Function of Education.
1t is the function of education to en-
large the sphere of influence of the
human conscience. We have a right
to demand Of the educated man that
he shall bring to the discussion Of the
larger and more complex questions of
modern civilization a mind so disci-

touch. 1t is not bronze statuary cast |
In one piece, but marble which grows
into form by innumerable STROKES /

Courage.
Courage is one of the requisites of
free country. Many good and intelli- |
gent men fail to become useful because
they lack courage to put themselves |
where they belong. A nation, though |
great so far as it's army, navy and |
commerce are concerned, might still |
fail to rise to the height Of it's oppor-
tunities through want of courage to
stand for justice and mercy lest it in
some way lose some mercenary adj
vantage.-Rev. Harry Blackford, Uni
versalist, Cincinnati.
