Approves Publication of Letters.

Colonel George Harvey, of New
York, closed his lectures on Journal
ism in the Bromley Foundation at
Yale, New Haven, concluding with a
recommendation for Laboratory of
journalism" In some university. He
said in part:
The newspaper progression is the
most potent for the future guidance
Oh our nation. Is there not some
thing wrong when only three per cent
of the graduates of Yale in recent
years have taken up that profession?
II some wealthy man endowed a
course of journalism in a university
and practical men of wide experience
In newspapers were placed there as
instructors the result would be that
boy who had taken such a course sue
cessfully would walk right into Job
and be the most capable man in any
office that he might go into"
Colonel Harvey commended news
papsrs which print letters from their
readers even when the newspaper has
the courage to print letters In dis
agreement with Its OWE course and
Its own views.

The Life Of Patton.
John G. Patton is often called "the
Apostle to the New Hebrides." Spur
geon called him 1.-The King of the
Cannibals." No missionary ever had
more thrilling story than he.
He was born in Scotland, May "a,
1924. His father was a man of
much prayer, and had a deep infiu.
ence upon him.
Though he worked from six in the
morning till ten at night at his faith.
er's trade Of making stockings, the
lad found time to learn the rudi-
ments of Latin and Greek.
He became city missionary in
Glasgow. and his congregation grew
enormously because he led each
member II 1t to invite some one else.
In 1858 Patton was sent to the New
? Hebfldes as missionary of the Re
formed Presbyterian Church. He
first spent four years on the small
island of Tanna, where he had the
most terrible experience among the
most bloodthirsty cannibals on earth.
His wife and child died. His fel.
sSw missionaries. the Gordons, were
killed on a neighboring island. An.
other missionary fell at his side. Still
he continued to preach faithfully
against wife-beating, widow-strang.
ling, the eating of human flesh.
Ubiquitous traders introduced
measles, to kill OFF the natives, and
one-third of them died. Confound.
Ing all white men, they set about
numbering Patton. After a thousand
hairbreath escapes, he succeeded in
getting away.

Every Christian has a task, a call
ing, a lifelong assignment to service
There Is always difficulty in this
service. The world Is not friendly
to Christ and so It opposes his fol-
lowers. Then there are in ourselves
powers and desires which, II used as
we are tempted to use them, would
hinder the work which we are called
to do.
How, then, shall we do our work?
How may we be sure we will sue
coed? We do not know how to do
it; we do not know where to do IL:
we do not know why to do It; we
have no strength with which to aC
complish II.
All this is true, but other things
are true It was never intended that
we should do our work alone, any
more than 1t was intended that Moses
should be left to his own resources,
or that Joshua should be expected
to bring things to pass without help.
The same Helper that promised to
be with them has promised to be
with us.
The Christian has guidance, which
is far better than his own wisdom
can devise; he has leadership which
is not dismayed or deceived by the
appearance of opposition; most of all,
he has with him a present and abid-
Ing Companion whom he cannot see,
and who cannot be uIscerned by any
of the physical senses, but who Is
none the less really present in his
life.
What does all this meanT 1t
means that the Christian Is immortal
till his work Is done, and afterward.
Whatever happens to the Christian,
no opposition can succeed against
him. He may be disappointed and
troubled; he may see no apparent re-
suits of his work; he may feel that
he is a failure; but all this Is mere
seeming. So long as he is doing
the work of God in obedience and
faithfulness nothing can succeed
against him.
There are some things that the
Christian must be sure Of, however.
He must find what Gods work for
him is. He must be sure of his own
powers, and not attempt to do things
for which God has given him no
equipment.

Relatirlty Of knowledge

The "relativity of knowledge"
means that you can know things only
as they are related to your faculties.
The thing "in itself" and apart from
the way 1t appears to us, is unknown
and unknowable. Absolute knowl-
edge is out Of the question. In a
word, we know appearances, but new
er the reality behind the appear
ances; the shadows, but never the
substance itself. In fine, the gist of
the doctrine of the "relativity OF
knowledge" is that our so-ealled
knowledge is only phantasmagoria.
We know the appearance, but we
have no means Of deciding whether
the appearance is true or false.-New
York American.

Australia.

The first civilized settlement in
Australia was made at Botany Bay in
1888 by some 1890 persons, mostly
conyicts. In 1926 Moreton Bay, New
South Wales, was settled. The settle
ment of Western Australia dates
from 1929. Explorations of Austria
liza began in 1915, and have been kept
up at intervals ever since. The great
er part OF the interior OF the conti-
nent is little better than desert, being
either sand or dense shrub or porcu-
pine bush. In 1876 Giles traversed
territory $500 miles in extent. which
was declared unfit for human habi-
tation." And yet the arteslan we'll
may yet make Australia bloom like
garden.-New York American.

Football Rules Beyond Ex-
perimental Stage-Still
Room for Development.
''BIG FOUR" TEAMS
EVENLY BALANCED
Games Saturday Furnish Criterion
of Points of Strength and
Weakness.

It is far too early TO make any pre-
nictiOns as to the probable outcome Of
the big football games this year, but II
IS not too early to advance the opinion
that the season. now fairly under way,
will be one of the most interesting in
the history Of the sport
The revised rules, which have I'm
proved the game 10 such marked de-
gree. have been tried out for two years,
and their application now amounts to
something more than experiments. The
forward pass, under a further revision
last fall, IS still subject to development,
while advanced ideas IN the use and
variation Of the on-side kick can also
be looked for, but on the whole the
game has settled down, and the various
elsvens can be developed quicker along
approved lines than was possible last
year or the year before.
Abundance of Material.
Further than that. the more import
ant colleges are not lacking In good ma
'terial, which indicates evenly balanced
teams and consequently close and hard
fought struggles. This is particularly
true at Yale, Princeton. Pennsylvania,
and Annapolis. Harvard. Cornell and
West Point have more to do. perhaps,
but indications even at this early date
point TO strong eleveus II the material
can be properly developed.
The games on Saturday did not show
much to the casual observer. but were
ell important 70 the coaches as indi-
eating points Of weakness that must be
bolstered UP or signs Of strength that
must be made the most Of. The Yale
game was an exception perhaps Either
Syracuse, under the coaching Of How
ard Jones, a Yale end last year, is re-
mar]Nably strong, or else Yale is weaker
than the makeup Of the team would
lead one to believe. The first theory
looks more tenable Captain Horn of
Syracuse, is q tower or strength in him
self, and he has gathered a team about
him that knows football and how it
should be played.
Maine a Weak Foe.
Harvard found weaker foe IN Maine
Than II did IN Bowdoin on Wednesday,
Pennsylvania showed latent strength
against the good defense of BucknelI.
while Princeton had 10 do little more
than go through the motions to beat
the Springfield Training School. and
used two or three men in each position
Tor purely educational purposes.
Cornell may have been lucky to find
q comparatively weak foe IN Hamilton
rs the team has not settled down, and
played loose, ragged game.
