TIHE above picture of the
man and fish is the trade
mark of Scott's Emulsion, '
and is the synonym for
strength and purity. It is sold
in almost all the civilized coun
tries of the globe.
If the cod fish became extinct
it would be a world-wide calam
ity, because the oil that comes
from its liver surpasses all other
fats in nourishing and life-giving
properties. Thirty years ago
the proprietors of Scott's Emul
sion found a way of preparing
cod liver oil so that everyone can
take it and get the full value of
the oil without the objectionable
taste. Scott's Emulsion is the
best thing in the world for weak,
backward children, thin, delicate
people, and all conditions of
wasting and lost strength.

Reports.
I have been very anxious to
get all the monthly reports in so
that I can find out what school
has the best report. I have at
last most of the reports for first
month ami will give in this col
umn next week some facts con
tained in them.
Let every teacher at once after
the close of the second month
send in report for that month. I
think all these reports ought to
be in now and yet I have not re
ceived more than half of them.
Let the reports come as soon as
the months close?1 mean your
school months.
I find that some teachers do
not seem to know how to find
the average attendance. It is
simple enough. Add together
the number of days all the boys
have attended and divide the
same by twenty. This will give
the average attendance of the
boys. Do likewise with the num
ber of days all the girls have at
tended. This is an easy problem.
One or two teachers failed to
find the average attendance for
male and female separately. This
is required by law and 1 hope
these teachers will attend to it
in future reports.
1 want to say that most of the
reports have been made very
nicely and neatly.
Schools Doing Well.
1 am happy to say that most
of the teachers are doing well
They are interested and are try
ing to do good, honest work. I
find in many schools children
reading nicdy in first readers
who knew nothing in books two
months ago. .Most of the teach
ers have their schools fairly well
graded, or classed. .Most of the
teachers now teach their first
reader pupils in classes. A few
hold to the old idea of calling
each pupil separately. As a rule
pupils who are taught in classes
learn much better thun those
who are taught one at a time.
1 think t)0 per cent, of the
teachers whose schools I have
visited are using the phonic
method of teaching children to
read.
Illiterates.
Some teachers are doing much
toward bringing the boys and
girls who can not read and write
into their schools. Several boys
and girls who are nearly grown
haye come into the schools for
the first time. Most of them
learn fast. Some of these have
read the first reader, the second
reader, and are reading the third
reader. What a blessing this is
to these boys and girls!
Teachers, see the illiterates of
your districts and try to get
them to go to school. Tell them
what others are doing. One
month in the schools may be the
making of these boys and girls.

CHRISTIAN DUTIES.
An Address to the Members ot the
M. E. Church In Princeton on
Sunday. December 3rd.
1905. by J. D. Flnlayson
My Hear brothers and Sisters:
We are called upon to-day to
talk with one another about our
Christian duties. Our first aud
most important duty is to become
a Christian?then we can more
easily point others the way. Let
us try by our works to show to
the world and the critics that we
are what we profess to be. Shun
evil companions, bad language
disdain, always ask .lesus toj
help us overcome all temptations
that may arise in our pathway
of life. Let us always seek Christ
and his kingdom. Let our daily
walks show to our fellow-man
that is the principal object wet
are in pursuit of
My good neighbors and friends,
don't ever miss a religious ser
vice. We should attend to all of
these and always take an active j
interest in the services. Most
especially, do I beg of you to at
tend the Sunday School aud
prayer meetings?they are the
very life and back-bone of our
churches. It is a duty you owe
to God and your country to at-1
tend them and aid in that work, i
Four-fifths of the members of the
church were brought there by its j
influence.
Let me beg you boys to sever
your connection with the Street
Corner Aunanias Club and come
to Sabbath School.
Let me ask you girls, if you
belong to the Snuff Dipping Tat
tling Society, to send in your
resignation at once and join the
Sunday School Army. Go to
work for the cause of Christ and
His glory.
A few days ago I was very
much impressed with a picture.
It represented a neat and pleas
ant room with an aged couple
sitting before the Are; the father
was reading the Bible, the moth
er was gaziug intently at a pic
ture of a young man on the
mantel and for some cause or
other I imagined I saw her lips
part and say, "1 wonder where
my boy is to-night." My good
Christian mothers, help us to
save our boys?go out and bid
them come and partake of the
good things of the Lord. It is
only in sentiment that a bird
with a broken pinion can never
soar so high again.
You may have been dashed on
the rocks of degradation. Christ
will heal all bruises. Though
your sins be as scarlet, He will
make them white as snow. My
good friends, don't wait to carry
flowers to the grave, but scatter
them along life's pathway. You
may never pass this way again.
Let us all form ourselves into
a committee to look after the
off-cast, the out-cast, the poor
and needy, and see if we can't
relieve their wants and help
them along life's rugged path
way. Let us scatter bright smiles
around us; it wdl cheer up the
young and old to look forward
to a better life.
I often look around and I miss
a great many faces, both young
and old, that have gone on to
heaven and are waiting for us.
Let us all strive to lead a life
that we will live on after we are
dead.
Toplady, who wrote that beau
tiful hymn, "Rock of Ages," still
lives. The good blind lady, Fan
ny J. Crosby, who to-day writes
such beautiful hymns, will live
after she is dead.
Sarah Elizabeth McKinne will
live in the hearts of the people
after she is dead. By her zeal
and untiring energy and devo
tion to God, this beautiful edifice
was built which will stand as a
monument to her memory.
Father Ryan, that true heart-1
ed Southerner, will live for ages,
because of that poem he wrote
on the lone Southern Soldier
Boy's Grave.
A grave in tin' woods with the grass
o'er grown,
A grave in the heart of a mother.
In the one it lies lifeless and lone,
But lives in the heart of the other.
In conclusion I can truthfully
say 1 haven't aught against any j
one on earth. I love everybody
from the highest to the lowest.
I have never accumulated much
in this world but "experience."
I never look for gratitude for I
only find that in the dictionary, j
I trust I have your sympathy in I
trying to make these few remarks.
Some fellow said that sym
pathy was a good thing in its
place but was a very poor sub
stitute for a square meal when
one was hungry. May we all live
better day by day doing all the
good we can an ' just as litt'?

"O.yee, this is the boy's room.
That bed was the one we came
near throwing away. What's
that? Yes, wheuever we have
any bed clothes that are worn
we let the boy have them, and
we'd put a cheap carpet on the
floor only he'd soon wear holes
in it with his heavy shoes, lie
doesn't seem to care much for a
room of his own, so we just put
that old cracked mirror over the
dry goods box, and then we cov
ered the box with some wall pa
per left over from last spring,
lie started to hang some pic
tures on the walls, but he had to
drive nails in the plaster to do it,
and we couldn't have the wall
marred like that. That's the
reason there are no pictures in
here. I've been thinking 1 would
have the glazer put in a new
glass but keep forgetting it
However, that piece of paper
pasted over the hole keeps out
the wind and rain almost as
good as glass.
"Where is he now? I don't
know. He left right after dinner.
1 cannot understand why he does |
not like to stay at home, for 1 j
am sure we try to make home
attractive and pleasant for him."
Head this over a few times,
you fathers and mothers, whose |
sons are disinclined to stay at,

idea. There seems to be one j
lurking around here somewhere, j
