He was not much interested in religious af- fairs, and this was a difficult ques- tion for him to answer. “\Vell, Dr. Hill,” he finally said, “it is very hard to prepare a drug for that kind of sickness because they do not understand that it is a symp- tom of insanity. In fact it is a contagious disease spreading in all directions. Yet there is one good thing to say about it: it usually leaves a person after a short time.” Dr. Hill laughed. “So you think it is some kind of sickness,” he said. “Then it is very likely that both you and I can earn something by it. If such is the case we ought to be thankful. Cases and money is what we are seeking; but what if this contagious disease should affect also us, Mr. Thorn ?" “Don’t be anxious on my ac- count. If I should be affected I ask you, as my best friend, im— mediately to bring me to an asylum for insane people,” said the other. “\Vell, Mr. Thorn, I am glad to hear that one man at least is of my opinion, and I think that our party will soon be in majority." In the evening the second meet— ing was to be held. Shortly before the appointed time Ralph went to the place where Rev. Jordan stayed to have a conversation with him. He was shown up to his private room. Having been introduced he sat down while the minister looked at him with piercing eyes. Rev. Jordan understood that the young man had a special cause for com- ing. and that he must try to win his confidence. “Did you attend the meeting last night?” he asked in a friendly way. Ralph answered in the affirma- tive and said he enjoyed the meet— ing very much. They conversed for some time without approaching the subject which Ralph had come to speak on. Then the minister said: “This ev— ening I shall speak only a short while. After that each Christian will have a chance to give a brief testimony. I hope you will give yours, Mr. \Yilliams.” Ralph shook his head and ans— wered: “I don't think I shall have courage to do it." Then he told Rev. Jordan how he had been dis- obedient to his conscience the prev— ious evening. The minister had by this time won his confidence, and Ralph told him what his aim was. He also told him that he could not realize his thoughts since his father was opposed to the idea. Rev. Jordan seemed to be very much interested and was more hopeful in regard to the final out— come than Ralph was. “And you Show less

It does not limit itself to any special course. but seeks to prepare men and women for life by teaching subjects that will develop the whole of man and thus bring forth a well- rounded manhood and womanhood. it does not especially aim at mak— ing good lawyers, physicians, chem- ists. and merchants: but to make men. well—developed men. both physically and mentally. Howev— er. tube successful in the above named professions a college edu— cation is necessary. \\'hatever pro— fession a man takes up he will meet with the problems and (lif— ficulties of life; and equipped with a college education he will be bet— ter able to solve them. I believe this, because a college education helps to develop the whole man. It yields for each life that it helps to fashion strength. culture. and character. ;\ college education does not only inform the mind, but also invigorates the will. The world is full of men who have no power of persistent effort, They are cast back and forth upon the stormy sea of life. They have no aim, no purpose, except to live in some way; and some seem even to be devoid of this thought. They may have prepared themselves for one certain vocation and beyond this they cannot go. Their view of life is narrow and limited. A college education makes the intellect and purpose grow strong by surmounting obstacles. and pressing on to higher ends.‘ He who conquers difficulties once will more easily succeed a second time. A student must meet and conquer many a difficulty during his college life. He must grapple vigorously with unwelcome tasks and investigate patiently till a safe conclusion is reached. Men and women who have thus learned to surmount obstacles during their college life will be better prepared to go into the world and live a life worth while, both to themselves and their fellow—men. \\’hi1e the greatest value of a college education may be subject- ive. that is. the increased power of the student himself. there is also an objective value of the work ac- complished. \Vhether a man wish- es to take up medicine, law. chem— istry, or any other profession a college course is valuable and al— most necessary. Some seem to think that “the best college course is the shortest" and take as little of it as possible before entering upon a professional course. The result is a great number of incap— able lawyers and physicians that are a disgrace to their profession, and men that are failures in other professions. They are in the “bus- Show less

It may seem strange, but it is nev- ertheless true that the ringing of bells at this time of year has a wonderful influence. The very chime has in it something that draws the attention back to the lowly manger in Betlehem where more than nineteen hundred years ago was born a little babe —. the Saviour of mankind. The wonder- ful music seems blended with an- gels’ voices and the heavenly voice which was heard by the shepherds seems to repeat again to the world: "Glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and good will to men.” With this joyous tiding yet fresh in memory' we enter into a new year. The door of the old 'year is closed on us. The days of 1910, whether they were dark and dreary, full of sorrow and trou- ble with nothing but thorns to pave the way, or they were bright and happy, filled with pleasure and hope, have all been snatched from us and given to the past never again to return except to memory. hit tho the old year is no more, the door to the new is wide open and something at the entrance seems to invite us to enter and to proceed a‘step further in the walks of life which we have chosen. \Vith the beginning of a. new year come thoughts of different nature. Most common are these: Have I made use of the 01d year so well as I might? were there not many things that could have been done better? Such are the minds of many men and women when the month of January comes around. And yet they complain of so little being accomplished. Life seems to be “but an empty dream". But we must remember that life is what we make it. If we do noth- ing but worry, if we think of noth« ing but that which could have been done in the past there will be little room for thoughts of pro- gress, with the result that we will be of little or no value in life.

