Sermons in COaI.

Some few years ago. two or three gentle
men went from London to Birmingham
to deliver course of lectures ON Intdel-
ity, and to prove that men were better
without religion than with it. Amongst
the rest of the workingmen that went 10
hear them were two miners, who were
members OF the Wesleyan Society, and
very regular in their attendance at the
chapel services and meetings. Having
listened attentively to the arguments of
the lecturers, these two men came to the
conclusion that what the gentlemen said
was very true, and both of them agreed to
give up religion and have no more to do
with it,. About twelve months afterward
another course of lectures on the same sub
ject was announced at the same place, but
this time only one of these two men put in
an appearance. At the close of the first
lecture, this man stepped up to the lect-
urer and asked him if he could have a
word with him. He replied;st Certainly
The man said: You Iemen Der, sir, COM
ing down here twelve months ago, and

replied: Perfectly "Well, SIR" said
the man, .Jem and me, that was my
mate, came to hear you, and we thought
that what you said was very true, so we
both gave upreligion.' p I" Good "replied
the lecturers =" l am very pleased to hear
il; and you felt very much better, did you
not" Well, sir,ns said the man, " Just
hold hard a bit, and let me have my say
out. We got on all vefy well until about
six months ago, when Jem and me was
working togetherin, the mine, blasting the
coal, when "a great lump of coal of about
half ton weight fell on Jem, on the lower
part OF his body, and crushed him; and
what do you think he began to cry out
when the lump Of coal was on him ~ g
don't know, Z" replied the lecturer Why,

International Sunday School Lessons.
Pay the Preacher.


In many churches in Iowa that period
of the year is near at hand when it is
customary to make the annual settlement
with the pastor of the church, and in many
instances make appointments and changes
for the coming year. The condition of
secular affairs always affects the pecuniary
interests of churches and schools to a
greater or less degree. s. Business is bust
ness" in the management of churches,
schools and benevolent organizations, as
well as in the ordinary channels of trade
and commerce. The country has been
passing through perilous times, and the
past year, especially, has been one that
has borne down heavily upon all kinds of
voluntary organizations, especially those
of religious character. But the laborer
is worthy of his hire" as much in hard
times as well as in prosperous times, and
there's as great necessity for rescuing hu-
manity from evil tendencies and evil hab-
its, and lifting men to a higher plane of
moral well-being now as at any other
period. The times are hard, and many
people make it a point to begin economy
by cutting down the spiritual supplies
while continuing to keep the body COM
fortably covered and well fed. This is
not right. 1t is unjust to the individual
as well as the public welfare. Morality is
a matter of public concern. Men who are
not church-men admit this and are
avowedly in favor of religion and morality,
although not personally identified with
any religious organizations. Take away
all religious influences from community
and what would become of enlightened
government? 1t would rapidly disinte-

Water-Gates.

A stream of water running through
farm has be th its advantages and disad-
vantages, but when properly managed the
former largely predominates. The valley
through which creek runs is always fer
tile. The soil, supplied with moisture
from the stream, yields bountiful crops
of grass or grain, and the pasture it af-
fords frequently carries the stock through
dry summer when owners of neighbor-
ing uplands are compelled to resort to
soiling crops or even dry feed. The dis-.
advantages are, interference with regular
ity of fields, necessity of water gates,
freshets which sweep away fences and
wash away good soil, with others that at
tend particular localities and conditions.
We intend now to speak only Of the sec
ond disadvantage named, and make some
suggestions about meeting it.
The water gates one sees in passing
through the country are generally mere
make-shitts, patched up to serve a present
purpose. and swept away or rendered USE
less by the first freshet. This is what
makes the beneticent stream only source
of annoyance to some farmers, who have
to repair water gates and fences after
every little freshet. If the job was done
well at first, very little trouble would &C.
cur afterward. An ordinary rail or board
fence has no business where lands are
frequently subject to overflow, but series
of'water- gates should take its place. We
recently saw five of these gates in one
series, that had stood, with very little re-
pair, for nearly ten years. Heavy forks
were set into the ground twenty five feet
apart, supporting poles from which de-
pended the gates. These we're made of
inch boards, five inches wide, held to-
gether with hooks and eyes, and these
were connected to the supporting pole in
the same manner. Such gate is pliable,
and adapts itself to the situation. A light
ffesbet would lift and float the lower
board only, while a heavier freshet would
float two, three, or all the boards. We
have seen the same kind of gate held to-
gether with light chains screwed fast to
the boards. but the hooks and eyes are
cheaper and just as good. Two staples
connected by link or two would answer
the same purpose. The cost of gate,
aside from the forks and pole, need net
exceed one dollar, and when once made
will last a lifetime, if kept well painted
