CHRISTIAN' INDICATION. Put Your Itoys and (iirls in Christian Schools. The crying need in the world today is for well trained men and women. These can be best developed in our Christian homes and Christian schools. I say Christian homes, for there is where Christian education begins or ought to begin. When a mother or father reaches I I#-. fiff" JOiBP wwp?j-1 i ifo?f i CAC Ullkc the most careful inquiries as to whether a religious spirit exists and a proper regard is paid to developing moral and religious characters of the students. Better send a boy a thousand miles to a college pervaded with a religious spirit (provided it does not depend upon the religious spirit to cover its intellectual poverty.) if such an institution can be found at that distance, than to send him twenty miles away to one where the sole object is educating the intellect." How true! Then how great would be the folly to send the thousand miles if the Christian schooi is right at my door. Man leains by experience, by education. commonly so termed.(men and books) and by faith. Sad for that child who at his mother's knee has learned some things under the tutorship of the spirit and then in CARL An Apropos Fortune. "Once," said William McAdoo. former assistant secretary of the navy and former police commissioner of New York, "When I was younger I went up-state in New York to make a political speech. .Mrs. McAdoo was nylfVi mo Wo orrivoH in ilhflllV f>Tl a chilly, rainy, miserable October afternoon. It was cheerless at the hotel, cheerless in the city and cheerless everywhere. Mrs. McAdoo had a cold. I had a cold. The outlook for the meeting' was not good. "We went out for a walk despite the rain. We walked through the park, Mrs. McAdoo the while reading me a lecture on the futility of politics which I could not answer, for what she said was true. .lust as she reached her peroration, in which she was telling me what an ass 1 was for remaining in politics or having anything to do with that pursuit, we came to weighing machine. "It was one of those weighing machines that plays music, weighs you and drops out a card telling your fortune, all for a nickel. As Mrs. McAdoo was getting to her closing and unanswerable sentences I stepped on the machine, dropped in my nickel, heard the music tinkle, and waited for the machine to deliver the card with my fortune. "The machine clucked. The card came out. just as Mrs. McAdoo finished in a grand burst of declamation. I read the card. It said. 'Do not be discouraged. Your second marriage will he happier than your first.'"?Saturday Livening Post. Not Troubled with Intellect. A physiologist came upon a hardworking Irishman toiling bareheaded. in the street. "Don't you know," said the physiologist. "that to work in the hot sun without a hat is bad for your brain?" "D'ye think." asked the Irishman, "that Oi'd be on this job if Oi had enny brains?" the point where they must send the child to the teacher because "I just can't do a thing with him at home." that child's Christian education is deficient in the very outset. It is one step from a miracle if the teacher ever gets such a power ov?r him as to lilt him. however true a Christian the teacher may be. It is evidently the Divine pin. that these fundamental principles and laws that run all thro* true all round education must first be studied at mother's knee and by the -IT J - iBBI >ETS OF CARLISLE FITTING SCHOO that critical period of young manhood when he is touching men and books finds himself under a teacher who cares nothing for the faith of his childhood. "Some locks can be unbolted by the key of faith only." Well for the youth if he enters upon life thoroughly prepared to open those doors that yield to the turn of the intellectual key. provided the securing of this key has not led him to throw away the key of faith.

Then the height of folly is for parents to put out their energies to the highest end for the child up to the period when that boy is to go out from the parental roof and at this critical period in life select a school that is any other than Christian in it's every particular.

FRANK BAMBERG, PKKPAKATOKY SCHOOLS. A Strong Argument for Their Support by Mr. M. VY. Brabham. When a few decades back the father wished to send his son or daughter to school, there was no choice for hint except between the old field school and no school at all. and the usual condition was that a few broken months of schooling finished the education of the youth or maid. The great step from the common country school to the college walls was too great to be overcome by the many, and it was only the few who received a higher education. The need for intermediate schools has long been felt, but has not for so long been realized. The apparent advantage of having a school which will take the pupil from the country schooi or town graded school and give him or her special training towards a life work and a higher education, holds good when it is looked into from every stand point. The need of the country is trained minds, whether it is to be for the farm, or the professions, or for the commercial lines of life: the x A 5 TCE^KB h^KJUSHBI ' -,XV^ ^ TEAH Klauber's Specials.

