Lewis, P. G. of NJ. E. Church South,
came next. His remarks were very edi-
fylng, urging the teachers to have a
higher motive than the mere dollar.
DR.. W. w. Lucas, of Meridian, Miss,
came next and, as he always does, set
us to thinking. He said, "that the aim
of the teacher should be higher than to
take the school as mere stepping stone
to something else". Rev. j. E. Holmes,
P. G.. of st. Paul M. E. Church, of Bay

marks.
The further introductions were: Pro-

CARDINAL GIBBONS ON GRAND OPERA.

~ Baltimore, Md, March 5.-Cardinal
Gibbons today, during talk on "Cath-
olic Observance of Lent" before the
first meeting of the Cathedral Christ
Child Society, rather startled some of
his hearers by "Grand Opera ruling.
At the close of his address the cardinal
answered two questions that had been
sent to the president of the society.
The first was: "May Catholic be
married during Lent?"
The cardinal said: "It is certainly not
an appropriate time, as some of the
blessings of the church are withheld
during Lent, but if there is urgent need
that the ceremony should be performed
during this season, such as if the BRIDE
groom to be must leave Immediately for
sea, the wedding may take place during
Lent, but it should be very quiet.
To the second question: ISIS it sin
for Catholic to attend grand opera
during holy week ?' the cardinal said:

Meeting Gulf Coast Colored Teabher.' Association

The Gulf Coast Teachers Association,
which met in Bay St. Louis, Miss, on
Feb. 10Th, 1908, held its session at COL
ored Public School.
This association was organized one
year ago at Pass Christian, Miss, with
Prof. A. E. Perkins as its prime mover,
and the indications are the project will
prove to be wise one.
The object, as stated on its last pro-
gramme, fully sets forth the various
purposes for which it was organized,
viz: The more thorough preparation Of
teachers, the securing of better salaries
and the closer affiliation of teachers.
The association will hold its meetings
quarterly, selecting at each meeting the
the place for the next. From the be-
ginning it has been success. The
three counties, Jackson, Harrison and
Hancock, furnish the teachers for this
association, nearly all of which were
present at its recent meeting.
The association met promptly at 10
O'Clock, with Prof. j. w. Randolph,
principal of the Pass Christian Public
School, in the chair. The roll was
called, and fully forty members ans
Wered to their names.
Apart from the teachers, the follow
ing personages were present. and gave
words of cheer and instruction:
Prof. r. S. Bailey, NJ. D., A. M,
principal of the Bay St. Louis High
School and superintendent OF Bay ST.
Louis city schools. His address on
9 Mistakes In Teaching made lasting
impression on the teachers.
Prof. Jno. Craft, B. S., county super
intendent of education, spoke highly of
the movement, put his endorsement up
on it and promised to do what he could

The naked truth was ours, that needs no

Strange flowers were near us-nameless

And strange old cities-were they quick
or dead?
We met-we two-the when or why or
how
Matters no more That golden hour is

But ineffaceable its glory fingers
AS melodies survive their primal singers.
