This week a lady came into our
store and wanted a pound of good
coffee, saying the last she bought cut
45c per pound but was not at all sat
isfactory. I sold her a blend at 25c
our own preparation. She says now
that this is the best coffee she ever
used. We have cheaper coffee to be
sure, as low as 10c and have quite a
trade among the cheap buyers. I
never yet to suit the most
particular customer when thev were
willing to pay 25c for our own blend.
We can sell you now a good up-to
date Winter Patent Flour for SI.OO
per sack. Corn meal reached a low
figure with us the past week, sold at

past week for the low grade flour in
140 lb sacks at 25.00 per ton. Mar

There Is not a word more difficult to
define than the word "ownership." 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.

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

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.
