WATCH THAT GET
TOGETHER PRO.
PROSITION
By r. B. Porter.

In scanning the columns of the
many demoninational papers (BaptisD
that we have on exchange in the Office,
noticing, particularly the different
writer's upon the great cOntrovsy
that is nation wide in its scope and
too, to say that it is controversy
that has eaten into the very vitals of
our denOminational life it woundn't
he making a statement that is foreign
to truth for those of us who have
watched carefully the onward sweep
ing tide and its destruCtiveness have
wondered and contemplated when and
where the end would come and be, but
taking all of this in consideration, we
would do well to go slow and consider
carefully every step upon that get
together proposition, remembering
that it was not men that caused our
separation, but measures not suppose
tions but facts, not triiles but prinCi-
pals.
There are several brethren writing
upon the propose peace idea or in
other words the get-tO-gether idea,
suggesting a compromise. Let us con-
slider what compromise means. In
a sense it means sacrifice of some
contention or principel that the two
c0niending factions have been holding
on to, and claiming the righteousness
Of the stand taken, or in other words
it means giving and taking. The
reader here will not mistake the spirit
of the scribe of these lines to be OPP
rosing the coming together Of this our
great Baptist Zion, for no man in the
denomination would rejoice more
when the day comes that we can
Baptistically scripturally and consist
emily get together, but we do here and
now enter our most serious protest
upon coming together on the PROPOSE
ton of compromise for the reason
principle do not change, they will be
the same throughout time and eterni'
| ty. We have been saying and still
saying that our brethren who may
| be regarded as our opponents, dis
regarded, ignored and set aside some
of the fundamental principle of the
Baptist Church for which the fathers
died and run rough shod over the
prerogatives of orthodox Baptis
preachers and laymen, and set a
naught the sovereignty of the church
coupled with the spirit of destructive
ness along with the ambition of be
coming church dictators and bosses
We protested against such proce
dure and declared ourselves in favO
of the above named things wha
they ignored and the spirit with whicl
they are possessed. If we were righ
then we are right now.
Then we ask the question what hav
we to sacrifice, what have we to offe
then as a compromise? A getting tC
gether upon compromise, to my wa
of thinking it doesn't mean substaI
tiOnal peace There isn't but the on
way of getting together so that W
might stay together and that is, fo
the man or men who are wrong an
have sense and religion enough to sc
their wrongs and confess them. Th
burden of truth as to who is wron
and as to who is right will be brougl
out in my next article, for we sha
endeavOr to give to the public seye
. al article son this subject.

Prof Cameron had been a teacher

held high place in the esteem of
both pupils and parents. In the first
year of high school the study of sci

PHYSICAL Geography. This subject
deals with the composition OF the
soils and rocks, the reason and result
OF the changes in the external shape
OF the earth; the causes OF the
changes in the appearance of the
mountains, in the turned courses OF
rivers, and the results of these are
learned by the student. The medi-

During the second year high school
chemistry is studied. This science
treats with the composition of sub
stances and the changes which they
undergo. ID defines energy matter
the law of the conservation of mat

Properties of matter, motion, mechan

"This speech went home to Jones
heart, and he did not mention Milo's
name again that day. He was trying
to think of plan to turn Clarissa
against Milo.
CHAPTED w.
During the winter months Milo
would meet Clarissa at different tea
rooms and they would spend happy
evenings together.
One evening as she passed through
the corridor on her way out of a
building to wait for Milo, she was at
tracted by. a very beautiful woman
gazing in her direction. There was
a look in the woman's dark eyes
which puzzled Clarissa, for she was
sure she did not know the woman,
but she soon forgot her But the
woman did not forget her. She
started to follow Clarissa but instead
said with a frown on her face:
$50 she is the girl he loves. She
is very beautiful, the kind men love
but | would give my life to have him
for my own"
The woman had said this with her
hands in her face. Presently maid
came in and asked her if she was i'll
or could she do anything for her al
which she replied, mo" After the
maid had gone the woman went il
the direction she had seen Clarissa
go.
In another part of the city very
beautiful dark woman walked III
and down a long room. She seemed
to be nervous but she was in a deel
study. She was waiting for a man

"All right | will be silent until
you have finished" well, Milo
asked me point blank If l would
give you to him."
'"And what did he say?" cried
Clarissa.
"You promised not to say one word
until have finished"
The judge finished and as he told
Clarissa that Milo was coming to pay
her call she tripped upstairs to
dress. Clarissa was disappointed for
Milo did not come.
The night before Milo Davis had
been kept waiting until almost three
o'clock waiting for his brother AS
Milo opened the door, John fell at
his feet.
John, how could you?"
"Aw, don't scold me this time and
will tell you what happened"
"Who were you with? | saw the
man but did not know him to be one
of your friends"
"He wasn't my friend until to-
night. He is Assistant District At

And you drank with him? l
thought he hated you," said Milo in
surprise.
HE did until tonight He asked
about you. He said he heard you
were going to set married"
Milo LETT his brother and went to
his room. The next morning John
was too i'll to go to his Office.
A few evenings after the preced-
ing events the judge said to Clarissa:

Clarissa was desirous to meet hel
fathers friend for the judge talked
so much of him.
When Attorney Jones came the
judge said, This is my daughter
and Clarissa raised her head with g
charming smile.

"I've never been asked. / think

"Well," Jones said rather slow

The judge laughed and said in

One evening John accepted an in

THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHE-
MATICS.

This department being considered
somewhat of difficult branch, one
would imagine that 1t was not very
popular among the students, but not
so. When opportunity was given for
dropping the subject and taking up
English instead, the pupils showed
good judgment in pursuing this
branch, that they may obtain the dis
cipiine needed hereafter in the varl-
GUS walks of life. To see them DEM
onstrating problems in Geometry, or
solving Algebraic puzzles would de-
light you.
1t is not impossible to prepare and
encourage the brightest minds to go a
step further in higher mathematics,
even OF the study of engineering. This
department is under the charge of
