WHAT BREWERS THINK
ABOUT BEER.

Mr.. Lii was one of Americas great
est brewers. For thirty years he made
beer, and the product of his great es-
Establishment on the North Side (Chicago)
had wide reputation. At last the
brewery burned down. People suppos-
ed Mr.. Lii would rebuild. At meet
ing of the business men of that section
the subject was preached, but MIR. Lii
said that he should never build nor own
another brewery. 1t was business that
demoralized both master and man. He
said it was impossible to keep sober when
on his premises. 1t was a mandatory
of drunkards in constant operation
and the curse began in the brewery
itself, where every man was beer bar.

How easy it is to trust God when he
does just what we want him to do
The real test of faith in him is when
his providences disappoint and try US
exceedingly. But if we really believe
that "all things work together for good
to them that love God," why should
we stagger at any of those "things" :?
Herodotus tells of the heather priestess
who was so grateful for the loving SER
vice of her two sons on one occasion,
that she prayed they might be reward
ed with the richest blessing that the
gods could bestow upou them. The
next morning both of them were found
dead in their beds in the temple. The
response of the mother, on hearing of
this answer to her prayer, was: 81 will
never account myself unfortunate, that
/ was the mother of two such sons,
whom the gods have invested with i'm
mortality for their pious and obedient
actions" If that mothers faith meant
anything while her sons were living,
this was the most reasonable way in the
world of meeting the news of their
death when it came to her. If our faitt
is lot capable of standing such test
it is only the shadow and the name Of
Christian faith

produce with the chemicals and their
greater convenience in handling and APP
plying, the farm manures have the adj
vantage of being in general more last
ing in their effects.
IL. From results for details Of which
there is not room here, it would seem
that an excellent and perhaps, for most
farmers, the best way to use chemical
fertilizers is to supplement light dress
ing of farm manures. The results from
thus using the two together have been
very satisfactory.
Is. The proper way is to make the
most and best manure possible upon
the farm and piece out with such ma
terials as experience and experiment
show to be profitable.
METHODS oE APPLYING THE FERTILIZERS.
As between applying artificial fertil-
izers broadcast or in the hill or drill
the testimony of the experiments is, on
the whole, in favor of the former. The
best results in the majority of cases
came where the fertilizers were sown
broadcast. In some of the very best
materials were scattered over a strip a
couple of feet or so wide along the rows
Such concentrated materials when toe
close to the seed are apt to injure the
plant, especially in dry weather. The
nitrate of soda and murirte of potash
often do harm in this way.
The best fertilizers for different crops
will be discussed IN subsequent articles
eUnder the aupices Of the american AgricuItarfs
through whose courtesy the figures have been fur
| nshed.

GEORGE WHITEFIEL DIS
REMINDER.

time in certain town in the house of
a general who treated him kindly.
White6eld, as his custom was, intended
to speak to the family Individually about
the gospel of Christ, but Satan said
"Now George, don't say a word to.these
good people, it will grieve them they
have been so kind to you. Why, you
cannot tell the general, Except man be
born again, he cannot see the kingdom
of God :" they would be too harsh words
to address to such a man as that And
you cannot talk to the wife and daugh-
tiers concering things of the kingdom.
See how kind they have been to you I!
The warning will not come we'll from
one who has been so much obliged to
them as you" And no doubt the flesh
little aided the temptation, so that
when Whitefeld retired to rest that night
he had not spoken to any of the persons of
the house according to his usual won't.
This troubled him. The Lord visited him
by night, and said to him. Thou art
my servant, and yet thou hast not done my
work, " and conscience whispered, "These
people have been kind to you; is it not
great unkindness not to warn them of
the wrath to Gomez" Aud then the
Spirit said, "You dare not leave this
place until you have addressed to them
word that might be blessed to their
souls" But still the flesh was strong,
and George did not dare to say word.
However, when the flesh failed, God
came in and directed his servants mind.
Whitefeld happened to have dimond
ring in his possession at the time, with
which he wrote upon the window-pane,
"But one thing thou lackest," and hav-
ing prayed much about it, he went his
way. No sooner had he gone than the
master of the house entered the room
where the good man had slept. The
first thing that struck the generals eye
was this writing on the window-pane-
But one thing thou lackest." The
thought flashed across his mind
"Then this holy man of God loves
my soul; thought that he did not
love it, for he said not a word to me
about it; it appears that he does.
Wife," said he, "come here and see
what is on that window" Yes," said
she, depend upon it he has been I'm.
happy in our house. We have done
the best we could to make him comforta
BILE, but because we don't love the Lord
he has been disturbed and unhappy
!, They both stood, the Spirit of God wa
at work in their hearts; they were con
WINGED of the truth of that sentence
, zone thing thou lackest." Call up tn,
children" said the father. And tn
son and the three daughters came, ant
strange to tell, the VIII ole of them wer
y brought to contrition of heart for sin a
the sight of that text. Round the be,
the whole family knelt-six of them
and bowed their knees, confessing thei
: sins, and rose up believing in the Lor
Jesus Christ. A member of the churc
at present under the care of DR.. Arm
q itage has now in her possession the yer
4 pane of glass on which White6eld wrot
n the words, and she tells the story c
: how her mother was one of those daugt
10 ters who were thus converted to tb
