The Utility of Prayer.
.ev. Heber Newton.

Sermon by Rev. Heber Newton.
But days journey from us Montreal
lies plague-stricken. The great church
which holds the abject loyalty of the
chief part of the population is meeting
the emergency after the fashion of the
dark ages. She is opening her sacred
edifices for solemn supplication and is
appointing days in honor of st. Roch,
the patron saint of disease. Her priests
are organizing praying professions like
those which several hundred years ago.
walked through the plague-stricken
streets of Florence. chanting litanies to
turn aside the wrath of God, and hosts
of the poor march to the cemetary and
there, beneath the open sky, upon their
knees, cry to heaven to save them. Re
ligious services might have their legiti-
mate uses in this emergency. But a.as
That great church has put forth no
form for such rational use OF a day of
prayer against the plague. That form
would bid the priest preach sermons
showing the guilty city its sins of filth,
and then lead the people in prayer that
God would cause them to repent of their
foul ways and do deeds of cleansing
meet for repentance. 1t would direct
the priest to commend the ignorant peo
pie to submit to the vaccination which
they now regard with horror, and to in
struct them plainly in the ordinary laws
of preventing the spread of the scourge
the laws which are now so shockingly
disgraced. With such asplendid power
over it's flock this great church is throw
ing it wickedly away-preaching to the
people of Gods wrath against sin in gen
eral and the guilt of original sin in par
ticular; in some instances actually en-
couraging the poor people to regard vac
cination as sin; bringing out the Alad
din's lamp of prayer and rubbing it in
the cathedral, and then letting the flock
go home to commit the almost incon-
ceivable stupidities of which we read in
our papers-keeping well children in the
sick room. where their brothers are ly-
ing with the plague, doirg the regular
laundry work for unsuspecting families
in the same death chamber, airing in
fected clothing in the open streets, and
sending little children in professions
through the stricken quarters. And
then these poor souls will cry bitterly
that God has not heard or answered
their praye and faith will be over
turned in hosts of hearts. When the
English wanted such day of prayer
against the cholera, a number of years
ago, Lord Palmerston brusqueiy advised |
the people to give she day 30 cleaning the
filthy towns FIT must be prayer or
work, then it should be work. Is pray |
er a prophy lactic against filth-disease
If we could stay plague by prayer
against it, why should we need any SAN
itary science? How thankful that the |
Divine mother does not codlle Us into
imheciliIy

Preparation of Ground for Strawber-


A study of the root growth OF the
strawberry plant will give us important
points in the preparation of the soil for
planting. An experiment made by DIR.
Sturtevant, director of the agricultural
experiment station at Geneva, n. Y,
greatly helps us to ascestaln the facts
and to arrive at correct conclusions.
Washing away the soil from strawb wber-
ry plant the experiment found its roots
extending almost vertically downward
to depth of nearly twenty-five inches.
The horizontal roots were few and short,
the longest being but six inches. Nearly
all the fibrouS roots were found directly
beneath the plant. The new roots APP
peared growing out about an inch above
the old ones, and the largest of these
had attained at this time a length of six
inches. They were white, and tipped
at the extremity with a thickenlng
point.
This root-growth then teacheus, tn at
the ground should be thoroughly pre-
pared previous to planting, and stirred
deeply. The manure had best be plowed
deep down. 1t also teaches us that cul-
tivaton between the rows can do no
harm to the roots at any time, as they
are out of reach and close to the plant.
AS to the treatment of older beds, the
fact that the new roots grow above the
old ones each year, further teaches us
the importance of. drawing the soil to-
wards the plant after fruitsng season,
andsnggests the advisability of applying
all featilis ers close to the plant, not mere
ly between The rows.-Ex.
