BuiIdinQ for Old Ace,


The spring and summer of our life
may have been fairly pleasant and
their enjOyments harmless; but the
retrospect is far from satisfying if,
when the autumn comes, our fields are
empty. 1t is well, on summer morn
ings, as we go to our work, to pluck q
wayside blossom now and then, or
pause to hear the carol of a bird; but
our chief concern should be the plow-
ing and sowing that shall yield endur.
ing harvests. 1t is well to Quench our
momentary thirst from the brook
whose slender flow the dry weather
of single week may leave exhaust
ed: but we shall still need to hew fol
ourselves unfailing cisterns. To live
In such fashion that, while we may dc
but little harm to others, we make nc
worthy contributions to their happi
ness, is to doom ourselves to hunger
and thirst in coming days. Not only
| by the evil that we do, but by the goO(
we leave undone. do we in youth ant
prime prepare Tor ourselves an ole
age of remorseful memories.-Rev.
| Frank Thompson, in Universalis

Rev. John Treadwell. pastor of the
church. made an interesting ten-minute
speech, in which he told of the origin
and progress of the pipe organ as an
instrument for holy worship. He told
also, that the new organ shall be
known as the Horace Stewart me-
mortal organ. in gratitude to the long
service of the late II. f. Stewart as
leader of the choir and to the Stewart
heirs in thanks for their contribution
toward the purchase of the organ. In
closing, Mr.. Treadwell gave detailed
description of the instrument and ex-
planned it's workings to the interested
audience.
The service was one of the longest

nearly two hours. but was so full OF

Hooper of Triplett has been
highly appreciated. He has
proved himself a good student
and has served the term as
president of the senior class
class. He together with Misses
Phillips and Cuddy, will teach in
rural schools the coming year.
Miss Sigloch has announced her
intention of continuing her stud

in Richmond next winter. The
other two young women have not
announced their intentions. Bon
durant will attend Westminster

Farewell to Teachers

On Monday night the Christian
Church rendered a farewell Soc
ial to Misses Mary Jane and
Ruth Gilbert and Professor Glib
bany, each of whom has taken
an active part in church work of
this town.
The Epworth League under the
direction of Miss Elizabeth Ben
nett was responsible for an ex-
cellent program musical num-
bers, word of appreciation and
good will and parlor games were
fifty arranged.
The ladies of the church then
served refreshments which con-
sisted of strawberries and ice
cream with cake.
The parlor was beautifully
decorated with plants and cut
flowers. About a hundred
friends were present, and the
esteem in which our departing
teachers are held was evident
by the hearty response of all to
the occasion.

an education is to help one tc
know what to want. Not any
old want, but right wants.
If some beings should come
from Mars to our planet today,
their first problem would be to
determine what they wanted to
be. To do this they must know
what they are potentially.
Your problem is to know your.
self. What am l capable of be-
coming? Like God or like a
devil? We may play Doctor
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde for q while;
but if too long, we may lose the
power to say, l will arise and go
to my father, even if we come
to ourselves.
Ii your education has helped
you to know what you are capa-
BILE of; if it has helped you to
know your times; if it has helped
prepare you to share in setting
times right it has not been in
vain.

institutions. Social institutions
arise to fulfill the wants of the
average citizen, When the peo-
Pile are discontented with their
government, their educational
institutions, their churches and
other social organizations, il
shows that they have ideals OF
something that they think is
better.
All that we value most is
bound up in a society of persons.
Therefore the man of the Twen-
tieth Century must want what
society and its institutions can
give. But society cannot supply
all his wants at present, for in
stitutions move more slowly than
individuals. Hence social unrest.
We are free to get what we
want but none wants to be free
from social wants. No one
wants to be a star and dwell
apart; nor would he want to be a

The Canadian Kipling fifty de-
scribes it;
Hunger not of the belly kind
that's banished with bacon

But the gnawing hunger of lone

that it means.
You ask; Is it a good thing to
be in want? 1t depends on what
you want. If needing physical
comforts will bring one into har.
mony with the eternal realities,
yes. But it is better not to
squander ones inheritance. The
problem is to know what to want
in order to remain at home all
Cne time.
Most of US are like a professor
recuperating from an illness.
He was very hungry and wanted
something mighty badly. but
when asked by the nurse to
make a selection of food, he did
not know what he wanted. Thus
the American people want some
thing mighty badly, but they do
not know what they want. And
so as a nation, we are restless.
Some people throw up their
hands and bemoan the fact that
thereis so much unrest. To me
it is the most glorious thing in
life and the most hopeful sign of
our time. A condition If social

The two conventions played
the game of politics to perfection
to a certain point, when sudden
ly the regulars vainly trying to
prevent the nomination of JUS
tice Hughes were overwhelmed
in the third ballot and the Sec
ond attempt to make presiden-
tial timber out of an alleged legal
giant was successful 80 far as a
nomination was concerned, JUS
Hughes, a United States Supreme
Court Justice to this moment, re-
ceived 949A, Roosevelt 18a, weeks

It is needless to say that when
Col. Roosevelt was nominated in
the Progressive convention i'm
mediately after Justice Hughes
had been acclaimed Republican
leader in the other convention
and when word was received
from him direct from Sycamore
Hill that he would not accept the
nomination at that time, but if
the party desired to leave the
matter of a presidential candi-
date open, he might later change
his mind, there was consterna-
tion, tears. denunciation and
procrastination. Such a bunch
of broken hearts will never per-

convention. Top gone and the
bottom dropping out of canned

settlement of the question left

Upon receiving word that he
had been nominated, Justice
Hughes telegraphed his accept
ance together with sentiments so
closely along the line of those
which had been promulgated and
pushed all over the country by
Col. Roosevelt, that it was no
wonder that a deal was suspec-
ted Of which the body of the
Progressives knew nothing. The
platform of the Republicans also
bore ear marks of the Moose
part and unless some under
standing with the Col. had been
secretly established. no man
among all the astute statesmen
and politicians of the Progress

the existing conditions.
Simultaneous with the writing
of his letter of acceptance and
