EDUCATION • Is . ® The First Step to Being Somebody' Doing Something. Heipfhb Someone Gett mg Somewhere THE STORMv I By Walter Raleigh Lovell. • For. two nights before we had hardly slept at all. We were ..tired, com pletely worn out. Thus when we lleii asleep in a freshly lined berth - dt the midnight trai,p. from Saint I<ottis to Kansas City we did awake "until six o'clock the next -morning. Even as I'stirred for the first time, the, absence of the sunshine told me that it was cloudy, for at six In June the sun is high. But when*! had gone to the wash room for my morning shave^and toi'et, I saw the sky' was hideously’ 'darkened with oloud and almost immediately we were in a blinding storm. Fierce lightening Streaked' across the angry sky, while deafening thunder somewhat muffled by the roar' of the train muttered and groaned as the rain came down in torrents. * . ■. *-:--- I --— , AAEON BROWN, Esq. - President of V. C. E. Union. I thought of the engineer, and said tp. a fellow passenger: “He certainly . is running by faith now, > rather than eight,’’ * for . it is impossible to see . more than- a few feet aWay. As I went to the dining car for breakfast, for I was hungry, I could . sea more clearly through* the larger , windows, and the fierceness of the Btorm almost frightened me- But the .train, .with its ‘‘brave engineer,” * never slacked its >speed; on and on Jt raced through the beating raiif - which poured forth- in sheets from the darkened heavens. Ere long, however, because the train sped on in its course, we were soon able to see farther. The lightning and 'thunder became less frequent and finally ceased. The rain came down no more, all was quiet; and thW the sun shone «—it 'was all past, the storm was •. ipyen. •- . ' \ __;■ fng of life. Confusion, doubts, Igno rance, temptations, all combine to jnake the storm for youth as it en ters upon the' stage of life. And, I thought again, one cannot successfully ■weather the storm alone. There, must be id each life a Brave Engineer, one who “knoweth the way that.I take,” One, “who knoweth the dan gers at hand”; One Who can leadens aright even when , dark c’.ouds shut Out the view of the sun jfp, young people, we.cannot hope to cope with the dangerous stofins i ofrltfKK.which lurk about us, and often j break upon u& yea, .in th$ early years of opr life, in the thoughtless and often care free days, unless we, build bur hopes On Christ . • But this i» our assurance and con fidence: if Christ be our Guide, if lie —• i the storms cannot harm, and we shat: go on our way rejoicing, learning fine. , lessons from the, storms through which we have passed Oakland, Cal. “HERE AND THERE.” By Rev, W. A. Deane. Bishop J. S. Ca'dwell is a born leader, and is successful because he is frank and plain and kind to bis ministers and workers. Y The people in the south are cer tainly more independent than those in the north and consequent y they are more hospitable: The ladies of the W. H. and F. M. Society, of Charlotte, N.

The , period pf early childhood, middle childhood, latter childhood, the pe | riod of early adolescence, latter ado . escence, young manhood and adult period. , I presume he felt the thrill of these periods as iie. passed through them. Although a serious minded child, he had his moments and hours of play with his youthful associates. And at the period of early ado’escence, he felt the call and pull of the work, and had hie own boyhood desire for free dom. 7. Topical Outlines. I. The normal life of Jesus, v. 40. II.

A. The Normal Life of J©sus. . Jesus cams into the realm of hu man nature, so then he developed according to the laws of nature. His spiritual nature must be limited to thf, growth of his physical nature, and alSo In keeping with these, the mental nature must also unfold. The rhi'd grew and waxed strong in spir it, filled with wisdom: and the grace t of God was upon him. B. Jesus a Child of the Law. At the! age of twelve a boy became ihe son of tjhe law. He then assumed the responsibility of a man toward the law. At this, time he goes again up inti) Jerusalem. And at this time fully conscious of his relation to the j law. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to ' Jerusalem. They returned, the phi Id Jesus tar ried on behind. When the eight days, fcoven days of unleaven bread and one day of the passover had passed so at the end of a stay of eight days, the parents returned. There was much which attracted the attention of Jesus, which found no attraction for his parents; and so great wag the attraction that he remained behind in Jerusalem, the city of his fathers. went a day's j°umey. The par ents start home on the return trip, and go a whol^ day's journey without missing Jesus and' perhaps the confi dence‘in Jesus, of the care of their friends1 over him, /threw them, off of their guard. Turned back to Jerusa lem.- ‘‘Now awakened to their loss, they at last retrace their steps with saddened hearts. C. Lost in the Crowd. But J-esus was in the crowd, and yet.lost to the crowd. After three days. Now the~ parents find Jesus j spd fln4 him in splendid company, engaged in a glorious task. Were Astonished at his understanding Why hast thou dealt thus with usT Tfee parents Wjere surprised, and ad ministered a mf d »rebuke unto the Sjon.
