"I'm most anxfoua to speak severely to

"Very rocky mountain, I d say." I ven

An Inheritance may be of great value to

It brings added responsibilities to the one
who receives It; responsibilities for Its

toll of another cannot be lightly squandered
without grave fault If rot crime. Again an
inheritance may come unexpectedly, where
none haa been looked for, or may fall to
materialise after long years of patient ex
pectation. Two men died a few years apart en a
charge where I was one time pastor. The
first had lived with hla family on a little
tract of land in thi outskirts
In very humble circumstances. One day he

he left the family enough to bury him
they may count tliemselea fortunate."
When the undertaker was preparing the,
body for burial he discovered a belt around
the dead man's waist, which, on examina
tion, was found to contain between 17.000
and IH.000; money that hla wife even did
not know that he had in hla possession.

that they had not expected and which

To the grief of the heirs was added the

I wish to write concerning a royal in

Methodists" from the founrlara nt
church. What a field of Investigation this
"P i tne student of Methodism.
Think of the many things we Inherited
from the Wesleys and their coadjutors,
such as our distinctive doctrines, our rich
hymnology, our distinguishing social ser
vices, our characteristic polity and our
name. But It is of none of these that I
will wish to speak, delightful as It would
be to do bo, but of Methodism's attitude
toward Christian education. Let me Just
say in passing that the church whenever
it has followed divine leading, has been the
friend of higher learning, not for the
classes only, but for the masses. In the
response of the church to the appeal of the
race for educational advantages will be
found one test of Its responsiveness to the
voice of Ood. Indeed I think that this
teat should be placed alongside of its
evangelistic zeal and missionary endeavor
IntesUng the attitude of the church to
ward God and man.
Early Methodists and their preachers
were sometimes credited with being an ig
norant and noisy set. Fifty years ago a
young lad said to his Scotch Presbyterian
father, "Father I -wish to go to the Metho
dist academy at Wilbraham ." . His fath...
replied, "Robert. Robert, hev naethln' to
ao witn me Methodise. They are a bad
lot. They are like an empty wagon runnin'
over a frosty road. They make lots of
noise, out there Is not much In them."
Through the assistance of his mother, Rob-,
ert went to the Methodist scariomv an
college and for forty years has been one
of the foremost educators In our church.
However, much of the polish of the schools
some of the early Methodist Itinerants may
nave lacked they were not Ignorant ratUe

cases the superiors of the people to whom
mey were called to minister: They were
possessed of a "saddle-baa: culture raniiv
wit and humility that made them men to be

them and generally proved themselves

evidenced by our failure to require a col
legiate education of the candidates for
our ministry. In answer to this I would
say that I for one hope that the time will
not come when we ' shall make It a rigid
requirement for admission to our ministry
and conferences that the candidate be poa
sessed of a college diploma or degree. The
distinctive field to which Methodism has
ever been called to minister would make
such a thing.colamltous. But we do Insist
on ministers being students, not to say
scholars. We do recommend college and
seminary training for those coming' Into
our ministry, and we do require a five
years' course. Including the course for ad
mission On trial, of those coming Into the
traveling connection. This course averages
thirteen points a year and Is a liberal edu
cation kn itself. I think I have made It
plain that our traditional attitude toward
education Is not alwaya rightly Interpreted.
Historically.
Perhaps we can better gain the true per
spective we are searching for by consider
ing Methodism's attitude toward education;
from a historical standpoint. It may seem
a trite saying to. affirm that Methodism
was born In a college, yet It Is none less
than the truth. The Wesleys came of cul
tured parents and were themselves
possessed of no mean culture. Their
linguistic accomplishments were known
afar In their day; their skill In dialectics
made them marked men during their days
In Oxford. Sometimes it Is easier to crit
icise than to do the things that the person
does whom we criticise. Let the critics
of Methodism's humble beginning take their
places alongside of John and Charles
Wesley. Let them translate from the
Hebrew, Greek, Latin and German and
carry on conversation in Greek as these
men did and their criticism may be worth
paying heed to. .
The Methodists early' began founding
schools and have ever kept It up. In 173i
Methodism took definite rise In England,
and In the same year John Wesley founded
Ktngswood school for ' children. In 1744
Wesley held his first conference, fore
runner of our annual conferences, and the
same year he proposed a theological school
and projected a seminary for lay preachers.
American Methodism was organized at the
famous Christmas conference In Baltimore,
1784. The same conference that formally
set up the Methodist Episcopal church In
America projected Cokesbury college, whlih
was built the next year at Abingdon,-Md.
It would be a delightful task to. trace the
history of our church's progress In the edu
cational field during the 125 years that have
elapsed since Cokesbury college was built
a task that would have Its all too frequent
sombre tlngo cn account of vicissitudes
through which our education' work has
passed but I have not space to devote to
such a detailed review.

