The Farinstead Lawn.

Family games, the outdoor games of
summer, must be provided for. Every
body, almost, plays croquet, and lawn
tennis is rapidly becoming an equally
rs popular game. The boys also want a
place to play ball, and at least the small
boys can be allowed q chance upon the
small area reserved for the two home
games referred to. These ought, of
course. to have as level q spot as posi-
Bile, with trees around it for shade, but
not too near. Seats may be provided
beneath these trees for weary partici-
pants or elderly on-lookers. It is we'll
worth while to take considerable pains
with this play ground, SO thai the games
may be played in n satisfactory manner
and skilled players satisfied with the
facilities for displaying their accom-
plishments. The leveling ought to be
done with care, ana a fine, thick June
grass sod secured by good preparation
of the ground, liberal seeding, and n
regular but moderate use of the lawn
mower. These things take time; but
the labor We delight in physics pain"
saith the poet, and both the boys and
the girls of the family will willingly
help to prepair the ground devoted to
social recreation and the entertainment
of visiting friends and kindafoik. All
that | have indicated can be carried out
nicely on the space of a single acre.

Phosphate for Poultry.

The advice to give bones to hens to
make them lay has been improved by a
fnrmer who accidentally learned that
purpose. he spilled some ns"efs with jt,a s seed
wheutrlast September, and gathering it
up mixed with soil give thist to his hens.
Rather to his surprise the pieces of
phosphate were eaten as readily MS the
grain, and about the same time his hens
began laying as they had not done be-
fore. Not all of the commercial phos-
phate sold now is made. from bones.
This incident, which q Tribune cores
pondent furnishes, indicates that the
rock phosphate may serve a good pur-
pose for hen feed, as we know it does
for crop food.

We never find out how good God
is until we begin to trust him.
We never get where God wants us
to be until we become willing to
obey him.
We never please God more than
when we earnestly and honestly
strive to be like his Sob.
We are never more mistaken than
when we think God does not love us
while we are sinners.
We can never know the truth until
we are willing to live the truth.
We never find out how bad we are
until we begin to find out how good
God is.
We never get where we can learn
until we find out that we don't know
much.
We never can please God until we
begin to trust him.
We will never do much for others
until we find out how much God has
done for us.
We never want to 60 to heaven

satisfy us.

The Day of Rest.

Young Churchman.
One of the commonest reasons for
not attending divine services is this:
81 was too tired after my weeks
work and wanted rest!" Sunday is
a day of rest; but if we are to use it
rightly, we must use it reverently as
the day of worship. We should re-
member that it is sign of weakness
and insincerity to be ever pleading
that poverty stricken plea, 81 have
no time" when duty calls. If one is
a little worn and fatigued, will all
day spent in lettering be one of the
best? To spend day in doing MOTH
ing and accomplishing nothing ought
to leave behind such a sense of dissat-
isfaction with selfas would spoil ones
rest instead of refreshing one. To a
man or woman honestly tired the
best of rest is not dalliance, but a
change of occupation. To refresh the
soul is the very best way to relieve
the body. Sunday is given to us for
this refreshment, and he who forgets
or refuses to discern this profound
truth will find his Sunday stale and
Improbable, if nothing worse. Have
not many of us discovered that we
can make it weary day, yet spend
no hours in public worship?
The man who is turning a crank
rests his right hand by using his left.
We who are turning the crank in the
labors of the world can rest both
mind and body by educating the
soul. The main trouble with mems
faith today rises from the sheer neg
lect of that education. The best cure
for that neglect stands waiting fol
them in the means of grace, and the
first of these is the public services OF
Sunday.
Bring to the cure of your world.
WEAKNESS the conscientious and regu.
lar use Of those services, and soon
they will grow up to you your high
est privilege! AS many another has
found, you may also find in these
quiet, restful hours in church, relief
to strained nerves, a better knOwl-
edge of Christ'S religion, peace Of
mind, and exaltatiOn of soul.

Fame.

Fame and good reputation consists
in doing the right thing in the right
way at the right time. Generals are
famous who led the way to victory.
Orators are famous who touched the
heart of the people. Smiths Tonic

accomplished correct results. Used
in the right way at the right time it
invariably does the right thing. 1t

"Cleanse me from my sim" "Create
in me clean heart, o God, and re-
new a right spirit within me-"
Are we uncertain about what we
ought to do? David said: "Cause
me to know the way wherein l
should walk" "Teach me to do thy
will, for thou art my God"
When we feel sad and discouraged,
we can pray: "Restore unto me the
joy of thy salvation"
five want to tell others how good
God has been to us,and urge them to
seek him, let us pray: 80 Lord, open
thou my lips"
When trouble of any kind, great
or small, comes to us, how quickly
we can offer the prayer: 30 my God!
make haste for my help"
And when he has helped us, we
shall find In the Psalms fitting words
to express our thankfulness: "How
excellent is thy loving kindness, o
GOd!" ~ love the Lord, because
he hath heard my voice and my sup
plications."
Just taking verse here and there
only begins to show us the beauty of
these old prayers and songs. But how
can we be ready to use them if we do
not know them? Let us make them
our own, learning them "by heart"
Then they will really be the language
of our hearts.

