one OF these was caught. which was

Getting and Giving.

The difference between the worldly
and the Christian spirit lies right here:
One desires TO get all it can. 1t is ever
saying to others, "Give me" The spirit
of Christ prompts one to the opposite. 1t
is ever seeking to impart its blessings
and benefits TO others. 1t is the outgoing
of desire. 1t never asks, How much can
Iget?' but How little can do with and
how much can l help another?" 1t de-
lights not in accumulation, but in dis
tribution. 1t scatters and divides its
treasures, and so multiplies its pleasures
as it awakens in others lives blessings
like its own.
Our young people learn here the
greater blessing of giving than of re-
ceiving. This is the handspring Of all
missionary effort, hospital and relief
work. 1t gives zest to all efforts to re-
form and convert men.

old lady, widow, whom the captain. with
shocking lack of gallantry, designated
Jezebel. Her force of lung and store of
bad temper were such that none of the
coolies or boatmen could withstand her.
and 1t was only when ascending the rapids
that she would for a time yield her com.

The Folly of Examinations.

The promotion examination is test of
memory rather than of power. 1t may
show some things that the pupil does not
know, but it cannot show what the pupil
does know. 1t destroys and prevents broad
and Intelligent teaching, makes of the
teacher grind and turns out pupils by
machinery. 1t forces pupils to go over far
more work than they can grasp or under
stand, and it causes many to leave school
1t brings senseless worry to the nervous
who often fail TO pass, while the less
worthy succeed. 1t is, moreover, a great
temptation to deceit. 1t demands one
third more time than is necessary to i'm
part the same knowledge and to give bet
ter training. It.puts premium not upon
the work done day by day during the year,
but upon the amount of "stuffing" that
can be done at the end of the term. These
are few of the many reasons why it has
been condemned as moral injustice to
pupils and teachers and as one of the
greatest of educational blunders. j.

Toronto Days.

Thousands of Leaguers have been for
months talking of and planning for the
great conference which occurs this
week at Toronto.
This will probably be the largest
gathering of Methodists ever held. The
place is well selected Probably Toronto
is the most Christian city in the world.
Canadian hospitality is proverbial. The
choice spirits from the three great bod
les of Methodism on the continent will
be there. Three places of meeting have
been chosen and simultaneous meetings
will be held. No one place could hold
the whole body, and if it could no
speaker could be heard to profit in such
an immense assembly. Those who are
privileged to attend will gain new ideas
and inspiration for the work, and on
their return should be able to impart
some of the power to those who staid at
home
Much of the spirit of these great
gatherings is not transferable, however
1t comes only to those who participate
in the scenes and join in the songs. 1t
lives in memory. 1t can be recalled, but
never conveyed to another. For this
reason it is wise to attend when posi-
