Our xd)an&e$
Our exchange column was unavoidably
left out last week.
Tlie Parker pupleis running a very in
teresting: and instructive continued art
icle entitled "The Philippine Islands.
We gladly welcome The Oak to our ex
change desk. The Oak is published by
the b(u 'ents of the Vasalia (Cal.) High Sch
ool. It is gotten up in a neat and attractive,
manner and contains twenty pages of inter
esting maftr.
Of the 13 columns of reading matter in
the last issue of the W ashinglonian, about
ten columns were copied from exchanges;
nearly 'two columns of state and out-side
news and slightly over one column devot
ed to local n fws about the school.
The advertising columns of The Cue
speak well for its business management.
The Cue is ably managed ' in every res
pect. The Glee Club, of the Agricultural Col
lege at Pullman, has just returned from a
tour of the Sound." Fn speaking of the suc
cess of the trip The Evergreen says, in
part: "That the tour was a success is hard
ly a fair statement. It was more than a
success it was a brilliant triumph."
We are sorry to see a bright little journal
like The Native American so careless in its
press work.
They are making hay, already, at the
Phenix (Ariz ) School.
The Col'ege Barometer contains soma
interesting short stories in its last issue
The hrisrht, original manner in which this
journal is gotten up reflects much credit
upon its publishers. .
We thank the (Ean Claire) Kodak for
the good things they say about us in their
March issue. We consider the source
from which these kind words come and
f. el highly fl ittered.

Sermon by Archbishop
Christie.
"(Continued from last week.)
"Young as you are, you may compare.
Here is God giving the ten command
ments and here is His Devine Son telling
us we must keep them in order that we
may reach the eternal rest in Heaven, .
and who is it that contradicts this God?
Why, a man. And what is that man's in
telligence, compared to that of the living
God. Call that man up to explain to
you how my armjnovei. He cannot. Then
he will look up to-the living God and con
- tradict Him. He cannot explain to you
how thegrass grows, nor how the flowers
bloom. You see those leaves and flowers
a few short months ago they were earth
and they have been transubstantiated and
changed into these flowers and leaves and
blossoms. God has created them all, and
yet man, whom He created from nothing
will look at that. God and call him a liar.
Isn't it most rediculous. -
"A day will come, good children,
when we must stand before the God and
tell Him if we have kept His command
ments here upon this earth, before that
Jesus, as I told you, who came to bring
Heaven's blessings here. It is hard to
keep the Commandments, unless we re
ceive grace from Christ, the Savior. We
must have strength. If you did not re
ceive here in your school, the food and
clothing necessary, those dear bodies of
yours would soon wither and waste away,
