McGREGOR INSTITUTE
NOW SELF-SUPPORTING

The financial report OF McGregor
institute, read in the annual meeting,
Thursday afternoon. shows that the
mission has become self-supporting.
The expenditures last year totaled
$35,S7l.94, and the receipts were $685.
1859 AS only $3.50 of the income
came from subscriptions 1t shows that
the institute has reached a paying
basis.
The income is made up OF interest
on invested funds, $3,S57: sale OF
kindling wood, 1854; meals, $1o,072;
religious work, $287, and incidentals
1881. The largest expense was for
food, which amounted to $11,156.
In 1911 there were 131,771 lodgings
furnished, in comparison with 14O,529
in 1910. An average Of 361 men found
shelter In the institution every night,
as compared with 3S8 in 1910. That
the greater number OF men were hon

who were trusted for their meals the

But when the morning dawned and the stars paled, and the moon faded to a silvery whiteness and was lost in the returning glory of another day, Abraham knew God. and said: There is a higher power, and these lights are but his servants and the work of his hands"
 Now modern thought is not inclined to credit the sun, moon and stars either to the God of Abraham, or to the gods of Hesiod, but to the god of Topsy. They are, because they are, and there is an end of the matter: but why? Simply be- cause it aseribes to the God of Abraham and to the gods of Hesiod such fantastic ideas as would make either of these worthies laugh in their graves 1t stands before these worthies clothed in such pro- found conceit as would make them groan. Hesiods gods taught men music, poetry. archery. riding, driving, the laws of jus tice and so following. one certain chiron being a sort of professor of things in gen eral to whose special tutelage the edu- cation and training of many celebreties were committed. but these wards of his were too modest to arrogate to them- selves their accomplishments and achieve ments.

wound, but especially of our personal shame and our personal obligation. the consciousness that we though many, are one body and suffer from the same wounds.
 I suppose 1t is impossible for us to gain the old Hebrew sense of the personality of the nation. We talk of Uncle sam for instance, but we do not mean the nation so much as the government for the time being. It is the same with our civic and state consciousness, always speaking as though we were mob of diverse and selfish and greedy impulses. We also speak of foreign nations as of individuals, whose personal sufferings ought to be traced to national traits or sins. But though the dear name Amer ica' stirs our emotion and brings praise to our lips, we have not won through to the noble faith of our spiritual fathers, that America is a Soul with whom God is dealing, Body whose wounds come of it's transgressions, mind needing q higher discipline, a wondrous Personality whose splendid attainments are offset by unspeakable wrongs and unspeakable de pravities.
