for the highest culture. It is no Sc
cret that the most plastic period lies
below childhood, in infancy proper.
The chief part of all human learning
is wrought in these first seven years.
No pretentious culture won in later
years is really half so wonderful as
the almost unconscious education car
ried on in the period of infancy. Dame
Nature is busy with her babes, and has
them at incessant schooling; every
sense is being called into exercise, is
cultivated and refined, mastery is be-
ing won over every physical power;
the sentiments, the imaginations, rea-
son and conscience are undergoing a
corresponding development In this
period we think of as all idleness, the
unfolding of the superlative self must
begin. In the early home life training
let us not become discouraged, a con-
stant dropping Of water Will wear
away a stone. The history of races
and nations prove that some are espe-
ciaEly endowed for the termination
and production of certain ideas, but
the value of an idea, the truth and
greatness of an achievement do not
receive their permanent value by the
estimate which the present places
upon them. Let no man., race or ma
tipn. fear that posterity wiIl fail to
place the proper estimate upon the
greatness and value of their achieve
ments. The final verdict of history
cannot be bought, posterity cannot be
bribed. Neither prejudice, jealousy
nor envy can hide from future ages a
truth or an achievement that is
worthy to survive. Nor can power,
wealth or pride give immortality to
that which is unable to survive. Let
us take passing glance at the CON
tributions which the historic nations
OF antiquity have made to the civiIiza-
ton and progress of mankind.

THE .LITTLE ONES PRAYER.

How He occuptea the Time Set Apart
for silsnf Eeyotisn. =, IS -
The little son OF an Episcopal clergy
man of Los Angeles was visiting with
his mother a Canadian city where the
two attended: services at q certain
church. Tt is the custom In that
church for the clergyman and congre.
cation to bow in silent prayer for q
minute or two Just before the sermon
begins. It was ANEW proceeding to
the child, for he was not accustomed
to seeing this done in his fathers
church, but the little chap brayely and
reverently did his part. After the
service was over the Clergyman, one
OF the old evangelical school, who had
noticed the apparent devotion Of the
child, spoke. to- him and commended
his reverence with an: affectionate Pat
on the head. 1t was very pleasing. 2
he remarked to a group Of bystand-
|ters, torsee this little fellow so deeply
engaged in earnest prayer just before
