We never cease to wonder and admire in the
midst of the growth of the green world. Every
thing that has life is shooting upward with a
marvellous growth. 1t is wonderful that it all
should come out of the brown, cold earth 1t
is natures miracle of a resurrection from the
dead. And the growth is so vast and so various
irresistible and so beautiful 1t is a delight
and an inspiration to live in the midst of all
these growing things. They cannot help grow
ing. They are starting in races, one with the
other, these plants and shrubs and trees each
to reach its own end in the shortest time.
These verses Of devout aspiration were writ
ten by the Rev Maltbie d. Babcock:
o, THAT 1 MAY GROW!
that 1 may grow
l see the leaves outpushing hour by hour
With steady joy the buds burst out afower
Urged gladly on by Natures waking power,
that L may grOw
that / may grow
What though Time cuts his burrows in my face,
My heart may add grace unto grace,
Graces with added days still keeping pace
that 1 may grow

The closing of the jamestown Exposition on
the Lords Day is an issue that is before Con-
gress and before the people, and the final de-
cisiOn of the former is likely to be determined
by the expressed wish of the latter Surely no
argument is needed to convince us of the serious
obligation to honor the Lords Day by resting
from toll and refraining from pleasure-seeking
ON the day that he calls his own, and which
he has hallowed for the welfare of his people.
Ihe tests of history have fully shown that the
blessings of national prosperity and security
are conditioned upon reverence for Gods posi-
tive command enjoining that his dav be kept
holy. People of other parts of our country
are laying upon the South the burden of re-
sponslbility in determining the decision of this
question, and our people cannot afford to dis
appoint their confidence through neglect The
bills before the two branches of Congress ask
ing for large appropriations both provide for
Sunday closing. 1t will be our duty to see that
this provision is retained permanently in those
bills, as one condition on which the appropri-
atlons are made. All citizens who believe in
Sabbath Observance should petition their repre-
Sentatlyes IN congress in behalf of the CLOSING
OF the gates Of the Exposition on that dav. and
thus acknowledge the supremacy of him "wbo
giveth us richly all things to enjoy" and tells
us that the day of rest ''is made for man.
An appeal from DR.. Wilbur F. Crafts. of the
International Reform Bureau asks the people to
petition representatives in Congress in behalf
OF closing the gates of the jamestown Expo
sltlon on the Day of Rest The measures now
before congress simply contemplate CLOSING
the exhibits and places of amusement IT
allows military and naval displays and many
other things not specified The appropriation
Tor the st. Louis Exposition was made ON the
condition that the gates be closed All petitions
III oehaIf OF Sunday rest at Tie jamestown Ex-
position SHOULD specify closing the gates. and
prohibiting naval and military displays.

Our last report from Mr.. Sweets of the collec-
tions for the Endowment Fund for Ministerial
Relief shows the total amount on hand to be
$34, ,942.9O. AS this is to be duplicated by
generous friend in Atlanta it means an endow-
ment on hand of about $40, 900, whick will itself
yield an income of great value in the sup
port of superannuated and infirm ministers. But
if the full 100000 is contributed it is to be
duplicated, making a fund of $2OO,OOO the
endowment it is hoped to reach. A great thing
will be accomplished for our church, and the
good men who serve it for many years to come.
1t is now decided that the Synod of Georgia
is to establish thoroughly equipped and high
grade college to be located at Atlanta The
Synod's Committee are considering a number of
sites in and around the city, and will soon de-
eide upon the exact location This enterprise
is successor to the university plan which was
proposed to the last Assembly, and which the
Assembly did not think it wise to adopt The
friends of TIE college hope that the liberal sub
scriptions made to tie university movement
will be renewed in behalf of the college The
plans for the institution call for the investment
Of 100000 in placing it upon a substantial
basis, and contemplate its extension finally, into
a great university The ministers and people
of Atlanta and the Synod of Georgia are ad-
mirably qualified to carry forward such an en-
terprise to a splendid completion

From staff Correspondent.
Winona, Mimi, Oct. 24.-The state
board of control would have the. girls
training school removed from it's pres
emit location to a place where it will be
entirely independent of the boys train
ing school. 1t, wants the separation
of sexes.
This was the message that L. A.
Rosing, the president of the state board
of control, brought to the State FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs this morning.
The new training school for girls, ex-
planned Mr.. Rosing, should have cot
date twenty-four girls and each with
its own kitchen, dining room and laun-
dry, where the girls could be trained
in housekeeping.
minnesota Stands we'll in reforma-
tory work. he said, "but it must not
be content to stand. It must move
ahead. The change in the name of
the school from reform school to train
ing school indicates on the part of the
management and legislature the recog-
milton Of the fact that the children
taken there are not criminals.
Pointer for Club Women.
"Club women should devote their
time and thoughts to providing schools
in large cities for those who have COM
mitted no offense but who are in mani
fest DANGER continued Mr. Rosing.
"Such school should be in every city
urged upon mothers to impress upon
their children's minds the necessity of
self control in order to resist tempta-
ton. a. d.. =
''When the club women make a suf-
fcient demand for separate school for
girls the legislature will give it to. them
and not before,' concluded Mr.. Rosing.
Mrs. G. H. Higbee Of st. Paul made
her report of the legislative work which
is concentrated on the securing of this
separate school. Mrs. Russell R. Dorr
of st. Paul, chairman of the industrial
school committee, reviewed what had
been done in the past three years since
when an appropriation Of 100000 was
asked. The club women would be glad
if the legislature would give them
$4,000 to purchase site as q begin
ming.
'FIn five years after the separation
Of the schools we will prove to Red
Wing that the boys school is stronger
and better for the removal Of the girls ,
school, prophesied Mrs. Dorr.
Whittier In Favor of Separation.
A letter was read from F. A. Whit
tier, superintendent Of the Red Wing
school, in favor of the separation, and
Mrs. F.. H. Barnard Of Minneapolis was
also a speaker. 5>,$5s ..Es'sssss{;:s
The club women were implored TO ask
the representatives from their district
to discuss the measure on it's merits and
not on politics when it is presented to
the legislature next winter.
The federation has added a custodian
of its property to the list Of state Of
fcers, and the first woman to hold the
new position will be elected tomorrow.
