"Dclighlfui task to nvf tho lender thought. To tesej; tho young Un bow to ' »h'Ot.” Tho world Ucday boars evidence of th* great ax tent to which the powers of the luititn tniud have beonma awakened. There is no accounting for the puesihililicf in caaed in a human soul. Who would have thought that u “we* toddler"—tha child of a poor wether-woman and not al lowed to enter tho houses of tho riob, but sent to the kitcheu to oat and roup with the little dar key*, would ever become President of these United States? And through all tbe oat ego rise of life, other instances are vividly perceptible 6/ greatness being at tained from, the very base of tbe ladder on which thoueaud* have mounted to tho topmost pinnacle. IIow weighty then, the retpon sUtilitiet developing upon those entrusted with the care and guid ance ef youth, the xwrent* llr«t, the teaeScra next, and like th« preacher* of the gospel, who pro claim* tbe unsearchable riche* of a crucified and rite* Saviour to a fallen end porisbing world, it must be tho truth, the whole truth aixl nothing bnt the truth incul cated Into (lie youthful minde, for au erroneous impression is never wholly eradicated; |M*rniciuua in Hncnoee most be conicmmed and nangfat but a pare and noble dig nity encouraged and maintained.

Oue who. hat long been accus tomed to watch the alaority with which the meutal vision grasp* the axioma recorded in the text books, confesses else finds not on ly congeniality, hut aashnilataa | the situation to '‘voices around the Throne.” What music on earth can be compared totheriiig iug laughter of happy children et they anmee themselves upon the play-ground or raise their sweet voices in ebauting tho praise* of the living God?
