rity of the future deaf can be
reached if they are ministered
to while at school. This, then,
Is the golden opportunity, and
it must be made use of to our
best ability. The religious edu-
cation OF these young and plastic
minds has the same value as
in the case of a hearing child;
and even greater, for the reason
that many Of these children
when they leave the State
schools, will hardly ever come
under the direct influence Of a
teacher Of religion again. The
age limit for the completion of
the school is generally twenty
five. There IS chance then not
only to instruct children, but
to appeal to young men and
women during the highly i'm
questionable period of early man
according to some, most souls
are won for the Kingdom of
God.
| have at times met the OBJ
Lection that the schools do all
that is necessary to be done for
the deaf in all lines. Let me deal
with this objection according to
personal knowledge.
Thank God for the State
schools. They are doing splendid
work for these unfortunates.
You really get the impression
that the deaf are not SO unfor-
tunate after all when you see
how they are tended by the
State. 1t cares for their physi-
cal, intellectual and moral needs
as well as it can, and it can
do much. 1t was stated at a
commencement program at the
state institution for deaf at
Faribault, Mimi, that not one
of the graduates in the last 25
years has become a burden to
the State. That they can attain
a high degree of intellectual
development, is shown by the
existence of Galloudet College
for the Deaf, founded and main
tanned by the Federal Govern
ment; here the degrees of Bach
elor of Arts and Bachelor of
Science is conferred on the
graduates. Their education can
then become nearly equal to that
of a hearing child, and all under
good moral influences.
But as teachers and educators,
we know that simply from an
educational point Of view, a vi
tai part of education is left
out in neglecting the spiritual
training of a child. We acknow-
ledge that the State can not give
spiritual knowledge and nourish-
ment to our hearing children.
There is no reason why it should
be more fit to give that part Of
education to our deaf children.
The State expects us in the
Church and home to care for
the spiritual wants of our chill
dren; and we try to do our
duty in this respect, but it is
everywhere acknowledged that
we come far from attaining the
ideal. If that is the case with
the hearing child and its spiri-
tual wants, what then must be
the condition of the deaf child
in this respect?
Friends, the deaf have been
so sadly neglected, that those
of the, state superintendent Of
schools for deaf who appreciate
the need of religious training,
have felt obliged to give it in
some form. But among children
representing homes Of all kinds
of religious forms, Jew and
Christian, and such as cannot
be called either, it is a well
nigh impossible task. General
ideas of God and morals can
be taught; but the Church can
not be satisfied with that. As a
Lutheran deaf mute expressed it:
"the religion we get is like a
drop Of milk in a pailful Of
water"

The ichneumon is an animal that every housewife should possess. There is no finer judge of eggs in existence. The ichneumon, in fact, makes a study of eggs all his life, and he is not par ticular whether they are hens eggs or turtles eggs so long as they are eggs. It is impossible to deceive the animal with regard to their freshness. If a dozen fresh and partly fresh eggs are mixed up together the willy little ami nal will pick out the fresh ones with q certainty and quickness that are posi- lively amazing. At the zoo he is pro vided only with the genuine newly laid He would have to be in very bad way before touching an egg that was shop laid"
