The others have never learned the great object of the school and consider it something that must be gone through, no matter much how. In the mean time, they keep the teacher aggra vated to, and sometimes beyond, the point of human endurance. This lack of reverence and obedi ence is of course, in roost cases, due to the teacher having stood for" almost anything from the student That boy or girl who persists in spending idle time in the schoolroom at the total disre gard of .all rules 'of proper con duct should either be "rnanaged" in the schoolroom by the best means possible, or promptly ex-1 pelied. lof EDMUND L.

( Success Magazine.) The human race is still in its in fancy. Up to the present mo ment, with a lew grand excep- tions, man has lived mostly an an- imal existence. The brute is only ment, with a few grand excep- partially educated out He has not yet evolved of him. that su- perb character, that diviner man, roresnaaowed in tne oeast.

T .1 tion as a disagreeable necessity ought to that somehow or other have been, and might have been avoided. , The trouble with many of us is that we think too meanly of our selves. Our sordid aims, and ma- terial, selfish ambitions, have so standards that we lowered our think downwards instead of up wards, we grovel instead of soar ing. Our lives are materialistic, sel fish, greedy, because we live in the At ft base or our brains, down among the brute faculties. We have never explored to any great extent the upper regions of our brain, never developed our higher intel- Hgence. Many people cannot understand why an all-powerful Creator did not 5tart the world with a highly developed civilization, why we could not just as well have been provided with all of the facilities and improvements which we now have, without the struggling with j poverty, and the straining to over- come our ignorance, without pay . ing all the penalties of our lack of knowledge. They cannot under stand why an all-loving and all powerful Creator could not have spared us all-this dreary drudgery, saved us the necessity of spending the most of our lives in doing dis agreeable work, in preparing to live. But getting a living was intend ed to be a mere incident, instead of the principle occupation of our lives. There are numberless in dications in our makeup that we were intended for a much finer, diviner purpose than the most of us appreciate. There is every in dication in our constitution that we were intended for something infinitely superior to anything which human beings have yet at tained. Our very possession of the sense of nobility, our aspiring, reaching up instinct, our unlimited capacity for everything beautiful, and grand, are indications that there was a superb purpose, a divine plan in the Creator's human design- " The Jumping Off Place.

LtSSON STORY. Jesus has retired to a- place be yond the Jordan and a messenger brings him the news of the serious illness of Lazarus, an intimate friend, and the brother of two wo men who have shown him kind ness. Altho he loves the farm 1 v. he delays and we are tausrht that there is a higher motive and two days later against the protest of his disciples he goes to Beth any. Lazarus has been dead four days and the body is buried. One of the sisters meets Jesus and in her greeting there is both re proach and faith. "Why didn't you come, Lord ? You could have kept him alive!" Still greater faith is shown in the words. "But I know, that even now. what.o. ever thou wilt ask of God. God will trive it thee!"

His is a stroner hand that holds thee and no man dare disobey his word; but the key of death's stronghold is at my girdle and I am his Lord.

'When Lazarus left the charnel-cave, And borne to Mary's house returned, Was this demanded-if he yearned To hear her weeping by his graver "Where wert thou, brother, those four days?" There lives no record of reply, Which telling what it is to die, , Hath surely added promise to praise. From every house the noighlwrs met. The streets were filled with joyful sound; A solemn gladness even crowned The purple brows of Olivet. Behold a man raised up by Christ! The rest remaineth unrevealed: He told it not; or something sealed The lips of that Evangelist. Tennyson. WORKER'S HINTS. "Brother Doitall came homo from Sunday school in a happy frame of mind.
