A thoughtful Address.

The Rev. A. j. Mock, Rector of st.
James Church, Titusville, Pa, de-
livered a thoughtful address in EN-
manuel Church on Monday evening.
His subject was "Criticism of the
Spirit of Modern Education" and in
substance it was plea for the recogni-
tion of the claims of more liberal and
complete culture than the speaker dis
Germs in our present strenuous, selfre-
liant American life. Strenuousness,
self-reliance and honesty are virtues
that we cannot do without, and these
are possessed by the American people
in larger degree than by any other
nation. Butitis a mistake, the speaker
argued, to think that our civilization
contains all the desirable elements of
life. The reaction against the Puritan
regime in the seventeenth century was
proof of the failure of a one-sided
ideal OF life permanently to satisfy
humanity. Our American life is far
indeed from being so bare and repel-
lent as was the Puritanism of the
seventeenth century; nevertheless,
when compared with life in it's fulness,
our present civilization falls short of
completeness.
