Educated Man

ROM time immemorial a man who has been to school has been, called educated, and one who has been to college has been thought to be highly educated. Education has been supposed to begin when school life began audio end with school or college graduation. After that a new existence began, called “life.” According to the modem idea, education is life., of which the school work is but a part. It begins with life; it is never finished. It is a gradual change wrought in the mind by the

F'

of the mind itself and can never cease. The world of things and of people is the chief means of education. The flowers, the birds, the changing of the seasons, the experiences of life and the people we meet set at work the powers of thought and feeling and will, and by this work a man is educated. The necessities of life by stimulating to thought and exertion educate. Because a man must have food and clothes and shelter he must think and plan and work. Hand and eye and brain are trained together. Therefore the skilled artisan is an educated man. The unknown in nature stimulates some men. To uncover nature’s secrets requires keen and patient observation and a genius for hard work. Hence, discoverers and inventors are educated men. But the most important part of education comes from intercourse with people. From this side comes the education in love and duty and service. . " • : x The actions of people stimulate imitation and emulation. By these men grow in power and skill. From observat ion of the character of people men form ideals of character for themselves and are transformed thereby. Herein lies the consummate educative power in Christianity—the transforming power of the Divine Man.

Children should be well dressed early and not have their little limbs bare to their knees till winter. These and other hygienic measures followed, there would probably l>e far less epidemics, less anxiety and alarm, and very much less “stamping out of disease and a very great financial relief to communities.

History Repeats Itself In Chinese Uprising

Old Testament. It reads as follows: “Then said they unto him, say now shibboleth and he said sibboleth, for lie could not franio to pronounce it right. Then they took him,and slew him at the passages of Jordan; and there fell at that time forty and two thousand.” It seems peculiar that this ghastly act of hundreds of years ago should be repeated in the twentieth century. _ ,

According 'to this new idea s education is not merely receiving but giving; not learning alone but doing. The educated man is open-eyed and openminded, quick to respond to influences from without, learning from all his experiences and growing in power as he grows in knowledge. Education is an individual matter. No two men can be educated alike in manner or degree. They respond to different influences and grow in - different, ways. One becomes educated by •way of schools and colleges and life, another by life alone. The measure of a man’s education is the measure of his use in the' world.

Diphtheria and other contagious and almost all infectious diseases are caused from fermenting of the stomach, which extends to the bowels. These epidemics result from a change in the atmosphere, which results in a partial closing of the seven million pores of the body. It is estimated that there are 3 1 /> ounces of effete and worn-out matter and gases from the body of an adult each day, and from children iy proportion. *V hen the skin contracts by chilly winds these poisonous impurities are returned and

I wonder if the or woman often considers the absence or moral convictions of today? - Our whole political, social and everyday life is becoming so corrupt and immoral that it is disgusting. The divorce evil has become so great that some of our most prominent educators and statesmen are trying to find a solution for the problem, for problem it is, and thus preserve the American home. There is ordy one remedy, and that is to begin at the- root;

Ap account of the manner in which the Manchus were massacred at Hankow, China, greatly impressed me. To make sure of the identity of their victims the Chinese rebels hit upon the difference in the Chinese and Manchu pronunciation and compelled the victim to count, and when he pronounced the numeral 6 in the Manchu manner death descended upon him. Thus was the word “Liushiliu,” the Chinese for “six,” made to serve as judge and executioner. This event recalls to my mind part of chapter 12 of the books of Judges in the

Begins With Life and is Never Finished

THE SAVIOR'S TEACHINGS BROOKLYN TABERNACLE

DRIVEN INTO THE WILDERNESS. Mark 1,0-11; Matthew iv, 1-11 — Feb. 25. “For in mat He Himself hath suffered, being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted."—HebrewsAi, 18. OUR, STUDY for today is a most interesting one. It points to the time when Jesus reached the age of thirty and was permitted to offer HiLvself without spot to God as the world’s Sin-offering. There the Redeemer became the antitypical Passover Lamb, the antitypical bullock of the Atonement Day Sinoffering. There He gave up His life to the doing of the Father’s will; there He as the Man Jesus died: there He as the antitypical bullock was slain; tjiere He was begotten of the Holy Spirit and became the antitypical Priest—the Saerificer. Through the following three and a half years of His ministry He carried out this conse-

cration and completed it at' Calvary, crying, “It is finished!” When Jesus received the begetting Qf the Holy Spirit at His baptism it was the begetting to the divine nature, and with it ca m e great enlightenment to His mind,

