CUcUMBERs ON TRELLIsEs. we
20 we see the cucumber in the open air suffer
ed to run on the ground. This is, no doubt,
a relic of European culture. There it is ne.
cessary. The climate is not hot enough, and
the plants have to be started, if not grown
altogether in low fiat glass frames. But
where the cumber grows wild, it spreads over
bushes and trees, and the growth and product
is enormous. All plants with tendrils prefer
to ramble in this way. The grape vine, it is
we'll known, seems fairly to rejoice when it
can find large mass of twiggy brush to ram
BILE over as it wills and so does the cucumber.
No one who has not tried can have any idea
of the luxurious growth of a cucumber when
trained to stake which has set of stubby
side branches left along its length. Some
which the writer saw might be taken at dis
-tance for some vigorous kind of ornamental
gourd-and the crop was enormous. A great
advantage in this style of culture is that the
plants occupy far less ground than when per.
mitted to spread over the surface in the usual
way. This is great gain to small gardens
and to large ones for that matter, for if we
have land enough and to spare, few of US have
time to waste in preparing more of it than is
necessary to the perfection of a crop.-Gard'
ner's Monthly.

FARMING.

In no pursuit is there broader or better
field for an enterprising man, than in agricul-
ture. In other business pursuits we see men
of enterprise meeting with great success and
great reverses. The most of our successful
business men have had, at some period in their
lives, failures. And not one successful busl-
ness man retires with competence, when
fifty have fallen by the wayside. Indeed,
the pathway of our commercial men is all
along whitened by the tombstones of men
who have fallen in the march to commercial
fame and fortune.
But in agricultural pursuits there is no ne
cessity for such failures The pursuit is a
more stable one. The great financial convul-
sions that wreck the fortunes of so many men
engaged in commercial pursuits, pass over the
heads of farmers and leave them compara-
lively unbarmed. 1t is true they lower the
prices of their products, but they do not ruth.
lessly destroy the value of everything, and
leave farmers financially stranded. They
have only to "pick their fints'' and try again.
The field for enterprise has greatly enlarged
for the farmer within the last few years. by
the introduction of improved implements and
machines, the farmer can usually do ten times
the amount of business he did few years
ago. If his judgment is good, he can sue
cessfully manage large farms and derive as
large and more certain incomes than business
men in many other pursuits
If he turns his attention to stock he can
keep vast herds. If to the improved breeds,
high prices can be obtained proportionate to
their high breeding and value.
But farmers, like other business men, should
keep their accounts accurately, to be perma,
nentiy successful. They should keep an &C.
count with each crop, charging it its actual
cost and crediting it with what it brings in
market-to see whether it pays, and how
much it pay, and which crop pays best. We
need more farmers of enterprise; more and
better business men on the farm, for it will be
found that brains pay as we'll there as any
where.-New South.

whom the power has been bestowed.
A number Of words and phrases are used
in the Scriptures to explain or illustrate what
is meant by faith. TO believe in Christ, is to
accept him as saviour; to conGde in him as
saviour; to trust in him as saviour; to
rest on him for salvation to take him as the
portion of our souls and many other similar
and easily understood expressions.
1t should be remembered that the object Of
faith, is Christ Jesus, as he is revealed to US
in the Scriptures. 1t is not trusting in God
az revealed to US in creation or providence,
but trusting in God, our saviour or redeemer,
as revealed to US in the Bible. In neither
creation nor providence, ia God revealed to
US as a redeemer. In the Scriptures he is re-
vealed to US as God Of creation, providence
and grace Hence, without knowledge of
God as he is revealed to US in the Bible, there
can be no saving faith.
In his goodness and mercy, God has given
to us in the Bible complete revelation of the
whole scheme of redemption. The Holy
Spirit quickens the soul dead in tresspasses
and sins, and enlghtens the mind that it may
see its lost condition and the way of recovery
provided by the Son of God. Accepting of
this plan of recovery is believing; neglecting
or rejecting it is unbelief. He that believeth
shall be saved, whilst he that believeth not,
being already condemned, will ultimately be
eternally lost
The simple fact that faith is absolutely ne
cessary to salvation, should act as an incen-
tive to all to believe in Christ. "Come to
me-" is the invitation which is made by him
who died to save sinners "Whosoever COM
eth to me, I will in no wise cast out" is the
gracious encouragement which is given to all
to come. There is not one single member Of
Adams race, dead or alive who can say, IL
went to Jesus and he thrust me away from
him." On the contrary, the charge which Je'
sus brings against unbelievers is. "ye willsnot
come to me that ye may have life" Coming
to Jesus and believing in Jesus, are the same
thing. .-.:.~i L.

The SufHciency Of God.

On Sunday morning last Rev. A. F. Mason,
pastor Of the Calvary Baptist church, preached
from the text-Corinthians ii:5-"Sot that we are
sufficient of ourselves to think anything rs of our
selves, but our sufciency Is Of God" The discourse
was replete with thought and eloquent In express
sion. The theme was the suflcency Of God in the
material, physical and intellectual world and the
argument WAS arranged tn show that orn,potcnt
power s not only essential but sufficient to perfec-
tion and harmony In creation, and the mental and
moral development Of man. Being blinded by sin.
the spirit of God alone Is sufficient 10 open his
moral vision, that he may discover his own un-
clesnness and lead him TO life Of repentance and
Righteousness.
