There waa bo aaltable building, and no sufficient foods. It waa a subject ol common remark that young people from other aectlona came to the ooi- ' ?gea here wltb batter preparatory training ] tban did Ibe yoatb of Due Weal. , Much Improvement baa beeo made since ibe new acbool waa began two and a half years ago, aad otbtr Improvements were ( hoped for. But now all I bet baa beeo gained , la threatened by an effort to repeal ibe tbree < mill lax. During tbe time tbla tax waa pay- ] lug for tbe property, tbe acbool menaced to meetexpenaee, after ralalng a supplement by cberglng tuition, through tbe use of WOO a wbieb came aver from a year when there was . no public ecbool.

I>lf- 1 flcull and unsatisfactory lias been tbe effort ' heretofore to rata* about three hundred and ' Ally dollars for supplementary tuition. Can I we hope to succeed hereafter In raising the tnueb larger amount by charging a much ' higher tuition * That Is extremely doubtful, li tbe tax be repealed, the only thing that can be done will be to run the school three or four months out of tbe poblle funds, and then If 1 tbe school runs longer, tben every scholar 1 will be required to pay In advance tbe higher , ' rate of tuition. Tbla will probably result In so reducing the number* that tbe sebool will , be compelled to rloee after a Melon of not more than five or alx months. Anticipating this trouble, the trustees elect 'our mootbH only.

God puts consolation only where He' has first put pain. j ^ Indecision i? many a man'* ruin. * This is true npiritually oh well ao tern-, porarlly. We should swk to gather good audi enriching from every experience, rnakling our progre-w ever from more to more. The Htuallcat tiling- have their influence upon character, and upou the | heauty and the helpful new of life. We ought to be growing continually in beauty aud strength of character, however painful our lot in life. That individual who liven only for self, if stupid, is an object for pity ; if I intelligent, an object for censure. If you wish your neighbor* to nee wbat Ciod is like, let them nee what He can make you like. Xothiug in so infectious as example. The rough weather, the storm and the rain, and the chill of cold night*, t will only bleach out the stains and 4 cleanse our life iuto whiteness. All sunshine would not make good fruit, nor would all gladness and Joy yield the richest character. We ueed the dark as well as the light; cold, rough winter as we I as warm, gentle summer. Do to-day's duty, fight to-day's temptatious, and do not weaken and distract yourself by looking forward to things which you cannot see, and could not understand if you saw them. ? Wherever we ?o we should try to leave n bietwing, someinmg wuicn win sweeten another life or start a new song or an impulse of cheer or helpful- T ness iu another heart. ? Being forced to work and forced to do your best will breed in you temppe ranee, self-coutrol, diligence, strength of will, content, and a huudred other virtues which the idle never know. People who do not care for the welfare of any except themselves, or what is practically the same, their immediate * relatives and friends, are a hludrance * rather than a help to all good. Happiness pursued is never over- " taken, because, llltie as we are, God's Image makes us so large that we cannot live within ourselves and be satisfied. " Tribulation worketh patience." r The object of life is to learn to live. We ? are at school here, and sbsll always be at school until wh are dismisned from earth's classes to be promoted into ? Heaven. 11 is a pity if we do not learn " our lessons. Not all Christian people bear loss, sorrow and sickness in this victorious way. Too often do we see men yield- T< l"? in iimiiKlo nnl irmwinir innrn Koan" tiful in soul. but losing their spiritual beauty in life's trials. Thin in not the la way it should be, however. Our char- tr acter should ripen in life's weather, 01 whatever the weather may be. ti< No one falls all at once. What seems " like a sudden fall is really the sudden breaking of a shell from which the in* terior has been gradually removed. A boiler suddenly buret* over on the west side in this city and a half score of men and women are killed, but that boiler bad for many years been preparing for the final catastrophe. Kust and wear had done their work. How much we need the exhortation of the apostle, "Examine yourselves whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves."