as represented in the words, “And the heavens were opened unto Him.” Forthwith He could see clearly into the Divine purposes respecting Him-1 self in a manner not possible to Him prior to Ilis consecration. At Once the Master realized the full import of the Day of Atonement sacrifices, of the Passover lamb slain, of the prophecies that spoke of Himself as being led as a lamb to the slaughter, and of His being the antitype of the brazen serpent, lifted on high for the healing of Adam’s sin-bitten race. Led of the Spirit—lnto Temptation. As these thoughts began to rush into the Savior’s mind, He was first of all pressed of the spirit (His own spirit) to go apart for nwhile and to study out the full import of the Law and the Prophets and Ilis own obligations according to the Covenant He had just made. For forty days and nights Ills intense earnestness made Him oblivious to almost everything else. Apparently He neither ate nor slept until the forty days were ended; and He “afterward hungered.” Then it was that the Adversary appeared as a tempter—at the moment of His physical weakness as the result of fasting—when His soul was overwhelmed with the realization of the importance of the great contract He had made and of what it would cost Him to fulfil its terms. It was the severest test imaginable. Would the Redeemer prove loyal to God—to the Divine Program—to His covenant of consecration, unto deaths Or would He feel that the Father had poured too bitter a cup for Him—that God had made the tests of loyalty and obedience too severe—that it was neither just nor loving to allow Him to ’ enter Into such a contract? How glad we are to note the loyalty which triumphed over every temptation! With the angels we acclaim, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!” To Him be glory, honor, domiuion and might everlasting! Tempted as We Are. The Savior was not tempted with the habits of a drunkard nor the weaknesses of a debauchee or a libertine, neither are those the temptations which come to us—His footstep followers. We are to remember that the Scriptures clearly differentiate between us and the world: “Ye are not of the world even as I am not of the world.” “Tempted like as we are,” therefore signifies that the temptations or trials which Jehovah permits to come upon His consecrated people are of the same kind that He permitted to come upon our Redeemer. It is important, therefore, that we

loyalty to tbe principles of righteousness, to the Truth, to the Divine methods—a refusal to take our own way or to seek our Own glory at the expense of Truth or of the Divine method. Our Lord was indignant that it should he thought for a moment that, having left the heavenly glory to do the Father’s pull. He should now prove traitor to His covenant, and for fear of the cross and the shame and the death He should enter into a confederacy with the great Arch-enemy of righteousness—Satan. He answered, "Get thee hence, Satan, for it is written: ‘Thou ‘shall worship the Lord, thv God, and Him only shalt thou serve.’ I will not serve you nor co-operate with' you in any sense of the word." “Then the Devil leaveth Him," \Y* nre to resist tfce_ Adversary courageously that he may leave us permanently, seeing 1 no hope of winning us.

notice the character of out* tests. God is not testing us to see whether or not our flesh is perfect, for He knew alt along that amongst men th e r-e is none righteous, no, not one; The Father's tests for those whom He receives as sons are tests of loyalty to Him,

Bath Room Shower.

A bride who is going to housekeeping immediately after her marriage will be fascinated with a “hath room shower.” There are numberless attractive fittings to be had, and most of. them are so small that they are easily adaptable to a “shower.” The rubber spray must play a conspicuous part in the collection. Then there may be a soap dish, tooth brush holder, sponge rack, glass towel rods and shelves, bath mats, towels, wash cloths, sponges, rubber brushes, a hotwater bag with an embroidered linen cover, and last, but not least, a collection of glass stoppered bottles with gold labels. Ah assortment of toilet waters, bath salts, etc., may be added. —Harper’s Bazar.

French Mirrors.

Long, narrbw mirrors in French antique gilt frames are exceedingly popular for hdliday and wedding gifts, and are shown just now in a variety of pleasing designs. Those with an old French print at thd top are the most popular.

Prayer and Politics.

David H. Lane, the Republican leader of Philadelphia, was telling stories at a Republican banquet. “And it’s always a mistake,” said Mr. Lane, “to mix politics and religion —politics and prayer. “There was a preacher out Cinnaminson way who mixed politics and prayer to his cost. He prayed on the eve of a general election. “ ‘Grant, O Lord, that the great reform party may ail hang together.’ “‘Amen!’ cried a scoffer. “ ‘Not, O Lord,’ resumed the preacher, ‘in the sense in which that profane scoffer would have it understood; but let the party hang together in accord and concord.’ ■■ “ ‘lt’s all one to me,’ the scoffer again interrupted, ‘what cord it is, so long as it’s a good, strong one.’”