ti facii rs have entered, complicating the
problem and making the future les easy
of prediction. Chief among these problems'
Is the one piesented In the Carnegie foun-
datlon. bringing, as It does, tremendous
pressure on struggling Institutions to "de
nature", themselves. Will these institutions
in our own church remain true to the
spirit In which they were founded even
though they must struggle against great
odds, or will' they throw off the denomi
national name, which lias become a yoke
for them, In order to get in on the Carne
gie aud like foundations? Or will the con
ditions of the foundations be made leas
harsh and rigid hi their applications to
the schools of the church? These are
questions that must give us pause for each
of them present Its own difficulties and
dangers. Were It not better for a Metho
dist school to be compelled to disband than
to betray the spirit and traditions of Its
founders by throwing off the denomina
tional slleglance In order to perpetuate a
doubtful career under any foundation that
refuses to recognise Its right to reverence
and preserve the family name?
Another problem that confronts Methodist
schools, some of them at least, la the ac
tion of our bwn university senate requiring
that within six years every college must
come up to these conditions: "Must not
admit students with -lesa- than- fourteen
units of preparation, must give four full
years of college Instruction, must have at
least six professors giving all their time to
college work, and must have an endowment
of at least $200,000." We are told that this
ruling will affect at least thirty-seven of
our Institutions which must seoure an ag
gregate of $4,000,000 Increased endowment,
with a possible expenditure of $4,000,000
more for necessary buildings and equip
ment to carry on their larger work. Will
the men of wealth as well as those of les
ser means respond to the call of these
Schools In order to bring them to the re
quired standing, or will the university sen
nte give a longer time, If neseccary, before
degrading the school that may fall to reach
the requirements In six years?

The 1!10 season for the great American
noi t of hunting with the dogs has begun.
the Initial number on the urogram being
the field trials now being conducted by
the Manitoba Field Trial club At Pomhtl.ri
City, Manitoba. Dogs from every section
of the United States and Canada, are tak
ing part In the trials, and f;-om now urnll
the beginning of next summer there will
be busy times for both the dogs ami their
handlers. For bird dog the season starts
with the Manitoba meeting and emls with
the United States field trials snd the
championship stakes, which will be held
In January at Rogers Springs, Tenn. Aa
All roads of the political world, at one tme
led to Rome, so all loads of the bird shoot
ing World lead to Rogers Spring. To
win the championship and the T'nited
Slates Derby or all-age stages. Is the last
letter In a bird dog's career, and tho whole
circuit of field trials constitute a process
of elimination looking toward the final
event at Rogers Springs. '
The present season Is to be the longest
In the history of field trials, and dates are
so arranged that dogs may attend every
one of these trials. Just as horses make the
circuit of the great shows or of the prlncl
pal race tracks. It requires from 1 000 to
20,000 acres of land for conducting a mod
em field trial, and It Is growing Larder
each year to find sufficient contiguous
territory. When trial week arrl.es the
dogs are assigned by lot the order In which
they shall run. The names of all candi
dates entered are written on slips of paper
and placed In a hat. They are then drawn
out one by one, and the dogs are assigned
to run In braces. Tbe dogs getting Into the
first race run first, and so on until the
whole list Is completed, which usually re-
quirea many days. Much depends on the
luck of the drawing, since the dogs which
Start In the frost of the morning or the
heat of the afternoon are at a disadvan
tage. After all of the bracea have had their
run, the Judges select the best dogs for the
second series, and the winner of this sec
ond series Is awarded first honors.
The handling of dogs for these events is
an art in which but few men are skilled
To train a dog so as to make him aa much
a master of his work in the field as If he
were a human being, while at the same
time developing that wonderful power of
sense which makes him the most dls
criminatory animal in the world, is no
small task, and requires a degree of pa
tience that Is almost sublime. A well
trained bird dog can point birds at from
ten to fifteen yards, with no other guide
than his remarkable sense of smell. He
can tell whether a bird Is alive, dead or
wounded. He can unerringly recognise
whether the scent Is from a covey or from
a single bird. When crossing a foot trail
he can recognize the difference between
that and a body scent, and is able when
crossing a foot-trail to decide Instantly
which way the birds went. He will barely
pause at a roosting place, but Invariably
will stop when, he approaches the game.
While the dog Is displaying this marvelous
power of his olfactory organs, he is at
the same time giving hs maBter an Inti
mate picture of ail the mental operations
going un In his mind. To see him coursing
over broad acres, choosing with unerring
accuracy the spots where birds are likely
to be found, ranging through a large field
with as much Intelligence as a man
pointing when the birds are near, backlog
when his brace-mate points, dropping at
shot and wing, makes a picture to warm
the cockles of the heart of any man, how
ever slowly the blood may course through
his veins. As the dog is traveling 'at the
rate of about ten miles an hour when he
perceives the body scent of the quarry he
points, and must stop stock-still at the
first perception of this scent, the feat be
comes the more remarkable.
There - long has been a controversy be
tween the lovers of the setter and the
supporters of Hit pointer, as to which Is
the better from the sportman's point of
view. The friends of the setter declare
that the pointer never has won a cham
plonshlp stake; while the friends of the
pointer reply that the pointers have won
high honors In proportion to the number
entered at the big field trials. To thla the
Better people reply that the reason there
are so few pointers entered at the big
trlais is that few of them are able to
make sufficient showing. In the . smaller
events to get a chance In the more Im
portent trials. The pointer Is claimed to
be a little weak in endurance and gain
liness, and to be a less steady worker In
the field than the setter. Yet It mast not
be presumed that he Is without? his good
qualities. Judge Macdonnel of Manitoba
has a dog known as Old Point, which he
dec Lares la so well posted on the game
laws that In hunting Mongolian pheasants
he Invariably recognized the difference
between the hen and the cock pheasant
and never points the former.

