exponents-Moses and Christ. In no
wise is there an attempt made to
lower the dignity Of Moses in order
to exalt Christ. BY the full apprecia-
ton of the old relation of man with
God he can proceed the more freely
and effectively to the exaltation OF
this new and better relation. But
legalism was not eradicated, and new
er has been, from Christianity by this
lucid argument.
"Back to Christ" is a cry often
heard. It is rather an attempt to fas-
ten a new legalism upon the church.
A humanitarian Christ is offered with
the Sermon on the Mount as a stand
ard, or rather from, of faith and prac-
tice. But this Teacher is sublimely
conscious of his own authority, and
in no wise sewers himself from His
message. A humble, teacher, he as
serts supreme control over all human
thought. A man who claims super
human, nay, divine knowledge. At
once there is here He who is the GEN.
tire of all ritual and revelation. Our
"back to Christ must not mean less
than the Word gives us.
Is there in the religion of Jesus
Christ a quality which creates a social
message? Looking at the life of
Christ as given to us in the Gospel,
We see how He came into contact with
men of every social position. Every
social question known in His age was
brought to him Yet We find him with
no system or program to meet these
social problems. We learn to know
him not as a refornler, but as a re-
vealer. He moves through all these
questions with strange tranquility.
He surveys this struggle from above.
He looks at the social world from
above and that point of view gives
him the comprehensive vision, hope
"The chief social contribution of
Jesus is the production of the spir-
itual personality Herein lies the
significance Of his teaching to the
modern world. His power is not one
more activity added to the conflicting
activities of the day. He comes as
one having authority

4 FINE TRIBUTE.

* + y r X y X X 4 X X X 4
In presenting to Robert Porter, the
first honor graduate of the Newberry
high schools, the medal offered by
Trustee Otto Klettner, chairman OF
the board, to the first honor student,
DR.. W. G. Houseal said:
On the face of this beautiful medal
is engraved these words: "NeWberry
High School," "Klettner Scholarship
Medal"
am glad that the word "Klettner
has been placed upon this medal. For
this word stands for something in this
community. The bearer Of this hame'
the donor of this medal, has already
won a great prize in the race OF llfe'
prize finer than COLO and more pre-
cious than rubies. By his many acts
of kindness to his follows, by his nu-
merous deeds Of charity; his good
name is enshrined in the hearts of this
people. By industry and integrity,
by reputation as the "fair and square
dealer" he has won for himself a
high place in the business world
Coming from the FEATHER Land a
mere boy without means and without
friends, a stranger in a strange land,
he set before himself high ideals, with
firm resolution and strong will
power he has achieved a great meas
ure Of success.
Mr.. Porter, you are to be consra-
tulated upon your success. The Win
ming of success comprises three
things; first, the goal to be reached
or the prize to be won. Second, the
firm resolution to win. Third, the
strong will power necessary to carry
the resolution into effect. You resolv-
ed to win and by hard work you have
succeeded. You have burned the mid
night lamp and I have learned you
have worked in the wee small hours
of the morning whilst others slept.
Your character has been strengthened
and you have learned something OF
yourself-that you can do things. Let
not your prize winning stop here, but
let this be an encentive to win great
prizes for the benefit of yourself and
humanity. You can if you will.
Lord Beaconsfeld in an address be-
fore the Literary and Scientific In
stitute of London IN 1914, in his ear
ly life, uttered these expressive words:
"Man can be what he pleases. Every
ore of you can be exactly what h.
designs to be. I have resolved to oc-
cdpy certain position, and if live,
I will -
We do not know what rnat position
was to which Disraeli referred, but
we do know that he reached the high
est position possible to a man in Eng
land He had much to contend
against. He belonged to a Jewish
family, but by his remarkable will
power he elected, fguratively speak
ing, the Jewish blood from his veins
and pumped in the blue blood of Eng
land. He climbed into seat next to
the queen upon the throne.
You will not be able to occupy the
throne of a kingdom, nor will you
reach the acme of perfection. But
you can win place nexc to it. You
can be what you design to be.
Mr.. Porter. I adjure you to wear this
medal. 1t will do you more good than
any rabbit foot or buckeye you ever
carried in your pocket. The name
"Klettner" engraved hereon is
charmed name. it will do to conjure
with. This medal may be to you
talisman of success. Don't lose your
luck too soon by turning it over to
another fellows sister, nor to another

When Celestia Took a JOY Ride.

Celestial is one of the best and most
respected ladies in the Deeriield valley.
She is past 60 and has spent her whole
life in doing good TO others, and now
lives in plenty and happiness on one of
the pleasantest farms in the, valley;
But of late years Celestia has had
one terror-an automobile-the pesky
things have several times frightened
her horse and caused her trouble and she
has read with horror of the terrible acci.
dents that have been caused by them
throughout the world She has declared
thousand times that she "would
never-no, never-get into ONE and
that she thought they ought not TO be
allowed on the highways.
One pleasant day. a short time since,
n friend from Brattleboro came to &c.
lestia Is house in an automobile; tins
was a particular friend of the whole
family, whom they had not seen for n
long time, and Celestia and all the rest
rushed ont TO welcome him, in the good
old whole hearted way that makes a
guest so happy and which can be done
better in Deerfield valley than in any
other spot on earth, and in doing when
Celestial and her family excel. A good
old New England scene was at once en-.
acted, in which all joined and every.
body was talked of and enquired about
and everyone in the iov of the moment
forgot everything and all else but the
pleasure of the occasion. At length IT
was discovered that one member of the
family was at another farm a short dis.
lance away, one whom the friend from
Brattleboro declared he must see before
he left and as he did not know lust
where to find him someone must 90 and
show him. Celestia in her self.forget,
fitness for others said. - II 90 and
show You, and not thinking but what
it was ~ civilized horse and carriage
stepped into the back seat of the ma
chine She never discovered her mis-
take until the "chug. chug' of the en-
CINE aroused her TO the awful fact that
she was aboard one of those 1" horrid
machines. -. The door was shut and the
machine had started. and despite her
protests that she "should never hear
the last of this - she enjoyed the trip
to the next farm so much that before
she rot out she rode over Is miles and
said il was the best ride she ever had
and as the whole party rode laughing
home an hour afterwards Celestla sand
