The vacancy was caus ed by the resignation of \V. C. Taylor who was elected last year. A jolly sleighing party compos ed of young people of this place en joyed a ride to Eagles Mere last Friday evening. A dance at Ho tel Eagles Mere furnished pleasure for the crowd.

W» own a thing only up to that point where It appears that some one else owns It more than we do —that Is to say, has a larger claim upon It than we have. * * • About human owner ship there is something very indeter minate, something slightly visionary. It denotes something relative, not something absolute. • • • God owns, and owns absolutely; no one els* does. All ownership but God's owner ship Is an attempt to translate a divine prerogative onto human ground and to work it simply so far as It is work able. Any human ownership Is eter nally Invalid if maintained in disregard of the authority, law and holy will of him who owns absolutely.—Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, Presbyterian, New York. Spirit of tkt Guf«t, The New Testament in its presenta tion of the teaching of Christ is char acterized by nothing so clearly and ab solutely as those Qualities which we In our day call the scientific spirit Tolerance, readiness to give full value to actual truth, steadiness to the veri fiable and the real, adaptation to in creasing knowledge and, most of all, completeness of understanding of man everywhere are the visible elements of the method' of Jesus Christ. There la today no saner or more scientific or human interpretation of life and con duct than that of Jesus, and yet It la centuries old. There is no finer insight into the moods of the heart than that Which flows from the mind of Christ, and yet it was old before psychology was dreamed of. There is no theory of social life that Is more inclusive or just than that of Jesus, and yet it was formulated before there was In any proper sense a social consciousness. The spirit of Christ's teaching Is In the fullest sense the scientific spirit But In contrast with much that Is called the scientific attitude, It keepa to its serene interpretation of those basal elements of human life and char acter which are not subject to varia tion, but are always expressive of the life problems of the world.—Rev. Dr. A. A. Berle, Congregationalism Chica go. A CoatlHil Warfmra. The conflict of the world spirit and God Is analogous to the continual war' fare waged between the flesh and the spirit in the person of every member of the human race.—Rev. F. W. Norris, Episcopalian, Brooklyn. ... Teachers' County Institute. Continued Irom last issue. After singing appropriate to the ushering in of the New Year, Dr. McNeal devoted the next period to "School Management" Miss Rog ers by answering seve ra questions asked by persons wishing fuller information on part sof the previous talks. The latter part of her time' Miss Rogers devoted to the nursery stock business. After a short intermiasion and singing, Dr. Qoddard continued on "The Ideals cf Children." This subject he illustrated by showing an swers to questions asked school girls of New Jersey, Chester and Sullivan counties, JPa.'. Sullivan county girls did not give women as ideals as of ten as the others did. This was Directors session and a small number of these officials were present. After the singing exercise Miss Rogers answered some questions re garding pruning, ploughing or chards and trimming the lower branches on tress. After singing came Dr. Goddard with a "Prophecy to School' Direc tors." This he began by showing some reasons why children do not like to attend £ school. After this pointing out possible faults in the schools. Dr. Goddard was accorded very hearty applause for his, views on these subjects. then delivered an ad dress to the directtors. The main topics discussed were: the position of School Directors in regard) to the public sentiment; the fact that schools were not keeping their place in the advancement of the age, and some reasons for this; and the rela tion between director and teacher in the matter of wages and schools. Supt. Black then called upon Ex- Supt. F. W. Meylert. A round of applause greeted the mention of the name, and he responded by a few words of encouragement to his form er co- workers. Supt. Black then addressed the di rectors in regard to the need of a more adequate organization. Dr. Goddard closed this session by an exhibition of hypnotism. On Thursday evening H. H. Em met, the Indian orator held the at tention of a crowded house for two hours by his power of eloquence. Friday morning was taken up by short "addresses by Drs. Goddard and McNeal, after which the audi tors report was read by Walter Lor ah. Supt, Black made some an nouncements for the Summer Nor mal School; and extended his thanks to the teachers, after which institute adjourned. The attendance compared favor ably with proceeding years and with other counties, there being 99 out of 103 enrolled. NORDMONT. > Mr. Wm.
