81 And Terah took Abram his son. and Lot
the son of Haran his sons son, and Sara his
daughter-in-law, his son Abrams wife; and
they went forth with them from Ur of the
Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan and
they came unto naran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were twohundred
and five years; and Jerah died in Haran.
l Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get
thee out of thy cottntry, and from thy kin.
dred, and from thy fathers house, unto land
that viii Show tfee:
And will make of thee great nation.
and 1 Will bless thee, and make thy name
great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
8 And bless them that bless thee, and curse
him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed.
So Abram departed, as the Lord had
spoken unto him and Lot went with him; ;
and Abram was seventy and five years old
when he departed out Of Haran.
5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot
his brothers son, and all their substance that
they had gathered and the souls that they
had gotten IN Haran; and they went forth to
go into the land of Canaan ;and into the land
of Canaan they came.
And Abram passed through the land unto
the place ofSichem, unto the plain of Moreh.
And the Canaanite was then in the land.
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and
said. Unto thy seed will give this land ::
and there builded he an altar unto the Lord
who appeared unto him.
And he removed from thence unto a
mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched
his tent having Bethel on the west, and Hal
on the efst: and there he builded an altar
unto the Lord, and called upon the name of
the Lord.
8, And Abram journeyed, going On stfIr to-
ward the Sohth.
10. And there was a famine in the land:
and Abrann went down into Egypt to sojourn
there; for the famine was grievous in the
lend.

God calling yet shall not hearg
Earths pleasures shall / still hold dear?
Shall life's swift passing years all fly,
And still my soul in sldmber lie?
God calling yet shalt not arise7
Can his loving voice dispise
And basey his kind care repay?
He calls me still can delay?
God calling yet? cannot stay;
My heart yield without delay;
Vain world, farewell, from thee part;
The voice of God hath reached my heart.

along the bank Of these rivers and more es-
pecially the Clearwater to be not too con f.
dent of safety, for the indications are that
the resources for the rise of these Mverx are
greater at present than was ever known be-
fore, These cold snaps that we have hailed
with joy as checks to the food may have
only held in allegiance the large bodies of
snow in the mountains till the extreme heat
of the last days of June and the sultry days
of July send these large bodies Of water sud-
denly upon us. With the rapid rise Of the
river which is certain to come, there will be
but little time to gather up the contents Of
the cellars and the effects in the houses on
the low lands, and remove them in haste
unless some timely arrangements are made
for their suddenrcmoval. Should the Clear
water rise to kgreater hight than the Snake
this will give the Clearwater force power
full enough to sweep headlong everything
that happens in its way.

8. Stacked lime added to vegeta

8. Stacked lime added to vegeta-
bic matter causes it to give off its nj
trogen in the form Of ammonia. Upon
soils in which ammonia is combined
with acids, it sets free the ammonia,
which is seized upon by the growing
plants.
10. It's solubility in water causes
it to sink into and ameliorate the SUBJ
soil. When the soil contains trag-
ments OF granite or trap rock, lime
hastens their decomposition and Aber-
ates their constituents.

in the soil produces saline compounds
