Now the teacher has learned the se-

end of the month he may see no im—
provement over the first of the month.
At the close of the year the pupils may
seem little wiser than at the beginning
of the year. But the teacher's success
lies not. in a brilliant record not ship-
ing results at on examination. not in
the flushing of a. pupil“ s cheek nor the
glistening of an attentive eye, not in

Every Christian worker is a prophet.
and in a peculiar sense the preacher is
a forerunner of the Christ whose spe-
cial ambassador he ls. ills work is
simply to prepare the way for his com-
ing Lord. What he seems to accomp-
lish in the way of building churches
and raising money for missions. and
enlarging memberships is nothing save
as it makes ready for the kingdom.

The trite life purpose is to pave the
way for others. to make it easy for
them. The Christian life is not an end
in itself. The Christian's object is not
simply to reach heaven himself. that

miss heaven. bill to make it easy for
others to reach heaven. That is why
he tries to be good. in order to help
others to be good This is the motive
of all true existence. The farmer

Announce
To the patrons of the NorWalk iiygela Ice company of last season; and
the new ones we hope by courteous and gentlemnniy treatment. and the
practice of correct business methods to make this year:—
’l‘he new management wishes to any that no expense has been spared in
putting the above plantln excellent, condition. and that it will be run to its
fullest capacity. We shall put no peddle wagons on the different routes (un-
less we have to) but would ask old and new patrons alike to send their ice
men to the plant for HYGIIIA ICE where it will be sold to responsible deal-
ers at a price that will enable them to deliver it at the same ilgures as the
natural product. To dealers who have to crush ice in boxes for their cus-
tumors we would say that we have an ice crusher that will grind up ice at
me rate of a hundred pounds per minute which will be at their service gratis. , .
Cold storage furnished at reasonable rates. and distilled water on tap. ‘
James Moreheud, Brookslde Ice Wagons, will deliver all you want.
