A. despateb from Chicago says:—
Ewe, Prank De WILL Talmage peoach-
ed fi•ohe the following text; Mallow
ee, et], eLeern of Me,"
The school-houee is the great re-
servoir hi which are collected the
streams of knowledge which have
ilowed down from the ages. It is
the place where scholars can climb
'epee the broad shoulders of the in-
tellectual giants of the past and the
Present and See as far as they have
seen, bemuse those shoulders aro
hfting those students' beads toward
the stars. It in the place in which
Mall IS taugbt how to harness the
winds and lasso the electricity and
tap the oil wells and contribute to
the common wealth and development
of his brother man, so that all
worldeg together may cause the "des
sert to blossom as the rose."
We Would eulogize that compound
word of eleven letters called the
"schoolehouse." But, after all, the
"school -house" is merely a represen-
tative term. Its true value is not
in the intrinsic worth of tho bricks
and stones and wood which compose
its buildings; it is in the epiritual
and intellectual worth of the men
and the women who stand behind its
teachers' desks. Students from far
and near came to sit at the feet of
Hillel and his fanious grandson
Gamaliel, although for the most part
those teachers bad no buildings of
any worth. Plato was the disciple
of Soerates and the teacher of Aris-
totle, who is the founder of the aca-
demic school famous the world
round, yet for the most part these
Men had the street corners Inc their
classrooms and the hillsides for
their laboratories. They were poor
in poeket, though rich in brains.
The Divine Teacher is our theme,
If we have not yet learned the value
of Jesus Christ INS an instructor,
then let ne learn it now in the com-
mand of my text. Jesus In these
three words recorded in Matthew em-
phasizes the great fact that from
Min, and him alone, we can learn
the great gospel lessons we ought to
learn. Thus to -day I would grasp
the ropes of the village school -house
and the city church bells as the col-
lege sexton holde his hell rope, and
as 1 pull and the church bells swing
backward and forward and the silver
notes of these bells go echoing down
the valleys e»til they plunge up
against the sounding boards of the
liliel would cry as a gospel minis-
ter; "Como to school( Come to
school! All ye who would learn of
Jesus, come to school, come to
school!" Is not this the meaning
of my text, "Learn of me?"
THE CIOSPEe, CLASSROOM.
'rho gospel classroom, in the first
place, has in Christ an authoritative
teacher. I invite you with confi-
dence to sit at his feet because he
has a right to teach. He speaks
31 01 only because as a human being
he has learned what we ought to
learn, but he Conies clothed with di-
vine authority. His credentials axe
higher than those of any human
teacteir, They proceed from God
himself. He is the Son and the co-
equal of God the Father, He comes
to us a conqueroe clothed in white
vesture, "and on his thigh a name
written, King of kings and Lord ef
lords." "For ha taught them as
one having authority and not as the
scribes," •
In this ago of intellectual progress
it Is absolutely essential Inc every
true teacher, whether of the higher
or the lower grades, to have his or
her credentials. For instance: If X

THE ,PIONEST INDIAN.
Valuable Utensils Are Safe in. the
Woods.
The honesty of the woods Indian—
that is, the Indian of northern Can-
ada—is of a very high order. The
sense of mine and thine, says Mr.
Stewart Telmer° White, is strongly
forced by tho exigencies of the North
Woods life. A nem is always oe the
move, It is impossible for him to
transport all his goods. The imple-
ments of winter are a burden in
stunmer. The return journey from
distant shores must be provided for
by food stations, The solution of
these needs is tho eactio,
And the cache is not a literal term
at all. It conceals nothing, Rather
does 'it hold, aloftin long-legged
prominence, for the inspection of all
who pass, what the owner has 00011
fit to leave behind. A heavy plat-
form high enough from the ground
to fruetrate the investigations of
animals is all that is required. Visu-
al concealment is unnecessary, be-
cause in the North Country a cache
is sacred, On it may depend the life
of a, man. He who leaves provisions
west fled them on his return, for
Ito inky reach them starving, and
the length of his out -journey may
depend on his certainty of relief at
this point en his in-jointneyeio
men passing touch not his hoard, for
soine day they may be in the same
ease, and a precedent Is a bad thing.
Thus in parts of the wildest coun-
tries of northern Canada I have elle
expectedly come upon a birch canoe
hangiug upsine down between tWo
trees; or a whole bunch of snow-
shoes depending beneath the fans of
a spruce; or a tangle of steel trap

oe a supply. of pork end flour swath-
ed like an Egyptian mummy lying in
state on a high bier. These things
we have passed by reverently as
symbols of a people's trust in its
kind.

regard to smaller things. I have

It le left to the Court to ilecedo
