BOY SCHOOL TEACHER.
Although But IS Years Old He Lar
ruped IA Pupil Who Was Nearly
Thrice His Weight.

The youngest pedagogue in Missouri,
and perhaps in the United States, is
teaching a country school near Gaines
vile, in the Ozark mountains. He is
| Glenn Harrison, aged Ii years. Glenn
is the eldest son OF Guy 4. Harrison, a
lawyer.
He completed the curse of study of
the Gainesville public schools in March,
1902. The same month he tool the eX-
animation given candidates for third
grade teachers certificates in Ozark
county, making a good average and Sc
curing a certificate. He continued to
study, and just after he became 13
years old he took the examination for
a second grade certificate. This time
his average grade was the highest made,
being 96 per cent. Mr.. Harrison be-
lieved. his promising son was too young
to teach and refused to let him accept
several offers. But one day when his
father was absent attending court,
Glenn took the job of teacher of a rural
district, the directors of which came
and offered him the place. He began
work before his father returned, and
the latter, finding him SO ambitious,
decided not to interfere.
Glenn now has 20 pupils. The major
ity are larger and older than he, but
he maintains a degree of discipline
which many older and more experienced
teachers may well envy. How are
you getting along, GLENN" asked his
mother one day, when he came home
at the end of a weeks work. 81 had

ster replied. 1t turned out that among
others he had larruped an o~bstreperous

This was the penalty which fell upon
Israel because of unbelief and rebel
lien. To-day they might have gone
over into the Promised Land; to-mor-
row they must turn back into the
wilderness. To-day the door of OPP
p%)rtunity stands open before them;
tomorrow it is shut AMI barred
against them. To-day that which
they left Egypt to obtain is within
their grasp; tomorrow that hope has
gone far down into the future.
Unbelief and rebellion could rob the
children Of Israel of the blessing of
God, and unbelief and rebellion can
rob the children of God to-day. And
not only do they rob of blessing, but
they delay the realization of the
plans and purposes of God. Unbelief
and the rebellion resulting therefrorn
pay the penalty of the wilderness Jour-
hey. 1t is weary discipline, the way
seems long and hard, but by and by,
when the discipline is complete, the
Lord leads out to the border of the
Promised Land again. In Israel we
find portrayed the experience of very
many of Gods children. They are
faithfully led by God to the border of
a land OF great opportunities and pos
sibilit{es. 1t is the will and purpose
OF God that they should go up and
possess the land. God y Go
forward But the walled cities look so
in~lpregnable and the giants SO mighty
arG terrible that the heart grows faint.
Cnbelief takes possession and urges
flight back to the Egypt Of former
bondage. Self is chosen captain in
stead Of God, and while rebellion is
keeping the stubborn feet from going
on into the Promised Land, the op-
p~ortunity is lost, and the command of
God is then heard: Tomorrow turn
You, and get you into the Wilderness"
Then 1t is folly to attempt to rush on
Into the Promised Land. Disaster lies
ahead; safety can only be found with
God in the wilderness behind. Let us
seek 10 learn with patience the lessons
God would there teach us.

The Tupelo journal., 1904-01-15

FIRST OF all, let us consider the
l necessity of the wilderness disci-
pine. God had prepared the Children
OF Israel for entrance into the Promised
Land He had unified them and or
gained them into a nation; He had
gwen them a code OF laws, and in
st7ucted them in the true religion.
and now He has led them to the Dor
Ger OF the land He had promised to
give them as an inheritance. 1t was
o wish and purpose that they
Should go up at once and possess the
land, but at the critical men they
failed Him. The opportunity was lost.
They must turn back into the wilder
ness for discipline. God did not want
1t SO. The unbelieving hearts oil the
people Willed it SO. The wilderness
discipline was a necessity because of
their unbelief and rebellion. And il
is SO with Gods children to-day: the
wilderness discipline follows failure to
&C forward and possess the land of
promise just ahead. God has fitted
aid prepared you for certain service.
You stand on the threshold of great
possibilities. This will of God is to be
done and His Kingdom advanced by
your obeying His command: GO for
ward You SEND your spies ahead.
ard soo they return with their sto-
ries OF difficulties and dangers to be
encountered. The cities are walled
and the inhabitants are fierce and
strong. It seems foolish from a hui
man standpoint to hope to go up and
possess the land in the face of such
odds. But two faithful spies, Faith
and Hope, speak up. They see Gods
mighty arm outstretched to sweep the
giants before them and to grind the
walled cities into the dust. They re-
member the promises of God that He
Will give them the land for a posses
sion, and so they boldly plead: LET
us go up at once and possess it; for
we are well able to overcome it"
Bat the spies of unbelief and rebel
lion are loud in their protests. The
conflict is on within the soul between
faith and duty and unbelief and re-
bellion. That was a terrible night
which Israel spent in weeping, and
1t is a terrible night of anguish which
the soul spends when unbelief and
rebellion are struggling for the mas
terry. Every Christian comes face to
face with such experiences. Some may
not be as well defined as others, some
may not be such important crises as
others, but all, ! think, have such con-
fiicts. If faith and duty with the vic
tory there is no need of the wilder
ness discipline, but the soul goes on
to occupy the place and do the work
to which it has been called by God.
But if, as is SO often the case, I'M
belief stills the voice of faith and
self-will thrusts duty aside, hen the
wilderness discipline becomes a neces-
sity. God cannot let the soul go for
ward. 1t must turn back and submit
to the Christening hand of the Lord.
THE purpose Of this discipline was
three fold: Punishment, puriica-
ton and preparation. And these are the
reasons why God to-day drives His chill
dren back into the wilderness. Their
sin of unbelief and rebellion must
be punished. The dross of unholy
desires and purposes must be burned
out of their lives even as the gold
is purified in the fire, and they
must be prepared anew for entrance
into the land of promise. Punish
ment for wrong doing is necessary

