Glazed Pots for Plants.

Whether glazed or unglazed pots are
best for house plants has been matter of
dispute, the weight of authority being
in favor of the latter. The fact is that
both sides are right as it depends much
upon circumstances whether plants will
do best in one or the other. The fol-
lowing note ON the subject in a recent
number of Vick's Monthly Magazine,
partially explains why no invariable
rule can be laid down for all cases =
''Glazed pots for plants are condemn
ed by most writers. The majority of
these writers are greenhouse men, or
those with but little experience with
growing plants in the dry air of our
parlors and living rooms. In a green
house the air contains much more mOis-
ture than our living rooms; and in wat
tering, those in glazed pots would nat
urally receive the same supply as others
in common porous pots alongside.
The evaporation from the porous pots
would take place much more rapidly
than from the glazed, and the one
would be comparatively dry, while the
other would still be wet. The next
watering repeats this process, and the
result is quickly seen. The plant in the
glazed pot perishes at once or drags out
a sickly, miserable existance. Glazed
pots can be used with good result in the
parlor or living room. If the drainage
is good, so that the surplus water can
pass off, there are many plants that will
grow well in them.n
To this it may be added that many
people are very irregular in watering
house-plants. They forgot to attend to
Il until the dry and parched appearance
of the earth admOnishes them to their
neglect. OF course the plant in the un-
glazed pot suffers worst under this treat
ment, for the earth gets dry from top To
bottom while in the glazed pots the

and the Christian religion, of course, is,
a delusion.
These conclusions seem to be the best
that science can give US. Science be-
lieves nothing that it cannot prove.
There may be personal God who takes
cognizance of the personal affairs of
men, but science cannot prove it /; there
fore belief in a personal God is Gun
scientific" There may be such a thing
as the human soul-a spirit that has a
life, or the possibilities of life, indie
pendent of the body; but it cannot be
proved. Indeed, it seems to be proved
that all the phenomena of what we call
mind are attributable to changes that
take place among the molecules of the
brain. Therefore, belief in the human
soul is unscientifc. Of course, if there
is no human soul, there is nothing to
save. and if there is nothing to save,
Christ was, consciously or unconscious
ly an impostor; and the hope and expec-
tatiOns of all ChristendOm are vain.
And this is the highest conclusion to
which science seems to be able to lead
us. Can anything be imagined to be
more lame and impotent We should
think that every labratory and every
scientific school, and every library and
study of man of science would seem
like tomb
That this attitude of prominent men
of science toward the great questions
that relate to God, immortality, the ma
ture of the human soul aud the Chris
tan religion, has sadly shaken the faith
of a great multitude, there is no doubt.
Society is honey -combed with infidelity
Men stagger in their pulpits with their
burdens of difficulties and doubts. The
theological seminaries have become
shaky places, and faith has taken its
flight from an uncounted number of
souls, leaving them in darkness and
sadness that no words can describe. All
this is true. 1t is so true that tears may
well mingle in ones ink as he writes it
bat, after all, we have everything left
that we have ever possessed. Nothing
is proved against onr faith. Science has
never proved that there is no personal
God, no soul, no Immortality, no Christ,
and these are matters we have always
taken on faith. Not only this, but they
are matters which science is utterly in
competent to handle. They are outside
of the domain of science. Science can
no more touch them than it can touch
anything that it confesses to be "un-
knowable."-J. G. Holland ScribRer

"I'm Disappointed. "
BY JAMES WILLIAM KIMBALL

BY JAMES WILLIAM KIMBALL.
You are-are you? Well that's not
strange most people are disappointed.
But what is your particular disappOint-
ment?
'If there he a God, and if he really
cares for me, as piOus people pretend,
why don't he answer my prayers? Eve
tried him more than once he don't
answer my prayers. If he wants me to
believe in him, he's bound to show
cause"
How long have you INDUCED this sage
conclusion?
"Well, off and on may say | al
ways have"
Exactly off and on that is occa-
sionally you have half believed in him !;
and then again you haven't. Suppose
you were subject of one of the Kings
or Queens across the water; and that
you were summoned to present your
self at court. You present yourself at
the palace, but not i'll the prescribed
dress. You are told by the proper off
.cial that your dIess is inadmissable.
You quarrel with both messenger and
message; you doubt both servant and
sovereign you declare that if there be
Il sONtIcl8I, ut Is uOuuu W DltStIl anu
prove himself to be such. You decline
to believe that he would issue any man
date touching your dress. But that
there are sOvereigns, and that they do
so prescribe, is too well known to be
denied. And any man who should pre-
sist in taking your ground, would in
evitably be deemed of unsOund mind,
or dealt with as rebeliOus subject
The sound minded and the loyal would
combine to give judgment against you.
You cannot prescribe to the sovereign !;
it is his prerogative to prescribe to you.
Especially if you desire favor, must
you conform to the usages of the King.
To this all mankind will say, Amen.
Now the King of kings has his meth
ODDS, founded withal in eternal reason !;
so if you want anything of him, you
must come to him in his way. That
way he has infinitely described: "Jesus
called little child unto him, and said,
Verify l say unto you, except We be con-
verted, and become as little children,
We shall not enter into the kingdom of
heaven" The Kingdom of heaven here
means, realised relations to your God.
If you assume to prescribe to God, you
need not wonder that he turns Il deaf
ear to your prayer. "The meek will he
guide in judgment. Though the Lord
be high yet hath he respect unto the
lowly." Can you name any good reason
why God should make an exception in
your case? OF his own Son it is record
ed: Though he were son, yet learn
ed he obedience the dOcile spirit by
the things which he SUFFERED
There is a suffering in waiting a suf-
fering in disappointed expectation a
salutary suffering. From it you have
something to learn. To learn something
is far more and nobler than merely to
receive something. You have to learn
to wait upon the Lord, and to wait ex-
pecting, even though your desire be de-
ferred. You have to learn faith aud
faith is not learned from sight you
have to learn that God has not only a
time, but best time not only way,
but best way. Therefore ] say, aud
he SAYS: wait on the Lord :" and il
he tarry, still wait ON the Lord aud
learn with job To declare Though He
slay me, set will ! trust In him. Con

''Only."

"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of t
least of these Ny brethren, ye have done it IN
Me."-MATT. 25: 40.
Only word for the Master,
Lovingly, quietly said,
Only word!
Yet the Master heard
And some fainting hearts were fed.
Only a look of remOnstrance,
SOrrowful. gentle, and deep,
Only lOokl
Yet the strong man shook,
And he went alone to weep.
Only some act of devotion,
Willingly, ioyfully done;
Surely twas naught,"
$50 the proud world thought)
But yet souls for Christ were won.
Only an hour with the children,
Pleasantly, cheerfully given;
Yet seed was sOwn
In that hour alone.
Which would bring forth fruit for heaven.
"Only''-but Jesus is looking
Constantly, tenderly down
To earth, and sees
Those who strive to please,
And their love He loves to crown.
