As speaker Thomas B Heed has vir tually' eontiolled the actions ot tho house, bending It to his strong will whenever he liked.

"No school or kindergarten," that excel lent paper ajs, "can take the place of a good home. The best there Is of In stiuctlun, of association, of lnlluenco and Instill utiou for a child Is to be found in the ideal home Jinny American children are reared In such an enxiionment. Thej- are sent to the kindergartens and schools, not to get them out of the way of their patents or to put them under better inlluentes than thej- have nt home, but for sup plementary Instruction nnd ttalning. Unfoitunately all homes are not of this Ideal character. In our large cit ies theie ate thousands of little chil dren whose only opportunities for ac quit Ing knowledge and good manners will be found in the klndeigartens nnd primal y dopattments of the public school system. If the ntmospheie nt those Institutions Is tainted with ul garlsm and ill-breeding, then their only chance ot becoming pure-minded, clean thinking, good-mannered men and women will be lost to them. "In Chlengo, kludergaitens were Hist established in pints of the city where many small chlldien, owing to tho oc cupations or character and habits of their parents, knew nothing of good home influence and training.

In n recent ieprrt of the Chicago board of education thu following regarding tho cifoets of kln detgaiten Influence upon the children of these neighborhoods appears.

Hditor of The Tilbune. Sit. Last week In sending jou a communication on Lincoln as a writer of good sttong Anglo-Saxon us com paied with Shakespeaie and the Bible, I referred to the Instroductlon of St. John's gospel as a sublime ode on the beginning of things In heaven and In eaith. Hut what is meant by such a statement? For to the ordinary read er the introduction of St John's: gos pel does not appear to bo such nn ode nt all It Is only a piece of pi use of the same lorm and chaiacter as the rest of the gospel. Hut this is not nt all the case. K looks like ordlnarj piose because It Is so printed. Under lying it, however, Is the verj- same He btew parallelism which maiks Hebrew poetiy wherever It Is found This does not mean it has those ordinary charac teristics of Dngllsh poetrj- rhyme and metre which we are accustomed to think of as the essentials of our poetlo forms. It simply means It has the highest characteristics of all world poetry, subllmltj' of thought, n rhjthm ic How of language and a power of diction expressed under the tustomaty form of tho poetiy of the people to which the writer belonged, that Is, tho Hebtew. o Further than this. It is a fact well known to all dose students of the Bible that St. John's introduction is nn exact counteipart of the introduc tion to the first book of the Bible, called Genesis. It is very little known, however, that the latter, also, is an ode, and can easily be ananged In tho same waj', according to the same poet ic ptlnclplcs. I will now give you St. John's introduction, arranged as sug gested. Later on I will send jou the introduction to the book of Genesis, that Is, Genesis, 1, 1-2-3, at tanged ac eoiding to the same principles, o Introduction to tho Gospel of St. John. John 1 MS In tho beu'lniiiiig was tho Word -Tho Word was with God. Tho Word was joil, The same was In the beginning with God. No man hnlli seen Ood nt ntiv time. The Only Begotten Son Who Is in the bosom of the Father, He hath mudo lllm ktnnn By this nrrnngement, we find the In troduction of St. John's Gospel natur ally divides Itself Into three sections. The first, which is the inti eduction to the lutioductlon, consists of three stations. The other two sections con sist of four Rtnnzns each Tho llrst section consists ot a strophe nnd nn tlsltophe septtated by an Intermediate stanza This Ij annlngoits to the method of the gteat master noets ot ancient Giecce. In the recond section we find a strophe and nntlstropho of seven lines each followed by a strophe and nntlstrophe of four lines each. In tho thhd section we find four stnnzas of four lines each following like those of the second section In the simplest strophlc arrangement of the ancient Greek masters, that Is, strophe, nnti ttophe, strophe, nntlstrophe. o This patallollsm of stanzas has been cnlled the higher Hebrew pnrulleltsm. The parallelism of lines, which has re cently boon called the lower parallel ism. Is alo mnrked throughout this In troduction. Take the second section, for Instance. "There was a man sent from God," has Its parallel in the fol lowing line, "His name was John" It Is the same with tho last two liner of that stnnzn, and the Hist two and tho last two lines of the following stanza. Then take the second two stnn7as of the second section. Here the lower parallelism Is not that of line follow ing line, such as that Just referred to, but of the fli st nnd fourth lines, the second and the third Then there Is another nntuial feature of such a lie brew poetic arrangement The lines that stand out to the 1 ft can be read without reading those set In to the right. So with the lemalnlng lines. In other words, those lines set out to the left nre pat allot to each other, those to the right nie parallel to each other. o Wo might futther enlarge on this Impoitnnt subject. Wo might show how the undei standing of tho rules of Hebievv parallelism assists one eiy materially, not onlj- to the conect un derstanding of tho meaning of the great Hebrew poets, but also to the meaning of the prophets Tor the pro phets, too, nre poets, and exptessi their thnuchls In the ery same kind of Hebrew poetlo fonns. Wo might go still further. We might show how vitally necessary it Is to the cotrect Interpretation of Sctlpture as a whole to he nblo to recognize the dlfteient llt- eiaiy chaiacter or its various parts (for it is continually changing in the stylo and manner of Its speech), nnd to apply with well dhected discrimina tion to the Intel pi etatlon of them, those particular rules ot literary crit icism which naturally apply to them Tor wo must of necessity go very far asttay In our attempt to get at the whole truth of God In Christ our Lord, if wc do not lecognize poetry as pootij. wherever wo come across It In the Book of books, but attempt to Inter pret It solely by the laws laid down In the ordinary rules of ptose. r.
