KnowIedae Of the Lord.


To some it may appear strange that
It is the knowledge of the Lord that is
10 fill the whole earth ocean deep-not
the knowledge Of mankind, not the
knowledge OF sin, not human philOsO-
phy-none Of these are to ill the earth
and to bring blessings to the world of
mankind. but "the knowledge Of the
Lord" Well did our dear Redeemer
say. This is life eternal that they
might know thee, the only living and
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
thou hast sent" Life eternal is not to
be gained by a knowledge of astrono-
my or geology or mathematics or
chemistry. etc, but by the knowledge
Of God. How Is this? What is there
so wonderful. so magnetic in the
knowledge OF God that 1t should be
said that men might gain eternal life
thereby? We answer that God him
self is the very personifcation Of those
glorious elements Of character which
he demands we shall emulate, copy,
pattern after. Thus our Lord Jesus
said. BE ye Ike unto your Father
which is in heaven" Not that we can
ever be exactly like him in these re-
spects, while we have our present i'm
perfect bodies. but his is the pattern
after which we must copy as best we
can now and OF him be the exact copy
by and by.
The thought is that as we oOpy our
Heavenly Fathers character each ad-
ditional step Of progress means a clear
er knowledge Of the Father, and only
those who attain to the very perfec-
tion Of love In their hearts win be able
rightly, truly to know the Father or

full, proper sense Of the word would
imply that we had attained his like |

"Business is so rushing at Grand

TEN FAMILIES COMING
HERE TO MAKE HOMES

just to show that the interest of
Colorado people in Alberta, Canada,
lands is reciprocated, John A. Nc
Cow, of Innisfall, in that province,
will arrive in Denver Monday with n
colony of 10 families, all of whom
will settle ut once mt Chula Vista, in
the Grand villa, where they have pur-
chased 80 acres of land at a cost of
$50, 500.
Seven of the Canadian families
have purchased iO-acre tracts and
three have bought 5-acre pieces. the
price per acre being in each instance
$3.50. The entire acreage is planted
in 3-year-old pear trees, this crop
being one of the most remuncrative
in the Grand valley.
Considerable comment was caused
by Tuesdays story in the Republican

on an excursion TO Alberta with a
view to seeking homes there. That
the migration is not all one-sided is
indicated by the substantial influx
of Albertans to CoIorado.-Y ester

posed to carelessness of workmanship
and a profusion of cheap trimming.
After finishing the work in white
goods a cotton dress is made consist
ing of seven-gored skirt and a shirt
waist. This gives practice in making
cuffs and shirt waist packets. Many
girls find time to make pretty
jumper to match the skirt. Indeed,
some manage to make two of nearly
everything given up to this point.
After the cotton dress comes a wool
en- one, made with a nine-gored skirt.
This is much more difficult than any
preceding garment. Pressing is quite a
factor in the final appearance.
Patterns Made for Hats
Two hats are made, winter and a
summer one. The winter hat is of
buckram. A pattern is made, the
together, lined and trimmed. After
making a buckram frame girl will
not be afraid to rip up and alter an
old hat, that it may conform better
to prevailing fashions. The summer
hat is made of wire frame, covered
with straw, net lace or anything de-
sired.
Then comes a fancy dress, with
plenty Of insertion. Hand work in the
form of French knots, feather stitch
ing and lace sewing is required. A
silk waist, too, is often made.
The sewing rooms are beautifully
lighted, spacious, well equipped. The
walls are tinted in two shades of
green, which looks so cool, with a
southern exposure. The sewing tables
are handsome, of oak, and fitted with
a drop leaf at each end to be raised
in drafting work The sewing ma
closets, fitting rooms, pier glasses,
skirt markers-everything needed in a
sewing room.
After two years of this work comes
course in cookery.
In our school only the sewing courses
have thus far been given, as they
were introduced in September, 1907. In
laundering will be started and their
work described in The Herald.
Our aim is not to train professional
seamstresses, cooks and Iaundresses,
but to make good, efficient young wo-
men who can do all these things when
occasion requires and who can intelli-
gently superintend others if fortunate
ly placed in life. All this is given in
connection with regular high school
work in various branches, for we be-
lieve that the practical and the intel
lectual should go hand in hand and
that that life is wisest spent where
the strong working hand makes strong
the working BRAIN" M. r. F.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
There was once a rich man who had
a dearly beloved daughter. On the
occasion of her marriage, among other
things, he presented her with a little
golden key and told her if she would
spend ten minutes each day in each
room in her home, at the end Of g.
year he would give her something the
key would open. The young woman
faithfully carried out her fathers
wishes, even visiting the stables daily.
At the end Of the year she received a
golden jewel casket. Opening 1t she
found within a piece Of paper bearing
these words in her fathers writing:
''The eye of a mistress is worth
hundred servants hands,"
Our aim in this domestic science and
art course is to train girls so that they
may possess the eye of such a mis-
tresS.
Domestic Science Useful Study
Everyone knows the wastefulness of
the unframed housekeeper, rich and
poor alike. Everyone knows, too, that
such a condition must be slowly
changed, as the problem of living be-
comes more difficult year by year.
The school is one of the best places
in which to give the needed training.
Here trained teachers and splendid
equipment are provided. The work is
a burden to no one, while frequently
the busy mothers hands are too full
to permit her doing justice to the
growing daughter and sometimes she
herself has only such skill to impart
as she has been able slowly and pain
fully to acquire and would rather have
the girl taught other methods than her
own.
Sooner or later all women realize
that no girl can escape womans work
in some form. Even Wage-earning
women are not exempt, wherein their
lots differ from those of men, who are
never called upon to sew, and very
rarely to cook or do homework
Hence it is desired that all girls be
trained in the best methods of good
houSekeepers.
Sewing Course First
In Central high we begin with
course in sewing. Patterns are drafted
to individual measures for a complete
set of undergarments. The girls are
taught how to cut out and put them
together. The merits of various ma
terials are discussed and attention is
called constantly to beauty of needle
work and simplicity OF style, as OPP

He Took the Smallest

When the baby came to Mary's home
she was told that the doctor brought
it. She thought he kept an unlimited
supply. Mary had been taught that
politeness was one of the greatest
charms a person could possess.
One day the doctor called and said:
MARY, we have a new baby at our
house. Would you like to go with
me to see it?''
Mary was delighted. The baby was
very tiny, only weighing three and a
half pounds When Mary saw this frail
mite of humanity she turned her face
to the doctor and said:
at think you are very polite to take
the smallest for yourself. ''-Harepr's
