What proofs can we give that our

words by his deeds, is giving real
proof that he is living for and in
Christ.
3. To assume the attitude of Christ
towards the world. 1t is easy enough
to say that we are Christians, but not
so easy to put on the meek, humble,
forgiving Christ. The meekness OF
Christianity is now, as ever, a stumb-

to forgive. A man, therefore, who
shows himself vigorous in restraining
his carnal self, who battles bravely
with the rising tide of carnal i'm.

for evil, proves that Christ is living
and speaking in him. Such u man

The Use of Flowers.

Flowers are used much more sensi-
bly, than they used to be. The alb
surd fashion of loading young woe
man down with a dozen or more
huge boquets, every one measuring
from fifteen to twenty inches across,
is no longer in vogue. The atrocious
custom died of its own Inappropriate
ness.
1t is possible even with the most
delicate blossoms, which are the es-
sence Of grace and refinement, to be
positively vulgar. The large COR
sage boquets, which were so popular
for two or'three years, seem to have
vanished, not to reappear, from the
very fact of their oversize and over
use. This is true as well of the bunch
of flowers for the street dress as for
the ball toilet. Flowers are not so
worn because of their wide and ex-
aggerated use, when they got out of
the hands Of women of taste and re-
tinement, into those of the sort who
bleach their hair and daub their faces.
The fashionables now permit them
selves only bunch of violets in the
spring, when craving for flowers
cannot be stifled. More colOring is
used in funeral flowers than ever. Sci
pieces are no longer used loose flow

Why should the stiff, waxen camel
las and the tube>rose be always used;
To some sensitive minds, these flow
ers are so associated with death, that
seen at any time, they only recall {
scene of mourning. Flowers at {
funeral are intended to console thu

Crops in the South.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 27.-The Manu-
facturers Records annual review of
the crop situation south, published
this week, notes the largest cotton
crop ever produced, and states that
farmers are less in debt than at any
time for twenty-five years.
For five years the cotton crop has
steadily increased from 6, sos, 900 bales
in 1867 to from 7,5OO,OOO to S,OOO,.
600, the estimate for the present crop.
The price has advanced with the
increase in production, the total value
of the last four crops, including cotton
seed, being about 81, 100000. The
value of this years crop is estimated
at $500, 100000, thus bringing the to-
tai value for five years up to $1,000
100000.
While cotton has thus been adding
50 enormously to the south's wealth,
corn, wheat, oats, tobacco, rice,
sugar, grasses, fruits and vegetables
have made great gains, and while
some of these crops, corn, for instance,
will this year fall little short of last
year, this difference in the corn yield
will be more than counterbalanced
by higher prices. From all over the
south correspondents write of the best
outlook for farmers since the war.
The record shows that in four years
the south has produced about $780,
600 bales of cotton, 1000, 100000 bush.
els of corn, 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels O
wheat, and 3l5, 100000 bushels of oats
the total value of these agricultural
products reaching the enormous ag
gregate of nearly SO, 500,000,00O.
With a cotton crop worth nearl!
5OO,OOO,00O, a corn crop that will
yield $25O,OOO,OOO; $75,OOO,OOO Q
wheat and oats added to rice, sugar
tobacco, vegetables, ETC., they south
agricultural products will this yea
reach at least 81, O55, 100000, or abou
$500, 10000 more than in 1880.

Bible Study,

Bible>listening! There is much of
it. 1t is of value; it is better than
nothing. 1t is easy; many enjoy it.
We find it in our churches, in our
Sunday>schools, in our schools and
colleges. Some imagine it to be Bible
study; some even so call it. But the
mistake is great. The sad fact is that
in the case of many who so deceive
themselves, Bible.study is becoming
a thing unknown, well nigh a thing
impossible.
Bible reading! There is very con-
siderable of this. 1t is of more value
than Bible-listening. 1t may not be
as easy; it may not he as enjoyable;
but it is more profitable. And yet,
how profitable is it? Are we not sat-
isfying ourselves with the less? Are
we not neglecting larger possibilities?
Have we not, in many directions,
and in many cases, much Bible-read-
ing that is called Bible.study-that
is really thought to be such?
Bible-studying! There is very lit
tie. Many who talk about it have
never met with it, or have not recog-
Missed it. What is 1t? The way to
find out is not to study a definition,
but to become acquainted in exper~
fence with the fact. When one can
clearly distinguish, in ones own prac-
tice, between Bible.listening, Bible
reading, and Bible-study then proba-
bly, one has. begun to becomeacquaint'
ed with the last.
Bible-study stands in direct relation
to Bible-listening and Bible-reading
1t fits one to do either, with profit
with intelligence, and Christian judg
ment. 1t prepares the congregation
to listen to eXpository preaching, the
Sunday-school to consider the lessor
in company with the teacher, witt
interest and independence ofthought
How often we sacrifice the lasting
good to the apparent edification o
the moment. Shall we do less Bible
listening, and less Bible-reading, tina
we may do more Bible-study? Shall
we do more Bible~study that we ma!

