Anglo-Saxon and other white races
are of an African origin, having
crossed over Into Europe during the
neolithic age. Their habits, charac
ter of food, environments, attitude of
their homes, climate, occupation, their
greater distance from the rays of the
tropical sun, are some of tha ethnol
ogical factors which are believed to
have bleached their skins and mads

Character.
i no nniui ot ministry can be ac-
qiiTred as easily as the habit of idle
ness. But it Is always the man or
Iwy of character who Intrenches him
,f,?lf with good habits, and It is always
the moral weakling, the characterless
person, who becomes the slave of evil
habits. Accomplishments are either
helps or hindrances to genuine suc
cess. High qualities of character alone
can make tliein worth while, mighty,
and enduring.
Man's Place in the Univeree.
What Is man but the great musi

a little creature, puts his fingers on
the keys, and wakes the universe to
thunder of harmony, stirring up the
whole creation to mightiest acclama
tions of praise. Charles Spurgeon.

In the Engadine and letting the water
