"Some Visions of Lifen

The congregation Of Trinity Methodist
Episcopal Church was addressed last even
ing by DR.. H. N. Snyder, president Of Wof-
ford College, Spartanburg. 8. c., on the
subject Some Visions of Life" Among
other things the speaker said
ITO every human soul there SHOULD come,
and does come, visions which in the con-
seriousness that life is divine trust, are
to him the very voice Of God. And the first
is the vision Of individual worth and posi-
bility The humanity of Christ is the divine
estimate of the worth Of every man, and
the life He lived, unfolding into iawless
perfection. is the divine suggestion Of hui
man possibility. Still, history is written in
terms Of the effort to enable each individual
to get at and unfold the wealth Of his own
nature. Back of our political notions Of
free equality, back of the struggle to re-
arrange the social order that every man
shall have the same chance. back of our
dream Of an open school-house for every
child born in the world. pulsates this Christ
estimate of the essential value of every hu-
man life regardless of rank or class or
condition

EDITORIAL
CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

The Progressive Farmer goes to press too early
to give an outline of Judge Parker's letter of &C
ceptance-and this bids fair to be the chief topic
of discussion for some days to come. Judge Par
ker has heretofore been entirely too mild-manner-
ed and soft-spoken in his public utterances to
arouse enthusiasm, and it is to be hoped that he
will put a little Rooseveltian strenuosness into his
letter of acceptance. There was great interest in
the Democratic State Convention of New York
which met in Saratoga last Wednesday, but party
dissensions prevented the nomination of a strong
candidate likely to appeal to the independent
vote. Mr.. Fairbanks published his letter of &C
ceptance Monday, but it contained nothing SEN
sational he is too strict a party man and too cold
and calm in temperament for that. In the Far
East there was continued inactivity of the war
forces. The coronation of Peter Karageorge-
witch as King of Servia was the chief event of the
week in Europe.
