1t is said that when Marshal Duroc, an
infde, once told tough story to Napoleon,
expressing the opinion that it was true, the
Emperor said There are some men who
are capable OF believing everything but the
Bible" Who does not to-day see all around
him melancholy illustrations of this saying ?
There are thousands Of men among us who
strain out the most microscopic gnats Of
Scriptural marvel, yet swallow the hugest
camels Of protane history without qualm or
objection No juggleries of "spiritualism"
stagger their credulity but the miracles Of
the Bible are more than they can swallow.
On the other hand, there are over-credulous
people who are ready to believe any story or
statement, provided it supports what they
regard as orthodoxy. Motley tells us that

EVERY MANS LIFE A PLAN

There is a definite and proper end or issue,
for even mans existence an end, which to
the heart of God, is the good intended for
him, or for which he was intended that
which he is privileged to become, called to
become, ought to become, that which God
will assist him 10 become and which he can.
not miss, save by his own fault. Every hui
man soul has u complete and perfect plan,
cherished for il in the heart of God-a di-
vine biography marked out, which it enters
into life to live. This life, rightly unfolded,
will be complete aud beautiful whole, an
experience led on by God aud unfolded by
His secret nurture, as the trees and the
flowers by the secret nurture Of the world
drama cast in the mould Of perfect art,
with no part wanting divine study for
the man himself, and for others; a study
that shall forever unfold, 10 wondrous beau
ty the love and faithfulness Of God great
in its conception, great in the Divine skill
by which it Is shaped above all, great in
the momentous and glorious issues it pre-
pares What a thought IL this for the hui

add to life What Investigations does it
add to send us onward in everything that
constitutes our excellence We live in the
Divine thought We fill place in the
great everlasting plan OF Gods intelligence,
We never sink below his care, never drop
out Of his courses.
No room for discouraged or depressed
feeling, therefore, is left you. Enough that
you exist for purpose high enough to give
meaning to life, aud to support genuine
inspiration. II your sphere is outwardly
humble, if it even appears to be quite in-
significant, God understands it better than
you do, and it is part Of His wisdom to
bring out great sentiments in humble con-
ditons, great principles in works that are
outwardly trivial, great character under
great adycrsities aud heavy loads Of incum-

be those who walk in the deepest obscurity
and are even despised or quite overlooked
by man. Let it be enough that God is il

OPENING ADDRESS
or Hon. e. ID. Mason, before the VI. Dairy
mems Association, Jan. ~, 1874.

We live in AN age of great events and
rapid progress. The human spirit is restless,
and the human mind is active. Men are
pushing their researches in all directions
and extending the domains of science Tar
beyond the landmarks of the generation
that has just passed away. .H
Agriculture, MS well rs everything else,
feels the impulse that is pushing the world
onward aud upward. The desire for i'm
provement and progress has found its way
into the humblest corner OF the civilized
world, and the farmer is dreaming of i'm
proved processes, better returns for his Ia
Dor, and u more enjoyable condition of ex-
istence.
That his present condition is no better is
no special fault OF his. If he is not educat-
ed in better ways, it is because he did not
have proper opportunities when a~boy. His
educational advantages were iiuited. which
was no FAULT of his, but his misfortune.
Silence has Jagged behind. nhdi is only just
beginning to discover that L has It's greatest
mission to perform among the firmers and
toiIers generally. When science comes up

will not be slow in wheeling into line, and
making the earth blossom as the rose.
Our dairymen and farmers stand in need
OF better knowledge Of their CALLING The
object of this association q two-fold First,
to benefit the dairYmen directly, increase
the product of the dairy. and reDder the
returns for labor more remunerative. The
second object is to give the people . new
sense of the Importance and dignity OF ag.
nculture; to give them to understand
that it is the most dignihed pursuit that amy
man can follow. The object and aim Of
tins association is the development of the
leading industry Of the state-the dairy and
all industries connected Herewith. The
object is good one. Some may say thai
the intelligent dairyman has no need O
such an association. and IN = sense this may
| he true. But il must be understood that il
seeks not to direct, but TO cooperate witt
the efforts of dairymen for self-advanee-
ment. In the meetings of this association
the main object is to awaken Interest md
provoke discussion among the dairymer
themselves.
This leads to Improvement. The discus.
sion of dairy facts brings them home to IN,
mind far more forcibly than mere reading
Discussion will promote reading and rehec
ton. The subject matter will be thorough
ly digested and assimilated thus becoming
part of one. as bone and muscle by tho di
gestion and assimilation of food Paper
appertaning to the dairy are therefore no
enough, no matter how good In themselves
Reflective, intelligent discussion is inyalu
able.

The SYMPATHY OF CHRIST.

How little we know one another's bitter.
nesses,--how little we suspect the hour of
secret agony and cold struggle that every
earnest loving heart has to 60 through in
this most unlntelligble world Sometimes
it seems to me marvel how we can ever
smile again, so often does life seem to shriv-
ell into failure aud nothingness. The
worst feature of all suffering is its incom-
municable lonely sensation. To be where
we and those around us are living in two
different worlds of feeling, is tenfold more
intolerabe than to be where foreign lan-
guage, not one word OF which we understand,
is spoken all day long. Those have always
seemed to me words from the very brink Of
the infinite OF feeling: 1.-The heart know
eth its own bitterness, and stranger inter-
meddleth not therein" Sympathy from
man in the deepest sorrow is almost a mock
cry. None can feel it, and, certainly, none
can soothe it except the man Christ Jesus,
whose infinite bosom echoes back every
throb of yours. To my own heart, that
marvellous fact of God enduing himself
precious, aud the one | least could afford to
part with of all the invigorating doctrines
which everlasting truth contains, That
Christ feels noio what we feel,--a risen,
assembled Lord,-a that he can impart to
us in our fearful wrestlings all the blessed
ness of His sympathy, is truth which, to
my soul, stands almost without second
Next to that stand, the deep meaning Of
the cross, that we are perfected through
suffering. What worthy crown can any son
OF man wear upon this earth, except crown
Of thorns Sore struggle, darkness, lone
liness,-but with all that the true battle
of an earnest soul in its terrible struggle
into light and clearness up to God,-that
is your portion now. Aud, oh may God
stand by you. and teach you that Chris
tian's motto everywhere aud always is Vic
