Our Honor Our Own,

1t is in the incapacity of truly honora-
BILE man to be dishonored by another that
civilized mind sees the exquisite absurd
ity of what was called the code of honor.
1t put the best men at the mercy of the
worst. Here, for instance, was hulking
bully and dead shot, who took dislike to
some man infinitely his superior. He met
him at table and threw glass of wine in
his face, or he spat at him, or hepulled his
nose, and it was straightway held that the
honor of the assaulted man had been in
jured, and could only be repaired by CIV
ing the bully a chance to murder him and
ruin his family. Nothing more prepOster-
Gus is conceivable; and it was this silly
theory of honor that so long perplexed, and
to certain degree, still perplexes civiliza-
ton. Could drunken bully, or sober
bully, dishonor Sir Isaac Newton by pull
ing his nose? Would Mr.. Bryant be dis
honored if some one gave him the lie? 1t
is by lying that he would be dishonored,
not by somebody's saying that he lied. If,
therefore, every man be the guardian of
his honor, and that honor can be touched
only by himself, it is idle to speak of some
body else as dishonoring him. Somebody
else may exasperate him-may madden
him, by exciting his jealousy, as Iago mad
dened Othello-but somebody else cannot
dishonor him. and, in such cases as we are
considering, honor is always invoked, and
the injury to honor is deliberately alleged,
because it is universally felt that if jealousy
is to be allowed to shoot at discretion. there
will be a good deal more shooting than SC
ciety can safely tolerate.
The honor of marriage is mutual. Hus-
band and wife are alike bound by it. But
| the detection of either dishonors that one
only, and not the other. The other may
be sorely grieved and humiliated-may be
even excited by passion to what is called
frenzy. But that is the possible effect Of
all strong excitement, and tits not changed
in character because it is called the madness
of outraged honor. 1t is very possible thai
one man, under the same circumstances
would do what another does. A man O.
Othello's temperament would be affected a.
Othello was. But when public opinion
authorizes persons laboring under strons
excitement to shoot other people, it is onl,
necessary to establish strong excitement t.
justify shooting.-G. W. Curtis in Harper
Monthly.

knoweth that ye have Need.

Tod has PROMISED all through His Word
that they who trust in him shall not want
any good thing. The well beloved Son
fresh from the secrets of his presence, tells
us "your Heavenly Father knoweth we
have need of all these things" This can
not mean that he will give us coach and
four, and palace, or the place of Hannah
near the king, because we desire "these
things" and think we "need' them. But
1t seems to me we have positive assur-
ance that, if we trust his love, we shall not
be left to suffer for food and raiment con
venient for US. Our prayers are perhaps
not answered, often, just as we expected,
but we know they are answered. Wehave
a consciousness that an invisible intelli-
gence watches us, and loves us, and pro-
vides for us. And sometimes this very
consciousness is like the meat and drink
our Saviour bad by the well of Samaria,
refreshing and uplifting us so that the
pleasures of sense, and even the real needs
of the body are forgotten. But the body
is made with necessities, and our Heavenly
Father knows it. The promise is not 81
will give you some spiritual blessing in
place of food and raiment." He will feed
us as he feeds the sparrows, and clothe us
as he clothes the lilies, and surely that is
saying all we could ask To be clothed as
He clothes any howerwe see, to be fed with
food as satisfactory and abundant to our
wants, as are the little birds about our
paths--what could we ask more for our
bodies?
Of course we have artificial tastes which
God does not promise to gratisy; but |
think even here, his paternal heart would
meet us, his loving, bountiful hand would
pour out upon us all we desire, as a rich,
fond parent gives to beloved child, did
not the infniteness of wisdom interfere
with such prodigality. We want something
which he sees would wound or poison us
| otherwise we should have it.
Blind Ellen had nothing but an onion tC
eat. She did not ask for meat, which she
only tasted at Christmas; she did not ever
ask for loaf of barley bread; she asked
God to make the onion taste good to her
and he did. Others can testify that, miss
ing that to which they had become accus
toned in the way of luxury, the Lord mad
them perfectly contented without it.

Spuraeon on Communion.

In a sermon on the text, "These are they
who separate themselves" Jude Is, we find
a very strong expression for open commun-
ion. This, in the American edition, is one
of the mutilated sermons; but the English
edition, besides other pungent sentences,
contains the following:
'There is not christian beneath the
scope of Gods heavens from whom am
separated. At the Lords table, l always
invite all christians to come and sit down
and commune with US. If any man were
to tell me that | am separate from the Epis-
copalian, the Presbyterian, or the Metho-
dist, | would tell him that he did not know
me, for love them with pure heart fer
vently, and | am not separate from them.
This bears rather hard on our close COM
munion Baptists. | should not like to say
anything hard against them, for they are
about the best people in the world; but
they really do separate themselves from the
great body Of Christ's people. They sep
arate themselves from the great universal
church. They say they will not commune
with it; and if any one comes to their ia
BILE who has not been baptized, they turn
him away. The pulse of Christ is com
munion; and woe to the church that seeks
to cure the ills of Christ's church by stop
ping its pulse. / think it a sin to refuse
to commune with any one who is amembe
of the church of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Half Believers.

