CH|NA|N SEARCH
Of ANEW COD
=(By Edgar Mels.)

Had the embassy of Emperor Wingte,
A. D. IS. of the Ming dynasty, gone 1,50O
miles further on it's journey in search
of the incarnated God, China would have
been one of the greatest Christian ma
tions on the globe and all the present
trouble would nave been avoided.
The story of the search for the NEAR
mated God and its strange ending forms
one of the most remarkable chapters in
the history of a remarkable people,. 1T
is not merely that the him of 1900
years ago should seek the light, but that
in SO doing it should miss the object of
that search completely and yet stumble
across a new n a better r~eligion-that
is the most remarkable thing.
In order to properly understand the
conditions leading to a search for the
incarnated God it will be necessary to
go a little into the history of China of
hat day. The Ming dynasty, which
ruled then, had brought China out of
a slough of despond into which it a
sunk because of the terrible corruption
into Which the precepts of C%onfucius
and Lao-tze had fallen. These two great
teachers We're to China what Marcus
Aurelius Antonius was to the Romans.
All three taught the value of good, the
necessity of going good, and other pre-
cepts based upon the same proposition.
After the death of the Chinese philoso-
piers their teachings became ]corrupted
until Confucianism became another name
for ceremonial usage, and Lao-tzeisln,
under the nalne of Taoism, a worship OF
spirits.
STRANGE RUMORS.
1t was then, when China was the most
highly civilized nation, When it counted
gunpoWder among its inventions, that
the Ming rulers sought to find the tru
religion-something more noble than a
worship of spirits or ceremonials. While
still discussing the matter rumors spread
far and near that a new prophgt-the
incarnation of the real God-had APP
peared in the far west, Strange stories
were whispered beneath the breath of
the marvellous power of this new God
how he had raised the Aad and had
performed other miracles.
This eventually reached the ears of the
emperor. Calling the literary and seien-
tific men before him, he demanded to
know their opinions.
After long consultation it was decided
to send an embassy to the incarnated
God, with rich offerings. and to ask him
to come to China to preach the true
word. So a great caravan of richly-dec-
GRATED camels was gathered, and mag
nificent offerings loaded upon their
backs. There were superb silks, glitter
ing, precious stones, the choicest incense,
magnificent ivory carvings, and the finest
products of all China.
Attended by a huge retinue Of coolies,
and servants, and soldiers, the embassy,
consisting of China's most learned men,
started south, along the coast line, for,
in those days, 1t was not safe to travel
too far inland. Days and weeks the car
AVIAN travelled. Each day prayers We're
offered to the incarnate God. On went
the cavalcade, passing beyond the bound
aries of China. into the unknown land
beyond. Everywhere the mission went,

THE VALUE
Of SP0RTS|N
THE FUTURE

(By Prof. Arthur D.. Hadley of Yale.)
The value of athletics when practised
IN the right spirit is only equaled by
their RIGHTEOUSNESS when practised in
the wrong spirit. They deserve cordial
and enthusiastic support. The time and
thought spent upon. them, great as it
may seem, is justified by their educa-
tional influence. But side by side with
this support and as part Of it we must
have unsparing condemnation Of the
whole spirit of professionalism. I do
no refer to those grosser and more OBJ
vious forms of professionalism which
college sentiment has already learned
to condemn. Nor do I chiefly refer to
the betting by which intercollegiate
contests are accompanied, though this

OF his method of fighting a famous war

an opposing army is a herd of spr1ns,

has been of great service in counter
acting some of the dangerous tendencies
of the day. Open to criticism as athletics
ma be for their unnecessary expense.
for the betting that goes on in connec-
ton with them and for the distorted
views they encourage as to the relative
Importance Of different things of life,
they yet have a place in education which
is of overwhelming Importance. The
physical training which they involve,
good as it may. be, is but a small part of
the benefit achieved. The moral train
Ing is greater. Where scores of men
are working hard for IN honor and
hundreds more are infected with their
spirit, the moral force of such an EMU
lation is not to be despised.

AN INGENIOUS MAN OF LETTERS

A little story comes from a seaside VIII
lage in Normandy, where a w~eil-known
man of letters is staying in company
with a young writer of trities at a some-
what primitive hotel. One morning the
former addressed the host as follows:
you would oblige me by making your
charges as low as possible for my young
colleague. He is ont a rich man.
The landlord, delighted with the pres
ence in his house of the man of renown
promised to ave due consideration Of
the purse of his younger guest. But a

came to him again, saying:

Assessment of Lands.

Willis Gibson, Assessor for High
land. has completed his work of re-
assessing the lands Of the county.
MIR. Gibson's books show that the
valuations remain practically the
same as for previous years, yet he
has made some changes. where, in
his opinion, inequality existed, and
we believe the result to be fair
and impartial assessment.
A new feature has been intro
duced in the preparation of his
books, which is the placing of the
names alphabetically, and it will
prove of great advantage. and be
more systematic. Thu book that
he will this week forward to the
Auditor has been prepared with
great care and shows up we'll as to
penmanship, neatness and general
arrangement. We doubt yer, much
whether a better one will be receiv-
I'd by the auditor.

Public School Examination.

AS advertised, the examination
of teachers for public schools, was
held by Supt. B. Fl. Hansel, at this
place on Tuesday and Wednesday
Only, fourteen persons attended,
which is a remarkable falling Oft In
numbers from previous years, last
year there being over twenty and
seven years ago forty, but from
that time the number has gradual
lv decreased until this very small
figure has been reached. OF this
mum Der at least two on account OF
their age, are not eligible to receive
certificates, leaving but twelve who
nav become teachers. TO this
mum Der is added the six or eight
first grade teachers, who were not
required to stand an examination
this year and we have the county's
supply of teachers.
In talking with Mr.. Hansel with
regard to the cause of the scarcity
OF teachers he attributed it to the
salary offered them, that when they
were prepared to teach it fitted
them for other business that is
more renumeratiye. He stated too,
that the counties around US pay
larger salaries. To increase the
pay to teachers the taxes would
have to be increased materially,
and this he does not consider adj
visable. Stonewall district already
has its school taxes to the TOP
notch, and it does not appear to
releave the situation to any great
extent.
To reduce the number of schools
to correspond with the number of
teachers is the only thing remain
ing to be done. For any one neigh
borhood to be deprived of the ad-
vantages Of school when it pays
It's proportion of school taxes, is
great hardship on that
Can anyone sug-
yest remedy?

graded school for the county. He
rgues that from this source teach
RS would be supplied for public
chools more capable in every way

re prepared by the present public
chools, which is the only means
