ACCORDING to Thy Faith. ,

Many christians do but little because
they have not faith in their work will be
blessed. I wish to say a word to such. If
your heart is right towards God, and you
desire to see his cause prosper, you can do
something. Do not begin by muttering
excuses which satan will be ready to sug-
gest, but pray to God for strength, and then
60 to work. Pray earnestly for those whose
salvation you desire, and then be willing
to help answer your own prayer. Write
line, or speak a word, or do friendly act
as the Holy Spirit may direct Submit
yourself to the guidance of the Lord, and
he will lead you to usefulness and peace.
You must work with the Lord, not by
yourself and in your own strength. Any
child of God who will work for souls in
this way, will doubtless "come again re-
joicing, and bringing his sheaves with hin"
We are weak, but God is strong, and he
works in US both to will and to do of his
good pleasure. Labor, then, in the Lord s
might, and doubt not that his word will
prevail; and We shall soon see his goodness
in the land of the living. Why stand We
all the day idle?--s. c. X. in Morning Star.

Report ofthe Glover Farmers and Me-
chanics' Club.

Subject-Management of Stock in Win
ter.
Moses Goodwin thought stock should be
kept in warm stables, and fed regularly
with good hay; that they would be look
ing for their meals and thereby do much
better from the fact of expecting and re-
ceiving their food at set times.
Emery Cook spoke of the necessity of
taking stock from the fields to the barns
early in the season and giving the best care
and fodder at this time ofyear, and also
that they should be fed with regularity !;
and instanced in proof of this idea that
mankind, in order to enjoy the best phys
ical conditions, should have their food at
stated hours each day. He had not ex-
perimented sufficiently with cut feed to
know whether it was profitable or not, but
thought it would pay to feed roots was in
favor of sailing cattle often believed that
farmers wasted fodder by not having their
cattle eat everything clean in their man
gers, that they could keep their stock in
better condition to give them just what
they would eat up readily.
F. P. Cheney thought that stock should
have the best feed in cold weather, and
would give them coarse fodder in mild
weather; thought that farmers fed too
much grain for their own profit. He knew
that idea was very unpopular, but would
call their attention to the fact that there
was carried out of Orleans County during
the last winter and spring over 100000
for corn alone
F. w. Kimball agreed with Mr.. Cook il
regard to keeping stock well in the begin
ming of winter and that it was good econ
omy for farmers to have their cattle come
out in good condition in the spring even i
it required extra expense.
Rev. n. ". Scott did not think it profit
able to feed straw to cows; that in his ex
perience they lost as much as the straw
was worth. He said that upon purchasing
a COW from another dairy, by his methoC
of keeping, if he could not make gain 0
one-third, came to the conclusion that
had been previously well kept; would fee
good hay three times day, and have al
opportunity for stock to get salt as the,
, desired it.
Rev. S. K. B. Perkins was in favor @
cutting hay and straw for all kinds of stock
that his father by following this practic
: had for years, from six acres of land, be
r sides raising an abundant supply of pots
toes, corn, and garden vegetables for hi
family, cut sufficient amount of hay t
5 keep horse and COW in prime condition.
c. G. Hardy was in favor of keepin
: stock in good condition, and would fee
regularly, but was in doubt whetherit pal
t to cut feed. Thought that change
e food was necessary in order to keep cattl
, in healthy condition; would give sal
but not in cold day, and would keep h
! COWS best when dry; practices feeding el,

The River Bringing Life.

