The midnight and the morn,
Behold! 1t barely covered then
A nation newly born.
But since it put the foe to rout
Its stars of glory bright
Have grown so fast that every land

Above a few intrepid souls s

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

TIME opinion that a man gains

reading about it or thinking
about it is very different from that
which he gains by practicing it.
This was very wildly Illustrated
to me many years ago in the case
of member, an esteemed mem
Der, of my little church in the
country l had planned to preach
a sermon on parsimony. In prepar-
ing a discourse of that kind 1t is
helpful and stimulating to have in
ones mental eye some personal rep
resentative, some embodiment of
the quality that is to be expounded.
In my parish there was one that
suited my purpose and who was
easily available.
1 kept him imaginativelY by the
side of my study table during the
entire week in which the sermon
was in course of preparation.
The pen picture, so drawn, cut
pretty close to the vitals and when
it was finished I was startled, and
not only startled but alarmed, by
its resemblance to the original, and
hesitated about taking 1t with me
into the pulpit.
For he was a center-aisle man,
which means a good deal to an i'm
pecunious minister who depends for
his meat and drink upon voluntary
contributions.

the day might prove rainy, thus Sc
curing the absence of my living ex-

ship rainy days as well as sunny

His Pew Was in Front,
So I Talked to Galleries.

His pew was well to the front,
and I took care to address myself
to the galleries rather than to the
auditorium proper But even so,
was quite sure that the public serv-
ice would be followed by an after
meeting of a more private nature.
Hardly had the benediction been
pronounced when my anticipation
was realized.
My friend stepped to the front,
his face lit up with a singular (and
to mel bewildering kind of illumi
nation. He extended his hand with
an unusual warmth Of hospitality,
which | shall never forget, and
greeted me with these words: "Mr.
Parkhurst. I thank you heartily for
that sermon, and l do hope that
those old fellows will put it on"
He had a very definite idea as to
what generosity was, but he had
never gotten an inside view of it
by practicing and working it.

it may be said with equal truth that

whether she would prefer to be

A millionaire Chicago father,
whose daughters marriage to a
poor young man has been broken
off has been expressing his views
on the subject. and this is what he
says
If a young man expects to mar
ry the daughter of well-to-do
family he should be prepared to
furnish her with the comforts of
her fathers home She should have
the best food clothes. amusements
and friends, and her husband
should have a sufficient reserve
fund for any sort Of sickness or
misfortune.
In other words. when a girl
leaves her fathers home to go with
a husband she should feel that there
has been little change in her life
either in her habits ideals, hopes,
ambitions. or material comfort. 1t

should avoid in marriage"

Rousseau's etiquette Of Love.

Before Rousseau. love was highly
refined form of social intercourse, a
species of gallantry conducted with
self-restraint and all the formalities of
special etiquette; any extravagancy,
whether in feeling, in speech, or In
action, was banished. But when Saint
Preux, oppressed by his high-strung
passions, came to the rock at Meilliere
to pour forth in solitude the flood OF
his sentimental tears, all the witty re-
finements of eighteenth century gal
lantry, for good or for evil, were final
ly swept away; extravagancy was free
to laJ down the law in love. 1t vas

etiquette of love which every petty
