EPWORTh LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS
March 2l-Christian Education. | Tim. 9.
SO; 2. Tim. 2. Is, 23.

Being a Christian does not make
man stop wanting to be the best. 1t
just makes him stop wanting to be the
best merely for himself. He wants to
be the best for Jesus Christ. AS a
man begins to feel the throb of an am
bition to have his life count in the SER
vice of his Master he feels the need of
training that lie may be of the most
possible value. Christian education is
20 supply this need,
Stop and consider for a while what
thorough training one can obtain in
a Christian college. There are sew
eral points of emphasis one will find
in a Christian college. The first is an
emphasis on character. One Is helped
to feel that what he is. He is made
to feel that his education is to help
him to be a man of truer stuff, of finer
grain. The thought of development Is
held before him. He learns to feel,
as he had not felt before, that he was
meant to grow. and to keep on grow
ing. The duty of growing gets into
his inner feeling about life. Then the
privilege of service is a thought he
.breathes in. until 1t gives life a new
dignity, If the thought had not come
to him before. If he had cherished 1t
as an ideal, the ideal is confirmed and
strengthened in him.
The disciple, the course of study
VIII train his mind so that 1t will be
more reliable than it would have been,
and will make possible new firm
ness of grasp and clearness Of under.
standing. He will be helped to be,
not simply one who knows. but one
who thinks. Then in the fields he
passes over he will have the oppor.
tunity to find out his own aptitudes.
Then there Is the personal influence
of the teachers. Perhaps there are
few schools where there are not some
teachers whose personality enriches
the life of all who feel it's influences.
Mark Hopkins has passed away, but
little-known teacher has something
OF his spirit and something of his pow.
er. Thank God for them. They are
a part Of our country's treasure. The
personal enthusiasm for learning, for
high manhood and womanhood. with
which they infuse their students is
one OF the great things which the col
lege life gives.
The influences of the Young Mems
Christian Association and the Young
Women's Christian Association will
infuse wealth of freshness and vigor
into the students religious life. 1t is
hard for cant" to thrive in one of
these associations.
Then the world view of Christianity
will be brought to the student of our
Christian college. The sentence, THE
world for Christ" will be flooded with
new meaning. Perhaps in this Wis
ion his lie mission may be revealed
to him.

Affections of Home.

If ever household affections and loves are
graceful things, they are graceful in the
poor. The ties that bind the wealthy and
the proud to home may be forged on earth,
but those which link the poor man to his
humble hearth are OF the true metal and
bear the stamp OF heaven. The man OF
OF his inheritance as a part of himself, as
trophies of his birth and power; the poor
mans attachment to the tenement he holds
which strangers have held before, and may
tomorrow occupy again, has a worthier
root, struck deep into purer soil. His
household gods are of flesh and blood. with
no alley OF silver, gold or nrecions stones
his own heart. and when they endear bare
floors and walls, despite Of toll and scanty
meals, that man has his love of home from
God, and his rade hut becomes a solemn
place.-Charles Dickens.

AT one OF his most startling stages OF
oratory he discharged volley OF ac-
cusations with such force that the plas-

Very Irritating.

A man may without reproach refer
to the excellence OF his own work, but
at the same time it is never we'll to
call attention to ones own skill by
casting aspersions upon the ability oI
others. a piano-tuner had nearly fin
lshcd his work on the piano when he
looked UP and said to the lady OF the
house,
Your instrument was in an awful
condition. You ought to have sent for
me sooner
1T was tuned only three month:
ago"
Then the man who did it was igno-
rant OF his business
DO you think so?"
IN sure OF it, ma am. He ought
to be saving wood or cleaning the
streets instead OF tuning pianos. A
delicate instrument like a piano needs
fingers equally delicate to handle it
and 1t needs an accurate ear, too. The
person who attempted to tune this in
strument last evidently had neither"

hands compldcently, and then contn.

Probably not; but you tuned that

On his way home the man reflected

women have OF presenting facts.

Lesson Thoughts.
When we condemn in others the
sins that we ourselves commit we con-
denim ourselves most severely.
Men will naturally return the same
kind of judgment which you give to
them. Harsh and unkind judgment and
severe critisim awaken the same in
others. There is no such way to teach
us charity in judging others as to ex.
ercise severity in judging ourselves,
Selections.

OF the boy and the echo bearing back
the words that he uttered. Also, the
fable of Apollo and the critic. Ha.

had prepared for Mordecai. He that
diggeth a pit shall fall into it."-Eccl.

Alop. Wheatly. (2) To pardon those
absurdities in ourselves which We can.
not suffer in others is neither better
nor worse than to be more willing to
be fools ourselves than to have others
so.-Dean Swift (3) Men are more
apt to use spectacles than looking
glasses, spectacles to behold other
mems faults rather than looking.
glasses to behold their own.-Trapp.

And foolish notion.
While we are blind with self-deceit,
we are but bunglers in the work of
dealing with the faults of others.
When we have wrestled with and over
come our own besetting sins, then,
and not till then, shall we be able
with the insight and tact which the
work demands, to help others to over
come theirs.

Washington. July 21.-The weather hu-
reaus weekly summary of crop conditions
is as follows:
While the temperature in the central
valleys. Lake Region and Atlantic coast
districts has averaged considerably be-
low normal no unfavorable effects from
cool weather are apparent from the Te-
ports except in portions Of the middle
and south Atlantic states where growth

of rain is beginning to be felt in Oklaho-
ma and southwestern Kansas.
Corn has made favorable advancement
in all districts. but in the principal corn
states. it is variable as TO size and condi-
ton. being generally small. especially in
the central and eastern districts Of the
belt. AS the result the crop is in a good
state of cultivation except in the upper
Ohio Valley and middel Atlantic states.
In portions of Indiana. Missouri. south
western Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. corn is in need of rain to a greater
or less extent
