children to Christ, shall we not by
prayer first consecrate our own selves
to his dear name2
And now a closing word of warning
Like John. let us be careful that
we remain faithful to Christ unto the
end. Oh, that we might all, as young
as middle aged, and as old men and
women, cling close to the Master
What do mean by this? Why, l sim
ply want to warn you against the
sets for the gray haired, as well as fol-
the youth of the raven locks.
This is no useless "red light" which
am throwing over the rocks lining the
jagged shores of eternity. When we
were young our friends were continual
ly warning us against sin. But when
we became older, when we made a
success in life, when we became min
listers in the pulpit or elders by the
communion table or mothers of grown
up daughters, the people seemed to
think we were safe. Are we? Was
Solomon safe? Was David safe? Are
you safe, oh, father or mother? What
is the sin that is reckoning to you now!
o God, 1 have often prayed for thee to
save me from the sin of youth. Father,
1 now pray to thee to save me from
the temptations of the thirties and of
the forties and of the fifties and of the
sixties and of the seventies, and, Lord,
from the temptations of the eighties.
Thou didst guard and keep st. John
the pure, noble Christian that he was,
clear on into the twilight of life. Guard
and keep me from the sins of mature
manhood. Though l may be thy serv-
ant to proclaim thy name in thy pull
pit, make my faith that Of little child.
And this | ask in the name of Jesus
Christ, who was with the aged st. John
in Asia and on Patmos, and who was
also with st. John in the banquet hall
Of the last supper when he was a
young man.
God keep our children from sin. God
keep our young men from sin. God
keep us when we are middle aged, and
God keep US when old, like st. John,
our eyes are dim and our step is heavy.
May we be like John, the young man,
and like st. John, the aged patriarch.

WnIkinr ON the Wnter.

A pair of aquatic shoes have been
constructed which enable their wearer
to walk on the water as easily as ship
sails the sea. "Canalboats," for sure,
are these water shoes, but when foot
is slipped into each, and the wearer
gives a slight bunch forward with the
body and a deft push with first the
right foot and then with the left, and
the shore begins to slip behind him as
if he were wearing the famed seven
league boots, size is Of no consideration.
A long pull, strong pull, first with one
foot and then with t'other, and he is
slipping down stream as easily and
POLITICALLY and as noiselessly as sneaks
the Indian in his birch bark canoe.

troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,

Caln1aQe
Sermon
By Rev.
Frank De Witt TalInage. d. d.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 19.-In this
sermon the preacher shows us John,
the beloved disciple, in a new light
and as a model of strength, courage
and herosm for Christians of every
age. The text is John xiii, %, 'Now
there was leaning on Jesus bosom one
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved"
No art student feels that he has truly
studied to the best advantage unless
he has sat at the feet of the old mas
tiers. What Mecca is to the Moham-
medans and Benares to the Hindoos
and Jerusalem to the Christians, Rome
and Venice and Florence and Milan
and Paris and Antwerp are to the
young artists and sculptors. So over
come was Michael Angelo when he
first looked upon the wonderful figure
of st. George carved by the sculptor
Donatello on the outside of the church
of San Michel at Florence that for
time he could not speak. Then as he
studied the magnificent proportions Of
that greatest of all the great works of
the Florentine sculptor he raised his
hand majestically and CRIED Nov,
marchp' In these two simple words
the architect of st. Peters, the sculp-
tor of David" and "Moses" and the
artistic creator of 1.-THE Last Judgment"
and of the frescoes of the Pauline
chapel affirmed that the statue of st.
George was perfect in its physical pro-
portions and had everything in its
makeup but human soul.
The works of the old masters are
almost overpOwering; hence we find
that the greatest art schools of the
world are near to the galleries in which
are preserved the immortal pictures
and the statues of the greatest artists
and sculptors of past centuries. The
Louvre has more to do with attracting
art students to the Latin quarter" Of
Paris by the hundreds and thousands
than any other cause. Not day pass
es but you can see scores of young stu
dents, with their easels, copying Mu-
rillo's "Holy Family or his "Assump-
ton of the Virgin" which hang upon
the Louvre's walls. There Rubens and
Rembrandt and Yelasquez and Fra
Bartolemeo and Da Vinci are still as
much art professors as though they
were alive in the flesh. What is true
of Paris is equally true of all the Ital-
ian cities. So much are the models of
Gle ancient artists sought after for

no inspired writer before or since has
ever been able to do. Where can we
find such awful descriptions of eternal
punishment as in his book of Revela-
ton? Where such denunciation Of sin
and eternal death as in his apoca-
lypse and his visions? If you would
be an apostle like st. John you must
be an uncompromising foe of evil as
well as one who breaches the love and
the pardon and the mercy and the for
giyeness of Jesus Christ.

If there is any one country of civil
liked Europe that Is away behind her
sisters in her treatment of the fair sex
it is Bavaria most asSuredly. There
all the hard work falls TO the women,
while men, 1t seems, are at best super
intendents of their labor. The femi-
nine portion of the population of this
strangely unprogressive country makes
it's living by saving wood, carrying
mortar and bricks and even doing all
the manual labor of building houses.
Even the municipality itself encour-
ages the employment of women along
these lines by allowing the tramway
company to hire women for cleaning
out the tram rails. Indeed, in Munich
especially, women seem to have re-
placed men in all those harder kinds of
labor which are always intrusted to
the stronger sex in other more pro-
gressive and civilized communities.

Sport in Medieval English Schools


Probably the oldest English schools
were the London schools described by
Fitzstephen, who wrote in 1174. He
gives interesting details of the lighter
moments of school time. We hear of
scholars who on certain privileged oc-
casions attacked their schoolmasters

sports of their time. On Shrove Tues
day each boy brought his fighting cock
to school. and they had cockfights all
the morning in the schoolroom and aft

of the suburbs. Every Sunday in Lent
there was a sham fight, some of the
boys being mounted, the rest on foot
At Easter they played at the water
quintain, while on summer holidays
they practiced at archery, leaping,
wrestling and stone throwing and in
winter slid, skated and went TO bull
bats and hog fights. No doubt the
London schools had their severer side,
and the life was not quite such n round
of dissipation as 1t reads. - London
