The ~ of Love.

The Christian law is the law of love.
Whoever puts the rules Of art above the
law Of love is a Pagan, He who habi.
tually seeks to crafty his own tastes,
rather than to do good to all men as he
has opportunity, is not a Christian but
a Pagan. The church that, in all its
appointments and provisions for worship,
and in the development of its social life,
practically seeks aesthetic qualification
more than the helpful service Of the poor
and the ignorant who dwell within the
site Of its spite or the sound Of its bell,
il not a true church of Christ. No mats
ter how orthodox may be the doctrines
taught from its pulpit; no matter how
liberal may be the gifts OF the members
to missions in Africa no matter how
numerous may be the converts that flock
to its altar il the practical relation OF
the church to the people in its neighbor-
hood who most need the Gospel is one OF
isolation rather than OF sympathy if the
prevalent sentiment Of the church leads
its members to ignore their poor neigh
bors, and to associate only with persons
of culture-pleasing themselves in their
social life instead OF bearing the in6rm.
tiles of the weak-then the religion OF
this church is Paganism, and it has no
right to the Christian name,
We do not say that most of the
churches OF Christ in this country are
essentially Pagan. The contrary is true.
Most OF them, we believe, remember
who Christ was, and what the law of His
kingdom is. But a great many Of them
are wholly given vel to this false
religion and there are strong elements
in many others that tend the same way
And the dangers that threaten eul
churches from this quarter are much
more serious than those which grow GU
of new interpretations of doctrine. Fol-
a man who sets aside and condemns thu
fundamental law of Christ's religion; To-
a church that processes to own Him anC

with whom He hiss 20 solemnly identified
himself in the twenty-ffth chapter 0
Matthew, some sOlicitude may we'll b

SOUTHERN HOME AND Farm.


Manuring corn in the hill has the
effect on moor soil Of pushing the crop
forward ia the start. Hog manune in
particular will do this, The effect is
quite wonderful. init it gradually dis
appears, and in the fall, when the crop is
gathered, little IL any difference is seen
between the manured snd unmanured
land. 1t is a permanent impression that
is wanted, and this will be the better
secured by applying the anu broad

when it is considered that the roots OF
