NEW RECTORY OF EPISCOPALS
 IS HALF BUILT

The Episcopal church rectory is now half completed and Rev. Finn will cease work with tools for a couple of weeks ,and take trip to Valc-z.
 Seven months ago the excavation was started for the basement of the rectory. Gradually Rev. Finn raised funds and gradually the rectory took shape until now it is one of the best looking residences in Seward, all out side work being finished and doors and windows being in. The next step will be the plumbing, then wiring, Iathing and clustering and the inside finish ing.
 Rev. Finn, if he keeps up his same record as he has on the building SO far, will have the rectory ready for occupancy by spring.
 The building was planned by Rev Finn and the interior arrangements are those that, while not elaborate, fulfill all requirements for years to come. Built-in dressers, sideboards, etc., clever arrangements of cabinets of various kinds and the general de- tails are the work of a genius. Rev Finn is to be congratulated on his showing and should naturally feel pleased with himself at his undertak- ing.

ened. Many believe educa- ton to be 8 matter only of books and school, but the child is educated by what he does as we'll as by what he studies or reads. The youth who spends his time in idleness, in dissipa- tion, who indulges himself in falsehoods, in acts of cruelty, insolence, deception, rudeness and lawlessnes is sowing the seeds of utter uselessness and depravity whose fruitage will be hoodlums and vandals.
 Courage will power and character are wrought by the courageous acts of humanity we perform and not by those we dream or read about. In the development of a noble manhood Lincoln had a train ing such as the winner of any intercollegiate honors might envy. His giant strength was always at the service of the poor, the weak and the dis tressed.
 Limit of space prevents more than a brief mention of a few of the deeds by the doing of which Lincoln fabricated the warp and wool of his character His carrying the dog across the river in answer to his piteous appeals; his delivered correc- ton of a short weight tea or der; his thrashing of the bully, Jack. Armstrong;; his rescue from freezing of a notorious drunkard; his pulling corn three days for a damaged book; his payment of the entire national debt;" his resolve, "If I ever get a chance to hit this thing (slavery) I will hit it hard" his climbing a tree to replace some fedglings fallen out of the nest into the road /; and last, but not least, his rail splitting.
 The result of this training is plainly seen in the following episodes: In 1887 while Lin- coin was a member of the Hi nois legislature, that body passed resolutions denouncing the anti-slavery movement. Later, Lincoln protested a. gainst the resolution and de- nounced slavery on the ground of injustice and bad policy. On ly one other member had the courage to sign the protest. Thus Lincoln early identified himself with the anti-slavery cause at a time when such es- pousal offered no chance for political preferment. When the Southern leaders broke faith with the North by enact ing the Kansas-Nebraska Law repudiating the Missouri com promise and opening the terri tories to slavery, Lincoln's in- dignation could no longer be restrained and he became the avowed and accepted champi- on of freedom in his own state which was the only state whose legislature approved the Kansas-Nebraska law. In 1858, when told by his friends that his "house divided 
 speech if delivered before the Illinois Republican convention would bring defeat upon his party and consign him to po- litical oblivion, his noble and fearless reply was: Friends, the time has come when these sentiments should be uttered and if it is decreed that l should go down because of this speech, then let me go down linked with the truth"

tlments were ever couch in more befitting language than his Gettysburg address, second inaugural and letter of condoI- ence to a breaved mother. They are masterpieces of literature comparable with the best piece of English prose ever produced. A copy of his letter of condol- ence to Mrs. Bixby hangs on a wall of the Oxford University, England, as a model of elegant literature which the world has never excelled.
 On the memorable battle field of Gettyburg, Edward Everett, considered the most gifted and scholarly orator then living, delivered a two hours oration. Lincoln follow ed him with the immortal Get tysburg address consisting of about fifty lines. Everett's spe- ech is now seldom read. The speech of the cultured rail splitter is admired as the most perfectly adapted to the oc- casion of any speech ever de- livered and it is studied in our colleges and universities as a model of style in composition.
 Whence came this power of expression? I believe this can be explained as naturally as the development of his character. His first attempts at, compost tion were crude and bomastic. Behind al improvement, lite rary or other, there must be a desire for excellence. Lincoln, no doubt, early in life saw the importance of expression as a prerequisite to leadership. See him scrawling notes from books on the logs of the cabin or any handy board If in read ing he came across an idea or phraseology that pleased him, he would write it in a copy book. He so excelled in spell ing that he was debarred from the spelling contests. He had such a passion for books and reading that he borrowed and read every book within ra- dius of fifty miles. When a dic- tionay fell into his hands, he devoured it page for page. He read with as much avidity a copy of the statutes of Indiana as most boys would read a de- tective story. He would walk fifteen miles to the county seat to listen to the arguments of lawyers and afer returning home would hold mock trials and from stumps deliver speeches to the field hands. Dur ing. his store-keeping eXperi- ment at New Salem he would often be found sprawled out at length on a counter studying grammar which he had walked six miles to borrow and which most boys of today would walk six miles to avoid. Nothing de- lighted him more than a day spent unmolested out of town reading a book. After finding a copy of Blackstone's commen- taries on the common law, he was often seen lying under the shade of a tree near the store devouring it's contents. He walked a distance of twenty miles to borrow law books and read diligently on the way back. Lincoln himself said that when he heard a word or phrase he could not understand he would sometimes walk the floor late in the night until he comprehended the meaning and was able to express the same thought in language so simple anyone could under
