scheme of education that doesn't

give the power ana liberty VI IIuIu
S a farce. The best educated men
sometimes are found who cannot
read nor write. The biggest fool
sometimes is he with sheep skin in
his hand and a sleeps head on his
shoulders. The world around us is
great school house whose doors are
never shut-there is a great teacher
above us who never sleeps. The
speaker illustrated the power Of
truth by the miracles of the loaVes
and fishes. The Master took these
elements of truth and employed them
in miracle. So we can get the ele-
ments of truth and work greater
works than these. Columbus fol-
lowed a small ray of truth and we
are all his debtors. Sickness and
suffering are largely the result OF
| ignorance. The speaker showed how
small pox, diptheria, and many dead
ly diseases have been conquered by
the indefatigable 'searchers after
truth, and so with all the inven-
tions and appliances that make hu-
man life larger and dnappier-all have
been dug from the mines of truth by
patient. laborers.
There were two pleasing musical

has endeared himself to the entire
town by his high, manly Christian
character, and is an inspiring teach
er. He had been thinking of taking
course at Vanderbilt University,
