Christ Only.

1t is only an experience of this personal
need that can bring us to realize how far
away and silent God is, unless we have
Christ to bring him down to US. In days
of thoughtlessness and in years of prosper
ity, when you are not pressed by any sense
of necessity to appeal to God, you do not see
how true it is that without Christ you have
no God But let the dark day roll across your
horizon; let that darkness, If you please,
take the form not of external disaster, but OF
some deep and intolerable feeling ofpersonal
sinfulness. Now, pray to the stars, to the
trees, the ocean the mountains lift up your
appeal toward the polar star then turn and
pray for forgiveness toward the south, turn
your beseeching face east, and then west.
You have swept the universe, but you have
missed God. The stars, ocean and noun
tains reply not. Out of north, or south or
east or west, comes no healing touch upon
your fevered spirit. Where is your God
Can you make infnitude your friend Can
space, which rolls its silent vastness round
you, unload you of the burden on heart and
conscience Without this Christ whom
we preach to draw near you now, you
you are without GOO. Without the pierced
bands to roll the burden away, it must
abide upon you. Let great cloud of wit
nesses gather round you and bear their testi-
mony that they never found deliverance
from the dark and ranking curse of sin
until in that radiant hour when Christ, in
the fullness of his astonishing and inetfable
love, drew near to them. Take their testi-
mony find in Christ your redeemiug God,
There can be no other.-J. g. Van Slyke.

Henry CLAWS Idea Of Religion.

To Miss Martineau he once said 81 do
not know practically about what the
churches call religion. | wish | did. But
do know of its effects. In the neighbor-
hood of my home were two very estimable
families who, in years past, fell into what is
known as Kentucky Feud,' which means
that as often as any of the embittered party
met at fair or public meeting, there was
probability that the fray would begin, and
It was as likely to kill the innocent as those
in the strife. The neighbors did everything
in their power for conciliation. did every.
thing in my power with the rest; but all
was in vain. The killing went on until one
of the denominations, known here as the
Baptist, held what they call basket-meet-
ing and had what they call revival and
these belligerent families were converted, as
they say, and they have lived on the best
terms ever since, blessing to the whole
community. | tell you, Miss Martineau,
that whatever will change Kentucky feud
into loving fellowship so soon and effect
lively is Of God. No power short of him
could do it."

Yesterday.

To-day was provided for yesterday; each
present feeds on yesterday forethought; II
not, then to-day must go hungry But all
this forecast made necessary by Providence
is subservent to larger end The habit of
looking forward assists us in anticipating
our immortality. Indeed, the stressful fact
of working for tomorrow is an education
into working for eternity-if We are sufi-
ciently thoughtful and conscientious to
take the lesson home TO our hearts. In all
ways God pushes us forward to think on
our latter end-to provide for the world out
of sight. 1t may be hard to realize the un-
seen eternity; but 1t is harder still to real
ize that all beyond death is silence and
nothingness. The great tomorrow is fore
told by that lesser tomorrow which de-
mands our thought and our labor Happy
is he who can pause in the strife OF action
for the next day and think sweetly and
hopefully of the next life.-MethOdisL

hood Of Mount Moriah, within the past
week the dronded insect has appeared In
numbers far beyond what was known in
his former invasion Of that locality aud the
farms about Derby two years ago. The
rye, timothy and corn fields are covered
with the unwelcome visitors, and the road
leading from Mount MOriah station on
the Philadelphia, Washington & Bal.
timore railroad, to the cemetery
has been for the past Two or three
days almost black with them. Along and
near this road are several fine fields OF rye
and timothy on the Yocum, Ellis and Far
rel farms. In the rye fields the insects
have worked along the roots of the grain
stalks to an extent that makes portions of
tho fields look as If they had been gone
over by small plow The worms will be-
gin in a body, moving with the evenness
aud regularity IN order of a column of sol
diers, and pillow through the ground in q
given direction, taking the roots of the rye
stalks as clearly as if they had never ex.
isted until they reach certain point,
when they will wheel around with the
same military precision and move directly
back in their destructive raid over an area
similar in size to that ON which they orig.
inally started.
WORKING BY COLUMNS.
Meantime another column will be work
ing crosswise over the same ground, NOV.
ing at right angles with the first lot Sc
that between them it takes but com para.
lively short time for them to lay waste au
acre of grain, which is no sooner done than
they go to work on new lot, until half a
large field is sometimes completely de
stroyed. The appetite of the insect is &c.
centric. No farmer can tell when they will
leave his rye and attack his timothy and
corn. or vice versa. On the timothy they
are very destructive. They will climb the
stalks and-strip every blade from them
as clean as if they had been cut of
with knife. Not content with this they
will eat the stalk in two in the middle, SO
That it droops and dies in few hours. The
same mischievous trait characterizes them
also in their raids on the rye. At times
they will work on the roots of the grain
alone in the manner above described and
then leave the field and go to the corn or
timothy, but other times, not satisfied with
their work on the roots, they will climb the
rye stalks, eat out every grain in the beads,
and then, descending about half way down,
will maliciously nip out about three-fourths
OF the stalk, leaving such slender portion
at the attacked part that the slightest wind
will break them off, giving field of rye the
appearance OF having been gone over by
the reaper with his SICKLE Philadelphia
