The itinerary includes Australia, China,
Japan. Korea. the Philippines and Europe.
In the party will be Charles NJ. Alex

ut is not surprising that such a move

said Rev. Dr. Pence, pastor of the Fort

the effort Of the individual to live as

Indeed, now. after nearly twenty CEN

to know with fair degree of correctness
what the mind of Christ was. Impressed,
as all students of Him are, that Jesus
understood the human heart inerrantly,
that He knew that heart both in man
and in men-to verify what His mind Is,
is to discover what Is fundamentally
right in morals and fundamentally true
in philosophy.
Upon the presumption we may further
say that there are two sources OF lnfor.
nation about what Christ's mind is about
questions of conduct. First. We have His
teachings, what He said: but, again, we
have what is more important. namely.
His example. His method may be said
to be implicative rather than explicative.
That is. He laid down principles rather
than gave specific rules. He prescribed
no slavish conformity to form of outer
conduct; among untold aspects or HIS
genius as a moral teacher and force this
is not the least, that His ethical system
has ever developed the most positive in
dividuality. This has been due to His
purpose to persuade men to accept HIS
motives as their own. and then for them
to work out into conduct as occasion rose
or opportunity could be found.
"It Is not always noted as it should be
that these followers Of His from the very
outset insisted that their master had
lived a sinless life. We have no record
that this contention of His followers was

Has Memorized 10000 Dates.

e. c. Laston, who has just issued Z
challenge to the world for the memo
ry championship, although only a
young man of twenty-three years, is q
veritable walking encyclopedia, for
he has memorized 10000 dates OF the
principal events in the worlds history
since the creation. 1t was quite by
accident that he discovered that he
had an exceptional gift of memory.
He was being trained as an army on
Ger, when an attack Of rheumatic To-
yer dispelled his hopes in that direc-
ton. At that time he happened to
meet the Zancigs in India, who, no.
ticing what a remarkable memory he
had for dates, advised him to cultivate
1t. He then purchased a copy Of
Haydn's Dictionary of Dates and
sought t. commit to memory the dates
Of the most important events in the
worlds history by writing fifty to a
hundred dates on piece OF paper and
rewriting them three or four times
until he had fully grasped them, with
the result that he has repertoire OF
thousands of dates and can give the
correct answers without the slightest
hesitation.
