GOOD WORK
IN "HELL.'S
KITCHEN

The priaseworthy work being conduct
ed by the Y. NJ. c. A In "Helrs Kitchen"
New York city was the theme OF an
interesting address by Bradford Williams
OF the metropolis before the large audi
ence OF men assembled at the regular 4
o'clock meeting under the auspices OF the
local association yesterday afternoon.
The topic might seem little spectacular
but it was the Christian Herald that gave
such a name TO that section OF New York
I'm the downtown slums thickly settled
aye, overrun. by negroes and the wayward
white classes.
He said that poverty prevailed among
the residents OF Helrs Kitchen, and that
II Is actually the meanest place on earth.
a Veritable hell on earth, but that he be-
neved the powe<0f God working through
Jesus Christ would cleanse the spot
lie described the conditions obtaining in
Helis Kitchen. few months ago, saying
that IL was deemed impossible to hold
open-air meetings and preach the Word
of God there, and that IN fact two men
had lost their lives within a year while
endeavoring to preach the gospel in that
section.
The tent services are of the most in
formal kind. Interruptions are frequent,
but through IL all great good was ac-
complished. He had known OF meetings
there held at ~ o'clock, midnight the
NTH service for the day, and the tent
was filled.
Mr.. Williams went on to say that be-
fore he left the meetings were being held
absolutely without opposition. and that
he had the privilege OF seeing l50 appli-
cants for Gods mercy kneeling, black and
white side by side, before the altar. The
value OF open air meetings IN tents could
not be overestimated IN the speaker
opinion as promoting the Gospel OF Christ.

HAD TO HIDE IT

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
so good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheeked. Perhaps
that's why they like it so
they know it makes
them feel good.

Tho academical course was long and
thorough, ten years covering the time
from the primary requirements o.
spelling, ciphering and reading and the
accidence of English grammar, which
gained admission to the academy, until
a boy graduated to enter college or
business life.
The early preceptOrS were stern and
severe, according to opinion of those
who have related their experiences in
connection herewith.
One preceptOr studied law during
school hours and was very impatient If
interrupted in that occupation by the
slightest infraction Of the strict rule
of silence, if annoyed by small fry" in
the front desks, catching up his heavy
ruler he would send it flying with uner-
ring aim against the offenders seat, or
finding the lad within convenient reach
of his long arms, would clutch him by
the ears and haul the frightened culprit
before his chair. In this and times Of
more serious disregard for rules the
preceptor was judge and jury and he
dcftly executed the penalty. The whip
ping in school was a barbarous custom.
The masters instrument of chastise-
ment was a long, smooth-worn, heavy
ferrule and unfortunate indeed was the
boy who took his medicine in that way.
At one time there was a class in sea-
manship at the school. They studied
navigation preparatory to taking the
higher positions in the merchant ser
vice as mates and captains. One of the
early preceptors encouraged out door
sports ard amusements and furnished
a rude gymnasium on the academy
Fairgrounds. Very likely he would
have welcomed baseball and football to
this department as 4 deep interest was
taken in all sports.
Natural philosophy, chemistry, as
tronomy, arithmetic, algebra, Latin
Grammar and Caesar We're included in
the courses of study.
