Her Position Here and Its Influence In the Old World. ; There is no doubt that the most in- teresting thing to the European who lands on the northern shores of the pew world is the American woman-- that happy, victorious heroine of mod- ern femininismy who has discovered how to extract from the new condition of woman all the advantages with al- most pone of the incenveniences; that being who has kpown how to assume the masculinity in all that regards in- dependence and liberty of action and remain feminine in grace, charm and altruism; that American beauty, that American genius, whose wonders are seen and Yelt in all the American and European reviews, whose writers de- clare hef to be engaged almost en- tirely In severe study, in masculine work, sport and similar occupations. Europe, moreover, is right. The American woman Is vot only one of the most interesting phenomena of North America, but is also the phe- nomenon of the new world that might have the greatest and gravest effect on the old, shaking on thelr founda- tions the essential principles of our fe. male instruction and training, over throwing the society of the old conti- nent or continents, which rest to a greater extent than is realized on the antique functions of woman in the familly and in soclety.—~Gina Lombroso Ferrero in Putnam's Magazine. THE RACE FOR RICHES. Is Wealth That Cannot Be Enjoyed Worth the Price? The writer once inquired of a very successful man: “When do you ever get a moment's time for your own self-to be your- self and to think your own thoughts? Do you ever get a time lke that? The very successful man hesitated for a moment and then replied: “Why, yes, 1 get such a time while I am being shaved ino the morning.” Is success really worth ‘the price when it wust be pald for at such a rate? Of what use are mansions and country houses® and great estates If one has no time to visit them and en- joy their beauty? Why should one collect through agents the most ex- quisite works of art if he cannot find more than a casual half hour in which to view them? What are wife and children If you are always hastening about the world. far too preoccupied to give them any serious thought or to receive the pleasure which their company could afford you? And yet there Is one sole satisfac tion—1f It be a satisfaction. Millions of your fellow countrymen and coun trywomen will believe beyond all doubt that you are really happy and will envy you. —Munsey's Magazine. icebergs.

The first session was opened with an anthem by a select choir, with Prof. P. H. Meyer as musical director, De- votional services were then conducted by G. L. Goodhart, and prayer offered by Rev. B. A. Boyder. , Greetings to the body were extend- ed by Mr, Goodhart, after which the minutes of the previous convention were read. The first topic on the program was “ The Organized Bible Class Move- ment, '’ assigned to Rev, H. A. Book, who stated the movement was first recognized in 1905 st Toronto. He set forth various plans in detail, de- fined the purpose and good results of this feature of Bunday-school work, T. M. Gramley made remarks on the subject, stating that twelve hun- dred classes were organized last year ; a total of 6800.in the state and eleven in Centre county. Dr. W. H. Behuyler joined in the discussion, and thought the principle might be applied without organiza tion, the movement was not & success without access Lo & room separate from the main room. Judge Woods, at a state convention, said there were more men thao women in theee organized classes, and that the organization had much to do with briogiog the men out, Rev. B. A. Buyder also spoke on this subject. “The Teacher and His Duties,” was the sut ject developed by Miss Orpha Gramley. A teacher should be a faith- ful, loyal church member, thought Miss Gramley, for how can he lead others to Christ if he ls not himself a member of a church and a christian? He should know how to fit the lesson to his pupils, and employ tact. The teacher who stops short of the appli- cations of the teschings of Christ, will stop short of his highest serv ice, Mr. Goodhart thought that teaching by example most effectivee Dr. Behuyler was of the opinion that heart sod intellectual preparation were both necessary. Chairman Royer stated that children were good critics, least easily deceived, : This session was interspersed with musio—a solo by Rev. 8B. A. Boyder, anthem by the choir, duets and quartets, all well rendered. The evening service was opened with 8 praise service condocted by Miss Helen Bartholomew, and prayer was offered by Rev.