Likewise, that discussions concerning differ— ences of opinion should be settled at a general meeting. No mar- ginal notes should be given except explanation of Hebrew and Greek words. but on the contrary, mar- ginal references from one passage of the Bible to another were en— couraged. Changing of chapters should be avoided as much as pos- sible. The work completed in 1611. Truly. a great work! It has kept the protestant world from isolation. Even the political and religious wars that have fol- lowed since that commemerative year have not been able to break that tie which binds them together. No work done has had such in— fluence on the English speaking people as this, but its influence is indeed more farreaching. In trans- lating the Bible into more than four hundred languages and dialects the authorized version has been used as basis. and only God knows how much influence it has had in bring- ing the people nearer to their Creator. “’85 * * * To the benefit of those who may wonder or be in doubt why a re- vision, as that which was made be- tween 1881*1885, was needed. I shall quote the words of J. Pat- terson Smyth B. D., L L. D.; "In the present day we have ac- cess to a treasury of ancient manu- scripts, versions, and quotations, such as the scholars of King James’ day had never dreamed of; (2) that the science ,of textual criticism, which teaches the value and the best methods of dealing with these documents, has entirely sprung up since; (3) that our scholars are better acquainted wtih the sacred languages, and able to distinguish delicate shades of meaning which were quite lost on their predecessors; and (4) lastly. that owing to the natural growth of the English language itself many words in the Authorized Version have become obsolete. and several have completely changed their meaning during the past three hundred years.” The. 0. THE VALUE OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION. There are many people in our day, who cannot see the value of a college education. Yes, there are even many who say it is simply a waste of time and that it offers no reward. \Yhy not take up a course of study which will offer immedi- ate returns in cash? \Vhy waste your time in studying subjects for which you will have no practical use?

It has been said in our days that books, and especially newspapers will take the place of the living voice. Never will they do so! It seems as if the miracle of modern times is the press, but it can never take the place of the orator. It is only given to him who stands before men with the seed of know—_ ledge in his hand to open the fur- rows in the living souls of men, to sow the seed. and cover the fur- rows again—“hen a poet on a morning in spring beholds the beauty of nature, the glory of the creation, the divine harmony that sounds thru the universe. he lifts up his voice with the Bible poet and exclaims: “The heavens de— clare the glory of God. and the firmament showeth his handi- work." But he does not stop here. His eyes seem to look beyond the skies. and so he adds: “But the creator is greater than the crea— tion." Great is the advancement of civilization. mighty are the en- gines of .force, but man is greater than that which he produces, great— er than his laws and institutions. Therefore the orator—the liv— ing voice, the greatest force on earth among men—~cannot die, be- cause he is greater than his ora— tion, as the musician is greater than his instrument. His voice sfi i,i‘ fl air, __ s. _ __ __ __ ___ has been needed in periods of trial 'and tribulation of mankind from the earliest ages to the present time. And, in closing, permit me to say. that, as long as there are wrongs to be redressed, so long as the strong oppress the weak, so long as injustice sits in high places, so long as class and caste systems exist. humanity will call for the voice of the orator ,to proclaim truth. justice. and peace and to preserve the liberty of mankind. Adolph Fttrrc. RALPH. (Continued from last Issue.) "There could be no good excuse for his coming home so late. He simply disregards his father's coni- mand. and anything like that will not be tolerated by me.” Mrs. \l'illiams sighed. She knew it was of no use to oppose her hus— band. She had long time before given up her independence and yielded her will to his. As Ralph came down in the din— ing—room the next morning he saw Agnes’ father coming towards the house. As soon as he had entered the room he went over to Ralph and grasping his hand he said: “You are a brave boy.

