In the preface to his new book, "A
History of Land Mammals in the
Western Hemisphere" William Berry
man Scott tells how that work came
to be written. "One afternoon he
says. "in June, 1875, three Princeton
undergraduates were lying under the
trees on the canal bank, making q
languid pretense OF preparing for an
examination. Suddenly, one of the
trio remarked: I have been reading
an old magazine article which de-
scribes q fossil-collecting expedition

replied as with one voice, We can;
let's do IT. This seemingly idle talk
was, for Osborn and myself, momen-
tous one, for it completely changed
the careers which. as we then be-
lieved, had been mapped out for u.s.
The random suggestion led directly
to the first of the Princeton palaeon-
biological expeditions. that of 1877

Humorist Will
Che a Lecture
at "Old First
Strickland Gillian. Third OF En-
tertainers in First Pres
byterian Course.

Strickland Gillian will deliver the
third lecture in the Old First Presby-
terrain course on Monday, December
l, at S.15, on the subject: Awkward
ness and Sunshine" Mr.. Gillian is
the most accomplished master OF
laughter on the lecture platform of
today. To say that he lectures Is
somewhat of missioner; he rather
delivers a whimsical monologue, over
flowing with shrewd humor, wit,
pathos and observation. Those who
were fortunate enough to hear him
last year will not need any attempt
to recapitulate his qualities. For
close upon two hours Mr.. Gillian
kept his audience in laughter, which
more than once gave way to sudden
tears at some unexpected passage of
human feeling and simple pathos.
Ii is saying little to claim that Mr..
Gillian is q real artist; he has the
poets mind, and through his humor
he is constantly ifnparting the wis
dom Of a serious and high-minded
observer of life.
Preceding the lecture Alexander
Russell Will. give an organ recital
The program will consist of.

John Cotton Dana, librarian of the
Free Public Library of Newark, is
not in sympathy with the general ar
tistlo trend of today in the building
of museums and collection of art OBJ
jects. Apropos of this subject he af-
fords excellent food for thought In
an iconoclastic criticism in The New
arker, the official organ OF the New
ark Library,
Mr. Dana points out what he re-
CARDS as three grave faults, viz:
The inaccessible location OF most
museums; the architectural style of
ancient times used by modern archi-
tects and the fictitious high values
of many art objects.
In the accompanying table Mr..
Dana compares, from the point OF
central and distant location. the num-
Der of visitors at fifteen of the lead
ing institutions In the United States.
Mr.. Dana does not insist that figures
prove the point. but notes particular
ly the cases of Chicago and New
York in support OF his contention. He
says:
In Chicago, a centrally located and
rather popularity administered muse

tents when compared with that OF
New York. and spending annually for
accessions about four per cent. of
New YoIk's yearly outlay for the
same, drew last year from one-fourth
the population 30 per cent. more visi-
tors.
ut may be said that IL this de-
velopment of American art museums
into remote palaces and temples,
filled with objects not closely asso
ciated with the life of the people who
are asked to get pleasure and profit
from them, and so arranged and adj
ministered as to make them seem
still more remote--it may be said
! that IL this development has been as

Says Preaching
and Teaching Go
Hand in Hand
Or. Hunt, of Princeton, Asserts
Ability to Do One Aids
the Other.

We read in Scripture of pastors
and teachers" and of teaching
priest" says DIR. Theodore White
field Hunt, of Princeton, in an ar
ticle on Preaching and Teaching in
the Homiletic Review. The callings
are thus seen TO be strictly co-or-
climate, having common aims and
ideals and, to large extent, COM
mon methods A call to each is es-
sential in order to constitute a Just
claim to the fulfilment of it's func-
tions. Hence frequent Interchange
of these functions takes place, their
respective discharge often devolving
en- the same incumbent. The close
connection of these two callings may
clearly be seen by noting the qualifi-
cations essential to their successful
prosecution.
l. Ability to instruct The preacher
must be APT to teach; not q nov
ice'; rightly dividing the word OF
truth. Preachers must be faith
full men able to teach others also"
1t is assumed by the very nature of
his calling that the preacher can
teach, car mediate his knowledge
successfully TO others He is differ
possessing tho special gift or faculty
of communication Otherwise, he
would not be chosen from among his
fellows for such an office, Preachers
and teachers, therefore, are alike pre-
ceptors. interpreters, expositors. and
ii is assumed that they are fully con-
yersant with that which they are
called upon to communicate. The
first test that students and hearers
apply to him who is instructing them
js his knowledge of his subject and
ability to impart it. All successful
opponents of the truth, whether be-
hind the preachers or professors
0esk, have been men qualified to in

2. Ability to interest and impress.
Preachers and teachers alike must
have what Aristotle calls persuasive

truth, in order to be instrumental for
good, must not only be spoken, but
enforced and reinforced upon the
consciences and minds of men. More
is required" said Baxter, ito cure
men of their diseases than the mere
evidence Of truth" What ne meant
was that truth needed confirmation
and assistance, based on the method
of its presentation. 1.-THE words of
tie WISE we are told, ARE as goads,
and as nails fastened by the masters
of assemblies" driven in and driven
home by powerful and persistent APP
peal The truth may be made and
must be made to appear to be, as II
is, for the best interests of men, lust
what they need and must have in
order to live and work Alright. Preach
ers and teachers alike, therefore,
must be thoroughly convinced of the
Importance of what they preach and
teach, so that the nearer of the gos-
pei is led TO the study of the Scrip
lures for himself, and the pupil in
the class room is induced to resort
to the library to verify his knowledge.
All great preachers and teachers have
rad this faculty of impression, and
when combined with the faculty of
instruction 1t is well-nigh Irresistible.

though father pays for his own
Christmas presents, yet he is gem
orally the one who gets least We
know. too, that many things father
would love to have he surrenders IN

story OF a father who laid aside his
hope for new fishing rod in order
TO give his children the money they
begged on various childish pretexts.
And this money which he wlstfully
surrenders was in reality being hoard
ed UP for a purpose-and then on
Christmas Day he is surprised by the
very rod for which he had yearned!
A simple plot but simplicity and good
will are the keynotes of every great
Christmas story, and this is one of
the great ones It is tremulous with
pathos Of all true and deep joy, and

the rod, now once again swathed in
the gray linen bag. He would have
been the last to realize that. in his
humble way, he typified diviner
fatherhood to the little family who
trusted in his care for them-for all
things came of him and of his own
