school life of the child. The school
building and grounds should portray
the artistic and beautiful. Those
things which adorn the home should
embellish the school property

A neglected school house is a democrat
izer. Place a child at a mutilated

We wonder how many of our boys
realize that land is going fast-boys
brought up to think that in America
land can never be scarce, that when
they have played out at every thing
els they can somewhere get a piece
of land for nothing and the next day
be a prosperous farmer, can with diff
ficulty be made to see it, In 1860
there were but little over 81 100000
acres under cultivation in the United
States Today the cultivated acres
number 236,0O0,000 and these acres
are not only our best, but they are
fast going up in value beyond the
reach of men of small means. Keen
scented corporations shutting the in
evitable battle from afar are turning
their attention to land, and gleedily
buying whole counties with no idea of
ever letting an acre 90, but the boy
who thinks he is made for something
higher looks calmly on thinking there
will he plenty left for him should he
ever have to stoop to 1t. The sons
of half starved teachers, Editors, lawy-

cessful in their over-crowded callingS,
are turning to our cheaper lands, sure
to find there what they nor theirparents

We often wonder why it is so many
young men can be seen lOating upon
our streets until a late hour of night,
Many of them are from our best homes.
The fathers of these young men, many
of them at least, are numbered among
our best citizens. If their COW or their
horse or even their favorte dog was a
way from home after dark they would
be out ON a search, but their own child
rem can roam the town all night with
apparently no effort being made to
find them. The boy seems to be turn
ed loose at a tender age to wander at
will into the paths of sin and vice and
then we wonder where all our tramps
and worthless specimens of humanity
come from. 1t is regrettable fact
that to many of them come from
seed terminated in good homes and
then sown in Il careless manner upon
our streets and back alleys. Reader,
is your boy wasting his time upon our
streets? If 50 had you better not, ut
least, look after him as carefully at
as you would your horse and
COW. We do not intimate that this
evil exists to a greater extent IN this
community than in our sister towns,
but the evil seems universal anG in

That the churches in any commun-
ity exercise a most potent influence for
good is conceded by all except the most
rabid or blatant infdel whose egotism
and self-conceit blind his mind to the
inestimable value of Christianity. The
Galilean teacher said to His disciples;
"Ye are the light of the world. " "Ie
are the salt Of the earth" Hence, If
all His disciples are the light of the
world and the salt of the earth, the
logical as well as the scriptural con
cluSion is that they are the light of
the community in which they live.
These declarations, however, do not
preclude the possibility of the light
going out-being hid under a bushel--
or the salt losing its saltness. But GER
tainly no reasonable or fair-minded
persons would accuse the churches of
being wholly composed of united bands
of hypocrites. For it matters not to
what extent sin, in its many forms,
may prevade the ranks of any church,
you will find within its membership,
consecrated men and women. And it
should be borne in mind that it only
requires a few of the aforementioned
class to become the light Of the com
munity.
