time of consciously bowing the head in reverence. Reverence is perhaps the highest prerogative of man. He who grows irreverent has lost his heritage. I know very well how many young men desire to turn from these matters and to imagine that religion is an interest of a few and of the weak. But it is a vast mistake. Religion is one of the greatest forces in the world. Come from time to time into the very presence of God. Bow yourselves before him. Do your duty in view of his law, and in that law find your daily delight." President Eliot said that "the danger that confronts the young man, today, is the danger of yielding to vicious temptations. Now that is a bodily danger and by befouling your bodies you may defeat the whole object of life. Avoid that danger, gentlemen. That way comes the only absolute ruin that I have seen come upon young men of promise, as I have lived here for nearly sixty years-the only absolute ruin that I have seen come upon young men is through the destruction of the bodily health in consequence of vice. Never experiment with any vice. A great safeguard is hard work. Let the good crowd out the evil. Never believe, health demands of you vicious practices." Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 25, 1908.

An important feature of McClure's Magazine for January is the first installment of "Marriage a la Mode," a new novel by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, dealing with American life. Then there is a great story of the South Seas, "The House of Mapuhi," by Jack London, and five other good, strong short stories. The articles are fully up to the McClure standard. An educated man who went into the saloon business tells of his experiences; General Kuropatkin declares that the Treaty of Portsmouth was a premature and dangerous peace and cites facts to prove it; Dr. Brandreth Symonds gives some interesting figures on the mortality of overweights and underweights; James L. Ford contributes a paper on "The Appeal of the Stage," and Will C. Barnes has some interesting things to say about wild horses. OBITUARY AHEARN-Brother D. Ahearn, Division 24, St. Albans, Vt.
