Environed by God.

The new science and the new the
olocy, so far as there is one, abound In
beautiful expressions which are rich IN
meaning for daily life. And we need to
bring them out Of the world o: theory
and set them splendidly into the midst
of our common vocabulary. We hear so
much about environment, and about the
immanent God! But what value have
these truths, for our common work
They must not remain. in the books OF
theology. They must be translated into
the language Of every day.
The environment Of the spirit IS God.
In Him truly we live and move and
have our being But this means some
thing for our kitchens and our Offices.
We are not environed by God in the
church on Sunday. during the mountain
ton experiences of life, and when we
rush passioaately toward new ideals in

Christiauity fs Vital.

Insist that Christianity is life. The
difference between the inert and tht
vital is, the one is shaped, while tbs
other shapes. One is the vessel on the
wheel; the other, the potter at the
wheel. You may always find life-re-
shaping ingredients. The seed will take
soil and sun and waterdrop and air, and
invent a rose, but no chemist can woSk
so great q wonder. One seed did the,
having life at the heart. A tree and q
crag, which is the mightier? Why, the
crag assuredly, for has it not mass and
weight and imposing majesty? 1ei
consider, oil the crag can do is stand
and wait. Grim endurance is its soli'
tary virtue. The crag is watching its
own demolition. Summer storms ara
wasting it; every frost is bidding it d!e;
the elements conspire against it, and la
doom is near. But the tree? 1t borrows
a .crevice of the crag in which to cradle
its babyhood. The winds snarl at IT
and smite it to and fro, toy OF theil
passions, but the poor twig has life. Ii
is not made, but makes. 1t does not
wait, but grows. and will gather in.
gradients and turn adverse circum-
stances to it's help and growth. Inc
crag waits while the tree eats its heart
away. The tree is becoming masterfu'
and dominant, and at the end the crag
will crouch like couchant lion at the
foot of this peerless pine, so great is
life.-William A. Quayle, D. D., in

Character Building.


, There was once stupendous apart
ment without supports in the great
cave of Kentucky. But following the
upheaval that formed the cave, water
began to percolate through the dome
and fall drop by drop to the floor. An
invisible sediment Of carbonate OF lime
was left by each drop on the ceiling and
where it fell on the floor. Natures
workmen had begun to pillar that
mighty dome. By day and by night,
without let or hindrance, the work went
on. At last the stalactite began to hang
from the vault and the stalagmite to
rise from the floor, and long before the
eyes of man looked into that little
world, the pillars from above and the
pillars from below had met and thou
sand columns supported the overhang-
ing roof, until now all the railroads ID
the state might roll their cars over tne
place, or you could pile another CONT
nent upon it, and it would not yield an
inch. Thus character is always stalac-
titic in it's formation, begun IN mo-
mcnt, but running on through a lifetime
and coming to an absolute permanence.
Never a drop Of truth percdates
through the heart that it does not leaVe
a sediment of strength. Never
thought, word or deed that does not
leave some eternal effect.-Gerard b. \.

PHYSICAL TRAINING.

Arrangements have been made by
the Supt, teachers and school board
for systematic course Of physical
training to be given the teachers OF
our public schools Sin order that they
may be fitted to give such physical
training to the pupils. Miss Mabel
Pray the very efficient supervisor of
physical training in the Toledo schools
will have the work in charge. giving it
her personal supervision until each
teacher can successfully carry on the
work. We understand that hereafter
the teaching Of physical training will
be required OF every teacher employed
by the village school board. This is a
wise movement and will be approved
by the parents as we'll as the pupils.
Supt. Haylor is determined that
every pupil shall have as good instruc-
tion in every line of work as can be se-
cured in any school of the state and the
school board and teachers are helping
him 10 the obtaining of this purpose.
The introduction Of physical training
is right In the line of progress and
benefit TO every child of our commun-

Jim Dull, of Van Vert county is a
bright example of the Democratic can
didate in trouble. He has been told by
many Democrats in his county that
they will vote for him on the condition
that he will pledge himself not to vote
for John r. Mclean for Upited States
Senator. This pledge he refuses to
take, and is consequently between the
gold devil and the silver sea. There
are others in this Gx. There

Sentinel.
The last sentence OF the above item
undoubtedly refers to Frank Thomas
OF B. G., the Democratic candidate for
Representative. But we don't agree
with the Sentinel's statement that he
is ''doubting." The fact is that Thorn
as is young man of intelligence and
education and has two mach good sense
to doubt for one moment that he is not
going to vote for Mclean, because he
knows full we'll that he will not be a
member of the legislature during the
next term, and hence will have no op-
portunity to mix ir when it comes to
electing Senator from Ohio. Frank
Thomas is too smart man to doubt
that Hon. Clyde Painter will
represent Wood county in the next
Legislature and will cast a vote for Sem
ator Joseph Benson Foraker. The Sem
tfnel should remember that Thomas
Is member of the craft and has enough
troubles OF his own, without worrying
about John Mclean.

DR.. J. NJ. Morgan-The Physician
who cures diseases by Sanative Medi--
cation or non-poisonous Remedies will
visit Toledo.
The wise man reads and reflects.
This is an age and day of improve
ment. The world is open to scientific
investigation. Man has from the ear
liest period of time sought for means
by which to relieve Human Suffer
ing and Prolong Existence" This con-
stitutes the chief object of medicine.
Sanative Medication-The God
send to suffering humanity-has
saved hundreds of lives and relieved
thousands by the use of Non-Poison-
GUS Remedies. Realizing that man
cannot impart a curative power to an
agent which God has stamped with
the power to destroy. For this rea-
son we object to the use of poison
for internal treatment, and we use
only those remedies which act in
harmony with vital force.