Hence it follows that the introduction is the predominant part of an oration, because the purpose of an intro- duction in oratory is to win the audience as well as to introduce a subject for discussion. Aristotle says: “That from the outset the purpose is to gain admission, as it were, into the mind of the audi—' ence, and to establish a bond of sympathy between the speaker and the heater. For without some bond of sympathy and good feeling, an audience will not be Open to en- lightenment or persuation." Quin- tilion writes: “In giving an intro— duction to his speech the orator must have as his object the prepa— ration of his hearers to listen more readily and attentively.” From this it follows that the introduc— tion must possess certain qualities which will tend to dispose the au- dience favorably toward the speak- er. The most important of such qualities are: Calmness. serious- ness, and politeness. Calmncss in language is demanded in an intro- duction, because the audience at the beginning is apathetic and un— moved. Scrionsnesr is indispens- able if the orator would exercise any considerable influence over his hearers. The subjects of the best orations do not offer any room for levity or pleasantry. They are subjects that concern the temporal or spiritual welfare of our fellow—men. ' Quintilion writes: "Only a seri- ous, earnest speaker can convince or persuade an audience when great interests are at stake.” The pulpit orator above all others, says Fenelon, is required to be serious. On his words depends the salva- tion of souls. ..Politcncss—the third quality that we mentioned—should also be revealed in an introduction. It will help, perhaps, more than any of the others to pave the way to the hearts of the audience. An audience like society, is won by courtesy. The slightest trace of vulgarity therefore should be avoided. Quin- tilion writes: “The first impres— sion that a speaker makes upon an audience ought to he unmistakable evidence that he is a gentleman.” The form of politeness most pleas- ing to an audience is modesty in the personal claims of the speaker. Cicero .says: “Whatever be the ta— lent or reputation of the oratOr, he cannot afford to parade it; he must exercise a becoming reserve. Affectation of any kind ruins an orator, as it does an actor.” Ci- cero always showed the greatest re- spect for the audience. The appeal to the passion is also a great factor in an oration. It does not, however, belong to the introduction, but comes gradually Show less

The agent of the station showed them what they looked for and asked in a sarcastic way: “Are you going to have intoxicating liquor at your party, Ralph ?" Ralph blushed and looked down, but soon he raised his eyes again. and looking the man straight in the eyes he said: “I didn’t know anything about it, and I don’t like to see the wine used at the party.” The expressman took the boxes and placed them in his wagon. “Do you want to ride ?” asked he as he himself took the driver‘s seat. “N0,” answered Ralph. “I prefer to walk home.” The man drove someone down Goodby 3" will away while AUGSBURG EKKO IQ on Ralph walked slowly toward his home.

Having enter- ed he kneeled and asked the Lord for strength to refuse the tempt— ing glass and say “no” to the per— son who might offer it to him. His fear of yielding to the temp— tation disappeared, and it was with a happy expression on his face that he entered his home.

Shortly after she published in the ‘.".merican Review" an article in which she criticised a transla- tion that had recently appeared of some of the minor poems of Goethe and Schiller. The atten- tion that these articles brought her are said to have encouraged her very much. A short time after her father’s death she went to Boston, Mass, on a visit. Boston was at that time the center of American cul— ‘ture. Here she met with a band of powerful intellects. SJLll asMar— garet Fuller. (Ossoli), Ralph \Valdo Emerson, and Charles Sumner. Among these immortal statues of American national life were also the distinguished philan- thropist and reformer. Dr. Samuel Gredley Howe. He was born in Boston 1801. Graduated from Brown University in 1821. Three years later he went to Greece and engaged him~ self as surgeon in the war of in— dependence. For two years he en— dured the difficulties and dangers of the conflict. Then he came back to America to plead the cause of the Greeks. Returned to Greece with a vessel filled with provision and clothes together with a large sum of money. Having contracted a serious swampfever he was obliged to leave Greece in 1830. \Vherever this noble man went he . performed some kind action. His heartfelt love for his fellowmen and especially the weak and op- pressed brought him to see the ne- cessity of a school for the blind. In order to acquaint himself with this particular work, he traveled thru Europe and made thoro in- vestigations. Returned to America again and established such schools. His energic work for the ideotic and weak-minded will also be long remembered. It was therefore not strange when Julia \Vard met Dr. Howe that she found in him a true friend, and that he, tho eighteen years her senior, should win her heart. They were married in 1843. Shortly after the wedding they made a trip thru Europe. In England they re— ceived much attention by such famous authors as Charles Dick- ens and other prominent men. Re- turning to Boston they purchased an estate near the “Institution for the Blind" of which Dr. Howe re- mained director to his death 1876. Here they lived a happy life and to this felicitous home arrived six children. She was very fond of them, and in memorial of her son who passed away at an early age, she has revealed that wonderful love that no man can explain. which a mother possesses for her child: “My dearest boy,. my sweetest!
