Our Lords Life Life Of Health.

IT was life of health Among its
many sorrows and trials, sickness alone
was absent. We hear of His healing null
titudes of the sick-we never hear that he
was sick Himself. 1t is true that the
golden Passional of the Book of Isaiah
says of Him: Surely He hath borne our
griefs and carried our sorrows; vet we did
not esteem him stricken, smitten of God,
and afflicted. But He was wounded for
our transgressions He was bruised for
our iniquities; the chastiscment of our
peace was upon Him, and with His stripes
we are healed" but the best explana-
ton of that passage has been already sup
piled from st. Matthew, that He suffered
with these whom He saw suffer. He was
touched with feeling of our inflrmities {;
His divine sympathy made those suffer
ings His own. Certain it is that the
story of His life and death shows excep-
tional powers of physical endurance. No
one who was not endowed with perfect
health could have stood out against the
incessant and wearing demands of such
daily life as the Gospel describes. Above
all, lie seems to have possessed that
blessing of ready sleep which is the best
antidote to fatigue, anG the best influence

boat, as it was tossed ON the stormy sea,
He could sleep, with no better pillow than
the hard, leather covered boss that served
as the steersman's cushion. And often in
those nights spent under the starry skies,
in the wilderness and on the mountain-top,
He can have had no softer resting place
than the grassy turf, no other covering
than the tallsth, or perhaps some striped
abba. such as often forms the sole bed of
the Arab at the present day. And we
shall see In the last sad scene how the

durance. even afler all that He had under

Horse Feed.

Every good groom knows that sound
oats and beans and pease, in due proper
ton and at least year old, are the very
best food for galloping horse--the only
food on which it is possible to get the very
best condition out of a race-horse or u
hunter. 1t also has recently become
known that horses do slow work and get
fat-indeed, too fat-on maize Indian
CORN, whichis frequently one third cheap
er than the best oats. In the East,
horses are fed on barley, and it is a popu-
lar idea with English officers who have
lived in Persia and Syria, that the change
of food from barley to oats, often, when
imported, produces blindness in Arabian
horses. Now, although n0 men under
stand better, or so well, how to get Blood
horses into galloping condition as English
grooms, they do not, and few of their mas
tiers do, know the reason why oats and
beans are the best food for putting muscu-
lar flesh on a horse. The agricultural
chemist steps in here, makes the matter
very plain, and shows that, if you want
pace, Indian corn, though nominally
cheaper, is not cheap atall. When we f ed
a bullock, sheep, or pig for sale, after
1t has passed the store stage, we want to
make 1t fat as quickly and as cheaply as
possible. But with horse for work, the
object is, give him muscle-in common
language, hard flesh. There are times
when it is profitable to make horse fat
as, for instance, when he is going up for
sale. For this purpose an addition of
about pound and half of oil-cake to his
ordinary food has good effect. 1t is es-
pecially useful when the horse that has
been closely clipped or singed is in low
condition. 1t helps on the change to the
new coat by making him fat. A horse
in low condition changes his coat very
slowly.
When from any cause there is difficulty
in getting a supply of the best oats, an ex-
cellent mixture may be made of crushed
maize and beans, in the proportion of two
thirds maize and one of beans, which cx-
actly afford the proportions of flesh form
ing and fatforming food. Bran is very
valuable food in stable, for reducing the
inhammatory effect of oats and beans.
Made into mashes, it has cooling and
laxative effect; but used in excess,
especially in dry state, it is apt to form
stony secretions in the bowels of the
horse. Stones produced from the Excess
sive use of bran have been taken out of
horses after death, weighing many pounds.

Sunday.Sch0ol Lessons.
True Worship.

TRUE worship is something universal.
II is to be in everything. 1t is for all
times and all spots. "Ine hour cOmeth
when We shall neither in this mountain,
nor vet at Jerusalem, worship the Father"
were our Lords words to the Samaritan
woman. Jew and Samaritan had been
fighting about places for worship. Jesus
con es to say, neither this place nor that
place-but all places for it.
We are all of us more Jewish or Samar-
itan than we think. We are all of us
rearing our Jerusalems or clinging to our
Gerizims. We are all of US sectionalizing
religion-gathcring it to special places,
special times, special things; calling these
sacred-those profane.
There was an old man in New England
who combined the occupation of farmer,
horse dealer and c0lporteur. In his
" works of mercy" as he called them, he
distributed tracts gratuitously, sold Bibles
and other religious books at cost to those
who could pay for them, gave them away
to those who could not. But" said the
old man-not fiippantly, as it might seem,
but earnestly" when start on work OF
mercy and stop to deal in horses never
have good luck; the fact is, don't want
the Lord around when I'm trading horses. !"
There it is. The tract and Bible distribu-
ton was that mans Gerizim or Jerusa-
lem, but worship held simply there would
not prevent him from being over sharp in
a bargain when horses were in question.
That is sectionalizing religion, piling up
Gerizims and building Jerusalems for it !;
forgetting its universally.
There was lettering cOlOred man who
gained his living by cobbling shoes. He
was not elegant. He was not deft-handed.
But he was thorough. Said one to him,
" My friend, after this cobbling on earth
is done, how about the other world 2"
"Ah, master" he answered, 81 am moth
ing, as l told you, but poor cobbler; but
I feel, when l sit here, that the Good Mas
ter is looking at me, and when take a
stitch it is stitch, and when / put on a
heel-tap it is not paper but good leather. -
That is the true and Christian idea as
over against the Jewish and Samaritan.
Religion not in Jerusalem or Gerizlm
only, but religion in everything. Wor-
ship not only in special places and about
special things, but worship in all places
and about all things. True worship is
neither in this mountain nor in that, but
is in this and that and all others. 1t is an
atmosphere in which the whole life is to
breathe and live and be carried on. 1t
has to do with Saturday as well as Sun
day; with the bargain as we'll as with the
prayer; with the table # the daily bread
as with the table of the Lord.
They say that two millions tons of the
purest silver are held in solution by the
sea, enriching each drop of its waters. 1t
is thus that pure worship is to interpen-
citrate the life, touching and clarifying its
shyest thought, its most common action.
True worship is for Jerusalem, and for
Gerizim, and for Nazareth, too. 1t is for
church and street. 1t is for sacrament
and for daily service of the store, or shop,
or school, or home Wayland Hoyt, in
