the play by their good acting Miss
Irene Hill, as Mrs. MacFarlane, and
Miss Messy York were especially
clever and added life to the play,
while Miss Eileen Zimmerman pc
tite and graceful, as Janet, the sup

the part to perfection and seemed
perfectly at home behind the foot
lights.
f The climax was ludicT0us and kept
the audience convulsed with laughter.
Captain Maeker and MacAlister
McBeth made typical looking Scotch
men in their kits and the antics the
former went through with the assist

widow, helped to liven up the closing
scene. All in all the play could not
have been improved upon, Judging
from the repeated approyals of it as
evidenced by the unstinted applause
accorded frequently during the per-

A MODEST SCIENTIST.

Thomas A. Edison Is one Of those
rare exceptions in this or any other
/ day-a really modest scientist. Few
If any men have done more To develop
in the direction of applied electricity
the possibilities of the marvellous force
which is so familiar and yet so mys-
FERROUS. Of which so little and so much
is known. But after long and high
~ successful career of achievement
Mr.. Edison declares that he knows
nothing i'm comparison with the rlimit-
able total Of what remains TO be
learned. II is only natural that n man
looking at the matter from this stand
point should express the wish that
those who are living today might be
spared to witness the triumphs of the
next century, or any period cores
ponding to that which has wrought
such tremendous revolutions in the
worlds affairs. This period may just
ly be limited to the past half century,
which, If il has not given to the world
the discovery of the steamboat. the
railroad, the telephone and telegraph,
naval architecture and the wonders of
aviation. has nevertheless given to tho
world these invaluable boons in their
present state of development.
The great celebration now closing n
New York city shows far the science
Of navigation has progressed since the
day Of Fulton and Hudson, yet the
work of the past fifty WONDERFUL gears
has not been so much along the line
of discovery as Of development. It
follows that the progress of the next
fifty or ono hundred years will be Of
the same character and that those
who are alive today of voting age Will
not witness scientific achievements Of
any greater value or interest when
they reach the age of three score and
ten as aid their parents dming
similar space Of time.
In declaring that the world is just
emerging from what no calls the dog"
age. Mr. Edison does himself and his
fellow workers in the great laboratory

blazed the way and are tne real dis
covcrcrs by right of perfection and
development. In some fields OF work
they we're the real inventors and those
who come after them will have only
beaten bath to tread and the world
win appraise their labors at their real
value accordingly.

exercises to shake hands with each
boy and ask him how he has Jared

him the story of his good luck, trou-
bles, or any special incident occurring
through the week.
Now these six boys that form this
teaching you fain would subdue. The
lesson is begun:
No. is of a playful disposition. His
constant attempts To distract the at
tention of his companions, and the ne
| cessity of correcting him, will sadly
distract yours unless you have come
well prepared f 80
No. you find to be a poor reader.
At best he but stumbles through the
verses and takes i'm little idea of their
import. For such n one it may be well
to recapitulate the subject in terse
words-whch can hardly be done
clearly without previous preparation.
No. is decidedly dull An apt i'll
lustration would nightly help him,
but you must have it ready for him.
The other boys will be helped also.
No. is as sharp as needle. He
thinks more than some of the others.
Mere questions and answers will not
do for him, but bring out some histor-
zeal parallel or compare some pointed
scripture reference and you can win
and hold his attention.
No. is provokingly listless. His
mind is always wandering, and can on
ly be retained by keeping things brisk
ly moving all through the lesson. En-
thusiasm and life must be kept up.
This only comes of previous prepare
ton.
No. at times appears very thought
full, and again somewhat skeptical. He
asks some questions or suggests some
difficulty, but at all times he makes
you feel the need of thorough prepara-
ton. .l2l
These boys. so different in outward
characteristics. have at least one thing
in common and that is-IMMORTALI-I

"The Boy in Sunday School
Paper Read by Rev. j. Povey at the Recent Boys
Conference at the Calumet Y NJ c. A.

In speaking of the boy i'm Sunday
school one must associate the teacher
of the boy i'm Sunday school. There
may be written with some force over
every Sunday school door the words,
No Thoroughfare! for it ought to be
the aim of every Sunday school to re-
tain the boy until he is old enough to
take upon himself some of the respon-
sibilities of conducting a school or
managing a mission or a Y. NJ. c. A.,
or to assist in differing church or
taking upon himself some responsible
service i'm the great harvest field of
this world.
1t is fact that many boys when
they arrive at the age of about Is To II
years make a thorofare through the
school-they go through the school and
are not seen again.
Now, To hold the boy in school many
things may be taken into consldera-
ton:
/. The Sunday school room ought
to be made attractive by being prop
crly equipped.
Many Sunday school rooms are any
thing but attractive to boy We
build churches and put the Sunday
school room i'm the cellar or basement
of the building, instead of putting the
school room up by the side of the
church where Gods glorious sunshine
may shine in and thus put sunshine
into all that assemble i'm il. Usually
these Sunday school Easements con-
sist of four square walls without any
adornment of any kind whatever.
In all Sunday schools, whether I'M
derground or ON top of the ground, the
equipment should be the best possible
according to the ability OF the indi-
vidual school.

Making the room attractive in this

for the boy must be teacher willing
