TEA DRINKING IN ENGLAND.
Cups We're Small When Contents OF
Twenty-Five Were Drunk Daily.

That Great Britain stands at the

United Kingdom. English, Scotch.

The One Object or Education.

At one time when Elihu Root, our
present secretary of state, was prac-
Using law in New York City, he was
engaged in case that involved the
question of anilinc dyes. Tho sub
iect is one of the most difficult IN
the entire realm Of chemical science
and Mr.. Root knew nothing about
il whatever. But that made no diff
ference. For two weeks, day and
night as it were, he studied that
subject until he had mastered it and
he then when into the court room,
cross-questioned the experts and won
his case. How could he do it?
Simply because he had trained, dis
ciplned mind that was able to mas
ter AIRY subject however difficult and
abstruse
1t is the object of an education to
enable boys and girls to do this very
thing. What is learned in the class
room is only a fragment, beginning.
They are expected to be able to go
on and study by themselves and for
themselves. In the realm OF litera-
ture the works studied are not sup
posed to give the scholar an accur-
ate knowledge of literature. They
are merely to cultivate the power of
discrimination and the taste for the
best. 1t is of triting importance
whether a scholar knows a concrete
poem such as Gray's "Elegy," it is
of supreme Importance whether a
scholar knows the good from the bad
and has learned to love the good.
From this illustration we see the
true object of education. 1t is the
development of an individuality. 1t
is not to teach a child all that the
child will need to know, it is simply
to prepare the child for self develop
ment and individual initiative. What
the school can teach is only a tritle,
but if the child has learned how 10
study, how to think, and how to
discriminate the education has been
successful one. Unfortunately in
this very respect the system often
breaks down. - Baptist Common

Rare Forms OF Courage.

am aware that orderliness and
punctuality are not usually regarded
as forms Of courage. But the essen
tial element of all courage rs IN
them-the power TO face disagree
able present in the interest of de-
sirable permanent ends. They are
far more important in modern life
than the courage to face bears or
bullets. They underlie the more
spectacular forms of courage. The
man who cannot reduce to order the
things that are lying passively about
him and endure the petty pains incl
dental to doing hard things before
the sheer lapse of time forces him
80 action, is not the man who will
be calm and composed when angry
mobS are bowling about him, or
who will go steadily on his way when
greed and corruption, hypocrisy and
hate, arc arraycd to resist him. For,
whether in the quiet of study and
the routine Of an Office or in the
turmoil Of a riot or a strike, true
courage is the ready and steadfast
acceptance Of whatever pains are in
cidental to secure the personal and
public ends that are at stakc.--Prcsi.

We arewont to,speak of this era

Nevertheless, few people realize

came as 1t were great drops OF blood
falling down upon the ground. Ana
God heard and answered His prayer
by sending an angel from heaven'
strengthening Him.
Jesus was not, here, seeking to
bend His Fathers will, but asking
God for strength to reach the cross.
and God sent an angel in answer to
that prayer. This is the scriptural
account of why our Lord was IN
agon :. This cup, which Christ was
drinking to the dregs. was the cup OF
Gods wrath upon the sins OF men.
Christ was drinking the bitterness
of the cup In our stead. His bloody
sweat was sprinkling, an antici-
pated atonement. upon the very
ground which had been Cursed" be-
cause of mans sin. No imagination
can feel. no words can describe the
agony that Christ HAD to bear in
Gethsemane.
So why need we search our imagi.
nations and try to manufacture mys-
terious explanations why Christ
made this prayer when the answer

in the very account ITSELF in the
necessity of the angels appearance?
When Jesus said, mot My will,
but Thine, be done" He resigned
Himself to Gods will. If He Should
die of agony, it was Gods will, but
,e prayed that this cup. should pass
from IN. But His atoning death
was not to be there in Gethsemane,
in the night, but He was to be lifted
upon the cross of Calvary in order
that all men would be drawn unto
Him.
We know that Christ's was a sensi-
tive nature but this is not saying
that He was not brave. And there is
no reason to believe that He, in anti
cipation of His death, would yield
to the thought any more than an or
binary man. So, therefore, because
He suffered "even unto DEATH" as
He did. in the Garden OF Gethsem-
anc. is in .tself an argument that He
was bearing more than the antici-
patton.
So. therefore. let us not confound
Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to
lack of fortitude or bravery. Our
Lord was no stole. He here felt that
His physical body was giving way
under an agony which no language
can describe.
Throughout the whole Old Tesla
ment period God, under the Levitical
code o. laws. educated His chosen
people to the fact that without the
shedding of blood there was no re-
mission of sins. Allthese forms of sacri-
fetal atonement of the sins OF Israel
>re typical of Christ, the Lamb OF
God. And can it be supposed for
one moment that our Lord did not
fully realize this in Gethsemane?
And throughout the whole New Tes-
lament gospel. it is plainly stated
everywhere that our peace is through
the blood of the cross. Surely then
that great Paschal Lamb of God that
was to take away the sins of the
world did not hesitate nor falter at
the approach Of the atonement by
the shedding OF His blood upon tAe
cross 1t was for the JOY that as
set before Him that He endured
the cross and despised shame. and
He won thereby His seat at the right
hand of the throne of God.
The staggering Of Christ's physical
body underneath this tremendous
burden -,ust not be mistaken .or
faltering of His will.

RESPONSE SHOULD BE LIBERAL

The call made yesterday by the non- partisan committee for funds should meet with a prompt and liberal re- snonse. There is much to be done to get the issues of the campaign before the peop.e of the north. There will be hundreds of voters next August who have DO, livtd in Alaska as long as have the people of Skagway and who have DO, gtvea Alaskan affairs so much attention. To make the campaign that has been tuaugurated in favor of self government effective all the people mus, be made to understand the appIi- cation of the present campaign to the principle involved. That will require a great deal ot energy and work and some money. Let the issues be made plain to every body and the result will take care of itself. Americans will DO. vote agaius, selt-government and for taxation without representation if they know 1t. Iyis up to us to make it plain tha, the politicians would fool them oa thi. question.
