Woodward of the Carnegie Institution
They visited the various government de-
partments, the Carnegie Institution, the
Smithsonian Institution, the Library OF
Congress, the bureau of engraving and
printing and the Bureau OF American
Republics.
Next year II is expected that a large
number of American students will make
similar tour through Great Britain,
where under competent Instructors they
will be given ample opportunity TO study
the actual conditions of the country. The
object of the trip is Ito provide oppor-
tunities for as many as possible of the
educated youth OF the United States, Can
ada and the United Kingdom to obtain
some real insight into the life, customs
and progress of other nations at time
when their own opinions are forming"

Gaining Actual Experience.

About seventy students in all have been
sent to this country and Canada, and are
now gaining actual experience of So
Geological and other conditions among
the English-speaking people Of the west
ern hemisphere.
The idea of the International Inter
change OF Students is to offer facilities
for students of the English-speaking
world TO supplement their academic train
ing by educational travel, in which they
are brought, in a systematic manner. into
direct contact with the actual conditions
OF the world in which after graduation
they are TO take up the various occupa-
tons for which they have been trained
The central idea of the originators of
the movement is that there is too great
tendency on the part of the modern
college university students to live by
themselves. apart from direct contact
with the actual conditions in political,
social and Industrial life, and that this
evil can be counteracted by systematic
educational travel. Each OF the students
who is sent out by the International Inter
change obligates himself TO report the
results of his work in various ways such

tions and articles In the daily press

SERMONS BOILED DOWN.


The great test is, can we bear the little
frets7
Many mistake sealed head for a sancu-
fled heart
Life owes living only to the man who
gives a life.
They who wait on God are never found
sitting idle.
Many a man models his golden calf be-
fore mirror
1t takes more than church fairs to make
a fair church.
True saints never groan over the growing
pains Of grace.
More opinions are born in the stomach
than in the head
He best knows his rights who can some
times give them UP.
One OF the gravest faults is 10 be blind to
the virtues of others.
1t is always easier to talk Of the divine
plans than 1t Is to do them.
1t is better TO learn to still the spirit
within than the storm without.
It's mighty hard being patient with the
man who prates of his patience.

you're right than TO have things all right

The Menance of Auto Speeding

Reckless automobile driving seems
to be growing general in the United
States, for reports of accidents are
multiplying and confined to no state
or section. Various cities are sound
ing the alarms to the aVtois;s, urging
them to slow down and pay more heed
to human life and in the same voice,
urging the authorities to exert their in
fluence TO see that these 10y riders re-
strain their mania for speed.
The autoists are moving rapidly to-
ward the point where stringent laws
will have to be enacted for their benefit.
The speed maniacs have already chal-
lenged public patience and are now
inviting official penalty. 1t is unrea-
sonable to suppose that this useless
and violent disregard of human life
can so on unpublished long. The au-

Strong Men for the Pulpit.

The cry of today is for more strong
men in the pulpit. 1t comes from the
material world and 1t comes from the
divinity school; 1t comes from the pull
pit, ittelf. How is the cry to be an
swered? The church is asking that
question in a spirit somewhat of de-
spair. Let the church answer it, for
it has the power Ii 1t will but use it..
Let the pews open their purse strings
a little wider and the question will be
we'll nigh solved.
What, do men go into the gospel
ministry to make money? No, but
many men refuse to go there, because
they cannot make as much money as
they think they need to live comfort
ably, and as much as they can get IN
other lines of life. That Is perfectly
laudable view to take, and it comes
very near summing up the whole sit
uation. The church might as we'll be
frank and admit the truth OF this mat.
ter; ministers enjoy comfortable liv-
ings for themselves and families as
we'll as other people. And why should
they go without when they do not have

gospel rests no heavier on them than
on all.

progress of religion as among the most
potent influence in the world, It will
have to do Its duty better by it's clergy
and II it does that 1t will be very apt
to get more strong men into the pulpit
