One evening last autumn | had the
pleasure of being a guest in a great
school for girls. The school building
which is ample and beautiful, stands
on a hilltop and all around it are acres
of garden and meadow, with a lake
where the girls row in summer and
skate in winter; trees under which
they walk and every beautiful condi-
ton that can make the surroundings
ideal. Within, the accommodations
match the fair outside, and l have
rarely seen anything more beautiful
than the assemblage of those girls in
chapel at their vesper service. To me
the hour l liked best was one at the
close of the day, when l sat in the
middle of a crowd of girls, a few seat
ed on chairs and sofas, but most on
the floor, a throng of bright faces.
eager and responsive, that shall
never forget.
Looking at those winsOme school
girls, / seemed to see beyond them a
much larger throng. girls whom l meet
every week, although l do not actu-
ally touch their hands, nor hear their
voices. To this great company of girls
who shall presently be the young
women of the future, l have a little
sermon to preach to-day. The old
fashioned way was to divide ermon
under three heads. l am taking this
way, and my first head is
Pluck.
Unless a girl has pluck, she will find
herself many a time at odds with life.
1t requires pluck of no mean order to
sit in a dentists chair and endure the
agony known as treating a tooth. 1t
requires pluck to go with a little Sis
ter or brother to this same friendly
adjunct of the family, and sit by while
the little victim has teeth Strengthened
or a tooth removed. Pluck is far more
necessary when the difficulty is not
merely physical, but is moral and calls
for the kind of courage that makes one
bear reproof patiently. or speak the
truth when to do so may make one I'M
popular. Without real, genuine pluck
few of us can get through the days
work with credit. Sometimes pluck
is needful when one has to wear much
mended gloves or a shabby gown, or
when one faces the fact that she can
not have the luxuries that are as
common as air and water in the ex-
p~erience of her neighbor. Pluck is not
given to us all at birth. Some Of us
are naturally great towards. We
shrink from pain and trouble of every
variety, and want a cushioned seat for
every journey. Fortunately, pluck
may be acquired. If we have not very
much to begin with We may easily
get more by the simple method of cul,
tivating what we have. l would have
my girls brave INT fearless, feeling
perfectly SURF of their ground, If they
are in the right, and dreading nothing
except being in the wrong.

RON time to time we have efforts to establish a limit to the
freedom of the press. Such efforts have never been success
full in the atmosphere of the American republic.
No man questions the fact that some of our newspa-
pers have disgraced their high office as purveyors OF news
and leaders of public opinion. And yet the evils of a tfrot-
tied press have always been greater to the mind Of the
American citizen than the license or venom of the obscene
journalist. And SO our press has remained absolutely un-
fettered.

Perseverance,


You all remember the little rhyme
that you were taught almost as soc
as the alphabet, "If at first You don't
succeed, try, try. again." The lesson
in this bit of homely verse is one for
you and me. Beginnings are easy
enough; we start out with a fair wind
and a flowing sail, and our boat goes
dancing over the waves, but the true
test comes when we have to row
against wind and tide, or to manage
our course when the storms beat and
the winds ave. To drop the metaphor.
most of US enjoy taking the initiative
with a new study or a new enterprise.
Our commencement is with enthusi-
asm, but presently we reach irregular
verbs, or abstruse problems, and u
ardor dampens. Very likely some of
you could show, If you chose, beautiful
pieces of embroidery and knitting or
which you have made a fair start.
The place that tires n and tries ones
mettle is in the middle of the road. or
the middle of the task Those who
begin well, keep on well, and finish
well. gain the laurels and wear them
with honor. !,
Perseverance tells on your monthly
or quarterly reports as examinations
never do. The real test of ability in
any line is just here: Is the student
easily daunted or does she hold fast
with an iron grip until she has ac-
complished what she undertakes?
AS u favorite Longfellow sings:
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving. still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
The twin sister of perseverance is
Patience. You remember, do you not,
the old fairy stories in which the little
princess was set to unravel a terribly
tangled skein, and how she made no
Roadway until a fairy named Patience
came and helped her straighten out
the threads, and lay them side by
side? Let your fairy be named Per-
severance, and if her sister comes to
help her, give a welcome to them
bOln.

