which he has found from time to time
in old hall clocks. Some are terse and

was written in ink that had long
since almost faded away

For I've walked on time for hundred
years.

Many will fall ere my race is run.

and fears.

In another old colonial timepiece was
written
Master, behold me. Here l stand
To tell the hours at thy command;
What is thy wish it's my delight
To serve thee both by day and night.
But master, be wise, and learn from me
To serve thy God as serve thee.

upon the plates of another this bit Of
trite philosophy

How endless seems the strife!
Day after day the restlessness
OF all this weary life!
l come to lay my burden down
That so oppresseth me,
And, shutting all the wcrld without,
To spend an hour with Thee,
Dear Lord:
To spend an hour with Thee.

The bitterness of tears,
The anxious thoughts that crowd MY life
The buried hopes of years;
Forget that woman's weary toll
My patient care must be.

To spend an hour with Thee,
Dear Lord
One little hour with Thee.
The busy world goes on and on

Thy sacred hand is laid upon
My aching. throbbing brow.

How sweet to think that l shall spend

There will be common assent to the
assertion Of President James of North
western that money is needed to make
a great university, says the Chicago
Record Herald, and it is equally true
that a majority of college graduates,
in view even Of their present num-
bers, must take to business life. But
it does not follow that a school Of
learning may not achieve splendid
success because it is not established
on the basis of billion dollar trust,
or that university courses should be of
fered as substitute for an appren-
ticeship in brokers' or lawyers office
or in grocery store or factory. With
great many people who are. giving
serious and intelligent attention to the
subject it is question whether the
great university is after all great
Improvement on the old college. We
state this as fact merely, but may
add that these same people believe
that there are both social and educa-
tional advantages in the lack of num-
bers, and that they represent quite
perceptble If not very effective re-
action against present tendencies. Fur
thermore, it is very clear that the old
debate as to general culture and spe-
cialization is by no means concluded.
While specialization seems now to be
in the ascendant there are vast do
| mains of business in which the scien-
| tific knowledge Of the schools can
never be directly applied, and it Is of
limited application even in quasi-scien-
tiiic pursuits. The college or its uni
versity equivalent cannot give much
more than the general education after
all, and that is probably it's best gift
If special apprenticeship is desired
