There is one railroad president and col

NORTHERN CRITICISM
OF SOUTHERN LITERATURE
A Remarkable Sermon--The Discovery of Poetical
Genius by Dr. st. Clair
Mckelway.
BY THEODORE BRYANT KiNcsBuRY.

7 lately read twice a sermon that very
much interested me. l was indebted 10
my friend and brother, Rev. F. M. Sham
berger pastor of Fifth Street Methodist
Church, (the finest of Methodist Church
edifices in our little city,. for the prlvl-
lege of thus reading it. He did me
personal favor in calling nv attention to
the high merit of the discourse which
was preached in June last before Trinity
College, n. c., by Rev. S. Parkes Cad
man, D. D. His name is entirely new to
me- He is an Englishman, and / suppose
is a Wesleyan. But whatever his nation
atty and church relations he is preach
er Of very superior gifts and admirable
learning | have not read sermon IN
year or two that so interested, so en-
gagged the best of my own mental facul-
ties. l read it twice to gather from 1T
all that was possible for me, and to I'M
derstand and appreciate so far as 1T was
capable for me to do the meaning OF that
mastery discourse. l am glad / read it,
for it has breadth, strength precision of
statement, persplcaclty of thought, pro-
found insight into revealed truth, a be-
stowment of research an amplitude of
discussion and all presented in English of
rare quality and excellence. The text Is
from proverbs LILO. III all my ways
acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy
paths" l doubt if so good a sermon
was ever before preached upon those
memorable, impressive words. I am not
sure that sermon of such conspicuous
excellence was ever preached before
North Carolina institution of learning.
The sermon seems to me to be really
highly artistic and most felicitous. 1t
remarkably close, and yet absolut
clear 1t is eminently profound, and yet
logical 1t is replete with instruction and
suggestion and yet very appealing, very
entertaining. A sermon of its ability and
easy, ripe scholarship; of it's lucid and
commanding thoughtfulness; of its fine
elevation of style and yet gracefulness
and appropriateness, is rarely read and
perhaps more rarely heard. 1t is indeed
noble possession and bostowment to
have genuine, refined scholarship and
grace of style, and to know how to employ
them for the edification and blessing OF
mankind. You cannot read DR.. Cadman's
discussion of Acknowledgement and Di
rectien' and think of something else. It
will command all your brain-power aud
human acquisition. l write l think

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL
Proposition viii Be Voted On at the
Special Election.

The proposition to establish q Ford
county high school will be voted upon at
the coming special election to be held
on May 26, the special election called for
the purpose Of electing acongressman to
I'll the vacancy caused by Mr.. Longs
promotion t. the United States Senate
The bill passed in the last Legislature pro-
vides that a site shall be furnished by
Dodge City for proposed high school.
Ford county is settling up very fast at
present and The need for a school which
shall be open to the entire county Is ap-
parent to everybody. Probably fifty
percent Of the pupils over the county
will desire to take a course of study in
advance Of those taught In the district
schools. Nearly all Of them would pre-
fer to attend a school at home, TO one IN
same remote corner Of the state. The
improvement in the educational facilities
Is something that nearly every Kansas
man and woman favors. With the In.
creasing population 10 this county there
will soon be a much greater demand for a
school which will carry the students a
step higher than the district school. If
the county high school is established the
graduates from 1t who SO desire, will be
prepared to 20 from the high school to
the State University, while those who 90
no further will have the benefit of good
practical education.
If the proposition carries 1t would
probably be two or three years before the
county high school could be put In op.
Grafton, and by that time there will be
still greater demand for than atpresent.
