for eight days,

Students from all

sell spoke today.
He took for , his
text the words, 'IThe; Father of mer
cies, and tbe God of all comfort"
2 Corinthians 1:3. ? ;
The Pastor stated that when in In
dia. China and Japan last year he was
impressed with tbe indulgence of
ninny amongst those peoples. ' He vis
ited their temples to ascertain the sta
tus of the worshipers.' Many seemed
sincere, absolutely unmindful of any
thing except their own worship. He
made inquiry as to whether the Idol
was regarded as the god, or merely
as a reminder of tbelr god. He was
assured tliut tbe Idol was kuown to
be metal, stone, etc., and was used lu
muc-b the same way that Catholics use
the crut-ilix-tiot as worshiping the
ininge. uui merely to assist id uxiuk
reverence and tbe spirit of worship,

everyone wishes his neighbor knew."

locality are his apparatus
He sets high school students study
ing the plant and animal life about
the community, each one specializing
on some plant, tree, bird, or insect and
reporting to the rest of the class
throughout the whole year. Each one
grows hiswn plant or animal so far
as possible besides observing those
that grow wild. Complete laboratory
notes are kept, and the effect is con
stant to make a definite contribution ,
to the solution of some problem that is
vexing the community.
