Twas the Printers Fault.

In last weeks Press in an article
entitled 'New Teacher Added in
Marion school" we should have said
in the last two sentences "The
school is progressing splendidly and
spirit Of harmony prevails through
out, With the exception of two
teachers, and they bid fair to be
quite successful, the entire faculty
is composed Of the true and the tried
who inaugurated and are maintaining
the nigh standard of proficiency and
thoroughness for which the school
has become famous.
By emitting the period after
the word throughout" the printer
made the article read ga spirit of
harmony prevails throughout, with
the exception of two teachers, etc. /"
when it should have read as above.

trine is rejected by many people is
because it cannot be committed to
human reason. The infinite can no
more be contained in the finite than
that the world could be stuffed in a
grain of bird shot, and this is one
of those great doctrines that God has
given men not to understand but to
believe. Christ was so great man
that he became the pivot of history.
All the works of man are recorded
from the date of his birth, either it
is b. e. or A. d. before or after
Christ. Christ was prophet, he
fore-told the manner of his death and
the destruction Of Jerusalem, which
occurred as he predicted. His teach
ings are superior to all other works
of man. He was the great miracle
worker, and this was an evident tok-
en- of his divinity. Since Christ has
assembled into heaven his work has
gone on through the efforts of his
disciples. His power is exerted over
man the same today as it was when
he was upon earth. Christianity has
done more for Japan than any other
religion that has entered her realm.
1t has done more for woman than all
the pagan religions ever dreamt of
and can do wonders for the indivi-
dual today that surpasses all human
knowledge. These are the things that
teach us that Christ is divine
Christ pronounced woe upon the
cities of Galilee because they had not
taken heed to him when he had done
so many mighty works in their
midst, and they had not repented at
his words. Christ Is the son of God,
and his works testify to that fact to-
day as well as in days of old.

CHURCH NOTES.

Rev. Andres of the Presbyterian
church addressed his people last Sun
day on the subject of "The Divinity
of Christ. The text was taken from
the Gospel of John the l4th chapter
the 18th verse, "Believe that l am
in the Father and the Father in me /:
or else believe me for the very works
sake" These words teach us that the
works Of Christ prove that he is d.
