PERFECT PATTERN OF CHRIST Rational C rh Idem Unable to Take Away Divine Attributes of th? 9on.?f<5od, It la Christ ratler than God whom Christianity has held np to believers a? the pattern of perfection for human ity. It ls the dod incarnate, rather than the God of the Jews or of nature, who, being idealised, has taken so great and saiatary a hold on the mod ern miad. Arad, whatever else mer be taken away from uti by rational criticism. Christ ls still left; a unique figure, not more unlike all his precur sors than all his followers, even those who had the direct benefit of his per sonal teaching. It ls of no use to say that Christ, as exhibited in the gos pels, ls not historical, and that we know not how much of what ls ad mirable has been superseded by the traditions of his followers. Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of Inventing the sayings ascribed to Jesus, or of Imagining the life and character re vealed in the gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally dif ferent sort; still less the early Chris tian writers, in whom nothing ls more evident than that the good which waa in them was all derived, as they al ways professed lt was, from the high er source.-John Stuart MilL Misuse of Vis. A stroll through the shipping dis trict gives many a wrench to the pur ist's soul. "In front of all the com mission houses," he said, "I see bales and barrels labeled 'via boat* or 'via train.' Why does not somebody tell the shipping clerks that every time they write that they are insulting the English and every other language? 'Via' can be applied properly only to the place through which a parcel passes, not to the means of transpor tation," Don't Expect Kindness. There are six sorts of people at whose hands you need not expect much kindness. The narrow minded think of nobody but themselves, the lazy are too Indifferent the busy have not time to think, the rich disregard ap peals for kindness, th? poor have neither spirit nor ability, and th? good natured fool ls not capable of serving you,-Home Notes.

Sullivan called the pro gram, and then presented the beau tiful prizes that the teacher had offered, in a few well chosen wo rd H, dwelling upon the affection I of teacher and pupils for each oth er. Elizabeth Sullivan won the prise for spelling, Lucile Sullivan for at tendance, and Georgia Coleman for spelling. Mr. Littlejohn made a very able speech and Mr. J. P. Sul livan also made a good talk com plimenting the teacher and pupils, and pictured the wide field of suc cess that is in the future for boys and girls if they only will make use of their opportunities. He spoke of four of our statesmen bas ing his remarks on General M. C. Butler, who had spent his life in the interest of his country, then! Hon. George D. Tillman, who had j made us an able congressman, al ways defending the rights of his people and country as he saw it. These have gone to their reward I and are resting in the shade of the trees, but their influence is still] alive and we can think of them with pride and only wish we had more of such men. Then he spoke of the Hon. Jasper Talbert who has served us so faithfully and ably. A short I history of the life of Benj. R. Till man was given, as he was raised in 5 miles of him, and he is serv ing us now in the U. S. senate and Mr. Sullivan said he supposed he would hold that position as long as he lived or as long as he asked for it. He also pictured to the girls the high positions that now await them and urged them to make use of every opportunity possible to ob tain as education and said the height of his ambition will always be to edscate his children, for the thief could steal your money and gold but could not steal your edu cation.
