We are often asked, should young
man or woman go 10 college? Nova
days the thing Of going to college or
not, is in the air. We hear it discussed
a great deal aud hear many arguments
both for and against college course.
As to the propriety of it let it be said
that it all depends ON so many circum-
stances that a direct answer is impossi-
BILE. That every young man or woman
should go to college is just as nonsen-
steal as that no one should go ut all.
Real genius is independent OF all con-
/ ditions, and hence some of the worlds
greatest men never entered II college
door. Such was the case of Abraham
Lincoln. 1t always seems to MS that a
college education would have spoiled
him and crippled his rare genius, But
all such men have Il training of some
kind and equal to u college education.
But on the other hand all other
things being equal, college education
is necessarily of great value. Because
few on even many college graduates
are asses" is no argument against the
college. The college cannot change
the nature of men or women If they
go into college as impracticables they
will as rule come out the same. A
college developes, does not create. 1t
is an artificial institution and not u
! supernatural one. The question of go
ing to college or not can only be solved
by knowing TIE man or woman, the
college and the circumstances incident
to the ease, Here, AS in all cases, every
tub must stand ON it's own bottom. In
( dividnality must he consulted. Many
persons will not take an education any
more than some coarse rough stones
will not take polish 10 attempt to
educate them is TO throw away time
aud money. 1t is to encourage false
ambitions and to breed disappointment
Ga the contrary, supposing the posses
son of a good mind and character,
there is nothing that can add to its
power and usefulness like a college ed
cation. Here the mind is taught to
work The foundation may be laid for
all future growth and development
A college education of the right kind
and in the care Of the right person is
capital invested and we'll investigated.

What is the moral effect OF Free Ma
sorry. Odd Fellowship. Knights Of
Labor and the numerous secret socie-
ties upon the home? solomon, the wise
man, said; Discover not a secret to
another, and he had good reasons for
LAYING such and injunction, for IN his
time, as atthe present, there were peo-
pie too much disposed to tell all they
knew. One half the trouble in every
community, comes from the fact that
SO many people have not the capacity
to keep their mouth shut. We have
two years but only one tongue which
is suggestive Of the fact that we should
hear more than we tell. BY the power
of a secret divulged, families, churches,
neighborhoods and even nations fly
apart. BY the power of a secret kept,
great charities, reformatory movements
and Christian enterprises may be adj
vauced. 1t S an often discussed ques-
ton whether associations that do not
have their work with closed doors, and
admit their members with pass words,
and greet each other with secret grip
are right or wrong. Our answer is that
it depends entirely upon the object for
which they meet. If it is 10 pass the
hours in revelry and obscene talk, or
to plot trouble to the state, then we
say with empasis that it is wrong. But
where the object is the Improvement
of the mind. the enlargement of the
heart, the defense of the government
then we say with just as much emPha-
sis thar they are blessing. There is
10 need that those who plan for right
over wrong should publish to the world
their intentions. Secrecy of plot and
execution are wrong only when the
object and ends are nefarious. Every
family is a secret society, every bust
ness firm and every banking institu-
ton. Then men who have no capacity
to keep a secret are unfit for positions
of trust anywhere. Secret societies
have done incuIcaiable good. Some OF
the secret societies have poured very
heaven of sunshine and benedietion
into The home of suffering. Some OF
them are founded in fidelity to good
citizenship and the Bible. Christ has
given MS rule by which we may Judge
not only all individuals, but all secret
societies, by their fruits We shall
know them Bad societie make bad
men. Good societies make good men.
A bad man will not stay in good socie-
ty and good man VIII not stay in bad
society. Some men are us genial as
angels a. the society room and as ugly
! as sin at home.