Hiding the Bible.

Once, a Bible was baked in a loaf
of bread. That was in a far-away
country, called Austria. Some wick
ed men came into the house to find
the Bible and burn it up, but the wo-
man who owned it was just going to
bake bread;so she rolled her Bible up
in big loaf and put it in the oven.
When the men went away she took
out the loaf, and it was not hurt bit.
That was, good place to hide Bible,
wasn't it? But I'll tell you of a bet
ter place still. David knew of that
place when he said, "Thy word have
l hid in my heart, that / offend not
thee. Rays of Light.

THE HOPE OF REST.
BY REV. E. HERBRUCK, PHI. D.
Christian Weekly.

Christian Weekly.
We are glad that the Gospel holds
out many incentives to labor. 1t
would be a hard thing indeed we
would be compelled to record of
Christianity, if it did not give its
faithful adherents some promise of a
reward; if it did not say to him, GO
on in the way of the Lord, and you
will surmount all difficulties and find
peace at last" 1t gives every en-
enlargement. Christ, the Great
Commander, wei knew of the tribula-
ton and sorrow that the soldier in
His army would be compelled to enr
dure, so to encourage him he has told
him, "There remaineth therefore a
rest to the people of God" What a
great life this is for us. Weary
with the march of life, bowed beneath
its burdens, we have but to raise our
eyes and VIC shall see the hills radiant
with glory, and the city of our God
coming down as bride adorned for
her husband.
1t is the hope that the Lord will
appear in Glory and open the gate
way by which we shall enter into the
rest promised us, that gives us cour-
age to battle with disobedient and
gainsaying world. We know that
when He comes it will be in glory,
and that He will take His chosen
ones with Him. "Looking for that
blessed hope and the glorious appear
ing of the great God and our Saviour
Jesus Christ" Blessed end of this
weary, sorrowful world. Come Lord
Jesus. What hope is this the COM
ing of our Saviour. The entering
into rest, the cessation Ofall wearying
and oppressive labor. We welcome
it. We look for it. We stand upon
the summit of earth's desOlate graves
and hail its approach. We wait its
coming as they who wait for the
morning. We look over the wrecks
of this sad world and weep. We
think of the broken hearted every
where, the vexed and suffering chill
dren, the oppressed and down-trod-
den army of men and women, and as
we look beyond and above these, and
see through binding tears the gleam-
ing light of the better land, we cry
out again, "Come Lord Jesus!"
What is it that cheers the laborer
as he tolls in the heat of the day? Is
it not that rest will come with the
evening? What is it that cheers the
traveller, long absent from home? Is
it not the thought that after awhile
his wanderings will be over, and that
he will again occupy his place by the
side of dear friends, who are now
thinking ofhim in the far away land ?
Is it not the same with the laborer in
Christ's vineyard? Though the bur-
den may be great, yet he knows the
time is nigh when his buOyant spirit
shall mount up with wings as eagles,
and he rejoice in the rest of heaven.
How many weary soul has been
cheered and encouraged by the
thought of rest at last, the union with
the dear ones, the trials all over, and
the peace of God about them. How
our freed spirits will rejoice when
they come to the land that is not very
far off. How we shall then praise
God for his great love, and thank
Him because He sustained us amid
the trials of life, and gave US the
promise of rest when done with the
world. Weary one, be not discour-
aged. Yours may be life of labor

A Sensible Woman.

She takes a healthy interest in her
neighbors, but she is by no means a
gossip, still less a scandal>monger.
At no time will she be brought into
the folly of discussing motives, or
judging of things by the seamy side
of appearance. And if persistently
bored by those who find pleasure in
seeing all things at cross purposes and
all people more or less scoundrels I'M
detected, she does her best to miti-
gate what she cannot prevent. She
has strong principles, but she is not
an active proselytizer. She lets 9TH
ers think for themselves, and, only
when called on to testify, raises her
own private flag aloft. She knows
the difference between consistency and
aggression, which with courage other
opinions, has also the modesty of ret
icence. She treats her servants as, in
a certain sense, her friends, her chill
dren, while still keeping the reins of
home government in her own hands.
But they all know that when they
do their duty she will reward them,
or at least recognize by kind word
and hearty acknowledgment that
they have done we'll, and when they
neglect it she will rebuke them. She
will be neither Indifferent on the one
side, nor remiss on the other; and
thus her household always feels and
knows that her eyes are open and her
heart is warm.

