SEVENTH AVENUE METHODIST EPISCOPAL
CHURCH


Sermon by DIR. Wild on tho Comm nists
and Practical Honesty.
DR.. Wild, OF the Methodist Episcopal church,
Seventh avenue, Brooklyn, was earnest In his de-
nunciation of dishonesty yesterday morning. His
text was from II. Corinthians, viii, 2l-"Provldng
for honest things, not only in the sight OF the
Lord, but also in the sight OF men," Arguing from
the standpoint OF spiritual and temporal attain
ments, the Doctor proceeded to say that no spir-
itual attainments however perfect in this life,
could free US from material Obligations. He had
but little sympathy in common with those zealOts
OF our Gay who, ike the Gnostics OF old. make
their religion SO ethereal as to he unmaterai; so
spiritual not to be practicable SO abstract as TO
be mere negation OF the present life, with Its
positive duties and actual labors.
True inspiration not only forbade evIl but COM
manded good. We could allow OF Quakerism in
quality, but not in quantity. 1t was well enough
for quaker to pray in heart and to take the sac
rament in spirit, but he could not perform the
actual duties between man and man by mere feel
ing. It was not enough TO feel benevolent to the
poor outcast. 1t would neither clothc nor feed

munlsts DR.. Wild thought they erred and were

which he took to attain 1t were destructible, both

SEVENTEENTH STREET BAPTIsTs CHURCH,
The Blessings OF Revivals-Sermon by
Rev. William Harris.

Rev. william Harris, ID. D., OF London England,
preached last night in the seventeenth street
Baptist church. near Sixth avenue. he said this
was good opportunity for him TO speak, and he
would take for his text the sixth verse OF the
Eighty-sixtn Psalm-"Wllt thou not revive as

consequences OF REVEALS The man who wrote
this psalm was looking for salvation, but had
left no name with which they might
bless him. HIS memory and character lived
in this psalm. 'rrhou hast forgiven thy people !;
thou hast forgiven their SINS" Some people
thought this was a new sentiment; but they could
already find 1t In the Bible, long before Wesley or
Luther. God had indicated to them that Tie lived
In them through His operations upon their heart.
The psalm seemed to say, "Lord, make perfect
and complete change in US; let us not be like our
foreIathers, but make an end of sin.n He, the
author, asked "Wilt thou not revive us again, so

25 says: From all parts of the State we
hear that the present wheat crop will be the
largest for years, and that the yield will be
abundant This is certainly good news, and
shows that our people have indeed determined
to raise something besides cotton. Now let
our planters put in good crops of corn and cul-
tivate them well, then put in sweet potatoes
and field peas enough to supply themselves
and stock, and when next winter comes we
will see fewer wagons hauling corn to the
plantations to feed upon and less money will
be taken West for grain"

ably aid him to grasp with tirmer hand
the government of Spain. 1t is quite con-

adopted expand the currency largely. 1t
provides that new banks may be organ

less quantity of national bank capital in
proportion to wealth and population than
the State of New York, until each shall
have attained that average amount; but
that for every million of new bank paper
thus issued shall be retired seventy per
cent. of the said amount of greenbacks,
the greenbacks to be thus retired TO be
procured, if necessary, by the sale of
bonds, until the total amount of green

carried fully into effect, in the retirement
of 49,, 100000 of greenbacks, and the
issue of about $l17 900, 900 of bank cur

public. particularly to that very large
class of people who are engaged in farm
ing The report of the New Jersey State
society has just been issued. From it we
learn that there are in New Jersey $685.
5l1 acres, all told in farms. "Of these"
says the report, "there are ,976, 474 acres
in improved land, 1885 covered with
wood and other unmproved 205, 702 acres
From these figures it will be seen that
the percentage of improved land is in
round numbers &C per cent, and the total
value OF farming land in the State amounts
to the large sum of $257 ,523,37 Although
having a much smaller area than many of
her sister States, still the advantages of
good home markets has had marked
effect in our agricultural interests, and
there has been, in consequence, steady
rise in valuation from year to year until
now. when the valuation of our farming
land is placed at SS6.l4 an acre, which is
much higher than any other State in the
Union. The value of improved farm i'm
plements used in our State sums up to the
amount of $7,SS7 1891. giving for each
acre of improved farming land $500 in
labor saving tools, which again places
New Jersey at the head of the list Of States
in this respect The State Agricultural!
Society has had great deal to do in pop
ularizing the use of the improved farm
implements in farm economy in our State.
For every acre of farm land in the State
we find return of Sl4. 30. and calculating
on the basis of improved land, this sum is
increased to S2l.6l, showing that it will
bear comparison very favorably with that
of any other State. In ratio as the popu-
lation increases the average size of the
farms must diminish then will come a
higher state Of cultivation; more manure
applied and more labor expended to each
acre and consequently largely increased
average product per acre.
In 1850 the whole number of farms In
the State was 23.905. In 1860 the number
had increased to q ,646 and in 1870 to 3d.
653. making a total increase in twenty
wears Of 6.s47. The average size of farms
during the corresponding period has de-
creased from 10 acres to 80 acres. The
number of houses to one hundred inhabi-
tants has decreased within the last decade
from II TO 8; number of milch cows from
20 TO ID; bushels of corn from | ,446 to
965; number of tons of hay from 757 to
$40. From careful comparisons made be-
tween the grain crops of New Jersey and
those of Central Illinois and Kansas. the
report concludes that grain culture is more
profitable in New Jersey than in those
States. owing to the long distances from
markets and the high rates of railroad
freights that the farmers of the allowed
named States have TO reduce their rates.

Cleaning Rusty PlOws.

The following is said to be an cfiica-
cious method of cleaning rusty plows !:
Take a quart of water and pour slow
" into it a pint of sulphuric acid. (The
mixture will become quite warm from
chemical action, and this is the reason
why the acid thould be poured slowly
into the water. rather than the water
into the acid Wash the mold board,
or any other iron that is rusty, with
this weak acid. and let it remain on
the iron until it evaporates, and then
wash il again. The object is to give
time for the acid to dissolve the rust.
Then wash with water, and You can
see where the worst rusty spots are.
Apply some more acid and rub those
rusty spots with brick. The acid and
the securing will remove most of the
rust. Then wash the mold-board thor
oughly with water to remove all the
acid, and rub it dry. Brush it over
with petroleum or other oil, and let 1t
be until spriug. When You go to pillow
take bottle of acid 10 the field and APP
PLY i. every bout TO any spots that may
remain. The acid and the securing OF
the earth will soon make il bright and
smooth. If all iron work be washed
over with petroleum as soen as we put
our tools, implements and machines
aside for winter, it will keep them from
rustinw, and save gread deal oil
trouble and annoyance, to say nothing
of depreciation and loss.
