THE TRINITY REVIVAL.

Rev. Mr.. Hammer breaches II Stirring
Sermon.
Rev. w. L. Hammer, pastor of Greene
Memorial Church, preached at Trinity
Tabernacle last night. The congrega
ton was rather slim, and the lack of
enthusiasts seemed to suggest the sub
ject to the pastor of the big church with
a thousand members.
"Be astonished, oh, we heavens." be-
gan the text, which was the 18th and
l4th verses of the I'd chapter of Jere-
miah.
Mr.. Hammer spoke of the revival
which had been going on for over a
week, and told the members they need
not expect anything at all, for they
were spiritually dead, and had no part
or parcel in the spirit of Gods grace.
You sit STILL" said he pointing a
warning finger around. "If love FOR
sinners moved Christ to quit his home
in heaven, come to earth and die on
the cross. should not love compel you to
action here? God calls on the Heavens
to be astonished at such state OF
affairs. l tell you when church calls
on anything else save God, it takes up
its march to desolation.''
Mr.. Hammers sermon was one which
made an impression. He scored the
lukewarm members in 4 merciless man
ner and stirred those who were present
to action The meeting was very in
teresting and doubtless accomplished
much good in the interest of Trinity
Church

Testing Dairy Cows.

| The editor of the American Datryman

| the Rural New Yorker. on the subject
| Of testing cows he IL one of those old
| reliable professors that had hand in

DDS OF oil test began, and yet uE-
| like many Of the same class OF
dairy experts while he is willing

| oil test he still contends for the butter

| he Il right. as he suggests there should
| he A certain standard established-first
a. to what should be put in a pound of
butter. and we think professors could
determine that. provided always that
they give the exhibitor full notice be
| forehand, 30 that he knows what stan
dard his cows have to work TO. We DO
not believe In any market values Of
butter, but simply general result that
may be reached BY the ordinary COW,
though Of course we see multitudes Of
objections in establishing the churn test.
How. for instance, can you take one
hundred pounds of milk each from two
herds, one jersey and the other Holstein,
and make fair test by the churnl TO
make the trial absolutely Just we must
take the milk from each herd warm from
the cow. To be old fashioned enough to
suit all the parties. we set it In shallow
pans in the same room, letting the
temperature take care Of itself OF
course, we skim both at the same
time. say thirty six hours from setting,
and set the cream away under the same
conditions. that is side by side. To the
practiced dairyman at twelve hours one
seems ripe, and the other not. what
shall he do IL he varies In his practice
one from the other there will be a lively
kick, so both go In the churn together
Just as he expected the unripe cream
comes out behind. Under the rule of
same treatment he is protected. but
there is temperature of churning and
time OF stopping the churn-working
out the buttermilk and amount
of working. Then comes sailing
say one ounce Of salt to the
pound of butter for both, but TO his
praciiced eye one needs twice as much
salt as the other. However, the rule
prevails and ne salts as directed Now
he sets the butter aside rs the rule pre-.
scribes, but he finds at the expiration OF
the prescribed time one batch of butter
has taken up more salt than the other,
and he is expected to work both patches
the same under the rule. He does that
and finds that the result has come out lust
as he expected, and that is that the rule
has worked different result from what
he would have expected If his Judgment
had been allowed to govern the butter
making instead OF certain set OF iron
rules, prescribed by the wisest of men.
