Snyder, of Columbia, came up aDd treated the audience to a Sne lecture. He advocated inculcating in the minds and hearts of children right ideas and right principles rather than allow them sow wild oats and then have to use a lemon squeezer to extract the meanness He compared the religion of a lot of people to an old well pump that ha3 to be primed every time you want to get a little water.