There are many such and this is every
way deplorable. 1t is to be deplored be-
cause half belief dishonors God. God so
loved the world that he gave his only be-
gotten and well beloved Son. There was
nothing half hearted in that. He gave his
choicest treasure. He meant to provide
eternal redemption for us. He did provide
it. He is able to save to the uttermost all
who come unto God by him. 1t cannot,
therefore, please him that you should take
up with anything less than full salvation,
immediate salvation. Be not deceived
| with any representation that full salvation
immediate salvation, is not for such an one
as you; that it were modesty in you to be
content that you shall bye-and-bye be
saved, when you become better than you
now are. 'This persuasion cometh not O

that labor and are heavy laden, and l viii

our sins, he is faithful and just to forgiv,
us our sins, and to cleanse us from al

Christ cleanseth from all sin. He say
that it does this; not that it will do it a
some future day. If you do not fully tax
him at his word, you are but half believ
er. Do not deceive yourself with the no
ton that it becomes you, conscious as yov
are that you are still very sinful, not to as
sure yourself of being received into full ia

Work and Greatness.

The great men of the world have been
workers. Demosthenes was an Athenian

of Philadelphia for work, with loaf Of
bread under bis arm, but kings sat at his
feet and listened to his words of wisdom

when or where he was born, or whether he
had any parents. Clay was the mill boy

Maxine Superior Butter.

1t is just as easy to make good, sweet.
clean butter as to make poor butter. The
best of butter is made from sweet cream
gathered as free from milk as possible. To
make good butter requires more than ordi-
nary care and attention. Everything
should move on with the regularity of the
sun. To make butter profitable, great care
must be exercised in milking the cows
To milk clean is important. 1t not only
adds to the quantity of butter, but saves
the COW from positive injury. Let a farm
er or his dairy get the name of keeping 8

he will find it not only to pay, but pay

Father, forgive-I have no plea,
But only ask, through matchless grace,
To know that Jesus died for me.
Alone he bore my load of sin,
While unseen angels round him bowed;

And only Stunned Him as He hung,

Alas! with grief my heart is wrung
To know He drank this cup for me!
For me to stOop TO shame and death,
For me to brave the widest storm.
To love me with his latest breath,
And dying, bless a sinful worm.

How to Keep Butter Sweet.

1t is the easiest thing in the world. Sim.
ply put it in clean jars, and cover with
strong brine. This will keep pure butter a
year, fresh and sweet, as we know by ex'
perience. 1t is almost equally good to put
in oak casks, headed tight. This is equiv,
alent to canning fruit. The brine, in case
of jars, acts as heading, keeping the all
out. But butter should be made we'll; we
have never experimental on poor butter
Work out the buttermilk till you have on
ly pure "beads," clear as rain water; bu
do not work so much as to break the grain
in which case you have tough, heavy ar
ticle in winter, and grease in SUMMER
Such butter we advise no one to try to pre-
| serve.

Church and State

Rev. NJ. de Pressense of Paris, in recent
address on Liberty of Conscience, said:
What was it, gentlemen, that put an end
to the absolute power of the State in mat
tiers of religion? One day, in an obscure
corner of the world, the representative of
the most thorough despotism that ever ex-
listed was sitting in his pictorial chair
There appeared before him singular pris
oner, whose words to him were, 81 am
King, you are a klng-a king without
kingdom. Where is your army? You have
not even your wretched disciples to keep
you company. My kingdom is not of this
world" These words, gentlemen, begat
freedom for the soul, for they opened up to
it domain over which the State has no
power. Hence it follows that man does not
wholly belong to the State; the noblest
part of his being escapes from its control.
Thus the moral royalty of truth was found
ed the purple of that royalty, gentlemen,
was dyed with blood, and its crown was
one of thorns, for the Divine prisoner
was soon subjected to punishment. He
died on gibbet. Nevertheless, this glib
bet marks the boundary between two
worlds. 1t is the cross of Christ
My hopes are great, because if there is one
article more than another inscribed in the
programme of all true Liberals, it is the
total suppression of concordats and of ev-
erything having any resemblance to a un-
ion between church and State. What pro-
gress we have made during the last twenty
| years When the revolution of 1913 came
about it opened what Virgil calls the ivory
gate-the gate Of dreams. Every one brot'
his dream, and continued it wide awake
At that period the separation of the church
and State was regarded as chimerical. My
friends and myself went up to NJ. de Lam
airline. These were his words on this great
question, of which he was both the prophe
and apostle, 81 would rather be slave fol
twenty years than to feel that God Himsel
is enslaved in the human conscience. -
The words of poet, it will be said No
gentlemen, it was the prose of the morrow
or rather, it is the prose of yesterday. Hav
we not seen great church, the Establish
ed Church of Ireland, disappear, thanks t
the work of reparation wrought by Glad
stone? 1t heads the funeral procession, no
: of all religions, but of official religions.

Death to Buos,

A correspondent sends the following rec
ipe, which he has successfully used for
years. 1t is certainly worth trying:
Bugs on squash and cucumber vines
how to destroy them-dissolve table
spoonful of saltpetre in pailful of water,
put one pint of this around each hill, shap-
ing the earth so that it will not spread
much, and the thing is done. Use more
saltpetre ifyou can afford tit is good
for vegetable, but death to animal, life.
The bugs burrow in the earth at night, and
fail to rise in the morning. 1t is also good
to kill the grub in peach trees, only use
twice as much, say quart or two to each
tree. There was not yellow or blistered
leaf on twelve OF fifteen trees to which ii
was applied last season. No danger OF
killing any vegetable with it. A concentra.
ted solution applied to youngbeans made
them grow wonderfully.
