When we were llule tohml buys It
was a big thing to spall * Maker .”
\Tbeo we rosebud ‘ croelBg” wh Had
visions Of expansion and suspenders
sad whsn w» progressed to "unlutet

we thought there were no more worlds
to conquer. But there were for sway
on sear the Wet png' wns a o«lah>guo
of lawbreakers sucn n "pb-tb le-le,"

Wo Innocently supposed tbst tbe old
blue back spelling book oouUlned sll
tbe words In the world but Uy aud by
we round out that we were only hi the
rudiments. The llule dictionary aud
English Render and Murray's C> rammer
and Salley's Arithmetic were all she»d
of OS. Io course of llmu, bowsvvr we
learned to parse which It n L-uln w.rd
taken from "quo# pars orsttone"—
what part of speech. Tbeo we mss
tered tbe rule of three which la now
called proportion aud soon advanced lo
tare and tret which we whlapjrtd was
"eoougto 13 make lbs devil awuat."
About tbla time ws begun to wear
those all the >e«r ruoud sod to brueli
our hair and hoi) picked out .1 sweet
heart and held tier bend mi the slv
when we Stood up to recite aod some
times we used tbe louklogglsse to see
bow the downs; beard was coining.
When well npln our teens we were
promoted to tbe Imtltute and Inlru
dooed to Latin and Greek and Algebra
aud History. I remember tbe Orat
sentence In tbe old "RislniD Sacra,"
"Deal Cresvit eoclam rt terram loirs
sex dies”—God crested the heavsus
•ad tbe earth in six dsya. It wsa like
a coofeseloe of faith and made A more
lasting Impressing for wt bad to stud;
It oot and parse It. 1 remember our
history sad bow Thomps Allen, who
bad been poring over AlalbUries. Per
lolte, Thocyldee, Sophocles and Demos
thanes suddenly came on * sentMiea
beginning with tbe word •betidra."
aud ba called it “bea-i-dee" aud lUvrvby
got a nickuame that Muck to blm
through life.
Bat we old meu have loog since for
gotteo our Latin aod Greek except tbe
small words that make up much of our
modern English. Even a limited
knowledge or Latin aod Greek la a
greet advantage aod great comfort In
defining our laagusge. It la of In
estimable value to professional meu to
doctors aiM druggists botanists aud
horticulturists and those who cultivate
do wen. But nobody can readily
read Latin ur Greek nowadays
except tbs professors and teachers In
our schools. Mot loog ago I pond tied
over a Latin preface lu a very old book
sad bad to give It up. I turned It oyer
to Professor Daves and be rendered It
very beautlfnlly aod do doubt oorreetly
but hie good wife told me a secret that
he worked on It averj night till mid
nigfat for a whole week with bis coat
off aod tbe perspiration ooting from
his classic brow.
I »u rumlnstipg about these things
because I oame across tom* word* to

ooomlt tba big dictionary for a mean
lag- Of coarse we have to make o»w
words all tba time to keep op with In
ventions and eeleoee but tbaaa wards
are old aa John Oalvlo aud they seem
to have created a nighty dlaooaalon In
making up tbs Presbyterian ooofesaioo
of faltb at Westminster Abba? 350
years ago. I was perusing so edltorsi
In a New York paper In which it was
stated that ovvr forty pnebyterlans of
tba northern ehoroh were la favor of
Moendlog tba eoofaaaloo of faith and
going back to saperUpsnrtaoUm which
was tba doctrine of John Oalvlo. That
the Westminister ooofessiou was tub

waa a rwrtlaUon to ms and so 1 liars

A little good humur is a pandora for
tile frictions and Irritations of life.
If wlust the Apostle Peal says about
“love not easily provoked” la true, we
fear there are a great many Christian
people who are not largely endowed
with this grace. This la a moat pro
yoking world If we Judge It by tbe
frequency with wtileh people are pro
yoked. It is no doubt, in many oases,
a matter of nerves, but it might be
asked If tbe regenerating power of Ood
has not anythlug to do with a man’s
nervous system. We want a aanetl
d*d oar vs more than almost anything
else. It baa been said that ill tamper
le the vioe of the vlrtuone and a blut

haps we laul I>etler reconsider what a
virtuous character ta aod resolve that
Irritability and eensortouaness aud
Jealousy and pique shall be el saved
among sins to be repentad of and
