HIS FUNERAL SERMON.
A Clergyman's Experience In a wild
BacLWOOds District.

A CIergyman's Experience In a Wild
BacIxwOOds District.
The other day a clergyman suddenly
was called upon to go to a backwoods
district in a neighboring state to read
the funeral service over the body Of a
friend who had died while on a visit to
the farm which he had left many years
ago as small boy. It was a wild re-
gion. Within miles Of the abandoned
farm there was no church and only one
small "red schoolhouse," where there
was teaching for three months in the
winter. 1t was a primitive community
and the people came to the funeral over
roads unmended and leading through
woods which had grown up in what
were once cultivated fields. AL the
best blood Of the region had been
drawn away into the cities. The people
who remained were the Survival Of
the unfittest."
In his hurry to catch the train which
should take him to the nearest railroad
station the clergyman caught up his
hymnal instead of his prayer book. and
when he came to conduct the funeral
service found that he must go over the
Episcopal burial service from memory
as best he could. So, without a book,
he repeated from memory the beau
tiful words of that service, the whole
thing having, 10 the eyes Of the asseJz
bled farmers, the appearance Of an ex
te1nporaneous effort on the parsons
part. Now, the lesson always read al
such services is that magnificent essay
on death by st. PAUL Corinthians
XIV, 20-beglnning, ''Now is Christ riser
from the dead and become the frs
fruits of them that slept" 1t is th'
longest single part Of the service, anC
the congregation listened breathlessI
to it. After the funeral a delegation O
farmers and their wives came to tn,
clergyman, and the spokesman said:
"That was the best funeral sermon
we ever heard. We want to thank yol
for it,"
They thought it was original.
Yes replied the astonished clergy
man; ut has been preached before ant
has always been considered rathe
good. am glad you liked it."
Now he is sending Bibles out into thi
'heathen town. and collecting none
for missionary work there. "A peopl
so appreciative Of the words Of 81
Paul" says the clergyman, "ought rea
ly to have an occasional chance to rea
them and hear them."-'New Yor
Press.

On April 2 the first trains ran
through the Slmplon tunnel. Engineer
Brandau, who had directed the work
on the tunnel. took the train in from
the Italian side and reached the lron
door which had been erected to stop
a flow Of hot water and which still
kept the two sections asunder. Pres
emily the train from the Swiss end was
heard beyond the door. By means OF
hammering the two parties communi-
Gated with each other, and in a rev
minutes the door was knocked down
and the tunnel was open. Mr. Rose
mund. the engineer in charge Of the
work on the Swiss side. shook hands
with Mr.. Brandau. Bands played the
Swiss anthem and the Italian royal
march. The italian bishop embraced
the Swiss bisAop. who then preached a
short sermon and asked Gods blessing
on the tunnel and all the human good
will and good labor which 1t repre-
sents. This was a dramatic and devout
Inauguration OF a great work in which
the whole world is interested. The
formal opening OF the tunnel will not
occur for some months.-YOuth's Com

Studies.

Studies.
Ifit is really fact that modern civil
lized children are born with nervous
,issue of finer fiber and Therefore more
irritable than that found in more primi-
five cultural states it is condition TO
he given most serious consideration.
We are no longer justified in arranging
,cbooYwork as though all the little ones
were as phlegmatic as Indian babies,
The natural environment of chiidhood
IS untrammeled freedom in the open
air.
The explosive shouts emitted as soon
as a child is released from a session
prove that 1t has been under an ex-
bausting restraint. OF course this fact
has long been known by intelligent
teachers, who give their little charges
numerous occasions to blow of steam'
but # does seem that much more can
be done than is done.
If it is true that American children
are of a more nervous type than those
of northern Europe we can expect to
find a greater portion of nervous dis
eases among them. 1t is said to be 10
per cent In New York city. If we in
clude cases of bad mentality, and
though the nervous affections alone are
said to amount TO but IL per cent, we
are safe in assuming them to be much
more numerous if we include the great
class of nervous little bodies which
should be out rolling in the sand IN
stead Of sitting bolt upright on hard,
uncomfortable bench.
The present mania of the American
mother to educate her babies long years
before it is time is merely one of the
evil results Of our system, and since 1t
is not possible to convince her Of the
harm done by such confinement the
problem before the school authorities
seems to be to make the first few years
of school approximate, as nearly as
discipline will permit, the rollicking
natural life of the babies in their
charge.
After all it will remain for Americans
to show the European world that a big
share Of the nervousness and i'll health
of school children is due to eye strain,
a truth as important as it Is neglected.
