FACULTY OF DISCRIMINATION.
Instead Of burdening the mem
ory with technicalities, Christ pro-
vided for the quickening Of the
moral faculty in man, and thus, in
spiritual things, acted in relation
to the human soul as in temporal
things God had done. God gives
man power to get products out of
the soil; but instead of saving this
must be eaten and that must be
refused, He gives the power, call it
instinct or reason, which saves him
who rightly uses it from noxious
plants and animals. 1t was better
to give the faculty of discrimina-
tion than to label all the products
of the earth. A spirit is better
than a catalogue. There are few
things more remarkable in life than
mans instinct by which he discov-
ers what to eat. Every day he is
called upon to choose, even so far
as the body is concerned, between
life and death. The life of the
body Is exposed to constant risk.
In nearly every field there are roots
or leaves which might injure or
even destroy the health of the
body; vet man. eontrives to make a
selection adapted to his nature.
These poisonous roots are like so
many temptations; they are to the
body what vices are to the soul;
yet speaking generally, man is su-
perior to them, he refuses if not
resists, and saves himself. How is
this? Is there not spirit in man,
and does not the inspiration of the
Almighty give him understandings
How has God provided for material
civilization? BY the spirit which
IS IN man. In the same way has
Christ provided for intellectual ex-
pansion and growth When Christ
opened the eyes of the blind, He
did not require to create another
universe that the vision might
have another object to rest upon;
the universe was there waiting to
be looked at. 60 the universe of
truth has existed from the begin
ming, and as there are some dark
fields Of knowledge to be explored,
some intricate problems to solve,
he has promised the spirit to guide
men into ali truth; emphaticallv
to guide men, the very word inn
plying difficulty, danger, and new
evolutions and combinations; not
only to guide, but to guide into all
truth; not some departments, but
into all; not into external views of
truth, but into its very essence, so |
that nsen might know truth under
every disguise, and be able to elm
mate it from every sophistry and
every hereSv.

ESSENTIALS 70 HAPpxgEss.

Wealth, station, applause, lux
ury, which are SO often sought. are
not necessary to happiness; they
often minister to it, but it can be
had without them. Health is more
essential, though there are some
happy invalids. A moderate sup
ply Of the physical comforts of life
seems needful, though happiness
and poverty have dwelt together.
The exercise Of our faculties in
some useful, and, if possible, CON
genial direction, is large contrib

both disastrous to happiness. Sue
cessful endeavor Of every rightful
kind, obedience to the voice of con-

want our road laws changed. Town
supervisors duties should be
clearly defined. All Jobs of

the lowest bidder, and all
expenditures under $500 should be

they can't take town contracts, but
they do all the same. And right

What a Creamery Does For a
Community.
j. d. Mores, Of Martinburg,
Mo-, in writing to II. Nick. Wilson
& Co., Of St. Louis, concerning the
creamery started in that town last
spring, says:
We have been running now
three and one half months. First,
you doubtless remember, Just as
we were about to start up, butter
took an unheard Of tumble in price
for that time of year, from IS to
20 cents. per pound, a week or two
after to Is cents, and a little later
to 129 cents.
Now the question with us direc-
tors of the creamery was, how
could we induce the old native
Missourians that knew nothing Of
the creamery business and the ups
and downs Of the butter market,
to bring in their milk. Just be-
fore we started up we offered 80
cents per 100 lbs. Of milk for the
first two weeks. Butter was then
worth IS cents. Then came the
rub, a day or two before we started
up, butter dropped to 90 cents.
We could not 90 back on our offer
to pay 80 cents for the first two
week, so we paid it and lost some
money. We next paid 20 cents,
but butter again dropped to .16
cents, another loss. We then
dropped our price to 60 cents, and
butter tumbled to 12aa cents, a loss
again. Then we dropped our price
to SO cents on July LIST, and we
have had no loss since. Total loss
| a little over 500.
We have paid all expenses since
July list, and'at present are selling
all the butter that we can make at
17 cents, and we are q little more
than paying expenses.

The Charity Organization,

The charter for this institution
authorizes the summary dispo-
sition of beggars, tramps, and
uncared-for children wherever
found. In its workings it proves
to be the great artery whence
flows patronage to various
branches. Children may be le-
gally bound to the Home, if it
is proved that they are not be-
ing brought up in comfort and
in morality. They may be
sent to the hospitals if sick, and
to good homes if able to work.
While in the Home they receive
instruction. There is no class
of criminal, or wanderer for
whom a suitable refuge may not
be found by this charity. Mrs.
VIM. Bruce is President, and
her efforts to swell the funds,
have been most interchangeable and
praiseworthy. There are ten
children at the Home at present,

grateful for the care bestowed
upon her. Her case was a pc
culiarly appealing one, as re-
ported by the daily papers.

as she stroked the gown Of her
benefactress the other day, thus
timidly expressing the gratitude
that swelled her orphaned heart.
Now that the winter is COM

received and conveyed promptly
to the Home. The institution
is out of debt, and the treasury
is being judiciously uomanaged.
