The Complete Christian Character.
Corinthians XIV. IS. Therefore
my beloved brethren, be We steadrast,
unmovable, always Astounding in the
work of the Lord, for as much as
We know that your labor is not in
vain in the Lord
All doctrine is profitable for the
Christian life. Hence from the doc
trine OF the resurrection the inspired
apostle deduces the obligation to
bring forth the logical fruits thereof
Therefore, l. e. in view of this great
truth of divine revelation, the res
direction Of the dead, which is the
linal step in the grand process of re-
demption, the completeness Of the VIC
tory over death, be We steadfast, etc. :
The influence of this doctrine should
ever be to develop fully rounded

is that to which the sacred writer
here incites his readers. In order
to realize the Saviors design in their
Christian ealing, they must needs be:
|. Unmoyable in their religious
faith and principles.
II. Unmovable as respects the
hope of the gospel.
III Characterized by activity and
diligence in Christian work.
AS to the first point, their steadfast-
ness relates to their faith, as appears

contact with the profoundest myster-
les of being; mysteries which our
finite minds are totally unable either
to fathom or to solve. Faith is our
only recourse. We must trust the word
OF our Savior or abide in absolute ig-
norance. Rationalism is the vainest
conceit Yet we can easily see how

Heaven begins on earth, in the JOY Of

regarded in the light OF mere personal
adornments. Faith and hope are for
practical use. Nor are they simply
safeguards. but sources of power.
Hence Christians are urged to dill

means that work which has been as

This work will pertain to the culti-

MURDER AND SUICIDE


SALEM, Mass, April 25.-Harry H. Lo-
baron. seventeen years old. today shot
and killed his wife, to whom he was mar
ried in February. and then committed
suicide. A note left by the couple showed
that they had agreed to die together. De-
spondency because the young husband
could not secure employment is ascribed
as the cause Of the tragedy. The shoot
ing occurred in the house of the young
mans father, where the couple lodged.
Death in both cases was evidently instan-
taneous.
Careful preparation for death had been
made by the couple. Nothing in the room
was disarranged in any way.
The notes left were written by the WIFE
Only one Of these notes was made public
by the medical examiner. This note was
pinned to an embroidered shirt waist that
had been laid on q desk in the room. 1t
was addressed to the elder Mr.. Lebaron
and read as follows:
when I am buried, please have this
waist put on me- 1t is the prettiest one I
have and is the one I was married in
Mrs. Lebaron was the same age as her
husband, seventeen years. Her maiden
name was Edna May Sanford

ST. PAUL IN COLLISION
AMERICAN LINER SINKS A
BRITISH CRUISER.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON. April 25.-The American line
steamship ST. Paul and the British cruiser
Gladiator collided in fog in the Solent
today. 1t is reported that number of
lives were lost. The st. Paul has big
hole in her side.
The cruiser Gladiator is standing by
her.
The St. Paul left Southampton al
noon. anu was proceeding slowly down
the Solent in thick mist when the col
lision occurred.
The st. Paul's advance passenger list
contains the names of only twenty-one
first-class passengers. There are no no
tables among them.
The Office of the American line in
southampton was communicated with
by telephone after the news of the
collision had been received in London,
b-t professed entire ignorance Of the
disaster. From another source informa-
ton has been received that the St. Paul
Is returning slowly under her own steam
to Southampton.
A dispatch to the Central News states
that the collision occurred on Yarmouth.
Isle of Wight. and that the cruiser has
been beached.
The Gladiator was run down by the
ST. Paul in a blizzard The Gladiator s
men took to the boats and about $50 of
them were saved, but several lives were
lost. The cruiser is now on her beam
ends off Yarmouth. No one was injured
on board the st. Paul.
The Gladiator's usual complement Is
4SO men. Seventy-fve passengers left
London on the boat train to join the ST.
Paul. The Gladiator had to be grounded
or she would have sunk.
The St. Paul was proceeding at low
speed toward the channel, near the
Needles, in dense snowstorm ,at 2
o'clock. when the Gladiator, apparently
confused by her signals. attempted to
cross her bow The ST. Paul struck her
almost amidships.
The Gladiator Immediately began to
fill. and there was time for only $50 Of
the 204 men aboard to get into the
boats when she heeled over and sank in
shoal water. The remainder Of the
crew, excepting those who had been
killed or injured in the crash. swan

QUEER TEACHING.
A Glimpse of the One Time Methods
In Scotch Schools.

A Glimpse of the One Time Methods
In Scotch Schools.
To the work of supervisor of schools
In Scotland Mr.. John Kerr devoted a
number of years. In his book. "Other
Memories, Old and New" he has set
down some amusing illustrations of the
unintelligent way in which the school
work was sometimes conducted.
The revised code Of education which
was introduced in 1862 made provision
for nothing but reading, writing and
arithmetic in their barest forms. There
was no suggestion about grammar, ge-
ography. history or intelligence in any
study. Explanation of the reading les
son was not demanded, and therefore
1T was neglected in some of the schools.
The following is an example:
The lesson was one giving an &C
count of a clever dog which had res
cued a child from drowning. 1t was
said that the dog was caressed by the
parents of the child. l asked what was
the meaning of the word "caressed,"
and the answer came at once, made
OF fond led"
On referring to the list of words at
the top of the page l found the ex-
PLANTATION given was, made of, fon-
died"
Wishing to find out If any child in
the class had got glmmering of the
meaning went from top to bottom
and got from every child nothing but
"made of fond led" pronounced as four
words, to which they attached no mean
ing whatever.
The teacher was surprised that was
not satisfied with the intelligence of
the teaching.
