CONGREGATION PICKS SERMONS.

In order 10 give the congregation a more direct interest in the sermons and to preach on topics which are of especial interest to the majority of the members. the plan of having the sermons selected by the congrega- tion is one which has great promise in Pittsburg Tn order to try out the ides, which has the approval of the ConEistory Of the Reformed church, Rev. Robert J. Pilgrim has prepared a ballot containing thirty subjects. The list Of sermons includes doctrinal practical and social subjects, all of which are Of direct interest to the congregation. and the church members have the privilege of selecting ten of Jhem for him 10 discuss at an early date The selection will be by pop.l- lar vote, thus carrying the preferential primary system into the church.
 This idea should prove an import ant one in dealing with the church at tendance problems. It is adopted to create a closer interest between the .congregation and the pulpit and call tculated to stimulate a deeper interest sin the preaching by taking up what Fthe congregation is particularly inter- ested in- For those who feel that

FLAG DAY.

From events which are transpiring throughout the country from time Co times it is evident that too great inn porJince cannot be attached to the observance of Flag day Not only should it be given special honors on the fourteenth of June, but through out the year 1t Is due for public recog- rition at all times Flag day, however, has been observed since 1898. and to- day is the lS5th anniversary of tho adoption of the stars and stripes as the flag of our country
 Old Glory should be flying from every home today the symbol of a mighty nation. and coming as it does two weeks after Memorial day, the anniversary serves again to keep fresh the sacrifices and lessons which it's defense brought about. The flag has gone to all parts of the world and it ss recognized as the sign of liberty with new beauty as il ages for ever increasing numbers of friendly eyes and new terror for those who oppose liberty.
 Some instances of disrespect for the flag, stimulated by anarchistic inter ests, make it apparent that patriotic societies, the American people in gen eral and particularly the schools should arouse all enthusiasm possible in support of the lessons of patriotism which the flag teaches and pledge their loyalty and fealty to it. Unfurl the banner from every housetop and lei l. proclaim it's great significance. fl cannot be too freely displayed, too often seen. or too deeply respected

Carpe diem. seize today. is a good motto provided you use it intelligently, and as a man.
 There is quite @ difference between a mans living in the present moment and brut4's.
 To the brute, now is now Tn. pres ent time is simple. It casts no shad- Ows backward or forward. He knows nothing but to try to get the thing he wants
 The mans moment, as has been said, looks before and after.'
 Behind this moment is memory. ac- cunnulated experience, the warnings of rem0Tse, the cautioning index of fear Before is hope, imagining, and the long lane of beams which anticipation sends over coming days, as the moons path on the sea.
 From the past comes wisdam, CT un- wisdom. From the future comes stimulus og depressing dread.
 We stand on the Nov as steut Cortez on peak of DarieH,' between an Atlantic of the past and Pachc of the future.
 The past is illuminated by the light of what we hope ta do; the future is darkened by the shadow of what we have done.

 What is known as a white farm is located mead Puyailup, Wash, the own CT of the place being Eugene Jacque- min, lover of nature and livestock. For years he has been gathering to- gether white animals and fowls, which Are all housed in spotless shelters and permitted to roam within the bounds of white fences.
 This white farm is one of several found in other parts of the globe. and is unique because it contains many specimens of albino animals and birds, writes a correspondent of the St. Paul Dispatch. ".-----. -..-
 White horses do all the farm work. White ponies play with the children.
 White cows furnish butter and milk. There are white hogs, sheep and goats. The pigeons, chickens, ducks. geese, turkeys and guinea fowls are all white.
 The guinea fowls were imported from Africa.

Tn the orchard the farmer has an albino elk, three white deer. mountain sheep and a polar bear cub. There are in aviaries a pure white magpie, white blackbirds, 1 pheasants, wild swan, cranes and storks.

A disagreement between James Hill-
 house and Yale university as to the
 use of the land sold by him from the
 Sachem's wood tract in 1905 has been brought to the public attention this
 week, when MT. Hillhouse had the en-
 tire correspondence in the case pub lished. There have been rumors of difi- culties for some time.
 Mir Hillheuse protests against what
 he believes to he violations of the agreement made as to the future de-
 velopmeHt Of the Hillhouse property by the university The original deed pro- 1 vided that the "30 acre tract is to be mainly used for the Forest school, the botanical gardens, the proposed school of irrigation of Yale university, or for similar purposes. and for no other pur-
 poses. unless approved by the corpora | ton of said university"
 As early as June 16, 1910, MT, Hill house objected to the new Sloane phy- sical laboratory then in course of erec- ton, and which has just been complet- ed as being 8 use of the property for 8 purpose not permitted by the deed. The building. he thought, was "out of harmony with it's location. and he ob- | tected, too, to the cutting down of sev- eral oak trees.
 l This week Mir. Hillhousa calls atten-
 ton to the second laboratory, that for
 zoology. that is going up at the corner | of Sachem and Prospect streets, and 1 protests again against this use of the land, saying that he never had any in l tention of selling the property for gen. 1 eral university purposes, and would have otherwise adhered to a plan of l his own for developing Sachems wood. ] Secretary Stokes Of the Yale cor poration in 1911 replied to MT. Hill ! house that the university would abide 1 by It's agreement, but would insist upon
 all of its rights to the property" He
 was confident that the use of the property for the Sloane physical lab- | oratory is in no wise contrary to any l agreement which the university has
 made or assumed.' As Secretary Stokes is in Europe, Mir HilIhouse ad- dresses his letter of this week to the ! corporation.
