Prejudice against American beef does
not die out in England, and the consequence
Is that many butchers sell the imported meat,
which is really better than the home grown,
for English beef, while any one who wants
some OF the cheaper American beef Is given
piece Of an inferior British animal. At
one London market American beef Is sold
for what IL Is and has won high reputation.
IL Is often said that meat which takes an
ocean passage Of ten or twelve days in . re-
frigerator Is better than that cut up and sold
and perhaps eaten the day after killing. The
English have . curious practice Of selling .
"beef critter" at so much pound through,
from whatever part piece is cut, so that the
best pieces bring very much less than IN this
country, while the inferior parts fetch more.

Philosophical
argument, especially
that drawn from the vast
ness of the Universe, in COM
parison with the apparent insignif-
icance of this globe, has sometimes
shaken my reason for the faith which is
in me; but my heart has always assured and
treasured me, that the Gospel Of Jesus
Christ must be divine reality. The
Sermon on the Mount cannot be o
merely human production This
belief enters into the very
depth of my conscience.
The whole history Of
man proves it.
