THE MODERN SUNDAY SCHOOL
Nunc Dimitti
Benediction.

The average person of today does
not give a thought to the changes
which the Sunday school has under
gone in its wonderful progress.
The main object of the Sunday
school, at first, was to keep the chill
dren from lettering upon the streets,
and that object holds good, in a meas
ure, today. -
Robert Raikes started the first
Sunday school over a century ago,
holding it's session all afternoon. In
stead of the Bible, reading and writ
ing was taught; and even about fifty
years ago this form was carried out
in some parts of Georgia and Florida.
Seeing the opportunity for a great
Christian movement, this method of
the Sunday school was gradually i'm
proved upon, until today we have the
modern Sunday school, where the BIZ
BILE is taught; doing more good, per-
maps, than any other organization.
The Young Mems Glass of the First
Presbyterian Church is conducted up
on modern methods, making the hour
interesting and beneficial.
The members and teacher of this
class extend cordial invitation to all
young men of the city who attend no
other Sunday school, also to any
strangers in the city, wishing to
spend a pleasant hour on Sunday
morning Come out next Sunday at
9:45 a. m. and get acquainted. First

Thackeray at oxford.

An old story of Oxford and Thackeray
is recalled by Thomas Plowman, who
vouches in the Cornhill Magazine for
the accuracy of his version. Thackeray
had to apply to the vice chancellor for
permission to lecture and found that
gentleman ignorant alike of his name
and fame.
Still, he had trump card left, which
he had been accustomed to consider
would carry all before it wherever the
English language was spoken. So, with
a quiet smile OF supreme confidence. he

tested itself upon the vice chancellor's
countenance and Thackeray awaited
the elusive outburst which would
make amends for all. 1t came in the
words, Yes, yes, have heard of

cror,,xell's Wav.

In the days when Oliver Cromwell
was lord protector of England there
was no fine discrimination to favor
members of an embassy. When such
members committed crimes against the
law of the land they were held to the
same accountability as though they
had been natives. So it was that on
July 10. 1853, Don Pantaleon Sa. a
Portuguese nObleman. brother of the
ambassador from that country to Eng
land and a knight of Malta. was be-
headed on Tower hill. He had killed
an Rnglishman. installing him for an
other. The Portuguese took refuge
with his brother, the ambassador. who
claimed that by the law of nations his
house was an inviolable sanctuary for
all his countrymen. Cromwell sent a
messenger to state that if the criminal
was not given up to the civil authori-
ties the soldiers would be withdrawn
from guarding the embassy and the
mob left to do as it pleased. Every
effort was made by the Portuguese and
other ambassadors to save Don Panta-
Icons life. but without avail. Crom-
we'll made no other reply than, Blood
has been shed. and justice must be

The Grand Teton.

The view of the Teton peaks from

has been the inducement for many a
tourist and sportsman to leave the

The average American. who has only
a vague conception of the natural beau
ties of the Rocky mountains and imag-
ines that real alpine forms are found
only in Switzerland, must be surprised
when he first sees the lofty peaks of
the Tetons. Even man who has
climbed the Matterhorn would think
twice before daring to try Grand Teton.
According to local report, this peak
has-been assembled only twice, in 1872
and 1894. As the snowclad mountains

To Make copper Oxide.

An excellent way to make copper
oxide for use in batteries is as follows
Take quantity of copper filings or
fine copper shavings and heat them IN
a cast iron container or in d crucible
till they are red hot. Stir them with
an iron rod. and while still stirring
sprinkle a little water over the filings
nntil they become ocher red. You will
then have good quality of copper
oxide
Copper oxide plates may be made as
follows: Mix the graduated or coarse
copper oxide with 5 per cent or 10 per
cent of magnesium chloride and heat
the heavy mass in forms made of iron
sheeting. the forms being of the size
of the wanted plate. The more
chloride of magnesium used the moro
porous the plates will be. The coarser
the copper oxide the letter will be the
results. Popular Science Monthly and
