Between Lines of Will.

New York. Oct. 26.-The provisions of
the will of Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
died Sept. IL, were made public today
by Senator Chauncey M. Depew The
statement shows that Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt inherits the bulk of his
fathers fortune, and becomes practi-
cally the head of the Vanderbilt fami-
ly. The will makes no mention of the
marriage of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
to Miss Wilson, nor to any quarrel be-
tween father and son because of the
union, but apparently the fathers dis
pleasure was visited upon the eldest
son, he receiving, all told, under the
terms of the will, but $1,000, 900, and
$1,000000 held in trust by the execu-
tors.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt is of course
the residuary legatee, and will pos
sess fortune of probably $4,000 900 to
s50,000,000. Gladys, Reginald and Ger
trude (Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney,
will receive about $500, 900 each Most
remarkable of all, however, is the state
ment that Alfred will give from his

Georgia Presents a
Sword to One of
Her Sons.
TELEGRAM FROM DEWEY.
G. A. R. Veterans March
At Head of
Parade.

Atlanta, Oct. 26-Georgia today paid
tribute to her ranking hero of the
Spanish-American war, Flag Lieuten-
ant Thomas NJ Brumby of the Olym-
pia, by the presentation of handsome
sword in recognition of his noteworthy
services at Manila.
The occasion was one which allowed
many thousand citizens of the state to
give vent to their enthusiasm, which
began at sunrise. At an early hour
the reception committee called on Lieut..
Brumby at the Aragon Hotel and the
carrying out of the days program was
begun. The distinguished party drove
in carriages to the governors office at
the state capitol, where Lieut.. Brumby
was received by Gov. Chandler, the
United States senators and congress
men from Georgia, and visiting sena-
tors and representatives, the judges of
the supreme bench and other prominent
persons.
At 1890 a joint session of the Geor-
gia Senate and House was called, and
Lieut.. Brumby, escorted by the gov
ernor, was presented to the assembly.
After the presentation in the legisla-
ture, Lieut.. Brumby was escorted by
OON. CanuleF, mayor w OOuWdIu VI Al
lanta and others, followed by the mem
bers of the general assembly, to a stand
at the Washington street entrance to
the capitol, where the sword presenta-
ton took place. Mayor Woodward
presented Clark Howell, who read the
following from Admiral Dewey:
Washington, Oct. &c.
Hon Clark Howell, Atlanta, Ga;
II rejoice that the state of Georgia,
which gave such loyal support to the
government during the late war with
Spain, is now honoring one of its most
gallant sons, Lieut.. Brumby, for his
brave and conspicuous services in the
United States navy.
George Dewey"
Mr.. Howell then introduced Gov,
Gambler. The chief executive presented
the sword to the lieutenant, and the
cheers were redoubled as the latter ac-
.cepted the splendid token
Lieut. Brumbys emotion embarrassed
him for some time.
1T is true" said he II had the for
tune of being at Manila and, however
we may differ as to what I did at
Manila, my personal claim is that
did what l could"
At the conclusion of the ceremonies
here, the guest of honor and committee
went in carriages at the head of the
parade to the reviewing stand at the
corner of Peachtree street and Ponce
de Leon avenue. The parade was made
up of troops from Alabama, South
Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

MORNING SESSION.
The convention was opened with a
short devotional service led by Rev.
A. T. Kempton of Fitchburg, and
short prayers were offered by several
of the congregation.
The president, Stephen Moore gave
a short address of thanks and welcome
and Rev. ID. T. Wyman led in prayer.
The opening hymn, 20 sing unto the
Lord new song,' written by Stephen
Moore, was sung by the congregation,
and the business session was opened.
The reading of the records of last year
were dispensed with and Prof. ]. M.
English was introduced and spoke on
THE teacher himself" In substance he
said:
In the more recent years there has
been q marked advance in the meth
DDS of instruction in Sunday school
The principles that are practiced in the
secular schools are being adopted more
and more in the Sunday school. 1t is
to be hoped and expected that in the
future still better teaching will obtain.
Modern pedagogy certainly has a place
in Sunday school instruction.
1t is to be borne in mind, however
that the Bible is something other and
more than text book, and the truths
it records are not to be dealt with
simply as arithmetic. science and litera-
ture are, as so much material to be in
tellectualfy mastered.
The teacher himself is potent fact
or in securing the best results in Sun
day school teaching. He should give
heed to himself before giving heed to
his teaching, and there are three rea-
sons for this. The truth he teaches is
personal truth, that is, it never stops
with the intellectual part Of the schol-
I,s,4 la- y.fsr ~ ~
inner depths of what he is, in himself
as moral personality. 1t must receive
cordial respect there, else it has missed
its main aim, and failed to do its central
work.
This personal truth finds its most eff
fective expression through the teach
er's personality His teaching cannot
be- ought not to be, in the long rum
any better than he himself is. He
builds himself into his scholars, and he
cannot help it, if he would, and he
ought not help it if he could. What he
is in conviction, character truthful
ness, ideals. influence, is strangely felt
by the scholars. This is significant Of
Christian ruth.
1.-THE teachers own personality must
cordially respond to the truth he
teaches. In the phrase, he must be in
the truest noblest sense, spiritual
ity Of Christian truth, the holy spirit
and the demand the truth makes upon
the spiritual part of human nature. In
the teachers cordial response to the
truth the following things are con-
trolled in him: His intelligence to the
will of God spiritual insight, spiritual
experience"