discipline? In the wilderness many.
many rebellious souls persisted because
they would not see God. The Lord was
there, but they would not believe it. In
your wilderness experience are you
shutting your eyes to the Lord Who has
been forced to lead you there for your
good? Are you refusing to believe that
He is with you in the suffering, the trial,
the WEAKNESS, the hardship, the danger?
Then remember the children of Israel.
/ See how God made the wilderness a
blessing to them. Because His children
fail Him God does not Danish them to
the wilderness alone. No, blessed be His
mercy and love and great faithfulness!
He goes into exile with us. He, too,
turns His back on the land flowing with
milk and honey and abides with us in
the wilderness until we are again ready

CANADA AND THE
BLACK
WATCH.


 The coming visit of the famous brass and pipe band of the Black Watch, or Forty-second Royal Highlanders, to Canada is not the first time that this regiment will have been in this country. One has to go back to the middle of the eighteenth century, one hundred and fifty years ago, to recall their previous visit, and the glorious part they bore in securing Canada for the British em- pire. It is very interesting coinci- dence also that the famous name of the Royal Highland regiment was con ferred upon the Black Watch on ac- count of their magnificent service at Fort Ticonderoga. The story of their struggle there will be of great interest.
 After taking part in several minor en- gagements in the spring of 175s. the Forty-second was ordered to join a body of troops selected to attacw IT.. conderoga under General Abercromby. The, fort could only be approached from one side which was strongly in- trenehed, the garrison numbering some five thousand men, The assaulting columns were unable to force them selves through the abatis, on account of the many obstacles which had been placed in their way, and suffered haav- fly from artillery and musketry' fire, Whereupon the Black Watch rushed forward from the reserve, llewed their way through the obstacles with their broadsWords, and, no ladders having been provided, made strenuous efforts to carry the breastworks, partly by mounting on each others. shoulders, and partly by placing their feet in holes which they dug with their swords and bayonets.
 After desperate struggle of four hours duration General Abercromby ordered retreat, an order which had to be thrice repeated before the Highland CTS would withdraw. As an eye-wit- ness described them: They appeared like lions breaking away from their chains and, though unable to carry the fort, they earned immortal glory"
 In this one engagement they lost eight officers, nine sergeants and two hundred and ninety-seven men killed: seventeen officers, ten sergeants and three hundred and six men wounded.
 His Majesty George IL, recognizing their splendid bravery and sacrifice. conferred upon the ''Black Watch the title of the Royal Highland regiment. .

WHAT MAKES A TRAMP A TRrMp.

The great cause to which we can attribute the existence of the hobo, lies in an early lack of proper home train ing. It is a sad fact, but nevertheless. a most painfully true one, that multi tudes of parents imagine when they have fed and clothed a child properly that there their duty to him, them selves and society is completed. Of course. they send him to school to be educated; but he is left free to select his own standard of what is worthy and right. He Is never taught that success is solely dependent upon faith ful, consistent effort properly applied and concentrated. He isn't urged to early discover his own talents and capabilities; nor to choose that branch of the worlds work for which he is adapted. He is never shown that the most lasting compensation and happi- ness in this world, lies irsthe successes and recommendations which are earned by honest effort in the paths of strict duty and integrity. He sees only the, sweat and grinne and weariness of labor and comparing these with the ap- parent delights, pleasures and easy existences of those whom he knows have a sufhciency of the worlds goods, he draws false conclusions therefron1. He must become rich, and that soon, to escape the disagreeable features of life. Possibly he goes to. work in d shop, under parental pressure. His distaste for this slow means of ad- vancement increases to positive hate. He is a failure. He hasn't chance in this, 9bum'' old town. He ifiiagines other places better; and feels he must seek these new, alluring pastures. He hasn't the money to pay his fare. but other men have used freight trainss for vehicular purposes, why not him? He ultimately goes.

We have been hearing of a boy who thought ne would like to be natural fst if he received satisfactory encour- agement from his parents. A micro scope had been given him on his tenth birthday and, forsaking all other inter- ests, he devoted himself to the study of nature with such ardor that when dln- ner was announced on the first day he was much excited over his newly ac- quired knowledge. and sought to give it out for the entertainment of the peo- pie at the table. Guests were present. and, turning to the lady nearest to him, with smiling face he inquired:
