In-order to make the best use of their time later,
farmers should look over their farming implements
now and make the necessary repairs and replace
ments of machinery and tools. Then, when the
land and season beckon for work there need not be
any unnecessary delay over not having good imple
ments and tools.
Look around, see what you need, and let us fill
your requirements with high quality hardware at
moderate prices. *

Chicora College
Likelv Be Consoli-
j
dated With Queens
COLUMBIA. Feb. 21.—That Chi-
cora college be merged with
Queens College, Charlotte, N. C.,
which would mean the removal
from Columbia is the recommend
ation of the permanent committee
on education of the Presbyterian
Synod of South Carolina. The re
port will be made to the synod at
a time to be designated. The
board of trustees of Chicora was
called to meet here today for the
purpose of hearing the commit
tee’s recommendation.
W. G. Querry, chairman of the
board of trustees, said that the
board had learned that the com
mittee oh education had favored
acceptance of the Queens College
offer. Members of the committee
had refused to make any an
nouncement pertaining to the
recommendation.
• The other suggestion had been
to merge with P. C. College at
Clinton.* Both mergers, however,
are on the promises th it SSOO.MO
is not raised for Chicora for en
dowment. In the case that the
amount should be available no
change of status would be neces
sary.
PKEMENAL GAIN
IN TRUST SERVICES
By JOHN G. LONSDALE
President American Bankers
Association
S O phenomenal has been the incraase
of trust business that statisticians
are unable to keep a true record of
Its advancement.
There are now
something like
3,500 active trust
departments i n
banks in America,
while in 1900 only
1G5 active trust
departments had
been established.
In becoming the
custodians or the
guardians of the
property of oth
ers, bankers as- John G. Lonsdale
sume .what has
been fittingly described as one of the
“most exalted human relationships ever
created by law.” They become at once
a big brother, a big sister, an advisor,
or a confessor, sworn so to conduct
themselves that clients will be won to
them by their ability and integrity.
Thousands of little children have re
ceived an education and have been
started off right in life through the
trust department’s safe keeping and
guidance of the family estate, number
less widows have been protected from
merciless stock swindlers, many thou
sands of business men have been re
lieved of troublesome details in the
conduct of their business through the
creation of a living trust and still
others have safeguarded their busi
ness enterprises through life insur
ance trusts.
The favorable reaction of thejmblic
toward trust department service is not
accidental. It may be traced jointly
to the growing intelligence of the
American people in financial affairs
and to advertising to the world at
large the merits of trust services. Ad
vertising used in a sensible, judicious
way is necessary, a power that has ac
complished much good for humanity.
Among the detailed services, ren
dered by a trust department the one
that seems to be winning favor the
fastest is the life insurance trust. Life
irlsurance is the quickest known way
of creating an estate. In reality it af
fords the possessor the ‘opportunity of
setting up a positive ifioneiary safe
guard for his family and then paying
for it on the installment plan.
A married man is net fair to his
family if he fails to carry life insur
ance. I would say to the young man,
“Buy insurance be.iore you buy the
ring,” and to the young woman I
would say, “Marry na man so thought
less as to scoff at life insurance
REVERSES OLD IDEA
Business Institutes Use the Plan
of Getting People to Think
Rather Than Merely
to Learn.
There is one general principle at
the basis of all good teaching and it
is that a person learns more readily
by assimilating the experiences which
he himself encounters than in any
other way, says Harold Stonier, Na
tional Educational Director of the
American Institute of Banking. This
institute is the educational section of
the American Bankers Association
through which 35.000 bank men and
women are receiving scientific instruc
tion in their chasen business.
“The most advanced people in
teaching today are emphasizing the
importance of activity on the part of
the student.” he says. “In the school
room of former clays we often heard
such phrases as, ‘Be still,’ ‘Learn by-
heart,’ ‘Don’t do that/ ‘What does the
book say?’ The newer education
asks. ‘What do you think?/ ‘What was
your reaction to that experiment?.’
‘What did you discover?/ ‘What rea
sons have you for answer?*
The New School Calls for Action
“The ‘expressing’ school is taking
the place of the repressing and lis
tening school. The classroom is be
coming an open forum, a studio of self-
expression, a place of mental growth.
The modern concepts of education are
personal experimentation, individual
investigation, critical discussion and
creative self-expression. The pupil
really learns only as he Is able to
assimilate t4ie new meanings of facts
ami principles with his previous ex
periences. Activities therefore con
stitute the pivotal force around which
are grouped the new f&ctors In educa
tion. The primary responsibility c>f
the teacher is to furnish a constant
stream of activities which will afford
the stimulating urge to mental growth.
“Education is a process of experi
encing, and the program of the insti
tute is so arranged as to give the
greatest opportunity to gain by such
experience. Through this we develop
the art of thinking. Thinking has
been described as the ability to han
dle experience and to bring it to bear
oa a problem. Effective thinking
arises when we are presented with
the choice of conduct. Our previous
experiences become helpful as wa
marshal them aud bring them to bear
upon the matter of our choice.”
The students in the American Insti
tute of Banking by reason of the fact
that they continue to go on about their
employment In hanks while takli^g the
banking asstfeiation’s study courses
have an opportunity to combine learn
ing with practical thinking and action.

of A ! I1.

YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC—Our Lord’s Testimony Concerning
Himself.
I. How the Kingdom Was Received
(ch. 11).
In showing the attitude of heart o?
tiie people, four classes of hearers are
described.
1. The perplexed hearers, like John
the Baptist (vv. 2-11).
John believed that Jesus was the
Christ (v. 2), but was somewhat per
plexed as to the manner of the estah
lishment of the kingdom. The Bap
tist had in his preaching mainly em
phasized the line of prophecy which
made the King to be a mighty con
queror (Matt. :-i:10-!2). He -said that
the ax is laid unto the root of the tree
and that these "was to he a separation
of the chaff from the wheat and a
miming of the chaff. John saw Christ
as the one who would remove the sins
of the people by the shedding of His
blood (John 1:20), but he failed to see
the interval between the tnne of His
suffering and the time of His triumph.
2. Violent hearers (vv. 12-19).
Th: j se we-e willing to receive the
kingdom according to their own way.
but were unwilling to conform to its
laws. They seized it with violent
hands. They would not repent when
called upon to do so by John, nor re
joice to do so when called upon by-
Christ (vv. 17-19).
3. Tiie stout-hearted unbelievers
frvv. 20-24).
In Clmrazin, Bethsnidn and Caper
naum, Christ had done most of His
mighty works, but the people delib
erately set their hearts against Him
and His message. Tyre and Sidon
were filled with immoral profligates
and idolaters, hut they will be more
tolerably dealt with in tiie Day of
Judgment than will those who wil
fully reject Jesus Christ.
4. Hearers who are babes in spirit
(vv. 23-30).
There were some among the people
who heard Jesus with childlike faith.
They believed that Jesus was Hie Mes
siah and opened their hearts to .re
ceive Him.
II. The Antagonism to Jesus
(ch. 12).
in chapter eleven we saw the shame
ful indifference of tiie Jews to their
King. In this chapter we see the posi
tive and hitter antagonism manifest
ing itself against Him. The imm^
diate occasion of their wicked deter
minatinn was Christ’s relation to the
Sabbath.
1. The Son of Man is I.ord of the
Sabbath (vv. 1-S).
The hungry disciples were plucking
corn on tiie Sabbath. With ibis tiie
Pharisees found fault. To their cavils
Christ replied, ami showed that God’s
purpose in instituting the Sabbath was
to serve man’s highest interests and
to contribute to ids happiness.
(1) He is greater than their great
es! King. David (vv. 3. 4). (2) He is
greater than their sacrifice and priest
hood (v. 5). (3.) He is greater than
the temple (v. 0). The temple, with
its gorgeous rites and ceremonies, was
but typical of Himself. (4) He is
greater than the Sabbath (v. 9), for
He is the very Lord of the Sabbath.
2. Healing the withered hand (vv
9 14).
In order that they might accuse
Him, they asked. “Is it lawful to heal
on the Sabbath days?” Jesus’ reply
was both a question and a declaration
3. Tiie unpardonable sin (vv
22-32).
The occasion of their blasphemy
against the' Holy Ghost was the cast
ing out of tiie demon, in this act.
Christ displayed His power to cast
out demons. Tiie effect of this miracle
was twofold: (1) Upon the multi
tude. They were amazed, and cried
out, “Is not lids the son of David?’
(2) Upon the Pharisees. When they
heard what tiie people were saying,
their anger and satnnic malice were
aroused. They said He v-ws casting
out demons h.v the prince of the
demons. With unanswerable logic.
He met their accusations and de
nianded decision. He charged home
upon them their awful guilt. They
had attributed the work of the Holy
Spirit to tiie devil. This Christ calls
the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost,
for which there Is no pardon.
The Last Step Wins
It is the last step that wins, and
there is mo place in the pilgrim’s prog
ress where so many dangers lurk as
the region that lies hard by tiie por
tals of the celestial city. It is when
heaven’s heights are full in view that
hell’s gate is most persistent and full
of deadly peril.—A. B. Simpson.
