We have received but a single copy of some College Papers. We would be glad to have them visit us regularly. The "Cresset" has again reached our ex- change table. It contains some good and in- structive articles. among others biographies of John Huss and George Washington. The music column has some good _points to piano students. If they be followed there would be better music. "The Messenger" is as charming as ever. We agree when it says: "that the exchange The Messenger however has succeeded well along this line. columns in most papers is the poorest". It contains a good article on "The Benefit of VVork". which we heartily endorse. "Perseverance" also is a well written article. Here is an extract: “If there is one quality which is essential to success that quality is perseverance. A man may have ambition. he may have talent. he may even have a high and noble aim in life and still. without perse- verance. these qualities will not suffice to bring him to any high degree of eminence. He may start out in life with a great deal of vim and make good progress for a time but when the work begins to wear on him and he meets with difficulties. as very soon he will. Then it is that a perseverng man will work his way he loses his courage and ambition. ahead while the man lacking this. falls be- hind." The Creator has laid down in every human being possibilities. many of which are never utilized. It is in order to realize the possibilities of his own being, that man engages in the ceaseless struggles of lifé,‘ but many of these possibilities lie in peaceful slumber. until they are aroused into activity. This awakening and calling into activity ofour natural powers. is the work of AUGSBURG ECHO education. Education can not create possi- bilities, but it can awake such as are slumber- ing within us. And only when we are fully conscious of the possibilities which are eni— bodied in our soul. and they swell our bosom with yearning and desire for action. can we realize them in deeds and make them of actual benefit to ourselves and the world; only then can we use our gifts as the Creator intended that they should be used."¥Seminary. How shall we keep our young people in the Church? One answer to that might _ be: Get them some work to do for the Church, and instruct them in the doing of it as soon as possible. What they work for they are apt to love and what they love they are not apt to forsake. A work ac— complished, however humble, is a real treasure, and often much dearer to us than gold. The sphere in which that work is done becomes the treasure house of our achievements; and “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”.—Seminary. In every soul there is a capacity for har— mony. So every one has within him, either dormant or active, that attribute by which he is made susceptible to the feelings of others, and—according to some mysterious power—by an exchange of sympathies, it tends to soften the harsh pangs of sorrow, and to brighten the beauty of a soul made radiant by happiness. Although in every soul there is a capacity for harmony, it is useless, unless some agent is brought to bear which will call forth those sympho- nies of which it is capable. And the Crea- tor has not left us wanting in this regard. for he has given to his creatures the gift of song.—Otterbein Agis. “Say, 'vV., night F” “I don‘t know.” “Was it not out all night?” when was church out last Show less
