ArHE BIG PICNIC.
Buckeye Park 3 the soene Of q Memo

Buckeye Park Is the Scene of o Memoir
able Gathering of the Nations Hope.
The big day for the school children
a date which has been looked forward
to by many happy child, made its ap-
pearance about the usual hour, giving
promise of beautiful weather. At
very early hour children began to con-
gregate at the school houses, to be in
good season for the days outing at the
new resort at the head Of Kerr's Island.
This resort. although young, has
sprung into instant popularity, and de-
servedly so, for il is naturally beauti'
full place, and it has been adorned by
attractive buildings and equipments
which make it charming place
wherein to be entertained.
The school children marched to the
wharfboat in divisions as per the ar
ranged programme. Although there
were some delays in starting and in
accommodating the vast crowds, yet the
throng of people was transported to
the Park safely and in good order.
People to the number of probably FIVE
thousand visited the grounds during
the day, and we have yet to hear OF
any accident to anybody. One small
boy fell into the basin which surrounds
the ountain, but he got out with a
slight ducking only.
The big crowd, of course, comported
itself we'll, and the large majority of it
enjoyed the day among the big trees.
The children played games, passed ball,
swung in the splendid big swings, rode
on the merry-go-round, strolled and
swung IN hammocks. The Marietta
Band, in full, under Prof. Hibbens,
kept itself busy playing patriotic and
other popular selections.
The set programme of the day was
very interesting. A fiue big flag was
flung to the breeze amid many cheers,
and then followed speeches. Supt
Boyd was mas3er of ceremonies at the
speech-making and on entering upon
that duty he made happy introduc-
tory speech referring to the flag-what
it represented, and the suffering it had
cost. Also that our country believed
in universal intelligence. He consid-
cred that our public school system was
the solid ro,k upon which intelligence
was grounded, as we'll as our free insti-
tutions, and even liberty itself.
Mr. Boyd introduced the speakers of
the day, the Rev. Mr.. Dick, Father
Woesman and the Rev. Mr.. Coil. That
these gentlemen spoke extremely we'll
goes with out saying. Each of course
made patriotic speech, and their
words called forth many strong out
bursts of applause.
On every side at meal time there were
cloths spread, ON which was proyender
for about twice the mum Der to eat, and
the same was more than tasted and en-
ioyed. Everybody's appetite seemed
to be good, and the charming sur
and the free air lent an addi-
tional stimulus.
The day as whole was great one,
and it will be remem bered for its many
pleasant events.

found on the o. r. Railroad track, just

1t is thought the man is tramp and

Whal the Pupil Needs
washington POst.)

The Rev. Richard P. Williams, rec
tor Of Trinity P. E. church, preached
to a large congregation Sunday morn
ing on st. John, taking his text from
St. Luke, III:1O-14. DR.. Williams, af-
ter a short character sketch Of the
Baptist proceeded to draw the follow
ing lessons from his life and work:
1--WE of modern days, who are accus-
preacher, are unable to appreciate the
effect of the harsh words of the skim
clad orator, as he called his listeners a
generation of vipers.' We could not lis
ten to such denunciations from a nine
teenth century, preacher. Blu the re-
sponse which came back to him wasi
What shall we do, then? Instead of
justifying themselves, as we are accus
toned to do when called to account by
some man holder than the rest, they
asked for the remedy. They saw be-
fore them a man who was terribly in
earnest, a man who read them through
and through, who had no honeyed
words to pallitate their w~ickedness.
would he were here now to burn his
words into the souls of some of our pro-
Tossing Christians! The curse of this
age is selfishness. 1t is found every
where. No class is exempt.
There is no doubt that John could
have preached a doctrinal sermon had
he wished. He might have gone deep
into an exposition of the prophetical
texts by which he justified his demands
upon the attention of men. But he
would have accomplished nothing. Fan
cy a rude soldier listening to a disqui-
sition on the prophets. Imagine a
close-fisted merchant of Jerusalem try
ing to keep awake while this man was
trying to prove that the prophesies of
Daniel were about TO be fulfilled.
ct is a good deal easier to most
preachers to talk theology than to talk
morality. They are mot apt to hurt
anybody's feelings if they get into abb
struse doctrinal discussions, whereas
they are almost certain TO make people
vince if they denounce sins in the way
they ought to be denounced.
1T is not oratory. it is not eloquence
that We want in the pulpit. il is bold
ness and the power to tell the truth
in such a way as TO make people see
their sins for themselves, without be-
ing angry at the minister for telling
them. There is such a thing as speak
ing the truth in love- but il mus. be
the truth"

THE NORTH SLOW TO KNOW THE
SOUTH.

The more the northern views of the
south are seen the more cause there
is for marvel. The northern newspa-
pers blunder every day in their opin-
ions about the south. past and present.
They are just beginning to ind out in
1898, thirty-seven years since the great
wal began, that there were actual divi-
sions in the south prior to the war as
to having a war. They have been
thinking up there" among the wise
acres, and perhaps teachers in colleges
tina it was a "solid south" in 1861.
Have they forgotten that then it was
not even a solid north" as to the war
to be waged against us. There were
people-many of them-with intelli-
gence and knowledge and a ens of
justice and right, who knew that the
south was far more sinned against
than SHINING. who understood perfect
ly that the south had the right to
withdraw under the constitutions and
had cause sufficient to withdraw. Even
the able Horace Greeley said sslet the
south go in peace" General 10. Wheel

So far from prostrating itself before
the rich north, so blatant and domi-
neering, it believes that it is truer to
genuine liberty and the principles and

than the north, or any part of 1T is