The training of a field trial dog requires
many mouths of patient labor. The dog la at
Hist yard-broken, that Is, taught to obey
such commands as "to-ho.l' which In the
hunting vocabulary means to come to a
standstill, lie Is then taught to "come In."
and Inter trained to walk at the heels of
the handler when commanded. As his
natural desire always Is to range around
over fields, It Is rather a punishment to
have to walk at the heels of his master.
To avoid his becoming "gun shy," much
patience and good Judgment Is necessary.
For hunting work he must be taught to
retrieve, although retrieving Is no longer
part of the field trials. After having been
tuught these things, his next lessons are
in ranging, dropping to shot and to wing.
and pointing. When he has mastered these.
important lessons he Is ready for work.
The bird dog Is like the athlete in one
respect; he often suffers from over-train
ing. The dog which learns to rely entirely
on the order of his master never will take
first honors In a big field event. He must
have the quality of self-reliance and mint ba
taught to Judge many matters for himself.
Tho professional handler shows hla bett
kill when he reaches the happy medium
of. training that will at once make the
dog perfectly responsive to the desires of
his nifter, and at the same time fully
fillip huu to do his work without de
tailed Instruction. When a dog rtMhee
this point he has nearly approximated
human Intelligence.
More attention is paid to the breeding of
dogs In Engluod than in America. There
they give much attention to the qualities
that make the dog a prize winner at ,
bench show, while In a measure they
overlmok the qualities that, make him
successful In the field. Hunting conditions
are so different In. the mother country
from those In America that the English
dog would not be as great a success here
as the American dog. Not only Is this
true with reference to bird dogs, but
equally so with referonce to fox hounds.
The American cares not so much for the
looks ot his dog as for his staying quali
ties In a race with Sir Reynard. Soma
Americans have been heard to say that
they would not trade' a single favorite
dog for a full pack of English hounds.
They assert there Is no Joy under huaven
that surpasses the full, deep-mouthed music
of a pack of hounds In full pursuit of an
American fox. In some sections each
farmer owns a dog or two, and when they
meet for a common chase there is often
considerable betting as to whose dog will
reach the fox first. As they listen to tho
running hounds each man Is able to pick
out the baying of his own dog, and some
times can tell by the voice whether ha is at
the forefront or lagging behind in the ,
chase, in England It has been said that it
Is harder to find a first-class fox hound
than It Is to get a good prima minister.
The greyhound has tne most complete
record of any breed .of sporting dog. The

old. Is the classic of all dogdom, and
"coursing" Is the aristocratic sport of Eng
land. In this sport a brace of dogs la al
lowed to chase a hare. They are sent of
on even terms, and the one which "beats
him to It" Is awarded a score ot from one
to three points. Thon there is a careful
notation made of all "turns," "wrenches"
and "kills." A "turn" occurs when the
hare Is forced to turn from his course at
more than a right angle. A "wrench" oc
curs when he turns from his "path at lens
than a right angle. There Is perhaps more
betting on this sport than on any other la
which dogs take part, unless It be the
brutal bouts of the fighting pit.
It Is said that the first man who ever
saw an American Jack rabbit wished, most
of all for a good greyhound. If the grey
hound is suited for chasing the Jack rabbit
the beagle Is regarded as the dog par ex
cellence for the molly cottontail, and there
are many beagle clubs In the United States
which enjoy long seasons with the Ameri
can hare. In Canada there Is considerable
demand for wolf dogs, and much profit is
made out of the business of wolf hunting.
The government pays a bounty of $1 for
each wolf scout and the pelt la worth $1.60.
Some wolf doga have earned as high as $300
a year for their masters. It requires no
end of endurance and grit in a dog to suc
cessfully cope with the wolves of the plains.
It Is said that the most important dosj
center In the world Is the town of Haver
fordwest, the county seat of Pembroge
shlre, Wales. This town nas a population
of 6,000 people and of more than 6,000 dogs.
When one goes about on the street he In
variably sees mora dogs than people. The
majority of then are setters trained for
the bird shooters, although every on of
the more than forty well-marked breeds of
dogs recognized by - the kennel clubs of
En rope and America, are to be Hound there,
