Such world wide strain reduces to

Jan. 18th and continuing for one
month, will be a practical course of
instruction by thoroughly practical

dairying, with special reference -
the selection of the dairy herd, sios
and silo construction, the growing
and care Of silage and other dairy
foods, and the care of milk and its
products. Fruit growing, poultry,
livestock, and general farm crops will
all receive just as complete treatment
as will dairying. Corn and livestock
will be judged, spray materials will
be mixed and applied, and many other
things Of interest will be introduced
to illustrated the subjects under dis
cussion.

Andrew Carnegie provides that when

Does this confident anticipation of

beyond the line which divides the
idealist from the visionary? Many
will say that it does. We cannot
agree with them.
Historical study, seeking to con-
dense within the, grasp of limited

nations through five thousand years,
casts its strongest light upon times of
bloody conflict. But even historians
have learned that though fighting

WOmens Dresses Cause Trouble.

Elgin, ILL.,, Dec. Ii" Present
day fashion making the dress of our
women scandalous and in fact solicit
tous, is responsible for the downfall
Of many men," said the Rev. Father
lgnatius, a Passionist priest from
Cincinnati who is conducting a
weeks mission at st. Mary's Church
here.
Continuing he said:
Women and girls appear upon the
street, in street cars and public places
in such attire that their appearance is
an invitation to men to commit sin.
Yet these women call themselves la
dies.
1.-The flirt is one of the worst dia-
bolical agents in existence. The scan
dal spreader is worse than a murder
er. Women alone are not to blame for
the spreading of scandal. Men who
stand on street corners using vulgar
and profane language in the presence
OF women are mere brutes. They are
beasts.
Parents, who by their bad exam
pie, their neglect of religion, lead
not only their own children but
others away from Christ are emissa-
ries of the devil. Many a father and
mother, bent and gray haired today,
is reaping the harvest of his or her
own example, with a broken heart
over the misdeeds Of their children.
The reason that many Of our
young men and women go to the dogs
:oday is because of the bad example
set them by their parents. -

Western Theological Seminary, a rel
ative of the late DR.. Phillip Schaff,
we believe, who was chairman of this
committee, stated, in support of the
recommendation, that the word "bap-
tie" was the Greek, meaning to
put under" and that the churhes are
agreed on this point in Germany,
where the mode of baptism is not an
issue. OF course, the recommendation
was not accpeted but voted down by
the Presbytery, but the very fact that
such a resolution was offered at such
a time, is significant. The Presbyte-

does any other single denomination.

valid, if not necessary, form of bap-

only two great denominations the
