At last I am thankful to be able to put before you an interesting paper on the High School. I hope this is only the beginning of a series of articles on this and other practical subjects.

The High School.

" Probably the most important result to be gained from high school training is concentration and point of application. But what is our motive in training our minds ? Is it to be better fitted as a vessel of the Lord, that whatsoever we do, we may do it heartily as unto the Lord ? Is anything less than this worthy of one washed in the blood of the Lamb ? If this is our motive, and kept steadily in view, then things will fall into the right order. The Lord's things will have first place, and our studies will not intrude upon His time; neither will we deprive our bodies of needed sleep and outdoor exercise; for, as the temple of the Holy Ghost, they should be well cared for.

" Then, as to the Lord's Day :It is so easy to leave some studies for Sunday, or to read a book for English. But when so much of our time during the week must be given to other things, can we not keep this one day entirely for the Lord who loved us and gave Himself for us?" F. P. (Minnesota)
