No duty is greater, and no influence
more powerful than that of mother. No
parent wants a deformed child in body;
we want them fair in body. So we should
want no spiritually deformed children
either; so we must train them for God
and His glory. The parent must esteem
the heart above the mind; and the par
ents who resolve to train their child Ill

and neglects the heart, neglects to train
for God, does that child a great injury.
Shun that person who says Educate
your child and attend to his religion later
on" for God says Seek We first the
kingdom of God" The time will come
when the child must go from under the
parental roof, and we need to have them
so trained that they shall be then under
the guidance of God. The speaker plead
earnestly and eloquently for Christian
education in the home, in the Sunday

woven into every incident, every nara

The Kaiser Does Not Love Us.

from lDS SAFEondut-l
The German Emperor has a private press
clipping bureau, which receives two news
papers from Washington, two from Chi
cago and three from New York. The bu
reau is Conducted with discretion under the
supervision OF Chancellor Prince Hohen
Iohe. Up to week or two ago it kept
from the Emperor's eye all the caustic
paragraphs so femiliar to Americans con
cerning william the Little, :" William t he
Highflyer," and so on. But when he talk
OF Gen. " oodfoIdfs so-ealled ultiHatum was
filling the diplomatic air, and when every
day brought its natch of contra dictory re-
ports as to the intentions OF the Washing
ten government, the young Emperor sui
denly concluded that he would like 10 learn
for himself the temper of the American peo
pie. He ordered that the American news
papers be sent directly to him. After three
warm hours with a weeks mail OF seven

Co-aducation.

A little bit Of 4 newspaper down in
Georgia is making a gallant fight under
some difficulties against the admission
OF girls to the State University. 1t has
used all the argument it lad against
co-educatiou and darllly limited that it
could use some more if it did not know
what was proper. 1t has asked, with
great rhetorical periods, If the boys are
to hc held back in their studies that the
gi~ls mag keep VI with them, and if not,
how arc the girls to rake the studies? It
has inquired if the various female semi
naries in the State are not good enough
for the girls. It has asked questions,
and made excIamatlons, and threatened
things, anc SO on. with great liyeiiness,
for several months. and the question does
not yet appear to be settled.
But as last gun, a most telling blow
to the horrible idea Of co-education. It is
branded as Northern innovation. CT
course, this plan has been tried in Northern
schools, and i'll Western schools, often be-
cause there was not money enough for sep
arate academies or colleges, and by combin-
ing the two departments under one head,
just double the advantages could be secured
for both girls and boys. On the whole, the
