ANOTHER BIRTHDAY REACHED.

With this issue the HERALD en-

During the past twelve months we

desired have been largely charge
able to that score, though we are
thankful that there hasn't a mon

ished, and now things are opening
out nicely along that line. We
shall make no rash promises but will
continue doing the best we can un

A Short Sermon on Lying.

A natural element of the soul, heav
en- born, is that of perfect faith and
trust. This luxury of the soul pre-
sents to US the great responsibility
of parent and teachers. The parent
or teacher often teaches child to lie
by speaking and acting lies, One of
the most effective ways to manufac-
ture a nation of liars and defaulters
is by the object lesson system. A
mother tastes some nanseOuS medl
cine, assuring the child by words
and actions that it is very nice. The
child takes the medicine, detects the
lie the mother has told it, learns by
such lessons to deceive and conse-
quently never Climbs to the noun tain
top of honor and write his name by
the side of George Washington. No
child could have the implicit conf
fidence it would have had, had the
mother been true and said. This
medicine is bad TO take. You are sick
and it is necessary that you take it
to get WE'LL" Such a course would
inspire confidence and trust; truth
would not be sacrificed, but lesson
of obedience and couraged manifest
ed in the presence of one of the little
ones of whom the Great Teacher sale.
Suffer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not for of such is
the Kingdom of Heaven. Another
instance used to belong to the
school room, possibly the practice of
to the practice of self reporting. A
young lady of truthful character, alb
boring lying, with scrupuously
truthful mother who instilled this
virtue in her daughter. was made to
bore to untruth by this evil practice
in the school room. At first when her
classmates, who had been whisper
ing all day, answered perfect" she
felt loathing and disgust, and al
ways said she had whispered. The
others who lied about it were prais-
ed continually, while she was public
ly reprimanded before the school.
Thus the teacher was giving re-

for giving more time, during a portion
of the year, to the sailors than he does
to the heather. For my part, 1 am in

man quite as important as that of a

efficiency of the Young Mems Chris

the fact that it seems to have lament

White Schoolboys in a Yellow City.
Another indirect but grave and ever
present missionary problem, to which
even missionary workers give little
thought, is that of the children of the
men and women on the field. The ia

Chefoo makes the topic pertinent here.
1t never occurs to an Anglo-Saxon at
home that a white child cannot well
be reared with yellow children. His
first thought would doubtless be, like
my own, that it is rather funny to see,

What is it doing, these men scornfully
ask, when it can neglect entirely the
men of the second largest American

AS a consequence, they say, of the
associations attitude, the Americans
in Chefoo. some of whom are not mem
bers of any church and had supported
the work from patriotic and humani
tartan motives, declare that they will
no longer give their time and money
to it, since the Christian organization

Second thought, though, reminds
one that this white boy, who, like
most missionary children, speaks the
tongue of the native more freely than
he does that of his parents, is hearing
from his playmate many things which
it is not considered healthful for an
Anglo-Saxon to know. Alongside of

There are two kinds of schools in
this country, both strong in their
influences, educating the boys in
strikingly opposite directions. The
school house education on the one
hand and the street education on the
other are alarmingly different. The
Nations prosperity depends upon
which school educates the boys.
