SUNDAY SCHOOL DISCIPLINE.

1t is to be regretted, that after all
the wise and good things which have
been written and spoken on this sub
ject, there should be so many schools,
especially in our cities and large
towns, in which the neglect of disci-
pline is such an obvious and greivious
evil
1t is not to be expected that every
teacher in a Sunday school will be
perfectly qualified in all respects for
his duty. Some may succeed in win
ming the affections of a class, who fail
in discipline, others may succeed
in what is called discipline, but fail
to gain the love and confidence Of
their pupils. The most punctual
teachers are not always happy in their
mode of teaching, and sometimes a
teacher Of admirable qualifications
may be habitually behind the time.
These inequalities are unhappy and
are to be provided for, as far as pos
slble, in the general superintendence
of the school. And it is to this p0in
that your attention is now directed.
We are puFsuaded that there is moth
ng wanting 10 correct, to great ex-
tent, the evil which We have men.
toned, but a conviction that it ex-
lists, and a sincere desire and effort 10
correct it. A Sunday school should
be as orderly as Christian congrega-
tion.
The school is assembled on sacred
day for purpose as elevating and as
holy as that which gathers ''the great
congregation" The truths which
are taught In the school are one al d
the same with those taught in the
sanctuary" The end Of the ser
vices in both places is the same-viz:
The salvation OF souls. Now it VIII
be conceded on both hands, that if
truth is to make an impression, the
mind Of the pupil must be properly
prepared TO receive it. There must

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 15.-President
Mckinley made memorable the first
day of the Atlanta peace jubilee by
notable utterance in his speech before
the joint session of the Georgia legisla-
ture. His reception by the general as
semDly was warm and hearty and his
speech was punctuated with frequent
outbursts of cheering. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the address marked an
epoch in history and is on every lip.

was fairly well filed with state senators

for silence and introduced the president
to the audience after congratulating the
state of Georgia upon the presence of
their distinguished guest. AS the presi-
dent rose the audience applauded. Dur
ing the course of his speech Mr.. McKin-
ley constantly paused for the cheers to
stop. A scene of intense enthusiasm
followed when, amid impressive silence,
these words fell from the lips of the
president.

OBITUARY..

Mrs. Ann d. Price, the wife Of Rev.
r. D. Price, an old aud honored mem
Der of the Minnesota conference, died
at her home at South Bend, MIMI.
Nov. 2, 1898, in her sixty-seventh
year.
She was born in Bont Newydd,
noar Carnarvon, North Wales, March
a, 1888. The family moved to this
country In 1914 and settled at Ran
dolph, Columbia county, Wis. Early
in life she sought God through faith
in Jesus Christ and found him to the
Joy of her soul. Her religious life
was happy, joyous one. She joined
the church and was loyal and de
voted to 1t all her life. April u 1852,
she was married to Rev. r. d. Price,
then a member of the Wisconsin con-
ference. That year they were ap-
pointed to Cambria Welsh Mission,
where they remained two years, do
ing excellent work, and from there to
Dodgeville mission, where they also
remained two years. She was a
great help to her husband in his holy
calling and blessing to the work.
The people all loved Sister Price. 10
1856 they were transferred to the
Minnesota conference and appointed
to the Welsh Mission in the Mime
sofa valley and located at South Bend,
where they have lived ever since. She
shared cheeIfully the tolls and sacri-
fees of her husband in this hard
frontier field. Her log cabin was the
home and resting place of the timer
ant in those days. Many were fed at
her table and cheered and blest by
her earnest prayers and pure Chris
tian character.
Her husband, six sons and two
daughters survive her, one daughter
being the wife OF Rev. G.. S. Perry, a
worthy member Of the Minnesota
conference. Sister Price had been in
poor health for some time and con-
fined TO the bed for about seven
weeks. She was great sufferer but
endured it with Christian patience
and fortitude. When the end came
she was ready and anxious to go and
be ''forever with the Lord" She
died in great peace, expressing to The
last her confidence in Jesus and hope
of heaven. The large funeral at
tested the esteem in which she was
held by her neighbors and friends
Presiding Elder Stafford and Rev. J
w. Powell had charge of the funeral

A POPULAR MISTAKE.
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion


Indigestion
The national disease of Americans
is indigestion or in it's chronic form.
dyspepsia, and for the very reason
that it is SO common many people
neglect taking proper treatment for
for what they consider thrilling
stomach trouble, when as natter of
fact, Indigestion Lays the foundation
for many lncurable diseases, No per
son with vigorous, healthy stomach
will fall victim to consumption.
Many kidney diseases and heart trou
bles date their beginning from poor
digestioD; thin, nervous people are
really so because their stomachs are
out of gear; weary, languid, faded
out women owe their condition to
imperfect Indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet
is ffiicted with weak digestion it Is
not surprising that nearly every Sc
cret patent medicine on the market
claims to be cure for dyspepsia, as
we'll as a score of other troubles, when
in fact, as DR.. Werthier says, there is
but one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable, and
moreover, this remedy is not patent

A Tribute to American va1or.

"Every soldiers grave made during
the unfortunate civil war is a tribute to
the American valor. And while, when
those graves were made, we differed
widely about the future of our govern
ment, those differences were long ago
settled by the arbitrament of arms, and
the time has now come, in the evolution
of sentiment and feeling under the
providence of God, when, in the spirit
of fraternity, we should share with you
in the care of the graves of the Confed
crate soldiers"
A wild cheer went up from every
throat in the typical Southern audience,
a cheer that echoed and re-echoed
through the chamber until it was taken
up by the crowds outside. Old men
who fought for the South rose from
their seats and waved their hats. One
Confederate veteran, now legislator,
had pressed forward until he was lean
ing against the speakers desk hanging
on each word the president uttered.
When reference was made to the Con-
federate dead this old man buried his
head in his arms, and while the cheers
rang out, cried like a little child.
Nothing Like 1t Since Grants Speech.

bitterly disappointed because they had
