Has been through smo'dering fires, left

Who first beyond the guarded outposts ran
And saw with wondering eyes new lands

Who built the hut in which a home began,
And round a camp-fire's ashes broke the

THE PULPIT AND THE PEW.
Botvveon a minister and hia congrega
tion thero 1b an notion and a ronction, no
that tho minister inakcB tho congrega
tion, and tho congregation makes tho
minister. Whon ono speaks of a min
Htor's sorvico to his pooplo ono Ib not
thinking of pow ront?, and offortorioB,
nnd statistics, and crowds; nor of schools,
and guilrifl, and classes, nnd locturoB.
Tho maBtor achiovomont of tho miniator
is to form charactor nnd to niako mon.
Tho chiof question, thoroforo, to consider
about u minister's work is: Whnt kind
of mon hnB ho made?
And one, ut leant, of the most docisivo
questions by which tho members of a
congregation can bo judged ie: What
havo thoy mndo of thoir minister? By
that ono dooB not moan whnt Bulnry they
may give him, nor how ngreonblo thoy
mny bo to him, but how far ho hua bo
como a mnn and risen to his hoight in
attnosphoro of hia congregation. Some
congregations hnve ruinod ministers by
harassing them till thoy lost heart and
self control and bocamo peevish nnd ill
tompered. Somo congregations, ngnin,
bnva ruinod ministers by so humoring
and petting them that thoy could onduro
no contradiction, nnd becomo childish.
That congregation hns dono ita duty
most effectively which has crontod un
atmosphere so gonial, nnd yet eo brac
ing, thnt every good in ite minister has
been fostered, and everything potty
killed. Ian Maclaren in the July Ladios'

OLD SETTLER'S ASSOCIATION.
Tho children of Lancaster county now
have a strong incentive to collect facts
concerning county history. Tho old sot
tier's association has uwuked to tho fact
that tho early history iB fast slipping
away from them and that something
must bo done to gather up tho things
which old timers know.
Accordingly two prizes at least are to
bo offered by the association to tho
schools which do tho best work in local
history during the coming year.
The state historical society has also a
prize to be givon next summer. Prof.
H. W. Caldwell offers a special prize and
J. Barrett announces that he will give
Bomething also. It is expected that
others will add to the list:
Those interested desire that Lancaster
become tho banner county of the
country as far as collecting local history
is concerned.
Professor Caldwell addressed the
teacherB of the county institute on the
subject last Wednesday. He showed
bow the children could be put to work.
The advantago of tho study would bo
very great as it was really the only study
taught in thn country schools in which
it was possible for the pupils to get at
all things first band. It waa thus
strictly in lino with the laboratory
methods which aro bo much advocated
by leading educators.
All larger history depends fundamen
tally upon local history and thiB local
history can bo collected only by local
residents.
The children ot tho county are to bo
raked to write articles upon the history
of the Echool districts in which they live,
describing tho organization, houses,
grounds, district boundaries; also upon
tho industrial history ot the districts,
giving lists ot farms with ownership
size, changes and characteristics of the
people.
They will bo encouraged to draw pic
tures and make mups to illustrate local
history.
Relics are especially desired, Doubt- 1
