Sea AuIes Of the Read.

On the sea 1t Is even more important
than on land that there should be well
defined rules Of the road. While there
are ocean lanes" vessels do not move
along well marked lines. like railway
trains. They cross and recross each
others tracks. Moreover. there Is no
air brake which can halt an ocean
steamer within q few yards. Rules
Of the road ut SEA are based upon COM
mon sense aud experience. In general.
when two vessels under steam are
meeting each other end on they follow
the same rules Us with us with vehi-
cles-that is. eacH steers to the star
board or right. One short blast from
the ships whistle means that she Is
taking the starbOard course. two blasts
mean that she Is taking her course to
port, three that she Is going full speed
astern. Should there be risk Of COL
lisiOn between q steam vessel and q
sailing vessel 1t is the duty Of the
steam vessel as the more manageable
to keep out Of the way Of the other.
For the same reason a sailing ship
which Is running free Is required to
keep out Of the way Of one which Is
running close hauled.-Travel

Mrs. Monroe was carefully explain
ing to her small daughter Margaret
what she must do that evening. Com
pany would be there for dinner, and
Margaret was going to be allowed the
privilege Of sitting at the table. She
listened very attentively and faithfully
promised to obey. During the first
part Of the meal she never spoke, but
remained quiet and thoughtful, but It
seemed q long time to her before the
dessert came. Finally q large dish
Was placed near her Of which the con-
tents looked most appetizing. For
some time she gazed at 1t, and when
no longer able to resist the temptation
she reached over and put her dainty
finger deep into the jelly and cream.
then licked her finger and continued
to smack her lips with great satisfac-
ton. Before the mortified mother could
say anything Margaret remarked:

said 1t didn't matter, there was more

The Minister and His Missions.

Ought minister of the gospel to
discuss from his pulpit methods for
improving the public health? Our
good friend, Mr.. w. D. Woods, thinks
not, and even goes so far as to declare
that 'once let a minister contract the
habit Of introducing extraneous mat
ter into his sermons, and his useful
ness as a pastor and preacher is at
an end" That, we regret to say, is
a statement in which we cannot con-
cur. Granted that intelligent and
right thinking people attend divine
services to hear the Gospel" what is
this Gospel which attracts them? Is
it mere formula for finding saliva
ton, or is it guide for life?
Much of the Old Testament is taken
up with history, biography, poetry.
law and rules for the conserving of
the health of the Jewish people, and
the New Testament likewise touches
life on many sides. Coming more
Immediately to the matter at issue,
however, we may say that in the ac-
count given us by Mark of one of the
very first Of the sermons preached by
Jesus, that delivered in the synagogue
at Capernaum, we are told that after
astonishing the people with his doc
trine for he taught them as one that
had authority" he paused in his
preaching to rid a member of the
congregation of an unclean spirit, and
left the synagogue to go to the house
of Simon and Andrew, where he
healed Simon's wife's mother of
fever. The account continues:
And at even, when the sun did set,
they brought unto him all that were
diseased, and them that were possess
ed With devils.
And all the city was gathered to-
gether at the door. And he healed
many that were sick of divers disease,
and east out many devils"
And this, be it remembered, was on
the sabbath day.
The minister of today lacks the
power to heal diseases in any such
miraculous manner as he is here re-
corded, but it is not merely his privil-
cgc. but his duty to point to those
natural laws whose observance promi-
ses the promotion of health. That If
seems to us, is part of his mission

8. Are you thinking Of sending
your child to college because he has
not been advanced or promoted, in
the high school? Sometimes the COL
lege professor ard the high school
teacher take the same view of a boys
fitness for promotion from class to
class. He may fail of promotion af-
ter he gets to college. Then what?
10. Have you a good four-year
high school at home? Has your child
been through that school? If not,
why do you not put him through it
before sending him to college? If he
leaves the high school before he COM
pletes the high school work, is it not
plain to you that whenever he goes he
must first complete that work before
he can possibly begin college work?
Has the pupil gained anything by go
ing to some college to do the work Of
high school?
IL. Have you no good high school
at home? Then would it not be bet
ter and cheaper to you to establish
such a school? Would it not be a
paying investment to you and your
neighbors to establish a first-class
high school? After making full al
lowances for scholarships free tuition
and other gratuities, the average pu-
Pill cannot be kept away from home
year. Four pupils at college would
cost $1,000 to $1,000 a year-enough
to pay for an additional frst-class
teacher in your home high school.
Would it not be economy to keep this
money in your own school for the
benefit of your child and your neigh
horS child. Would it not be wise to
make your own community an intel
lcctual centre?
II. Why Will people of sound
Judgment attempt to run high
school with one teacher at SIS to
500 Il month, and another at $50 a
month, then spend each year enough
on four or five pupils at college do
ing high school work, to pay the en-
tire expenditure in the home high
school for 40 to rs pupils? Can such
community hope to have a high
grade high school?
13. Two teachers cannot run first
class high school Of three years The
teaching may be of high class, but
the teaching force is not sufficient for
the work. Give each of the three
grades or classes, five daily recita-
tions of forty or forty-fiVe minutes
each, then see for yourself if two
teachers can properly do the work. A
teacher cannot do the impossible.
You may cut down the recitations to
thirty minutes, if you choose, but
your school could no longer hope to
be first class.
ID. 1t is absurd for two teachers
to undertake to run a first class high
