special features Sunday morning and
illustrated his sermon, making it especial
ly interesting to the congregation. A
large candle was lighted on a table on
the platform which the pastor called the
Light of God and Our Saviour was He
who sent that light abroad. There were
twelve smaller CANDLES, six each side OF
the large one, which were also lighted.
They represented the twelve Apostles.

the Christians who had long been in the
service of God and a bud represented the

MAY NOT ELECT PRESIDENT.

It seems hardly possible now that the
Board Of Education will elect a President
at the special meeting to be held today.
The contest now lies between Vice-presi-
dent Babbot and Commissioner stern,
with the chance increasing in favor of the
latter. The talk Of Commissioner Coli
lier being a candidate has subsidized, and
the statement of Commissioner Harrison
that he believes Mr.. Babbott should be
elected seem to have taken Mr.. Harrison
out of the race. AS a result the presi-
dency lies between Commissioners
Babbott and Stern.

Temperature of the Bath.

Opinions differ as to the relative
merits of a cold IT a hot bath. The
individual constitution must be con,

that children and elderly persons ought
never to battle In water below 70 de-

main object the water should be from
u degrees to SO degrees. Where the
bath is to serve az a powerful stimu-
liant, as in cases of illness, it should be

American Shoes Abroad.

We do not seem to be making as large
an increase in foreign trade as between
the years of 1899 and 1901, when the in
crease per year was over 81, 900, 900, but
this gradual growth shows that our
footwear is giving satisfaction and is
wanted abroad, says the Boston Com
mcrcial Bulletin. Our shoe manufac-
turers have been faithful in their work
manship, and have given goods up to
sample. This, with the fact that the
styles have taken the fancy of the for
eign trade, has done much to build up
ar foreign trade.
