torial board of education of New Mexi-
co and the Sante Fe board of educa-
tion have petitioned Delegate Andrews

The largest campus in the world" is
the claim made for the Michigan Agri-
cultural college, and those who have
seen 1t will readily agree it is the most
wonderful and beautiful besides. On
this large campus there are fifty five
buildings for various purposes. The
original campus was planned and laid
out by Prof Beal, and today it contains
over six hundred species of growing
trees most of which are duplicated sew
eral times and are to be seen In all
stages of development. Besides the
trees there are over two thousand species
OF plants and shrubs, most of them
natives of Michigan. These are confin-
ed mostly to the botanical garden, and
they are tagged with their scientific as
well as common names. A part of the
trees are growing in their native loca-
ton where they were when the land
was purchased by the state over fifty
years ago. The plants and shrubs are
so arranged in the garden that they pre-
sent veritable procession of the
flowers from April to November. These
with the two hundred acres of wood
land belonging to the college furnish
the best and most practical field for
study and experiment for the classes in

SECRETARY BAILEY ON Fatal SIN
Danger of Young Men t. I'm Giving
Heed to Voice of Tempter.

A deeply interested audience crowded the
library room Of the Young Mems Christian
association Sunday afternoon to hear j. p.
Bailey, state secretary, on The Fatal
Sin" Jules Hubbard sang as a solo I'm
the Child OF a King" most effectively. Mr..
Bailey said in part;
while sitting In front Of n Lincoln hotel
some weeks ago and looking down the
street, noticed house that was illumi-
mated more than the ordinary, and also
that only men were entering. I went to
it's vicinity and saw three young men, two
OF whom wanted 10 enter that home OF
hell. The third did not want to go in and
was about 90 turn away when a siren voice
attracted his attention. lie looked back
he hesitated, and he fell.
Man is tempted when drawn away from
his better nature by his own desire. and
there is no man who altogether escapes
temptation more or less powerful The
greatest battle a young man ever fights
is in his own breast, unknown to all the
world. The way he decides in that fight
will largely govern his life in the time
10 come We find that to young men Satur-
day night is the great time of temptation,
when more harm is done than al any other
time. II is at such times that men should
be more on their guard than ever, when
the relaxation comes from the struggle
of the week.
The first chance for evil is when a man
is enticed, the fatal step is when he yields
10 the temptation and falls under the power
Of the serpent. II YOU have yielded you
are under the black banner of death. Sin
cannot be weighed; there is nothing ia
balance it by. Yet there is one who has
promised that though your sins are as
scarlet they shall be made white as snow,
| though they be as crimson they shall be
as wool. Christ the great pardoner. awaits
your repentance. In the year to come pray
to Him for strength to meet and conquer
the temptations that may beset you"

sUPT. DAVIDSON ON SERVICE
Must De n Personal Ideal in All work
to Inspire Best Results.


Superintendent w. NJ Davidson Of the
public schools addressed large audience
at the regular evening services of the
CASTELAR, Street Presbyterian church last
night. His subject was Service"
ITO make our work and effort of value
each one of us must have a personal ideal
by which he gauges the affairs of himself
and Others" said Mr.. Davidson. "In the
purpose of life the ideal plays the highest
part Therefore ideals should be chosen
with care and realized as nearly as posi-
Bile. Service with proper ideals is much
like the great waste of time, owing to
the fact that people are not fitted for the
positions which they enter or assume.
What / have to say in this connection
of ideals to the value of service is sup
ported by the history of the world as IL
has come down to us. There were three
great epochs in the development of the
world. One was with the Hebrews, with
their religious and ethical teachings; an
other with the Greeks in their develop
ment of reasoning; the third began with
Christ and the religious and educational
philosophy that He founded and which
brought into the world the new ideals Of
service
1.-THE Hebrew nation. through its schools
and synagogues, had its ideals of training
that term implies. They thought the end
men and women for righteousness and all
of school life and synagogue teaching
should be the making of men into right
eous human beings, and ell their efforts
tended in that direction. The Greeks APP
piled their educational eXertions to the
development OF reason Their educational
theories neglected religious ideals alto
gether.
with the coming OF Christ a new trend
was given to the educational development
OF the world. This impetus has grown until
in the present century we have approached
more nearly to the ideals involved than
ever before. / think we have measured
up nearer TO the lofty standards of the
Nazarene in His doctrine Of service than
d new one. II is this doctrine which has
had the marvellous endurance past all ar
gument and the remarkable quality OF con-
slant growth. 1t is that doctrine which
has made the world superior TO what il
ever was before"

His INFINITE care. Because He sent a per-
sonal gospel saving not in mass, but man

every wretched sinner.
After the sermon there was praise
service, in charge Of John Dale, and a
short fellowship service, in charge Of E. p.
Bergman. Prayer and song and testimony
occupied the closing hour, and benedic-
ton was said as the old year went out.
