it necessary to leave town in a hurry.
The press and the pulpit go hand in
hand with whitewash brush and kind
words magnifying little virtues into big
ones. The pulpit, press and grave
stones are the great saint making tri
umvirate." And the great minister
went away, looking very thoughtful

the bride and surpassing goodness of
the deceased.

Loral Institute.
Proceedings of Local Institute held at
Summit Presbyterian church Dec. 9.
1899.
The meeting was called to order by
the chairman, James T. McCandlees,
aftVr which devotional exercises were
conducted by Rev. Snyder. Miss Eliz
al>eth Weisenstein was then chosen re
cording secretary.
The welcome address was given by
Carl Patterson, in such a manner as to
make all feeel truly welcome. Miss
Weisenstein responded in liehalf of all
present.
( A Hartung was the tirst speaker
on the program, lie handled the sub
ject, "Who are responsible for the edu
cation of the child.' in such a manner
as to do credit to himself. Prof Har
tung states the lack of in'erest taken
by the parents in our school work, and
that the home is the most important
factor in an education. His address
was instructive and eloquent through
out and was highly appreciated by all
John Pollock was the next speaker
and had for his subject. "The Aim of
Education.' Mr. Pollock's statements
were clear and well defined. He savs
we should teach the child to think,
hope, love, believe, and obey, and that
the child reared in luxury should be
educated along different lines, from ti?e
child reared in poverty.
Miss Turner gave an excellent class
drill in physiology, -which was both en
tertaining and instructive.
O. 11. (irabe gave an instructive talk
on penmanship. He advocates vertical
writing for beginners, and says it has
come to stay. Rev. Snyder gave an in
teresting and instructive talk on school
work.
James Galbreath. Esq . was present
at the evening session and held the at
tention of the large audience present,
for more than an hour with his eloquent
address on, "The relation of Educa
tion to oqt times"
He states how our Nation has made
more progress in the iast fifty years in
mechanical and industrial affairs, than
the world has made in fifty centuries
previous. The Nations of the world
are learning to govern themselves from
us, as we stand as a light to all Nations.
Our Nation is founded on libertA.
There is no education that touches all
points like christian civilization and
our progress is unreal unless it is touch
ed with Christianity. Mr. Galbreath
made ns to feel keenly the need of
moral training to make education com
plete.
L M. Daubenspeck gave an excellent
addnas <>u, "What does it take to make
a good school." His talk was practical,
and stated clearlv the need of good
material for a teacher to work on in
order to be successful.
Prof. H. I. Painter sjioke during the
evening, and gave a very pleasing and
instructive talk on school work.
lie tells us how we must move on
ward along educational lines, or all that
is good and grand in our Nation will
receive its death blow, ami how our
boys must be educated morally, social
ly, and intellectually to be educated
well. His speech throughout was full
of good, practical advice to teachers,
parents and pupils
The choir deserve great credit for the
selections they sang, and for the aid
given by them to make the institute a
success. Miss Ethel Wright acted as
organist and preformed her part well.
Recitations were given by several mem
bers of the school and by Mi« Lulu
Sefton, who recited in a very pleasing
manner. We feel grateful to the citi
zens of the district for the kind enter
tainment given the strangers who were
present.
The institute was in every respect a
success. The house was well filled dur
ing both sessions, the citizens especially
showing their interest by being present
in large numbers. SECRETARY.
Mistake Corrected!
■■ "•* % %
We had written un adver
tisement offering a dis
count of 10 per cent to
the school teachers and
directors on anything
they would buy next
week during institute,
but after writing it we
concluded it was not fair
to confine this to teach
ers and directors, as
every one cannot be
either, therefore, we in
clude everybody who
will buy anything from
us during the whole
week. (Kramer wagons
excepted.)
We have a very large
and excellent stock of
sleighs, robes,blankets & ,
everything pertaining to '
a driving or team outfit,
trunks and valises.
Our prices are always
low and with this 10 per
cent, reduction, will be
less than wholesale.
