Illustration of revision OF the old adage
so that IL reads: "A rolling stone gathers
moss" The pastor said that the adage
revised this way might be considered dam
gerous. but in this case it did not prove so.
From the beginning" said the pastor,
referring to Froebel he passed through
mined child has been ruined by. He was
misunderstood by his father and by his
instructors. He could not endure the strain
or the old scholastic methods. He was,
therefore, in the estimation of his father,
self-wiled and stubborn. while by the
sscho.oIlmaster's standard he was little bet
about for the truth he pursued nothing
long, and so put himself outside the pale
OF success, l. e. of worldly recognition.
paths of knowledge. He became a tutor,
but after his own fashion. and sought TO
inspire his pupils with his own glimmer-
ings of truth. He became a soldier, but
not for love of wars glory: rather was
IL that he might gain experiences with
men in the grim school of battle and the
camp, and that under these stirring scenes
the love of the fatherland to be might
come upon him with greater power. He
became a professor after this. but ii was
In the service of an ideal rather than
cult. He passed out into the world, his
principles rapidly taking shape now, and
became a leader, but rather az a servant
than genius. So he conquered at last,

SorS have discovered the working out OF
a mighty plan too great TO be appreciated
by his own generation and too universal
TO be compassed or accomplished by any
up to this time"
In concluding his remarks the pastor
said: Therefore L am glad at this time
to lay my tribute OF praise before the
teachers of this day who have imbibed so
much Of this masters spirit. They have
not won all the battles he set on foot.
They still oftentimes unappreciated.

and broad orbal sympathy is welding the
parts quickly together. only urge that
the cure for all the sects is the growth of
a glorious love and service which as heat
melts bars of iron into one molten mass
shall melt churches into one. Missions
have done more TO broaden and cement the
church than any one cause. No man can
remain clannish or contrasted who looks
abroad over human millions Even small
crowd expands the beholder. We feel the
bigness of the race, the magnitude OF hui
manity when we cross seas and girdle con-
tinents. Nor can the church retain her
bigotry when she looks yearningly toward
hoary races craving the truth that alone
sets free the soul.
"Other men may magnify mechanism in
religion, and / see the uses of ii just as
admit man will use various overcoats to
suit the seasons But the origin and COM
pactness of the body itself is the main mat

machinery, and when a church warns into
devotedness and service, their heresies
disappear and heresy hunters lose their
trade or quit 1T from very shame"

BUILD THEIR OWN ROADS.
Wabash County Farmers Independent
of the County Commissioners.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH. Ind, April 21.-Farmers in
the northern part of Wabash county are
building gravel roads. Independent of the
County Commissioners, at a rate which
will soon leave few of the old mud high
ways in existence, under a system which
makes construction easy and cheap. One
turnpike of ten miles, extending from North
Manchester to Disko, is now being COM
pleted, and the burden, under the self
assessment system evolved, has scarcely
been felt among the landowners. These
farmers entered into an agreement to build
the road, every owner of property abutting
joining in the pact to pay $l.5O per acre
in work or cash, within three years. Land
assessed extends back half mile on
either side of the road. The work Is done
in dull seasons and the loss of time is not
felt by the farmer. while the construc-
ton of the road is pushed rapidly AT the
end of the three years the County Com
missioners are notified of the completion Of
the work, the county surveyor inspects the
road. and If it complies with all require
ments, il is accepted. and the commission
ers under the gravel road repair act, I'M
