To the Pastors and Sunday School
Superintendants of the
Churches In Maine.

The Maine State Sunday School
Association desires TO call your atten-
ton 10 the work which it is seeking to
do.
The Importance OF the Sunday School
to the community and the State increas-
es with each returning decade OF years
Religious instruction In the public
schools has disappeared. In very few
of them is the Bible read and prayer
offered.
From the nature of a Democratic
| government all direct religious instruct
ion and all instruction upon mora
questions from religious standpoint
! 10 our schools must disappear.
Such is the logic of our form OF
government, that our public schools
must be purely secular with no relig.
! ious instruction, save that OF the chris
tian character of the teacher, when the
teacher has such character.
1t follows that il the youth Of our
communities are to be instructed in the
Word of God, it must be done by the
churches and their Sunday schools.
Such is the situation, and God M {
brought forward the modern Sunday
school as the religious educator OF the
| youth OF our country.
This responsibility the church must
accept, hence the Importance OF not
only bringing all the children and youth
into our Sunday schools, but also the
supreme importance OF raising the char
acter of our Sunday Schools In theil
methods OF work. This is the aim oil
their methods OF work. This is the aim
of the Maine State Sunday School
association. Its mission Is TO help
every Sunday School In the State to
become better school.
la no other department of christian
work has there been during the last
fifty years, a greater advancement IN
management and methods OF instruction
than in Sunday School work. The best
scholarship and the deepest conservation
of the church have been given to it.
1t has secured the services Of Mr.. L.
n. Halliday IA field worker, also of Miss
c. 5. Lucas, young woman OF culture
and special training, to be superinten-
dant of Primary instruction.
We thus send out among you, these
two workers tn assist in lifting up the
character and advancing the efficiency
of all our schools.
We bespeak for them warm well
come and your work.
From the fact that the most of our
Sunday School teachers are busy men
and women from the common walks OF
life, and with limited opportunities for
special culture, we urge that where ever
district conventions are held the younger
and less experienced teachers be encour-
aged to attend.
The Association Is observation-disclosures
common work in which all christians
have common interest. II should
also be said that the State Executive
committee are devoting much time and
thought in the management OF this work
free Of all expense, and they are happy
to do so as servants of the Association
and of Christ.
The lessons planned by the Interna-
tional Committee for eighteen months
from the beginning of the new year are
upon the life of Christ 1t will be the
opportunities OF a whole decade. We
ask YOU to unite with usfin this work
that we may all help each other.

FOOD AND WEATHER.
Temperature Increased or Reduced
by Food.

The old army ration Cor the tropics has
been very sharply criticised for the reason
that Il consists of articles of food that
any person even slightly acquainted with
the elements of food knows is not adapted
TO the needs Of the human system IN hot
weather. Nature shows forth in the Sc
lection OF food by inhabitants OF various
countries: for instance. the Esquimaux
in cold climate selects heavy. carban-
aceous foods. tallow, bacon and such:
while the Hindoo and inhabitants OF hot
countries turn to the cereals for susie
nance.
We should follow this hint Of nature.
and particularly in hot weather should
avoid much butter. meat or any Of that
class Of food. Perhaps httle meat once
a day Is not amiss. even in hot weather.
but the breakfast and lunch should be
made Of fruit, one or two slices OF ensre
wheat bread and some Grspe-Nuts and
cream. Grape Nuts are mentioned. be-
cause they furnish the ideal cereal food

81 have read with interest the claim
made by Mr.. Edison that chemistry
proves the existence Of supreme intelli-
founded 1t is one thing to show through
the discoveries OF science the reasonable
ness OF the belief In a supreme htelli-
gence, but It is quite another thing to
demonstrate 1t. One always reaches the
point where demonstration stops and
where the jump must be made by an
inference
''In reference to the statement concern
Ing prayer, Mr.. Edison seems to have mis-
taken the real purpose of 1t. There was a
time when prayer was used in reference
TO natural phenomena, and it is still so
used by many. but the real significance Of
IL Is coming TO be understood to be spir-
ituaL Prayer seems to be spiritual con-
tact with supreme being, and. therefore,
it is entirely beyond the province OF SCI
ence to confirm or deny its efficacy"
A. V. E. Young. professor Of chemistry
In Northwestern University:
'I believe that the most satisfactory
view Of nature Is gotten by him who sees
the handwork OF an Infinite intelligence,
whether 1t be manifest in the beauty of a
landscape. the majesty of the heavens or
the marvel of the most hidden things
which are revealed to the student of
physical science. From this viewpoint
thte study of material things has a dig
nifty and worth surely comparable with
that of the humanities-indeed, superior
one may claim-as the works of the high
er intelligence excel those Of the lower.
THAT the facts of physical science
would prove the existence Of God to a
man not. otherwise disposed to admit the
possibility OF intelligence superior to his
own is a proposition 1 am not prepared
to maintain. And I doubt If scientific
learning, however extensive. would alone
make a man prayerful."

There are many amusing anecdotes told
on GaIlifet in Paris. Invited to dine with
Nine Adam one evening he arrived at

ing her displeasure. After a word Of ex-
cuse he approached her. admiring heE
gown, which was quite decollete.
"Ah, the beautiful shoulders" he ex-
claimed, imprinting a kiss on one Of them.
Nine Adam replied by giving him sharp
tap with her fan, and Gallifet. still smil-
ling, said. Now that know the price"
and STOPPING stole another.
One of the stories the general loves to
tell is his adventure in March, 1871, in
which he narrowly escaped with his neck.
The commune was at its height Theirs
called him and said: go and take fur
escadrons, proceed to the Bergeries bridge,
there you will find 300 national guards,
gather them in In an instant"
The general obeyed the first part OF the
order. but when he arrived at the bridge
he found 1t strongly guarded by 5000 COM
batants. 1t was too late to withdraw. The
general murmured. 1--WE are in it," and

would not allow him to be either tried or
