Two GREAT EvILs.-The following from
Joseph Cooks late lecture applies chiefly to
city tyy,i life: IT,, ,.+ o,;,. os o,,r +;,oo ;ns;do
the domain of Christendom are probably
luxurious living among church members
and loose thinking among religious teach
ers. And when the two go together and we
have religious club, instead of a church, a
club in which, of course, it would be uncour-
teOus to suppose that there are any sinners,
club that has forgotten that all men are
brethren and that the business of the Church
is to stand between the livingand the dead !:
connected by close social ties, and, perhaps,
giving direction to great central currents in
the religious life of a city, the time then has
come to awaken all the powers of the pulpit
and press and the platform against the
choking of Gods most holy truth by purse
strings and by ribbons and by dashes Of the
lavendar waters ofliberalism. / am speak
ing very frankly; but the truth is that the
case needs stern surgery. Our population IS
a fifth in large cities, and under the vOlun-
tary system in the United States it is likely
to be our prevailing trouble that, when Ju-
das carries the bag and betrays his Lord, he
hang himself, and you will not have the
grace to hang him."
TURN YOUR FACE TO THE LIGHT.--It
had been Ofthose days on which everything
goes contrary, and had come home tired
and discouraged. AS 1 sank into chair, I
groaned, "EVerything looks dark, dark !"
"Why don't you turn your face to the light,
auntie dear ?" said my little niece, who was
standing unperceived beside me.
"Turn your face to the light" The words
set me thinking. That was just what had
not been doing. had persistently keptIny
face in the opposite direction, refusing to see
the faintest glimmer of brightness. Artless
little comforter /! she did not know what
healing she had brought. Years have gone
by since then, but the simple words have
never been forgotten. -Ffieaps RevieW.

SOAKING SEEDs.---I am often asked
whether it does any good to soak seeds be-
fore sowing them? In general 1 believe it
does more harm than good, and if done at
all good deal of judgment should be used to
prevent mischief. Thus, peas, beans and
corn are often soaked to hasten termination,
with the belief that they will come a day or
two earlier, but in case the weather is cold
and wet for some time after sowing the seed
it will be more likely to suffer injury from
the weather than if soWn dry. Care is re-
quired in sleeping seeds that fermentation
does not occur, which will frequently kill
the seed. TO steep seeds in chemical solu-
tions with the belief that this will answer
in place of fertilizing the land, l believe is
sheer humbug and imposition upon common
sense. The only chemical stutfs that have
proved useful, SO far as 1 know, are the blue
vitriol to destroy germs of smut, strychnlne
to destroy crows and blackbirds, and smear
ing of tar on corn seed for protection from
these birds,
