Modern teachers are equipped with
a multitude of books and they send
their students to the libraries. But
the Great Teacher who has stimulated
more thought and study than any
other was content to find most of his
lessons in the everyday life about him.
He bound up common things with pro-
found spiritual messages The birds
of the air and the geese of the field
were his Interpreters or a profound
philosophy of life. With this example
we may not despise as puerile and
shallow the nature study in which
so much delight and instruction is to
be found.

Mr.. Taft a Sunday School Guest.

For one day at least in Brooklyn
last week the Sunday schools were
the very biggest thing in town, for 1t
was the Sunday schools of the city
which had brought the president of
the United States to be Brooklyns
guest Therefore not alone the presi-
dent of the borough, but the mayor of
the city, and the governor of the state,
the collector of the port and the as
sistant secretary of the treasury were
proud to be identified for a day at
least with the Sunday school cause.
But none of these great officials COM
manded the presidents attention as
did the children of the city, of whom
20, 900, smaller and larger, marched
before his reviewing stand in Pros
pect park. Then when 1t was mani
testify impossible that all the children
should march past the president, the
president was taken in an automobile
and carried past the children, so, as a.
local newspaper man put it, "A hun
dred thousand Sunday school children
reviewed Mr. Taft" At the Tompkins
Avenue Congregational church, the
Nostrand Avenue Methodist church
and the Bedford Presbyterian church
the president a1ighted to make short
speeches.

ties The committee assembled at
Durham, England, as guests of the
Anglican bishop of that see, in his
famous residence, Auckland castle.
The committe consists CT 35 mem
bers. Five, representing Japan, China,
India, Australia and South Africa,
could not attend; but all the ten mem
bers resident on the continent ap-
peared, and. more remarkable, all Of
the ten North American members
were also in attendance, the majority
of them having to cross the sea for
this specific purpose. The ten British
members would all have been on hand
had it not been that two were de-
tanned by serious illness.
The most important action of the
committee was by its own members
judged to be the resolution by which
it determined to establish a new quar-
terly periodical, to be called The In
ternational Review of Missions. This
will be sold at the rate of 80 cents a
copy and will become the specific or
gan of the continuation committee. J.
H. Oldham, secretary of the Edin-
burgh conference and now secretary
of the continuation committee, was
appointed editor, and an international
editorial board was nominated. Be
sides its value as a medium Of inter
communication for missionary news
In the church, the quarterly will be Of
the highest use for the larger discus
sion of missionary problems.
Just before adjourning the commit
tee made formal request OF John R.
Mott its chairman, that he should, if
possible, so arrange his obligations to
the Worlds Student Christian En-
deavor Federation that considerable
portion of his time may be devoted
to visitation Of mission fields in the
interests of the committee Such a
tour of missionary lands by Mr.. Mott
would, 1t is felt, certainly increase the
mutually helpful relations of the
committee and missionaries in nom
Christian fields.
It was voted that the next meeting
should be held on the American side
Of the Atlantic, probably in the last
week of September, 1912.

ABLY BEGIN AFTER SUM-
MER RAINS.
Conference of Members of Board of
Control With Yuma People.

Governor Sloan and his official fami-
~. several of whom have been wander
ing around a little lately, were all at
their desks again yesterday. The gov
ernor. Territorial Engineer Grand and
Citizen Member r. \. Craig Of the
board of control. were all in Yuma
Saturday on territorial road business,
Messrs Grand and Craig having made
the trip overland in an automobile,
leaving here last Friday morning with
Carl Hurst as chauffeur, while the
governor went by train.
Saturday afternoon the governor ad-
dressed the citizens OF Yuma in the
hourt house on the territorial road, the
desirability Of constructing the section
between Yuma and Phoenix, and other
pertinent matters. He said he found a
great deal of interest in the subject and
a fine spirit of cooperation. The Yuma
people are very anxious to see a trans
continental highway built, of which this
road will be 4 section. and are willing
to do all they can to encourage it, The
engineer has not yet made his formal
report to the board of control. but il
seems to be the opinion OF all the mem
bers in private conversation that the
route is a very practicable one. While
official action cannot be anticipated, it
is quite likely that as soon as the sum
mer rains are over construction of this
road viii be undertaken, and that the
bad places will be put in good condition
before the Los Angeles Phoenix road
race in November
The governor said that he found
great desire on the part of the Yuma
people to have a branch of the terri