Hold General Assembly in India.

The churches of the London Mission
airy Society and the American Board OF
South India and Ceylon have recently
held their first general assembly. This
follows a similar union among Presby-
terrain missions. The assembly repre-
sented 1872 Indian Christians, reclaimed
from idolatry. The Protestant Chris
tians Of Jaffna, Ceylon, number 1900,
and those Of the Madura mission of the
American Board about $500. This new
step toward union is another indication
Of the direction in which Christians are
moving.

Jesus as a Worker.

Jesus Christ not only preached the
Gospel; He lived it, He worked it.
Words of love and deeds of love wen.
hand in hand together. He preached
the Word, He healed the sick. He
came down from the pu.pit and en-
tered the hospital. Such was His
whole life. He preached; He was
beneficent; He was philanthropic.
His own life was the best commentary,
on His preaching. And ii the Chris
tianity CT to-day is t be known as
the Christianity of Christ, it must BE-
characterized by deeds as well as
words,

AN APPEAL FOR THE FARMERS

The recent statement by Supt.
Moore, of the jamestown insane hos
pital that the number of male
patients now entering this institution
except those of the opposite sex by
about two to one, gives rise to a
serious thought.
In the early days when the North
Dakota prairies were bleak and bare
and neighbors were miles and miles
distant from each other the percentage
Of women going insane was much
greater than at present. There was
reason for it. Acute lonesomeness
leads to insanity and the women

ranch animals while the husbands
rustled for fuel or made long and
risky trips to market, with most
cherries surroundings, temporary
and uncomfortable houses, no trees,
no flowers, no fences-nothing but
sky and land as far as the eye could
see-with these conditions, no wonder
that in the pioneer days more women
went insane than men.
Now the prairies are NOTED with
comfortable homes, surrounded by
shade trees. Comfortable houses and
spacious barns are seen on every
hand. The farmers are now "near
neighbours" they have schools and
churches; they have social gatherings
and in many localities the farms are
fenced and some of the New England
luxuries in the way of fruits and
flowers abound; the farmers have
good horses and carriages and the
wife and children make frequent trips
to trade centers leaving the head of
the family attending to his farm work.
What a transformation, and still the
busy, faithful, plodding housewife is
not appreciated as she should be-.
Hers is a narrow world at best. Her
work is never done. Her efforts, her
labor, her constancy constitute the
foundation, the very essence of the
success of the husband. She con-
tributes literally, she receives of life's
pleasures sparingly.
God speed the day when greater
equality will mark the progress Of the
world, when men will be more con-
siderate and tender, more appreciative
and ughtful-when they will more
literally divide their diversions and
pleasures, more equitably apportion
the luxuries as we'll as necessities
with the household.

WAR AGAIN
Japan Expects More Trouble
 With Russia

Victoria, June 2O.-J. F. Kennedy, utill recently pu 7lisher of the Japan Ad- yertiser, of Yokohama, who arrived today by the steamer Fremont, said there was a general impression in Japan that another war with Russia would be fought before many years; in fact, as soon as Russia could recover for another campaign.
 What grounds there was for this he could not say, but he instanced con versation with noted Japanese states men who were of the same opinion.
 Many instances of friction between Russians and Japanese are reported from Manchuria and Niadivostok where ornerous restrictions are being imposed on the Japanese and where twenty-one Japanese were recently arrested and imprisoned as spies.
 Foreign merchants in Japan were considerably worried, MT. Kennedy says, regarding the impending customs tariff which comes into effect in De- tober. He said the whole post beIlum legislation of the Japanese is framed with an idea of busting foreign inter ests. and in Korea and Manchuria every efford is being made to conserve the trade for Japan exclusively.
