murk of the !.<¦*- mntiirr in hi niatulldc syorristnwn may *. the story of john bunywn of bed ford england is one every american boy and sfri should study he tii liniii in ii;.'s nnd he died in 1688 from the effects of i cold contracted while re taining from delivering one of the rer mong for which he has been renowned for the last 200 yearn h11 piirenli unc poor ms fattier a linker and the great preacher had a very imperfect edncdtlon indeed none except ilmi which was self-obtained he iil i^i d i the age of 18 and in 1646 was present nt the seise of leicester and escaped by t ik in bit 1 tut ion of a comrade us rentrv in hli place h 	 irried a poor girl after leaving the army soon after this event he became agitated wits com panctlocs of conscience he conceived the idea that he had committed crimei for wiiirli be otlgbt to seek pardon and in 1668 he became a baptist preacher and n tmit:m of the sternest order he was bitter against t he quakers daring thih period nf liia mental and moral transition from being a profane nmn to his becoming very religious lie was pastor of a baptist church nnd preached about live years ami rai the restoration king charles ii in kifio bad an net pasted against conventicles " which put n stop to banyan's preach ing for he whb convicted of being ii non-conformist and sentenced to perpet ual banishment.and cast menu while into bedford prison where he spent the next 12 years of his life support inn the wants of his wife and children by mak ing tagged lace and devoting his stud ies to the reading of the bible and fox's martyrs these books alone constitut ing his library at the declaration of liberty of james ii by the intercession of a benevolent bishop he was 1 i be rat ed the conventicles were dissenters from the established church for relig ious worship and in this sense the word is used by english statutes in the united states we dave no such laws bunyan belonged however to that claw many of whom outwardly nnd formally conformed to thfl established church and attended it but secretly in the afternoon assembled to dissent and discuss religious views of their own in their own way respecting the law un der compulsion but the point i want to make la that this poor tinker's son during his im prisonment for 12 years working at tiis laces to save his family from starva tion mastered the bible new testament nnd all and wrote a book that has gone through more translations in the differ ent languages of the world and has been more universally read than anv other book except the bible itself the pil grim's progress " the lesson is the complete study and mastery of very few but best books after writing pilgrim's progress in prison he wrote for his printers to send out with his allegory his celebrated introduction or preface called the author's apology which every man should study the language is antiquated now but it 3hows in beautiful practical expressions how often when we start out we do not intend to do that which we find we have at last accomplished not in a religious sense but in these united states there have been incidents that resembled the eelf-education of john bunyan and among politicians the most notable was that of andrew johnson of tennessee the 17th presi dent of the united states the extreme poverty of his parents prevented an drew from receiving any school educa tion and at the age of 10 he was ap prentice bov t a tailor a gentleman was in the habit of visiting the tailor shop and rending aloud from the american speaker and andrew be came interested especially in the ex tracts from the speeches of the english statesmen pitt and fox he could then neither read nor write he de termined to learn both and filially an drew johnson became president of the united states the war was over he was for restoration he traveled and spoke was inipeaoed by the house tried by the senate and escaped convic tion as job bays by the skin of his teeth served his term out went back to tennessee and subsequently was elected to the united states senate by a combination of both puties of the state he had thrice ruled us governor and so often represented in state and national councils take a tinker's son who never went to bchool and who had to spend 12 years in jail for conscience's sake who wrote a book that will live as long as the christian religion shall survive and take a tailor l>oy who could neither write or cipher when he was married and who filled more political high and exalted offices in a great republic than any other statesman since the founda tion of the government and you have example of what boys can do who are determined to learn and who are never overladen with bags of books or may j never even see a superintendent of cum iikiii schools now is the winter of our

beauty this morning the beds being planted with various varie ties of tulips hyacinths and pansies all of which were in full bloom i attended divine service at the new old south church in the morning which is located just a short distance from phillips brooks church and the public library this is one of the fin est churches in the hub and i was not disappointed n going then rev george a gordon d d pastor drenched a most excellent sermon on the topic i have set watchmen upon thy walls 0 jerusalem taken from the 2d chapter of is.iiah which was a stirring appeal to his members to come out and live a stienuous life taking up their part as successors to the watchmen who have in years gone by been around about the city of jerusalem protecting it living a life of unselfishness lie said t.hat the shame of the church today was that the members were not willing to live unlike the world the music was most excel lent and in all i felt greatly helped from the service sunday to me is different in boston than elsewhere the people seem to have the spirit of their pilgrim fathers iii their habits of worship on sunday and the city puts on not a holiday but a day of rest appearance i spent most of the afternoon wandering about old cambridge and the harvard grounds where i always find something of inter est there seems to lie such a quiet dignity and i might sav sacred air pervading the old spot that i love to roam about one is under the impulse of removing his hat as he recalls the men who have trod over these grounds and the events which have happened in the immediate vicinity the fact is that i was obliged to take my hat off and carry it upon different occasions if not because of respect and veneration it was because of the hot sun i am unable to sav which i ran across the old church in cam bridge which was used by washington's troops tor barracks in 1"1 and after wards in 1775 washington and bis wife attended divine service here a short distance away is the tree under which washington first took command of the american troops i also came across the site where oliver wendell holmes lived the college seems to be outgrowing its quarters they are building and con template still other structures they have practically abandoned their athlet ic field on tbe grounds and now have another at brighton they intend building on tbe old grounds tbis is a good sign it looks as though tbe de mand for college education were on the increase i wish it were so in ambler that we bad a demand for high er education i forgot to mention that after church this morning i took a ride through the subway wbich thev were building two years ago when i was here this is certainly a wonderful accomplish ment on tlie part of the electric car lines in taking all this travel and con fusion from bovleston and tremont streets where all the car lines centred and running them through this sub wav the car which i took at tbe end on boyleston street brought me out at the new iniori railroad station in about ii or 15 minutes ride this ultion station bv the way is a monster hay ing 2h tracks it is not as handsome of course as our broad street station hut i tli ink larger this seems to be
