Address, .Mrs J.W.Jackson, MxjfKior, COTTAOlt ScJalia Mo (Con, from last week) Today 54 tho brightest and best day the world evorsaw. The gospel of peace U preached in every land and in every clime; in far off China, ud the of the Gnngcs, in tho fastness of the Ama zon, by thewfttnr of Japan, and in tho jungles of darkest Africa. Tin church is aggressive nnd uncom promising, tho volco of some one crying in tlio wilderness, and like the giant oaks and towering mountains, it ever points men upward, onward, licavenwnrd,-the inspirer of human cndeavoranilthe mor al uplift of human life. Through tho teachings of the church tho wlordis comprehending the sacred ness of liumnn life, swords are being turned into pruning hooks, and nations aro arbitrating their differences. Uecause of the ministry human slav- ory isa thing of the past, churches and schools adorn every hill and beautify every vale, despotism iscrutnbling, an,, the doctrine of the equality of tuon is becoming more nud more universal. Come my brother, draw near, let us reason together. You represent tho preacher who stands between sin and folly on tho one hand, ami wisdom and righteousness ou the other; I, the teach er who stands between ignorance on the one hand, and culture on the other. Our callings are different, but noble our mis sions, identical. Hnving common aims, wo join hands in united eflcrts. Wamust not faltor nor look back. We must fncoourrosponsibilitiescheerfnlly audovor-comc thoobstaelesthat impede our progress. Our race is to day being beld ,up '.o public ridicule, under-goiug tho sover est criticism, nnd passing through the fiery crueibla oEprocri'ition,-the result of radical predjudice. We have suffered greater wrongs, en dured greater rtlTDctious. May we not with complacency bear tip under thesef God wants to draw us closer to him in order that wo may servo him in the boautyof holiness, thus, living bettor, purer, nob'or and more useful lives. This sickness is uot unto death. These lighter afflictions are but for a season, 'Whom the Lord loveth ho nhastisoih." Wcare not without friends. Clod has in spired the hearts of such men as your be loved llishop Hamilton, Mayor liabcock, President Jtoosevclt, and thousands of others to doal with us gently nnd justly, and accord us a chance in the race and battles of lite. Hut we must do our duty and measure up to the rofuirod standard of manhood Of us tho world is exacting men, noblo men, industrious, mteiiegent men, men who consider it their burden duty to be morally ns well as physically clean. Of us it also demands women, puro women, goullc, lutollegent, amiable wo men, women "who will uot shrink tho op' pressed by every foe," and who will not Btoop ovon to conquer, Woo unto the nation who is a boggnr, or a pcoplo who crowd aud cringe.

Wo may ho domed tho right of suff rage and conveniences of public acconv oduttous; wu may bo thrust into "Jim Crow" cars; but, mark you, no mau or combination of 111 011 cau doprivo us of our manhood or womanhood. Proachers, parents aud teachers must form a triple nllinnco for the purpose of throwing around our young pcoplo a safe guard, and rigorously "train thom iu tho way they should go."

It cares for the health and physical training, provides for refined social culture, gives careful attention to morals and manners, and aims to lead the student to a persoual religious life. The work of the College is divided into six general departments' I, Primary and Grammar Otadoh, providing a thorough- drill itt tie elementary branches.

Senator Beveridgo Quoted. We take the liberty of quoting the fol lowing from the benator's paper entitled 'Americans of To-day and To-morrow," as we find it in the Saturday Kvening's Post. It Is so full of wisdom and common sense we aro suro you will be pleased. "What is the secret. of your power?" said ono of those who sat bv the bed side of tho dying liichelicu. "Toll us, thnt wo may contiuno your work for ili good of l'l-nncc." And the dying statcsman-soldler-priost answered "Somo say it is courage that I am n lion; somo say it i cnift that 1 am a fox. It is neither. It is justice." Soruus the noblo anecoote. Doubtless it is not true as litteral fact, but it ought to bo truo; thcreforo, for tho purposo of hu man instruction n. Is truo. fcvory man of sensibility ocnsionnlly finds atory which so interprets mau and the world to him that henceforth itbecomes npart of hischaractcr. Such tale is tho legend of ltichclieu. Apply Itto tho repmllic, .lustteol This Nation must bo just. Tho first papor was designed to show our power, growing out of our location on tho map of the world and the resources within us; tho second paper nttempted to show that out of tho etomcnts of our very boingspriugs our first national and individual necessityof character: to wit, tlio uccessity of couservntlsm, modora' tiou, thoughtful poiso.This paper is to demonstrate that this power which, tin riyalod iu tho world if well comsorved must pass all othei human influences and is worth whileonly when used Just y. And if the Nation mutt be lust iu its dealings with the world, its cltzons must bo just, Why? Uecuse nooltizenof tho Republic can disassocioto himself from tho Nation Tho Nation's neces sides are his necessities; tue Nation's characteristics, his characteristics; tho Nation's opportunities, hit. opportune ties; weightier than nil. tho Nntiou's du tics' his duties. And duty Is a great word It is n greater word than the word wealth; greater than the words roimey. power, ulc-yy, dominate- lti the word Work and Self-help. A number of students boarding m tho College nro permited to earn somo part of their expenses by "-ork in tho build ing or on tho grounds, provided they are willing and efficient. Liberal pay is allowed for all work done, but employ ment will not bo contiuued to those who fail to do their work satisfactorily. Most students earn in this wny t'.'.OOn month; some earu larger amounts. Application for woik should be made to the Presi dent iu advance of coming. A Jnrgo number of utudents find em ployment iu homes in the uity. suill cieut to meet expenses of board and tuition. The call for yotiug ladles for these positions is always grentor than tho supply. Application for such em ployment should bo made iu advance through tho President of the College, As far 11s possible wo endeavor to safeguard those working in the city, but eannotbo fullyretpousiblu forthose outside the building.