Guineas In Winter.

The guinea fowl is a native of warm countries and has a natural fear of snow, so in the north when guineas are caught out In a snowstorm there is a good chance for trouble if we undertake to force them to walk through snow to the poultry house. The guineas will take to flight rather than wade in snow and rather than light on the ground when covered with snow they will light In trees, or If there are no trees they will light on the tops of buildings. It saves trouble to house the guineas as soon as it is apparent that snow will cover the ground and keep them housed until the storm Is past.

Dressing a Duckling.

The manager of one of the largest duck farms claims that an expert can scald and dress a duckling in ten minutes.

WHAT HAVE YOU TO SAY ABOUT THIS?

To the People of Jasper County: “THIS TELEPOST MUST BE CRUSHED OUT, REGARDLESS OP THE COST.” In these words a prominent Wall Street financier announced tha) the “Interests” had declared war on us and on you.’ Why he wished to crush it, —the many attempts to ruin it,—why they failed,—the great benefits of the Telepost to you and to the entire country,—and how, with your co-operation, it can never be crushed,— prompt me to address you. It concerns you. It is your fight as well as ours. The Telepost is an independent telegraph company owning a system of automatic machine telegraphy,r'eccgr.iied as the highest development to date in its field. It is in active commercial operation between Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Lamaviile and other cities of the Middle West, with the lowest rates and best service ever given -in the United States. Its purpose is to extend these advantages to all parts, of the country. It gives a flat rate, regardless of distance, of one-quar-ter cent to one cent a word, according to service furnished. It sends r.ooo words a minute on one wire and Blows telephone conversation over it at the some time. By all other methods it requires trorn seventeen to ixty“ wires to do what the Teiepvmt does on one. For over thirty-five years* thcic has been no real competition in telegraphy. The Interests behind this utility control it more completely than the Steel, Eeef, Tobacco and Oil Trusts control their respective lines and products. By means of “Gentlemen's Agreements,” admitted under oath to the New York Legislature, they have stifled competition, extorting, according to former Postmaster-General John Wsnamaker, 100,000,000 from the people in exorbitant charges for an indifferent service. The purpose of these “Agreements” is to maintain present high charges, and to block the introduction of any better system others. The methods employed to destroy the Telcpost have been notoriously unfair, and un-American:—Spies dog-, ging the footsteps of visitors to our offices; men of prominence, associated with us, threatened; employees bribed to betray us; timid shareholders stampeded into sacrificing their shares; our wires mysteriously cut, and our customers urged to leave us. Pc-iodidals, and other publications, in alliance with the money powers behind the telegraph interests, have* maliciously attacked us in order to discourage popular support for our enterprise, in much the same manner as they did Alexander Graham Bell when Lie introduced the telephone. With the low rates of the Telepost, the wireswviU be used almost as freely as the mails. We plan to build a line from our terminal in Chicago to New York, having, secured entrances into both cities and practically alf of the right-of-way. This line will pass near your town, with which we shall ultimately connect it. The New York-Chicago line will put the Telepost on such a solid and big dividend-paying basis that extensions to all parts of the country will rapidly follow. The opposition has declared that it will make it impossible for us to build this extension by PREVENTING OUR GETTING THE MONEY NEEDED. In this they do not reckon on your having anything to say, and seemingly forget that the original telegraph lines were built,—not by " Wall Street, —but, with profit to themselves, by the merchants, farmers pnd small investors of the country who were independent of capitalistic *

control or influence. We propose to build the Telepost lines in, the same way. However determined the “Interests” may be to s'cp us we want you to help us show that in spite of Wall Street opposition there is enough muniiood and civic pride in this country to insure the completion of a monumental work of this kind without either the help or sanction of any moneyed combination, however powerful. There is more telegraph business between these two cities than between any other two cities in the world. Our lower rates and better service will give us the bulk of this p:offtable business. The old line companies estimate the average cost to them per message to be' aoout tnirty cents. On the same volume of business the cost to the Telepost would be only eleven cents over sixty per cent. less. Thus with the people behind us our position in this fight is impregnable. • profits will be unusually substantial and increasingly large from year to year. Every si,ooo invested by the original shareholders in Western Union m i3eß received up to 1890 cash and stock dividends amounting to 5150 000. Ongmal investors in telephone shares fared even better.
