day, as indicated by the utterances of
the speaker, was the Indifference OF
too large a number of its members to
a certain element of people in the
church. For the modern church to
fulfil its mission it must be filled with
the spirit that made the early church
such power because it lived near TO
God.
Let us make men" was the subject
OF an analytical address by Prof
Kelly Miller, who is giving series of
lectures on mathematics. He was.
greeted by an enthusiastic audience
and was accorded an ovation. I'VE
have the privilege of being a Co
worker with God in making men,
were some of the philosophical utter
ances of this noted scholar in his IN
PRODUCTION. That every person has a
peculiar assignment in the perfeCting
of the faculties Of his neIghbOrS and
to mould those mobile and flexible
characters properly he said that God
required of them to be intelligent and
efficient cO-wOrkers and should under
stand all the knowledge involved IN
the process of man making. A thor
Ough knowledge of the student should
be possessed by the teacher and the
pedagOgue should have especial train
ing for this feature of making man
was emphasized by the speaker He
said that if the physical constituent of
man is weak the process of man
making Is barren of results desired,
In a plain and unassuming manner he
spoke of the class of people in the
race leaving the rural districts and
entering the city where their environ
ments were too often detrimental to
their physical development This large
element in a number of cities pOpu-
lations unless given the facilities of
physical development would be a di-
minishing factor in the world of al
fairs was a logical conclusion of his
attentive audience. He said that the
demands of civilization was such that
if a man did not have a sound body
his value to society was decreased.
Among his utterances on this phase Of
human development were: 4 would
prefer living in the meanest log cabin
in North Carolina than in crowded
alley in the city of Washington"
He held that brains were not cheap
| if properly applied, and without
knowledge there was not much power,
hence the process Of man-making re-
quired the developing of the intel
leCt. The attentive and receptive au-
dienCe was told that self made men in
Europe were among the things Of the
past, and they were finding their place
in the history of the past because in

and never mingled with his fellows

unto a crooked stick in the wood
lpile' That social development was a
factor in making man an effective
agency for the accomplishing Of the
| purposes for which man was created
was practically and interestingly told
! by this keen observer of men. He
showed the value Of culture and what

| give something to the world said
Prof. Miller in revealing the fact that
man must be capable of producing by
natural limitations. A prize fighter
who was perfect in physique but
lacked the development of other fac
ulties was his example for the one
sided man. The self-righteous indi-
vidual who believes he has reached the
state that he can claim a perfect de-
Ivelopment was another class claim
ing his attention and eliciting a flow
of elOquence, yet pure and instructive,
which met the appreciation of his
hearers. He often quoted Shakes
