"You are admirably equipped and In
good condition to put this high school
In operation. The relative cost will oe
much less than if it had to be located
somewhere else.
One object in your work should be
to supply teachers for the mountain

course, does not carry the pupils far
enough for such work. Therefore, 1

succeeds like success, because continued
success means that those who
have wrought It have learned the secret
of knowing what to do, and when
and how to do it.
"I have been for years a close ob
6erver of the work of Rev. Edgar Tufts
at Banner Elk and I have come to believe
that he is not likely to fall in
anything that he undertakes for the
doulble reason that he has learned to
plan wisely and to exocute vigorously.
"if believe with him that the conditions
created by the work already doue
through the mountain schools and by
the material prosperity of the mountain
country clearly call for Institutions of

serve the counsel of God In their generation

that funds contributed to the

with wisdom that comes of successful

"Having been familiar more or less
with the origin and marvelous progress
of the Lees MacRae Institute at Banner

and having recently visited it and made

and having personal interviews with

knowledge of a number of the pupils

pleasure to express my approval of the
forward movement proposed by Rev.
Rdgar Tufts in establishing a high
school department"?C. A. Munroe.
I next submitted my paper on the
high school and the above leters to a
certain friend of the school who replied
in part as follows: "I agree with
you that the establishment of a high
sahool in your section is almost absolutely
necessary. ... I should like
to take upon myself the erection of the
building, but owing to many calls that
T have, I am unable to do so, but will
ngree to furnish half of the amount,
that is f4,000, provided you secure the
balance elsewhere. As you say you
have 11,000 in hand this will leave you
hut $3,000 to secure, and with my
pro viso to lead off, you should be able
to readily secure it. If you use mj
promise please do not use my name."

History of the Presbyterian Church In
Georgia is the last contribution of the
late Dr. James Stacy to the literature
of the Church.
This work, upon which Dr. Stacy labored
with crPflt enr? nnrf HiliirpnrB In
the last year of hl3 life, has been completed
and edited by his son. Rev. C. I.
Stacy, of El'berton, Ga. This volume
is an authentic and complete account
of the origin and growth of the Presbyterian
Churoh in the state of Georgia
from the beginning of the colony to
the present; including histories of the
principle churches and ministers, the
Presbyteries and Synod. Dr. Stacy was
a writer whose scholarly attainments,
refined taste and lovable temperament
eminently qualified him for his task.
Many of our readres will remember
Mm as having been a regular contributor
of the critical and devotional articles
to our columns. These were of the
highest excellence.

T. Faris, Associate Editor of the Presbyterian
Board of Publication and
Sabbath School Work. Pp. x, 246.
$1.00 net. Philadelphia: Presbyterian
Board of Publication, 1912.
Dr. J. H. Miller was born March 20,
i?4U, and died .Tune 2, 1912. He was
ordained September 11, 1867. The fortyfive
years of public ministry, crowded
as few men's lives have been, do not
contain the whole of his active career.
His real ministry began in his services
during the war in connection with the
Christian Commission, in hospital,
camp and at the front His earliest
connection was with the United Presbyterian
Church, but after two years in its
ministry he became a member of the
Presfbytery of Philadelphia, of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., besrin
ning as pastor of Bethany church, when
it had seventy-five members, resigning
that charge after nine years of exhaustive
labor with twelve .hundred members,
and two years later beginning his
eoneetion with the Board of Publication,
-but keeping up his interest and
activity in pastoral work. For thirtytwo
years he was engaged in the editorial
department of the Board, but during
most of this time gave his evenings
and Sundays to pastoral and pulpit
work, building up two great churches.
He came nearer doing the work of
three men than of one, and he did it all
well. Everything he wrought was of
the highest excellence. In addition to
Ills editorial work upon the church's
periodicals he wrote as many as sixty
one nooks, some of them voluminous,
end most of them devotional, giving to
us some of the (best works of that kind
now extant.
"The Woman of Tact, and Other Bible

the olden times to throw light upon the
life of today, and in this he is very successful.
We are apt to fix our attention
chiefly upon the men of the Bible.
Mr. MacKay shows that woman has a
note worthy place among its heroes,
and great characters. Even some who
are not at all prominent are great in
the lessons taught by their lives. In
the midst of so much that is good it is
with regret that we find at least one

faith which Is to be desired. In speak*

clearly implies that he does not believe
that the Levitical code was promulgated
until a date iater than that of
the Judges. When one gives up the
historicity of the Bible and tries to rearrange
it to suit himself, he treads
upon dangerous ground. He Is really

How many persons dread to eat their