"And everything shall live whittier the
river cometh." have somewhere seen a
picture which, in briefwords and from dim
memories only, will endeavor to describe
The scene is in the far East, the hour, Just
when the earth is lighted up with that rare
Oriental sunrise which we Westerners love
to see; the time, the sultry August, when
the fierce sun has it all his own way, and
when the earth has a sickly cast upon it,as
if it tainted almost beneath the intensity of
the glare; the plain is scOrched and arid;
the river pressing within its sedgy banks
seems to have hardly strength enough to
prOpel its sluggish stream. There, on an
eminence, beneath a group of ancestral
palms, is knot of Egyptians, swarthy and
muscular, their eyes strained wildly toward
the south, in which quarter there seems to
be an Undesirable haze, forecasting the
shadow of some atmospheric or other
change.
Why wait they theresa eagerly? Why is
theirgaze fastened distinctly upon thepoint
where the river glimmers family on the
horizons dusky forehead? Because they
are conscious, from theexperience of years,
that the time has come for the inundation
of the Nile. They donot know how it will
be swelled; they are not able to tell the
source from which the tribute is distilled,
how in the far Abyssina it gathers its vol
ume of waters; but as certainly as if their
knowledge was profound and scientific they
calculate upon the coming food And they
know, too, that when the flood does come
that arid plain shall wave with ripening
grain; there shall be corn in Egypt, and
those blackened pastures will be gay with
such fertile plenty that the whole land
shall eat and be satisfied, "for everything
shall live whittier the river cometh." So
marvellous shall be the transformation that
the Turkish description of the Egyptian
climate shall almost hold good; that for
three months it is white like pearl for three
months brown like musk, for three months
green like emerald, for three months yell
low like gold.
This picture has struck me as furnishing
US with a very graphic representation Of
Ezekiel's vision embodied in the expert,
ence Of Eastern life. Nothing certainly can
better image the moral barrenness of the
world and the wilderness of sin than that
plain upon which the consuming heat ha.
alighted, whitening the green herb and in.
ducing the dread offamine Nothing car
better set forth the life and healing of the
gospel of Christ than the flow of that bless
ed life giving river; and nothing can bet
ter show the attitude BETTING all christian
men than the attitude of these peasants
eager and earnest, watching the first muir
murings of the quiescent waters that the,
might catch and spread the joy.-Punshon

DenyjnQ Christ.

1t is fatal mistake to suppose that there
can be no apostasy from Christ, where we
are not absolutely called on to deny his
name or to burn incense to an idol. We
deny our Lord whenever, like that Demas,
we, through love of this present world for
sake the course OK duty which Christ had
plainly pointed out to us. We deny our
Lord whenever we lend the sanction of our
countenance, our praise, or even our silence
to measures or opinions which may be pop
ular or fashionable, but which we ourselves
believe to be sinful in themselves or tend
ing to sin. We deny our Lord whenever
we forsake good man in affection, and
refuse to give countenance, encouragement
and support to those who, for Gods sake
and for the faithful discharge of their duty
are exposed to persecution and SANDER

Eve to Eve PREACHING,

1t is evident that in the first christian
ages what is now sermon was only talk
about matter of the directest interest and in
the directest way. This is true, too, about
the Reformation. All the sermons then
that went to the heart of the people from
men like Latimer were full of the plainest
possible talk, as of one plain man to anoth-
er. And these did but follow the great
models they found in the gospels and in
the prophets. five will 60 through these
books to get an idea Of the ancient preach
ing, think we shall be amazed at the way
those preachers of the old time contriYed
to bring their truth home. Everything
served their purpose, and they never beat
round the bush" to come at it. But
preaching now has got to be a fine art, and
has taken its place among the rest of the
fine arts. \ sermon must be about so long,
and so logical, and so good, and be written
down so that you never have to wait for q
word, or else it won't do. And it is posi-
Bile sometimes, feel sure, for written ser
mon to be better than one preached right
out of your heart and mind. There is 8
compactness and solidity to be attained in
that way you cannot come at otherwise
and l suppose men like DR.. Chalmers and
DR.. Dewey would preach better right along
from the manuscript than from the mind
and James Martineau could no more preach
without his manuscript than bird coulC
fly without wings, and one sermon like
those he breaches would weigh more alsC

Il hundred of the pulpit talks of some 9th
er men. But the popular heart still re
spends to the pulpit talk. Mr.. Spurgeor
has six thousand people to hear him. Mr.
Martineau perhaps seven score, and thinl

They do not want so much the fine gold o

A Western Miracle.

