Faith without Work.

The curing Of disease by the social
ed special interposition of Providence,
or the faith cure" still continues TO
attract the attention of people in whom
the element OF credulity is largely de-
veloped. Several well authenticated
instances have occurred of changes of
bodily condition effected by this pecu-
liar mode of treatment, and intelli-
gent men and women have presented
evidence that remarkable cures have
been made through the medium of
faith alone. That cures have been
made tie reflective mind cannot deny,
but that they were remarkable" is
more than common sense will admit.
As matter of fact, the influence OF
the mind upon the ailments Of the
bod! has long been recognized, and is
often employed as an assistant in
bringing about cure. The imaglna-
ton of the patient is the physicians
worst enemy or most efficient helper.
l. is easy to believe that "A woman SO
weak that she had to lean on two
friends went 10 church 10 he prayed
for and returned home without assist
ance. 1t is easy to believe that
another who had rheumatism was
enabled by the faith cure TO do her
housework, feat she had deemed i'm
possible. Others who had been afliict-
ed with similar complaints were ma
terially benefited by their visits to
the faith-curing tabernacle. II is easy
to believe in these cases. The patients
were excited by hope and Imagina-
ton, and were lifted into new life.
They were discouraged, hopeless,
despairing, and their faith revived the
strength they possessed all the time
without knowing IT, They simply
needed reviviiicatiun of energy.
Their naladies consisted in
low spirits aud nervous pros
tratiun. No one eau doubt that
many cures of this sort are made 10y
the disciples of faith, which, though
new in form. is old as life itself in
practice Organic diseases are never
cured by faith alone. The published
instances Of how prayer has stayed
the progress of IA cancer or restored to
life a Paralyzed limb are entirely I'M
authenticated by reliable evidence.
Fatty degeneration of the heart and
hereditary scrofula require something
more than the personal petitions Of
the afflicted ones friends to the throne
of grace before succumbing. II is not
likely that faith will restore the sight
blinded by cataract, or bring back
the lungs eaten away by consumption.
He who made man may cure him Of
disease, but lie must contravene the
laws established by Himself to do it,.
There il no evidence that He has ever
done this since the age Of miracles
passed away When a knife stab in
the heart will not kill, when a man
who steps into an open well will not
fall, aud when a hand thrust into "a
fiery furnace will not burn, we may
expect all the organic and inorganic
diseases that are the fruits of viola
tons II the laws OF health to he cured
by simple Faith without works"
Providence has never turned back the
universe at the request Of finite man
but once, aud the evidence regarding
that instance IL somewhat clouded
with dOubt,-MinneapOlis Journal.

SMALL FRUITS.
Why Their Cultivation Should be Com
mended to Farmers.

why CULTIVATION De COm-
mended to Farmers.
Had we voice of such power as to
penetrate the ears of every farmer in
the land who has hitherto failed to pro-
vide for his family an abundant supply
of small fruits in their season, we
should now, while the time for such
operations is at hand, tone it to the
highest pitch and with the greatest en-
phasls at our command, urge upon
every delinquent one, to not allow
another week to pass until generous
plat of ground has been prepared for
this purpose, and plantations of straw
berries, raspberries, blackberries, cur
rants, gooseberries and grapes has been
made. 1t seems passing strange that,
in a land where all the fruits above
named may be grown with so great ease
and so little uncertainty, that there
should be so large a percentage of
thrifty, intelligent farmers, who have
made their life business an unqualified
success, whose families are still without
an adequate supply of these healthful
Injuries.
We fear we have used a msnomer in
speaking of these fruits, which should
be abundant in every farmers house
hold as 'luxuries. " They are indeed
prime essentials, and have a most re-
fined influence in the family economy.
Besides this, their presence is vastly
promotive of peaceful relations between
the head of the family and the other
members of the household. How care.
fully the little ones will watch for the
earliest ripening Strawberries, and
bring in the ruby beauties to grace the
table, days before pater fdniLiaS sup
posed they would be- mature! And how
faithfully they will gather in these
luscious treasures from day to day
while their season lasts And when the
last picking has been cleaned from the
vines, with what genuine pleasure will
they invade the raspberry plantation,
and CLEAN there from the scarcely in
ferior fruit which that affords! And thus
on to the time when the vintage of the
vine is mature, the farmer aud his fam
/ lily may, with but small outlay of money,
and equal small amount of labor, feast
on a succession OF fruits, with no time
intervening that his tables are not
graced with their presence.
And you parents who assiduously
teach your offspring to preserve sacred
and invioiate the sixth commandment;
how well it would preserve the elasticity
of that intangible quantity termed CON
science, ii, when blackberries were
maturing, your children could 90 into
the home plantation and quietly gather
the daily supply needed, instead of in
vading your neighbors' fields on the sly,
and stealthily gathering the fruits from
bushes in the fence corners, which the
owner had allowed to flourish there in
the vain hope that, as he had to suffer
the nuisance Of their presence hi,
family might rightfully enjoy the
fruits they bore9
We have penned these few lines with
the indulgence of the hope that scores
of farmers, in whose families an abund
ance of fruits has heretofore been un
known, would be induced to adopt {
different regime in the future, and theii
festive board be hereafter daily graced
with their presence. burlington HdtcL
