1t was only the too frequent use Of the
pronoun APP in Robert Browning's po-
ems that this scribe criticised. We GER
tainly should have the right to criticise
any Of the ancient bards, or modern
bards either without any fear of giving
| offense.
| Our heart goes out in sympathy to
our esteemed friend, Mrs. F. Ferry, in
her serious illness. We hope she may
soon recover and be her own pleasant
self again. We are glad that the Ste
pheusport holiday entertainments were
postponed on her account. The people
were too serious to engage in mirth.
We enjoy controversy, or rather inves-
tigation, but we do not wish to pay atten.
ton to any of the contemptuous words
hurled at us in Current Topics" two
weeks ago. We make no pretensions to
any superior literary attainments, and
therefore do not risk any failure. Com
mon courtesy points us to better way
OF discussion.
We congratulate our Glendeane corre-
spondent Of the News on being 80 kindly
remembered by his friends, the patrons
OF his school. Well do we remember his
generosity in giving medals when he
taught in this district. Several gold
medals that were given as rewards OF
merit are still worn by his former pupils.
They were as bread cast upon the
waters and gathered many days hence"
And now he is the receiver of probably a
more meritorious reward than any he
has given.
| Parents should be very careful what
kind OF literature their children read.
Good books create knowledge, virtue
and happiness, and bad books create the
opposite In preparing food for our
children we would not do such an abb
surd thing as to prepare dish Of poison
GUS food. We should take as much care
of their minds as their bodies, and give
them wholesome food for both.
1t is said by some persons that the
standard Of religion taught by Charles
NJ. Sheldon in his book called ain His
Steps" is too high. II it is higher than
the standard Of religion that Jesus
taught, it is too high. And if, on the
other hand, it is lower than Jesus taught,
it is too low. 1t is argued that He had a
"divine nature" and 80 He had, but we
are partakers OF His divine nature, eff 30
be that the spirit OF Christ dwell in us.
The fact that He had a divine nature
makes it more incumbent on US to fol-
low ''in his steps" He Ia our guide, our
law-giver, our Saviour. He has prom
ised the Holy Spirit to guide us into all
