SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON.
Sunday May 4th. Isaiah SIS liz.

THE SUFFERING SAvIoUR.-Golden
Text: Who in his own self bore our sins
in his own body on the tree, l Peter o.
"a.
OF the whole prophecy of Isaiah, no
portion is more vital and important than
the text of the present lesson. The
prophet in his forecast Of the future
beheld the Messiah, and in his descrip-
tons of the character, the life and the
death of Jesus, he gives such an accurate
account that no one can fail to see the
exact and literal likeness. This proph-
ecy was very important in the contro-
versy with the Jews and the disciples of
Christ, in regard to the Messiahship.
The Jews previous to the time of Christ,
never doubted that the prophecy referred
to the Messiah but when the lowly Jesus
came, born of poor parents, graded in
a maDger, brought up in provincial
town of bad reputation, neither a priest,
rabbi, scribe, magistrate. dignitary. nor
hero of any kind, it staggered their CON-
prehension and belief. They had long
and patiently looked for and desired
the coming of a King, whose splendor
might equal or exceed that of David or
Solomon. Surprised and disappointed,
they could not conceive that the proph-
ecy was literally fulfilled in Jesus of
Nazareth. Over this remarkable proph-
ecy the skeptic has been confined. He
has been unable to explain away the
fact, that a prophet, whose uninspired
imagination would have pictured the
Messiah, as a monarch, clothed with
power and earthly majesty, should have
seen, as he did, "the meek and lowly
Saviour" Another. and perhaps the
most important truth that stands out in
this lesson, is the fact that in Gods
dealings, he has the just suffer for the
unjust, one of his creatures suffer for
the good of others. This is what is de-
nominated "vicarious" suffering. Why
the infinitely wise and beni6cent Creator
ordained in the Divine economy, that
one creature should suffer for another,
is mysterious, but it was so ordained,
and ever since the tiny insect was first
borne in the beak of the sparrow to feed
her birdlings, or the harmless kid was
devoured by the lion, has that law been
exercised. In human affairs are more
striking examples of the workings OF
this law. The sufferings of the mother
for her offspring. of the good and the
noble for the wicked and the ignoble,
the slave for the master, the oppressed
for the oppressors, are the common ex-
emplifcatlons of this great law. But
more remarkable than all else, was that
wonderful example, Jesus Christ-the
God-man-who bore in his own person
the sins of the world.
The prophet truly represented his
coming to the world, as root springing
out of dry ground-a tender plant

MILK AND EGGS.

We desire particularly to recommend
TO farmers the use of more milk and
eggs in their families. There is no food
80 economical, and at the same time so
healthful and nutritious as milk 1t is
both meat and drink. 1t contains every
element essential for the development
Of the animal system. The proportions
Of these elements also are just and right.
There is nitrogen to form muscles, oil
for fabrication and generating heat,
and saline matter for forming bones
Fortunate are those children that are
brought up on milk diet. They are un-
conscious of having stomachs, their mus
Giles are we'll developed, their skins are
smooth and their cheeks rosy. 1t is
great mistake to suppose that a milk
diet is suitable only for children. Milk
is just as we'll adapted for men as boys.
One of the best developed men, both
physically and mentally. Massachusetts,
ever produced, DR.. Griffin, once pastor
Of the Park street church, Boston, and
afterwards president of Williams college,
loved milk when boy and continued to
love it all through life, prefering break
fast of bread and milk to anything else.
Few men ever filled Park street pulpit
with larger physique or more mental
power. Milk is emphatically mans food.
In every thirty gallons of it there is a
pound of phosphate of lime. Why it is
not more used in farmers families we
do not know unless it is so cheap and
abundant. Home mercies are wont to
be lightly appreciated. Eggs are another
article of cheap and nutritious food which
we do not find on farmers tables in the
quantity which economy demands. They
are very convenient to take to the store
and exchange for sugar, spices, ETC., and
this is the disposition which too many
farmers make of them. They probably
do not fully comprehend how valuable
eggs are as food that like milk, an egg
is q complete food in itself, containing
everything necessary for the development
of perfect animal, as is manifest from
the fact that chick is formed from it.
1t seems mystery how muscles, bones,
feathers and everything that a chick
requires for its perfect development, are
made from the yolk and white of an egg
but such is the fact, and it shows how
complete food an egg is. 1t is also
easily digested, if not damaged in cook.
ing. A raw or soft-boiled egg is almost
as easily assimilated as is milk, and car
be eaten with impunity by children anC
invalids. The average egg weighs ;
thousand grains, and is worth more az
food than so much beefsteak. Indeed
there is no more concentrated and nour
ishing food than eggs. The albumen
oil, and saline matter are, as in milk, il
the right proportion for sustaining ami
NAL life. When eggs bring no NOR,
than twenty cents per dozen, it is mucl
better economy to find market for then
in the family than at the store. Tw
or three boiled eggs, with the addition
of slice or two of toast, will make
breakfast sufficient for q man and gooC
enough for king.-MaSs PlOughman

SOMEBODY'S CHILD.

Somebody's child is dying-dying
with the flush of hope on his young face
and an indiscribable yearning to live
and take an honored place in the world
beside the companions of the youth.
And somebody's mother is thinking of
the time when that dear face will be
hidden where no ray of hope can brighten
it-when her heart and home will be
left desolate-because there was no cure
for consumption. Reader, if the child
be your neighbours, take this comforting
word to the mothers heart before it is
too late. Tell her that consumption is
durable, that men are living to-day, aged.

nounced incurable at the age of twenty

How TO DO IT.-An intelligent and
thrifty farmer says: but for the coop
GRAFTON of my boys should have failed.
The eldest is near twenty. one, and the
other boys in the neighborhood, younger,
have left their parents; mine have stuck
to me when l most needed their services,
and l attribute this result to the fact
that have tried to make their home
pleasant. l have furnished them with
attractive and useful reading. and when
night comes, and the days work is end
ed, instead of running with other boys
to the railroad station and adjoin-
ing towns, they gathered around the
great lamp and became interested in
their books and papers"

According to an experiment made
with potatoes and corn last season, by
Mr.. S. b. West. Columbia. Ct, and re-
ported in the Ohio Farmer by VIM. H.
Yeomans, the butt ends of potatoes and
the kernels of corn from the butt ends
of the ears each produced crops that
were materially better than where the
opposite course was pursued. In the
case of the potatoes, the stalks from the
butt ends were much the larger aud
more forward at the first hoeing The
increase in the corn was some twenty
per cent. in favor of the butt end kernels.

We have had excellent success in
growing potatoes by using coarse horse
manure in the hill. 1t seems particular
ly adapted to this purpose, as it contains
sufficient fertilizing material and also
keeps the soil loose about the tubers.