Rom. viii. 3-"For what the law
could not do" In verses IA we see
what the gospel is and what it has
done and is doing. 1t is greater
and better than the law; it delivers
from condemnation and death. There
are things which the law could not
do. 1t could not justify: it condemns
every transgressor. 1t could not
Sanctify: it has no power to make
one holy. 1t could not save: its SEN
tence of eternal death is pronounced
on all the human race, for all are sin>
ners Why could not the law do
these things? Why must we write,
"the law conld not do"? Not be-
cause of any defect in it; it is holy,
just, and good it is perfect: Its ina
bility in these respect results from its
very perfection it can in its very
nature only condemn ; it cannot ac-
quit, justify, and save. The defect is
in us-the law is weak through the
flesh. 1t is because of our depravity
that the law is powerless to justify,
sanctify, and save. Left under the
law there is no hope. But when all
seemed hopeless and lost, God inter-
posed. He opened the door Of hope.
He sent his own Son, with a nature
like his, one with himself, divine.
Yet he sent him in the likeness of
sinful flesh not with sinful nature,
but nature like ours, our nature in
all things except sin. So he was
divine and human; God manifest in
tie flesh God and man in two dis
tAct natures and one person for ever,
God so loved the world that he gave
ms only begotten Son,
But why did he send his Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh? 1t was fol-
sin, a sin offering, a sacrifice for
sin not simply on account of sin
though if there had been no sin, he
would not have been sent, but for 9
a sacrifice for sin. He came into the
world to suffer for sin, to make ar
atonement for sin, to be made sin fol
lis. This is why he came; and it i:
because he has suffered and died anC
made an atonement that there is hope
for sinners. He died for sin. Thus
he condemned sin in the flesh, in oul
nature condemned it;nOt only showed
his adherence of it, but punished it
endured the penalty of it for us an(
in our stead, that the righteousness o
the law might be fulfilled in us, tina
we might be justified and sanctified
Receiving Jesus Christ by faith a
our Saviour, we are accepted a
righteous, and the law is thus full
filled in our justification and thel
walking not after the flesh, but afte
the Spirit, the law is fulfilled in Ou
progress in sanctification, as led BY
the Spirit we grow in grace, go OIL
day by day perfecting holiness in tn
fear of God.
Here then we see the love of Coz
plying us and providing salvation
when we were lost, giving his Son t
take our place and die for our sins
We also see the only hope of sinners
They cannot be saved by the law;
can neither justify nor sanctify
Their only hope is in Jesus Chris
who has been made sin for them
through whom they mag be forgiveI
aad justified by his Righteousness;
and by whose indwelling Spirit the,
may be sanctifed and prepared 70

WHAT THE LAW COULD NOT DO

Another Old-Timar Gone

While out on the roundup near his
home at Florence last Saturday, James H.
Lemons horse stumbled, fell and rolled
over on to Lis rider, crushing him and
causing severe internal injuries. Mr..
Lemon was tenderly carried to his home
where he fingered until 2 a. m. Monday,
when death relieved his sufferings. Jas.
II. Lemon was born at Dublin, ireland,
on July 10, 1874, and was As years old.
He came to Fort Union, Mont, in 1868;
to Fort Benton in 1864; thence to Last
Chance gulch in 1866, where lie clerked
in a store until 1857. He then went to
Fort Ellis, where he was engaged as post
trader until 1871, after which hs was ell
gagged with E. e. Maclay Il Co. in the
stock business. He then clerked for
Geo. STEEL for two years and was after
ward with Broadwater & Co. two years.
He settled on his ranch in 1883, where he
has since resided. He preceded q. A.
Wells in the office of deputy revenue col
lector under Cleveland's administration.
He married Miss Sarah H. Lippenco,t at
Florence on Feb. Is, 1880, and to them
two children have been born. He also
leaves a brother and sister who live in
Philadelphia, Pa, and another brother
was accidentally drowned off the Golden
Gate several years ago.
Mr.. Lemon was held in high esteem by
all who knew HIM and he has ever been
marked MS being an upright and energetic
man. His wife and children are not the
only mourners for his loss.
The body will be brought to Great
Falls today and taken to Helena tor