OYER AND OVER AGAIN.
Over and over again,

Over and over again,
No matter which way turn,
always find in the book of life
Some lessons have to learn.
| must take my turn at the mill,
must grind out the golden grain,
must work at my task with resolute will
Over and over again
We cannOt measure the need
OF even the tiniest flower,
Ner cheek the flow of the golden sands
That run through single hour;
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, and perform 1t all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
The ponderous millwheel goes.
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing failing us once or twice
May come If we try again.
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet,
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorowful tears must fall,
And the heart to its depths be driven
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

Sensational Preachers.

Following in the wake of Sam
Jones, the evangelist, has developed
a school of sensational preachers who
are destined to do the pulpit and
Christianity injury. Some of these
would-be imitators Of the evangelist

in the use of sensational, uncouth,
vulgar, and even brutal language.

Old Prayers for Young Lips.
The Presbyterian.

The Presbyterian.
l wonder how many of our young
friends know the help that the
Psalms can give in prayer. 1t seems
as if the Lord had given David such
a great variety of experiences, so that
he might, in inspired words, form
prayers for all Gods people to use on
all occasions. There will hardly
come a time in our lives when we
shall not find in.the Psalms words to
express our feelings in prayer even
better than our words can, for these
are the words that God gave.
We all find many things hard to
understand in the Bible. So did the
Psalmist, for he prays: "Open thou
mine eyes, that might behold Won
drous things out of thy law" snake
me understand the way of thy pre-
cepts."
When we have done wrong chow
often that is the case) the prayer is
ready for us: "For thy names sake,
o, Lord! pardon mine iniquity!"
Glide thy face from my sins, and
blot out all mine iniquities." d..
Do we want very much to be saved
from our sins? Let us pray to God:
"IntO thy hands | commit my spirit;
thou hast redeemed me, o Lord God
of truth" 81 am thine, save me!'

The Blessedness of Not Having Our
Own Way.

The Congregationalist
We learn to submit to the not
having our own way because we al
ways must accept the inevitable. U.s.
ually, also, we learn in time that the
discipline thus undergone is useful.
But to appreciate its actual blessed
ness, the fact that it results in increas-
ed peace, and even in happiness ofthe
purest quality, takes longer. Some
people never succeed in learning this
lesson thoroughly. Yet the fact is un
deniable.
The surrender of our own will pros
notes humility. This is one of the
most vital virtues, and perhaps is
that which large majority Of us are
slowest to acquire. So much empha-
sis is laid, and rightly, upon the duty
of thinking and acting for ourselves,
of eultivating a true, proper indie
pendence of character, that it is not
SO strange that it should prove diff
cult to draw the line between COM
mendable self>reliance, and that will
ling submission to the divine will,
which equally is our duty. Were we
always to succeed In carrying out our
plans, our justifiable independence
would develop pride, and we should
grow to think ourselves able to disre-
gard God. AS it is, we fall into this
sin easily and often. Nearly every
one needs absolutely and frequently
the lesson of humility, which the not
having our own way teaches.
1t also impresses the great truth, to
which otherwise our eyes might re-
main closed, that, even when we fail
to do as we desire and think best, our
Heavenly Father is watching over
and guiding our lives. Nothing
which convinces us of His constant,
Over>ruling love is other than bles-
sing, and nothing produces this con-
viction more surely than the discov-
cry that, although our cherished
plans have come to nothing, the wis
dom of the Almighty has brought tC
pass results equally, ifnot even more
advantageous in some form than
those sought for by us. To fail often
to have our own way casts us back as
often upon the divine care and ten
derness, teaches us how trustworthy
they are, and causes Gods affection
ate interest in each Of us to become
more apparent and precious.
1t also makes possible for us clos
er, sweeter fellowship with Jesus, Al
though it is true, Of course, that HI
did have His own way, in that HI
freely chose to live, suffer and die fol
mankind, it is equally true that Hi
whole earthly career was characteriz
ed by the willing, cheerful surrende
of His natural, human inclination
for the sake of His redeeming work
His life was one long succession o
sacrifices, and His intelligent sympa
thy for us in our disappointment i
based not only upon the omniscienct
of His divine nature, but also upor
His own personal experiences of fail
ure to have His own way as His mer,
humanity would have chosen to hav,
it. What could make more strons
or winsome the tie between Him anC
ourselves!
Yes, the not having our own way
if we are wise enough to recognize
the fact, is a blessing, and Throughout
all human history they have been tn,
happiest and most useful children o
God who have accepted this truth
and have tried to live in the light o
