WHERE is YOUR FAITH
BY REV. C. II. WETHERBE.

The Saviour was aboard ship. Weary
with superhuman toll he sank to rest that
his physical energies might recaperate. A
storm arose, and its fury tossed the disciples
into fearful panic. They flew to the Mas
ter's pillow and awoke him, saying, "We
perish" Calmly be arose and slilled the
threatening tempest, and then reprovingly
asked, "Where is your faith p We do not
learn that they told him where it was, but it
was evident that their faith was not in the
right place. On another occasion Christ told
the disciples to "have faith in God" Had
their faith been in him at this time as firm
and fixed as it should have been, they would
not have been shaken with terror and panic
stricken. They were acting out the common
impulse of the physical or lower elements Of
their nature. 1t was perfectly natural that
they should be afraid of what they saw.
But the occasion should have been used by
them TO put into exercise their spiritual ener
gies and make them triumph over the physi
cal. This was golden opportunity to let the
spiritual assert its true supremacy over the
physical-to bring the lower elements of be-
ing into calm subjection to the higher. The
spiritual is rightful master Of the physical and
mporal and he who reverses this order is a
slave to the baser elements of his being.
Faith in God, fixed and fearless, is the souls
commandant, and master of every situation.
The conduct of the disciples was like the
play Of the tempest-it was without command,
and rocked with confusion. Their faith was
under the whip of their fears-the prisoner of
their alarms. And yet it must be confessed
that they did what is to be commended rather
than conference.-the went to Jesus and de.
clared to him the situation. They still had
some faith in him, even though they wonder.
ed at the display of the hidden power which
he brought out to conquer and command the
wind and wave. But the force of Christ's
question as to where their faith was suggests
that, had their faith been firmly anchored in
God they might, through prayer to him, have
received an answer in the stlling of the temp
est, or, at least, have obtained grace to remain
calm under the trial of their faith. They
were not rebuked for being afraid, but for let
ting fear get the control of their faith. God
does not demand that we shall entirely sup
press, fear, any more than he requires that
we refrain from weeping over the loss OF
friends; but he demands that our faith in
him shall be enduring rather than subdued -
victor instead of victim. With the Psalmist
let US say, "What time 1 am afraid, I will
trust in Thee"

INDIVIDUALITY OF THE HoRsE.-One
thing curious and interesting about the horse
is its individuality. This is characteristic
common to all animals, undoubtedly to a
greater or less degree, but surprisingly so,
we think, in the case of the horse. How this
characteristic varies in horses is we'll known
by any one who has ever intelligently drawn
e rein over good roadster. The individual.
ty of horses varies as much as that of men,
Every one has different mental as we'll as
physical make up. Some horses seem to pos
sess brains, to have some sense, are quick to
understand and obey the least sign, motion,
or word of their master others are not in
aptly termed "lunk-heads," always awkward,
numbering about, difficult to teach, and new
er "make anything" in a physiological sense.
It may be true that these traits in horse
are sometimes due to the habits of his driver
or owner, and that the horse itself may not
be so much to blame for his ignoranc, but
however much he may be excused on this
score. there is surprising difference in these
mental qualities of horses. Some men drive
and use horses for years and yet never realize
that they know anything, or that there is any
more QlHerence otCWeeu Inem tnaH CneIe 10
between so many barrels or sawlogs. Other
men who handle horses great deal, who
buy and and sell frequently, and who study
much their different characteristics, will tell
you how wonderful horses are, how much
more they know than some men, how much
each one one has to be driven and handled
diferently y-and how much they will some
times teach, even their drivers. Between a
nervous, sensitive, intelligent horse and his
considerate owner, how large union Of fel
low ship and sympathy exists. In the stable,
on the road, if oyertaken by an accident, the
cool, sensible man is sure to have a quick
sympathy for his faithful horse. He trusts
his master, as his master trusts him. If the
master is quiet, the horse will be equally so,
knowing everything is safe; if the master
blusters, or becomes anxious, or exhibits fear,
the horse knows it at once and becomes res
tive likewise. Oh that men only knew that
horses know much more than they give them
credit for, and then they would use them
more humanely, as they should, than they
now do. Horses are not brutes they are
noble, intelligent sensible creatures, the mos,
useful anmal-servant which Divine Good
ness has given to man.

FEEDING HORSES.

The following facts are from the essay read
by John E. Russell, at the Farmers Institute
at Salem:
The horse has the smallest stomach in pro
portion to his size, of any animal. Fifteen
or sixteen quarts is its utmost capacity. This
space is completely filled by four quarts of
oats and the saliva that goes into the stomach
with it. Horses are generally overfed and
not fed often enough. For horse with mod
crate work six or eight quarts of bruised oats
and eight or ten pounds Of fine hay day is
sufficient. This should be fed in at least three
meals, and is better if fed in four A horses
digestion is very rapid, and therefore, be gets
hungry sooner than man. When he Is
hungry he is ineffective and wears out very
rapidly. Water fills the stomach, lowers the
temperature and dilutes the gastric juice !;
therefore, horse should not drink immedi
ately before eating. Neither should he be
watered Immediately after eating, because he
will drink too much, and force some Of the
contents of the stomach into the large intes
tine, which will cause securing. Securing is
also caused by too rapid eating, which can
be prevented by putting half dozen pebbles
half the size of the fist, into the manger with
the oats Give only moderate drink Of wa.
ter to horse. A large drink of cold water
before being driven will have very quieting
effect on a nervous horse. A racehorse al.
ways runs on ar empty stomach. Digestion
progresses moderately during exercise, if the
exercise is not 50 violent as to exhaust the
powers of the horse. l consider bruised
oats worth 20 per cent. more than whole.
They are more completely digested. Prefer
oats to any other grain for horses. Cracked
corn is very good under some circumstances,
but wouldn't use meal or shorts. The disease
called big head is caused by feeding corn.
When horse comes in hot, would give a
moderate feed Immediately. If the horse is
too tired to eat, would take his feed away.
A heated body is reason against watering
and for feeding, for the system is then just in
the condition to begin digestion. A horse
will not founder if fed moderately when hot.
I prefer dry feed unless horse has some dis
ease of the throat or lungs. Do not consider
it worth while to cut hay. l always feed hay
from the floor, then the horses do not get par
ticles in their eyes.