Charachter D.evelopement, "Reputation," says one, "is what dcodIc sav vnn nri" "Character." remarks another, "is what you are in reality," To some, it may be difficult to note the difference liotwer-n xeputation, and character, and unless they give these terms serious consideration, they will never bo able to see their cliff- ence. inererore, we sliall be pleased to have you notice these two very expressive terms. By noting them in their true rela tion, we believe, much good mav be done. In youth, especially, young men and women frequently look uuer reputauon-ouiKiingratlier tlian character development. Too often is it the case that loaders inspire their constituents to build reputation. We must be careful, for thru-out Amer ica ye near tlie cry irom pulpit, press, rostrum and all prog ressive agencies, to uuiici uiiaracter. And why? Because, in me ouiiding reputation men and women oft-times, for the sake of popular sentiment, sacrifice the strongest virtues of their jimunooa auct womaujiood. 1 liey resort to unmanly practises 10 aciucve a seitisn end. There is one Sentiment expressed by one of our greatest statesmen, who, when, for following the principles of justice .aw! right, as denied the presidency, exclaimed, "I had rather be right than president of the United States.1' May the state, nation, yea, the municipality have many sons of such manly qualities, We arc pleased to be informed thru the coltiuis of the "Profession al World" that Mrs. Anna Wright has been elected teacher in the Douglas School of Columbia, Mo.

WltlouTGTri, A girl, if she would be my ideal, must undergo an examination, une qual to any taken in school. First of all, she must be obedient and benevolent aloiitlier home and and to her parents a beam of light and joy, a household qcen, She should be neat and industri ous, and keep so well attired that when she hears the door- bell ring, she does not have to rush in ordci to be prepared to meet them at the door. She must be a good housekeeper, that is, keep her house well amtng edtliat wheitfathur or brother omcs in late, from work of course, they will not stumble over a fallen chair, or a misplaced ctispidore. She should, or at least I rather she would have, a slight conception of music; she must be well cquipcd in etiquette; have a vocabulary con sisting of many eloquent words, ani use them at the proper time and in their proper places, She must bo a lady in every sense of the word; void of holding up cor ners, gossiping on the street, yelling to a boy 3 blocks away, and laugh, ing boisterously. She rnus.t resoect oldagcsunreiu- ly, and give everyone n cause to say that she deserves well the title, lady. blic nut.st be dutiful, and not have bet mother say "my daughter never scweda stitch in her life, or she can iiotiuakea biscuit; she cannot patch, if she would take a broom to sweep it would blister licr lnuds;"as I have heart! so many mothers s,ay. She must know how to play the sewing, or sweepingpiano as well as the musical piano. She must do her w'otk well aud without ptocrastir.ation, She must possess every bearing that is an attraction to the eye of an artist, and when any one comes to my studio, aud oders a picture re presenting n house- holu-angcl. lean conceive an out.line of my nngcl, and let it be the basis of my picture. On the street, she' should display grace, dignity, and politeness" 1 prefer a lady who is admirnd by other ladies and. demand the respect ol the gentlemen. She must not stay on the street so much that she becomes a$ common as a sign before a barber shop. She should put mot of her time in at home, and mako it admirable to the artistic eye, and wjicn she go es out she mtst be dressed tasteful ly, But not have on too much red. This is my "Ideal."