The old motto of "Nothing too much" can be applied here as elsewhere. A man does not need too much education; the very fact that it is too much implies that it is more than good for him. But few men or women ever stand in danger of obtaining too much training. The great peril is 011 the other hand. And what is there that will give the opportunity to the young man or young woman anxious to obtain a good foundation unless it is the preparatory school? Based ^ r* * ? ?- ? ..

The story of Aaron Burr's marriage in his old age to the widow of Stephen Juniel, who was well known in the early history of New York city, is a dramatic one. Conceive, if you will, the picture of Burr, gifted adventurer that he was. broken in health, branded in the popular mind as the murderer of Alexander Hamilton and returning from a long exile to tind himself an outcast in the city where he had once been the political monarch of ail he surveyed and a distinguished figure in society and at the bar. Conceive, if you can. this lamentable old man. smirking through his wrinkles. 1.owing and prancing rather stiffly because of his rheumatic joints and with his mouth full of pretty platitudes. paying court to the widow of Stephep Jumel. herself in the prime of years and health. Remove from the picture its surface incongruities, and you have a bit of pure pathos un I on what the student has learned, : the high school, such as the Car- : lisle Fitting School, stands ready to develop the student further. There minds which have been trained by other well trained minds, take hold of the pupil and lead him or her out to higher things. There Christian men who have been j seeking for the truths of life and I of experience, are ready to impart ; to the receptive mind.the facts which i they have learned from others, or ! thought out for themselves. There it is that the pupil is to receive what is in many cases to constitute their life tools. The grind stone is applied to the dull mind to make it i capable o-' meeting the strenuous themes of the times. Themes of celery kind are alloted to mankind dai-j i lv. and if perchance the mind is 1111 (ready rs> combat the task with tlu-j j power to perform, the duty is failed ! of completion, and that much of life' is a failure. The man or woman with the j bright mind is in need of training j as well as the person of the slow j mental faculties. So matter how J bright or sharp a man's wit may be. j unless there be studious and well di-l rected training, the life work will i not be as well accomplished as it I would have been if the conditions! had been otherwise. Prepare while the period for preparation is at hand' and when opportunity for perform-! I ance conies, the preparation will not have been 111 vain. The middle ground of education is just as important as the foundation. Of course the foundation is necessary first, but when the foundation is laid, then it is that real work may begin, and here is where the great need for first class and well equipped high schools conies in.

In many cases these institutions are establishing such pr<~ ? paratory schools so that they can have a preparation which gives earful and particular attention to directing the mind to a higher aud fuller education! Often the young man or woman ? is confronted with the question just as they stand at the end of the country school or village school, "after ' this, what next." And then looms up the great rospeet of the preparatory school and ambition demands 4 more and the innate nature of mankind calls out tor more mind food and the result is the entrance to t the high school where trained minds are at work. And the truly anxious boy or girl overcomes all obstacles and goes to some good school and there learns of the possibilities in store for them. The store house or* education is open to any one in this * day and the key to success is through that store house. The keys * to every department of success are found hidden away in this vast room called "education" by some hut more truly explained as "application 1 of the mind for the purpose of be ing trained." Support of an institution which has for its aim and purpose that of helping some young man or woman, 4 is not charity, but self preservation, as some one has truly said. And here in this section of the country where men and women are going out each day into the wider fields of life, shall we not aid in preserv- f ving and helping to improve a Godgiven blessing, our own preparatory school? The need is for us to supply, not necessarily by the giving of money, but the good word which any institution needs in order for it to ? grow and prosper. M. W. BRABHAM. Bamberg, S.
