"MY SON IfAS GONE
JO COLLEGE."
My son, you have gone out from
your father's house and from under
the watchful cyo of a loving mother;
It is no longer possible for them to
speak face to face with you. You
have entered into a new world whose
environments widely dilTer from that
of tho past. It is my fervent wish
that, you give heed to the advice of a
kindly friend. The tirst of nil: hot
it be clearly realized that you are
entering upon a serious time in the
history of any life, in fact the next
four years that you spend in col'ege
will determine almost, surely your future
career. Under the instruction
of skilled teachers you will find op i
portunitiea for deeping your experience
and widening your intellectual
horizon almost beyond measure. As
the sessions come and go, you will li nd
that you must "put away childish
things." If you are to be a success
in an institution of learning, jou i
must realize that thcro is no royal
road to knowledge. The steady
stroke of the blacksmith at the anvil
produces a mighty muscle in his arm
and it is the sturdy plodding of the
development1 of the trained mind.
Some students, my son, go through
regular periods of industry and laziness,
but these fellows usuilly skip
through by the "skin of their teeth,"
. but invariably form the miserable
habit of inattention which mars their
prospects of success in life. George
Elliot says that genius is an immense
capacity for taking pains, and truer
words were never spoken. You cannot
see the wisdom in many of the
tasks imposed upon you by your
teachers, but bo sure that you take
up these tasks with the faithful resolve
to exert yourself to the btst of
your ability. As yoifr course in college
progresses you will realize the
wisdom of your instructors and when
you get out into the bfoader activities
of life you will find occasion to
feel your gratitude more and more.
My son, you will find voursolf :i?
sociated with young men from the
homes of the lowly and the mansions
of the rich; from the gentle environment
of a Christian home, and from
homes of the Godless and wicked,
and a word with respect to your con
tact with your fellow students will
therefore bo in place. Despise no
man among them; cultivate friendship
among the rich and the poor;
throw some of your best energy into
the making of friends, and you will
find in tho en(\ that many of the
life-long friends of a man are those
he made in his college days, and
some of these who have come from
the homes pf poverty, who show up
so poorly in the midst of those who
have been reared more fortunately,
will some day rise to the position of
men who bring things to pass ir> this
world. The green country bay with
his awkwurd gait will some day ho a
great lawyer or physician, or till
some of the mighty places in tho
world. If you find a kindly heart
speak words of cheer in his ear, get
into his inner lifo and learn lessons
from his experience.
Th.ero are many things which
might be said which are here left unsaid.
My son, do not forget to care
for your body; a trained mind in a
broken body is of little use in a world
like this world. lingular habits,
freedom from vices and systematic
attention will preserve the heal Hi of
your body. Yuiir plav hours are
just as important as your hours of
Study, indeed the college hoy should
regard it afl a sacred duty to take 1
systematic exercise and plenty of j
wholesome sleep. (
In conclnsion; let these word? sir k |
down into your ..er.it: ^our soul is 1
your richest possession; do not ntg- 1
lect its cultivation. A man with &
trained body and ? trained tniud who
is yet devoid of religion has but bocome
a more powerful instrument
for the accomplishment of evil in the
world. Seek the church of your
fathers and worship in the congregation
oi the people there assembled.
Refer to the little book which your
ionu mother placed in y??ur hands
the day you left the parental roof;
ponder its precepts; study its contents;
assimilate its truth.
. l)o not forget to speak often with
your Creator; do not be ashamed to
pray to the Great God. \ man without
faith in God, uo matter what his
accomplishments may be, is like a
ship adrift upon u trackless sea.
A X INCIDENT IN
SELF-DENIAL.
The following incident occurred in
the life of a certain preacher: On a
Sunday morning he was making an
euori co raise money Tor soinc benr.volent.
object. A gentleman In the
congregation expressed his interest
i a the contribution quite liberally.
His xvifo was sitting in the congregation
with the pastor's wife into who*e
o?ir she rcuclicd over and whispered,
"There goes my coat suit for this
winter." A moment Inter the pastor
announced lie would make a contribution.
Thereupon the pastor's wife
whispered to the lady l>v her side,
"There goes my winter jacket."
The writer has no desire to call
into question the sincerity of these
good women, for all he knows they
may have spoken the truth, but he
arises to make tne remark, that if
they did speak the truth, they are in
a hopeless minority. The fact of the
business is, most people give to th
support of religion; what they can
well s.lTord to do without themselves.
This is true with respect to the luxuries
of life as well as the necessities
Where is the man that cuts down his
cigar bill that he may deal generously
with the Lord? Where is the woman
that does without a spring bonnet
in order that alio may contribute
to the support of the religious institutions?
If the spirit of ,seJf-tsnorjfW
i .v.?n>rpstea by the adher- i
ents of Christianity there would be a
truer representation of Jesus Christ,
on the earth. j
And the world would feel its olivet j
more. Many professed Christians
sing,
"Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee,"
and at the close of the hymn, hunt
out a few nickels from the midst of a
fat pocket book and piously drop
them into the contribution basket.
The question as to peace or war
between Turkey and Bulgaria is still
in the balance. It is probable that
a few days will decide the matter.
It now seems that the Tuna ma
<;unal treaty is dead. It is a great
pity that there should bo so much
red tape and wire pulling in an noI
dertuking which promises so much
to civilization. Kither tho Nicaragunn
or the Panama route will
some day be open. But the schemer.-;
can go a great length towards
blocking tlio progress in either direction.
It would seem that the South
would bo the greatest gainer in the
carrying out of one or tlve other of
these plans, and in the very nature
of the case one of these ways will be
some day open.
Hooker '? Washington said in u
recent speech that the negro preacher
during the iast twenty-live or thirty
years has boon the preserver of peace
and harmony between the races
For once we think Hooker T. Washington
sally mistaken. One of the
chief causes of disturbance, up to a
few years ago, was the negro preacher ;
his ignorance and lack of scruples
led him in many instances into foolish
acts. Wo are glad to believe,
however, that in recent years tin re
lias boon a marked change. The
average negro preacher of today is
far superior in education und moral
character to what he^was a few years
past, and today tho best men in the
negro ministry are helping to solve
the question wisely. The negro
preacher of the future will doubt)?**
I?e one of the most potent, factor* in
bringing about a solution that will
