poor in educa tional funds The tax rate for education is lamentably low. But it is not feasible to tax the aver age citizen too high to give a few the privileges and luxury of higher educa- tion. Hence the need of the Christian college-yea, of several Christian col leges supported by the larger Chris tan bodies-to supplement the states efforts and thus keep down the tax rate for higher education, while at the same time larger sum of state money can be spent on the secondary schools for the masses.
 3. The state needs the Christian col iege to save the state schools from ir-
 eligious rationalism. Germany built he most colossal system of state ichools, but she had no private Chris ian colleges to- curb the rationalist.c naterialistic irreligious and unethical endencies of purely intellectual edu- cation. III fares the land where the state schools are uncurbed by Chris ian colleges. Bishop Welsh has well aid: "Education without religion is imply veneering rotten wood" Chris lanity, however, makes intellectual aulture, the polish of real living. owing soul. The Christian college makes possible an answer to the prayer of Tagore and will give us
 Where the clear stream of reason has not lost it's way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit.
 Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action"
 4. The Christian college produces the highest type of symmetrical culture, physical, intellectual, and spiritual Y develops the whole man in symmetry and proportion. Christian education realizes the dream of the author of Democritus: Education makes the body hard, the heart soft, the head right" Only that education which is touched by Christian ty can do this for as George Elliot has said: Culture for cultures sake can produce only sapless root capable of producing only a shriveled branch.
 5. The Christian college imparts just that type Of education which Jan help the state in the proper solution of it's social and moral problems. As Robert Browning well expressed 1t:
 'I say the acknowledgment of God in
 Christ,
 Accepted by thy reason. solves for thee All questions in the world. and out of it,
 And hath so far advanced thee to be
 wse.'

LIFk
(By R. A. Ward.)

(By R. A. Ward.)
CHILDHOOD is life's early joyous
spring-time,
With all its Joys; It has its cares
and crosses.
Some trials are severe and hard to
bear,
And broken toys may seem like
heavy losses.
They live but little in the days gon,
by;
Think little Of the coming of to-
morrow,
Content to share the blessings Of to-
day,
Unmindful of future joys or sor-
row.
YOUTH is life's glad and busy sum-
mer-time,
With buoyant step we press life's
upward way;
Flowers are blooming all along our
path,
To yield their fruitage at some flu
ture day.
We scan the hill-tops in the MONDAY
sun,
And seek for daily strength to win
the goal,
When our life's long race is fully
run,
And complete success has crowned
the whole.
MATURITY is life's golden harvest
time,
When we have reached the hill
tops gilded crest;
We may not have done all that we had
planned,
And often feel inclined to stop and
rest.
But all our labors are not yet com
plete,
Nor has our earthly race been fully
run,
Hut we have reached the pinnacle at
last,
And looking toward the setting Of
the sun.
OLD AGE denotes the winter-time Of
life,
Our path leads down it's rugged.
steep decline
That brings us to our earthly Jour.
ney's end,
For we are drawing near the bor-
der line;
A backward view Of life's upward way
Produces feelings, both Of 10Y and
pain,
But our mistakes cannot be rectified
For we shall never pass this way
& ~ again.

Our editorial squib of Saturday rel
ative to the difference in the price OF
gasoline in this city and in Plant City
called forth one response, from local
dealer, which is printed elsewhere
We admit all that is said in the reply,
but it yet does not seem to answer the
question involved. We do not take
the position that the local dealers are
charging an eXorbitant profit on gaso.
line, and we are entirely willing that
they should have reasonable profit.
But somehow, somewhere, we contend
there is something wrong when gaso.
line can be hauled past Plant City,
on twelve miles to Lakeland, unloaded
here, and then hauled back by truck
to Plant City, and there sold for
cents per gallon less than it sells for
in Lakeland. We are reliably in.
formed that the wholesale price
charged Lakeland dealers is from /
to ~ cents higher than at other
point in this section. If we are in
error in these statements, we will
cheerfully correct them. Now, as the
Lakeland Auto & Supply Co. says,
this is not big thing, perhaps; and
yet, with the quantity OF gasoline sold
In Lakeland, it is not email thing.
1t doesn't take big thing to rile a
man when there is a discrimination,
or principle involved. A man who
buys gasoline for rs cents in Plant
City and comes over to Lakeland and

favorable impression Of the city. It
Is not the matter of ten or fifteen
cents additional he has to pay, but
he resents being dug up" as it ap-
pears to him. People do not object to
paying an increased price for any
article or commodity when there is a
valid reason for the increase; but they
do object to an increase where no
reasonable excuse for 1t can be given.
We do not attempt to say who is to
blame; we are merely calling atten.
ton to a condition that should not
exist. And we venture to say that il
this condition is not corrected, and

other places, somebody is going to
find and apply means for remedying
the situation.