Out West, in WatertOwn, Wisconsin, the
Romish priests have been working big
miracle. A young man had been acting
queerly for sometime, and few weeks ago
a Catholic convocation was held at Water
town, attended by seven priests. Theyoung
man was taken to church, to test the mi
raculous power of the priestly body, and
have devils cast out'of him.
Thursday was set as day for the cast
ing out of the evil spirits. The church was
filled. The young man was Laid on the al
tar, appearing dead. The seven priests
surrounded him and began by sprinkling
him with holy water, amounting him with
oil, burning incense, laying hands upon
him, reading Latin prayers, and giving
him some lotion they had prepared. The
young man was put in different attitudes
before the picture of the Holy Virgin, with
similar exercises of sprinkling, burning in
cense, laying on of hands, &c. These exer-
cises were repeated at different times
throughout the day.
The Catholic brethren say the evilspirit
spoke out many times in strange tongues,
and especially in the "Irish and Latin
tongues" 1t was believed that four devils
were cast out on Thursday. On Friday
three more were said to have been expelled,
and on Saturday the last, more obdurate
than all, agreed to leave, if all the mem
bers would leave the church with him. All
but three acquiesced and the devil took
his departure, to the great joy and wonder
of the young man and the brethren. We
were panied to hear that another devil had
made his appearance week ago, and after
being cast out announced that there were
still four more remaining.

Twelve Rules for Church Members

l. To remember that we are all subject
to failings and infrmities of one kind or
another.
q To bear with, and not magnify each
others infrmities.
8. To pray for one another in our social
meetings, and particularly in private.
4. Always turn deaf ear to any SANDER
Gus report, and to lay no charge brought
against any person till well founded.
5. If member be in fault, to tell him of
it in private, before it is mentioned to 9TH
ers.
g. To watch against shyness to each
other, and put the best construction on any
action that has the appearance of opposi-
| ton or resentment.
7. To observe the just rule of Solomon,
that is, to leave off contention before it is
meddled with. Prov. II: A.
s. If a member has offended, to consider
how glorious, how God-like it is to forgive,
and how unlike christian it is to revenge

9. Remember that it is always grand
artifce of the devil to promote distance
and luminosity among members of church.

everything that furthers this end.
10. To consider how much more gooC
we can do in the world at large, when WI
are united in love, than we should do wher
acting alone, and irdnlging a contrary
spirit.
i II. To consider the express injunction
of Scripture and the beautiful example o
Christ as to these important things.
II. Above all, remember to love tn,

The Grip of Faith.

John Welsh, one of the early reformers
of Scotland, has given lively picture of
faith which may serve to encourage some
trembling believer.
at is not the quantity of thy faith that
shall save thee. A drop ofwater is as true
water as the whole ocean. So little faith
is as true faith as the greatest. A child
eight days old is as really man as one of
sixty years spark of fire is as true fire as
a great flame; sickly man is as truly liv-
ing as well man. So it is not the meas
ure of thy faith that saves thee; it is the
blood that it grips to, that saves thee; as
the weak hand of child that leads the
spoon to the mouth, will feed as well as
the strongest arm of a man; for it is not
the hand that feeds thee, albeit if it puts
the meat into thy mouth, but it is the meat
carried into thy stomach that feeds thee.
So, if thou canst grip Christ never so weak
ly, he will not let thee perish.
All that looked to the brazen serpent,
never so far off were healed of the sting of
the fiery serpent; yet all saw not alike
clearly, for some were near at hand, and
some were far off. Those that were near
at hand might see more clearly than those
that were far off; nevertheless those that
were far off, were as soon healed of the
sting of the serpent when they looked to
the serpent, as those that were near at
hand: for it was not their look that made
them whole, but he whom the serpent did
represent. So, if thou canst look to Christ
never so meanly, He can take away the
sting of thy conscience, if thou believest;
the weakest hand can take away gift as
we'll as the strongest. Now, Christ is the
gift, and weak faith may grip him as well
as strong faith; and Christ is as truly
thine, when thou hast weak faith, and
when thou hast come to these triumphant
joys through the strength of faith
