A cas- of mirror writing has been
brought to light in the Great Bar
rington public schools which Is at

think that the work was a mere
scrawl. Placing the writing before
a mirror, it can be easily read and
the copy is surprisingly plain

the noble man, so lately gone to his
reward, was living by the standard OF
that one who bore the worlds sin and
sorrow, and whose loving heart was
broken n gloomy night in Geth-
semane-Jesus of Nazareth, who
gave to life the new standard of con-
duct. the new conception of duty,
rooted in love. Patton tells us in his
wonderful autobiography that it was
Gods strength alone made him suf-
icient for these things. In his own
words, "But for Jesus and the fell
lowship He ~youchsafed me there, I
must have gone mad and died beside
that lonely grave"
Christian duty is made potent by
the will Of man, and by the power Of
God. The human will plus the Di-
vine power makes it possible to take
that step. Not. What l can. l will;
but, What I will. ! a You remem-
Der when James and John were MAX

they could be baptized with the bap-

Jesus said, Ye shall.
Thus it is for Christians to say.

life. when the work of the Master for
His church and for humanity, needs
their help: Yea. Master. you ca
