of the fact that in the early part of this
century a revival broke out in Somer-

much agitated about it. They said,
"Oh, you are going to bring too many
people into the church at once!" and
they sent down to New Brunswick to
get John Livingston TO stop the revival.
Well, there was no better soul in all
the world than John Livingston. BE
went up; ne looked at the revival. They
wanted him to stop it. He stood in the
pulpit on the Sabbath and looked over
the solemn auditory, and be said:
"This, brethren, is in reality the work
of God. Beware how you try to stop
it." And he was an old man, leaning
heavily on his staff-a very old man.
And he lifted that staff and took hold
of the small end of the staff and began
to let it fall very slowly through be-
tween the finger and the thumb. and he
said, "Oh, thou impenitent, thou art
falling now-falling away from life,
falling away from peace and hesyep,
falling as certainly as that cane is fall

We desire to call attention n second
time TO a few fragrant errors in the use Of
our language. and especially TO warn our
young teachers against such expressions.
They often make an unfavorable impress
sion in regard to the education of the one
using them, that is not wholly deserved,
yet may be injurious to him, by lowering
ehe estimation in which his scholarship is
held, Once before we called attention to
the soul-veXing frequency with which so
many people use Cor misuse) the perfect
participles" of the verbs ''see" and
take" for their "past-tense'' FORMS"
The young man, just returned from Big
Stone Gap. tells me that he taken sup
per at the Intermont; then went out TO
church, where he seen" a friend he had
not saw" for years, and who said he
was coming UP to Gladeville to visit
you and Il" before leaving the county.
The preacher tells us that Jesus taken"
Peter. James, and John, and went up int
a high mountain, and was TRANSPORTED
before them. He also calls our attention
to the important fact that Christ taken"
not on Him the nature Of angels; but
taken" on Him the seed Of Abraham,
that He might die for you and a."
A teacher in one Of our high schools
tells me that he "seen" the county SUI
perintendent last week, and that they
taken dinner together. and that the
superintendent desires to organize and
keep up a monthly meeting of the teach
ers of our county, and, he adds. that he
thinks this would be very profitable for
you and for a." and for all the
teachers
Let us all remember that the past
tense form Of "see" is saw" and that
Of take" is took" The perfect partici-
pie forms. "seen" and taken" must only
be used after the forms of the auxiliaries
"have" and be" BE careful not to use
them TO express indefinite past time"
The above examples also illustrate the
wrong use of the pronoun 81" as the OBJ
ject of a proposition or a verb. Any
school-boy can say: Nominative. 1 pos
sessive, my; objective, me-" Why not
remember this when we talk? But,
