were both
moments of intense interest. 1.-The boat

The wierd blowing of the wind among
the crevices in the rock served to but
heighten the wierdness of this occasion.

the clouds thickened each moment

shouted the captain, and We had seen the
midnight sun, after our voyage of thous-
ands of miles. Ten seconds after the
great black clouds had shut it from our
vision, but we did not care then" Such
was the speakers description of his
first sight of the midnight sum- Other
incidents and happenings and the sec
ond view of the midnight sun were de-
scribed before the lecture was complet-
ed, which were listened to attentively.
and when the last words fell from the
speakers lips and the last graphic word
picture had been painted the audience
burst into applause.
