BAPTIST CHURCH.


Some Extensive Repairs to be Made
Handsome Donation.
meeting Of members and friends Of
the Ellsworth Baptist society was held il
the vestry last Wednesday evening for the
purpose Of considering the plans that the
pastor had in mind for the remodelina
OF the auditorium. A good number was
present, and much interested in the
| changes that we're proposed.
After the conference, an informal vote
was taken Of the members Of the society
which indicated their approval Of the en-
terprise and expressed desire that the
work be carried forward.
An unexpected feature of the meeting
was the address of Rev. H. B. Killam,
pastor Of the Baptist church in Edmeston,
n. T., and somehow cousin OF the
pastor. In his address he presented some
OF the more striking features Of the
Worlds International Sunday school con-
vention, recently held in Washington, d.
e., to which he was q delegate. He was
listened to with close attention and the
hearers evidently enjoyed his description
OF the great gathering.
The improvements on the church in
clude the remodeling OF the auditorium.
steel ceiling, seven feet below the pres
ent ceiling, will be put in, reducing the
height OF the room to seventeen feet. A
partition will be thrown across the rear of
the room, cutting off sixteen feet, making
the auditorium 44x50 feet. In the part
rnf ,H
Will be two class-rooms, 18x1s feet, one
each side OF the corridor. The partition
Will be arranged with lifting doors, so
that all may be thrown into one room
when necessary.
The side walls, as well as the ceiling,
will be finished in steel. Memorial win
dows will be put in, all but one OF which
have already been pledged. Modern pews
will also be put in the church, over two
thirds Of which have already been
pledged. The work began yesterday, with
Edgar Strout in charge.
In the services last Sunday, the pastor
announced the receipt OF a bond for
1900 from Charles P. DeLaittre, OF Ait
kin, MINI. This is for the purpose OF
establishing fund for the benefit OF the
church, and is to be known as the "Joseph
and Sally DeLaittre Memorial Fund" in
honor OF his parents, who were valued
members of the church, helpers who
"were loved long since and lost awhile".
Every Thanksgiving in recent years Mr..
DeLaittre has generousle remembered the
society, and this last gift is so arranged
that the principal is to be kept intact
while the interest is to be applied to the
current expenses. 1t is practical way to
insure perpetual income.
In view OF the fact that the society has
lost many members in recent years by
death, but more severely by removal,
thus cutting into the support of the
church, the timeliness Of this gift is
apparent. The members OF the church are
appreciative OF Mr.. DeLaittre's kindness,
and are grateful to him for his remem-
brance.

{ THE FARMERS BOY AND GIRL
chancal and Iusra

: Dr. John W. Cook, president Of the
DeKalb Normal school, voiced the
esoundest modern thought about educa-
zion and work in his address to 500
young teachers and few farmers re-
gently at the Normal university. Some
of his ideas are: Without education
nothing which we have labored to es-
tabiish in the world would be main
tanned. The children, most precious
of all things in the world, are entirely
PLASTIC to our touch, but capable Of
being marvelously Influenced by differ
sent environments. The whole attitude

pie consists mainly in what is going
on in their heads.
To illustrate: l put out my hand the
other morning after it had turned sud
denly cold and found that the radiator
was nearly cold. The boy, who had
been instructed all about what TO do
with the furnace, had performed his
mechanical duty: he had filed the fur
mace as usual, but he had left the dead
ener damper on just as | had fixed 1t
when it was warm the night before,
although the temperature had changed
80 or SO degrees. said to him. Leo,
are you guilty of doing any thinking"
and he said, 81 am innocent" Other
questions developed the fact that he
had not thought how much colder it
was, that he had not thought that the
fire could not warm up the house with
the deadener damper on, had not
thought to look at the thermometer up
stairs or at the indicator on the boiler.
I thought. What a splendid oppor-

interested in each other. She was tell
ing him about the many things she
didn't know. She could not bake
bread, and l wondered if she would
have time to tell all she didn't know
He seemed to enjoy it, l looked at
her and said (but not aloud, MY
dear. what a beautiful face you have,
what a graceful form-and what fool
you are" And then l thought to my
self. NO, what a fool your mother Is
that she doesn't assume an educative
attitude toward you I venture 10
say that half of the domestic tragedies
that occur are because women don't
know how to run a house. And the
other half because men are too mean
to furnish money enough TO run it.
Girls should be educated with the idea
of being housekeepers. And their
mothers should not shrink from teach

l say to the farmer. you do not own
the land, and he draws out his deed.
That means simply that you are hold
ing the land in trust. You don't own
it. Society owns it, the child, the
grown people of the coming genera
tons. God carved out the land and
gave it to you. You must honor your
trust. you must maintain the fertility
of the soil; you must leave it in as
good shape as you received it. That
is what you must do as God is your
judge. You no more own the soil than
the air or the water or the world You
hold the privilege of working the land
but you must pass it on Unimpaired.
You must conserve its fertility. and
use it so as to enrich and augment
tie joy of the life of the boys and
girls on the farm
1t is unspeakable, bewildering
and discouraging, to think how

tunity to do some thinking"
The farm boy or girl has peculiar
opportunity to do some thinking They
live along side of their fathers and
mothers, as few town children do, and
if the parents maintain an educative
attitude towards the child in the home
it will have an opportunity for great
deal of development But the child
will not absorb education unless he is
awakened to think, and the farmer boy
and girl must be melted to think by
their fathers and mothers holding up
ideals that are involved in the activ-
ity of farm life. The work of the boy
and girl must be educative The curse
of the boy in the city is that he does
the same thing over and over again.
How much education is there in boy

work has in it the opportunity for
education in work.
