An Ideal Civilization.

1T is no impossible dream to build
up a civilization in which morality,
ethical development and a true feel
ing of brotherhood shall all alike be
divorced from false sentimentalitg,
and from the rancorous and evil pas
sions, which, curiously enough, so of
ten accompany professions of senti-
mental attachment to the rights of
man; in which high material devel-
opmont in the things of the body
shall be achieved without subordina,
ton of the things Of the soul; in
which there shall be a genuine de-
sire for peace and Justice without
loss of those virile qualities without
which no love of peace or justice
shall avail any race; in which the
fullest development of scientific fea-
ture of our present civilization shall
yet not imply belief that intellect
can ever take the place of character
for, from the standpoint of the ma
ton as of the individual it is charac-
ter that is the one vital possession.
Finally, this world movement of
civilization, this movement which is,
now felt throbbing in every corner of
the globe, should bind the world to-
gether while yet leaving unimpaired
that love of country in the individual
citizen which in the present stage OF
the worlds progress is essential to
the worlds well-being. You, my hear
ers, and who speak to you, belong
to different nations. Under modern
conditions, the books we read, the
news sent by telegraph to our news
papers, the strangers we meet, half
of the things we hear and do eacn
day, all tend to bring US into touch
with other peoples. Each people can
do justice to itself only if it does JUS
tice to others; but each people can
do its part in the world movement
for all only il it first does its duty
within it's own household. The good
citizen must be good citizen of his
own country first before he can with
advantage be citizen Of the world
at large. / wish you well believe
in you and your future. ] admire and
wonder at the extraordinary great
ness and variety of your achieve
ments in so many and such widely
different fields; and my admiration
and regard are all the greater, and
not the less, because | am so pro
found a believer in the institutions
and the people Of my own land. Al

perturbation.
"The Old oaken Bucket" the teash

"Pll try" was the answer; and
here's what she drew:
A circle, three buckets, and off at

Some dots loosely scattered, a doz

"But why have three buckets

The third the iron-bound one that
hung in the well"
"Of course" said the teacher; but
what are these dots?
