THE FATHER RESPONSIBLE.
Ry Do Fahu N

The editor may change the trend of
popular thought, the teacher may
color the rays of human knowledge. the
minister may shupe the views OF con-
science and of God, but the father
stands at the switch and by his God
given authority, his constant example
and the mightlness of love turns the
train of child life upward to glory or
downward to despair.
1t is the father who is made respon-
sible in Scripture for the religious and
moral training of the family.
1t was the father who acted as priest
in his own household.
1t is the iniquity of the fathers"
which is to be visited Upon the chill
dren.
The father is under bonds to he
model man He should not be like n
church steeple-pointing the way he
never goes himself, nor like the brass
horn expressing sentiments which lie
never feels, but, remembering that he
cannot lead others higher than lie has
which children are like their parents,
and that example is more likely TO he
followed than precept; he must pos
sess that character which he wants his
little ones to attain in later years,
That man who does not seek TO di-
rect and control the religious views
and choices Of his children either has
no religion at all, or lie does not believe
in that which he processes to have.
Every father should govern his
home. Anarchy is as destructive IN
the family as iii the nation. He should
rule with a spirit of gentleness in
which is Il backbone of firmness
He should be pliable as the willow
when no principle is involved, but also
like the willow held by thousand
roots of principle TO the solid bed Of
truth.
He should be more concerned to
leave a legacy of chara ter than Il leg
acy of cash.
He rightly estimates values. 70
him children are worth more than cat
tie. In the light of eternity he SEES
the peril of unearned wealth.
He knows that money and leisure
are two feet horses with which MANY
sons and daughters make quick "trip
to hell.
The model father has his eyes open.
He sees that the keys he is touching
Will awaken discord oN.harmonies TO
all eternity. He sees the bound!ess
effects of his life upon those nearest TO
him.
He sees that everywhere and always
man wiehout God has been failure,
but man with God is great, and by
penitence, by prayer ard trust and love
he leans upon the strong arm of the
infinite Christ.

There is no devil who divides the

careless, greedy, misusing benehceur

rem knowledge. There are devils

Evil abides. The church and so

against evil men and evil women. The
devil against which the church ought

CHURCH KEEPS ITS HOLD.


Are the churches losing their hold
upon the people? They are not, nor
can they. Christ said Of the church.
The gates of he'll shall not prevail
against it." The church is doing what
it was established TO do. The cry that
the church is losing its hold upon men
is wholly owing TO misrepresentation Of
what the church is and what it exists
for.
What is a church,
Simply an assembly or association OF
true believers in Christ. The exercises
of the primitive church were praying,
singing, observance of the memorial
feast of the Lords supper, and, in a
word, the simple, spontaneous express
sion of life Of trust and communion
with God. There have probably al
ways been churches of this type. and
in the main the Disciples. Baptists.
Brethren and some other bodies are 50

and intellectual progress.
Heaped up Goals glow, but scattered
embers die. The church was meant to

truth and righteousness.
Both the ends for which the church
was planted have been accomplished
and are being accomplished to-day.
There IS no hint in the New Testament
that the church was intended or ex-
peeted to gain the hearts Of all men or
even Of most men.

Dean Henry in addressing the commit
tee on agriculture commented upon the
remarkable fact that it was the farmers
and agriculturists of the State that were
asking for appropriations with which to
supply the agricultural college with
blooded stock and to make experiments
with tobacco. Heretofore it was neces
sary for Dean Henry to assume the en-
tire burden. but the agricuturists have
become convinced Of the great value Of
the college and one of the consequences
is certain to be that there will be little
difficulty in securing necessary appropfI ia
tions in the future. The farmers win
attend to that themselves. Ore visit to
Dean Henry's college is all thet Is neces-
sary to convert even g most skepttcal
critic into an enthusiast: at least that
has been the experience Of members of
the Legislature who have taken tie trou-
BILE TO make the rounds. The thing that
Is impressing the members most greatly
is the Intense pracficability Of the course.
The short course, that designed particu
larry for the farmer boy, is particularly
commended. and the opinion is unani-
nous that 1t will be but short time
before the agricultural college will com
pletely revolutionize the agricultural in
dustry. improving it in a way that would
be absolutely impossible by any other
means.

Milwaukee physicians are up in arms

which proposes to give TO the State Uni
versity the bodies of paupers and those
of persons whose relatives do not care TO
provide burial. The bill provides that
Immediately upon the death of Daupers
or of persons whose bodies are unclaimed
the authorities having charge of the
same. whether 1t be the coroner or sup
erintendents of the poor farms or asy-
lums, shall notify the chief of the ana
tomical department of the university and
then. if desired, the body is to be sent
to Madison to be used for scientific pur-
poses. At the present time the bodies
of paupers are turned over to the various
medical colleges for scientific purposes.
If the bill passes it will cut off the sup
ply of the Milwaukee medical colleges
TO the great detriment of those nstitu-
tons, and will, in addition. result in adj
ditional cost to the county, for in qddi-
ton to paying telegraph tolls the county
will have to pay the expenses of sending
the bodies to the State University. Act

university. There was q good deal of
talk of applying to the Legislature for
an appropriation for that purpose at
