We want religion for both worlds,
for this because We are living in it, for
the next because we are going to it
one that prepares for the next 10y right
living in tbis-a religion that softens
the step and gives melody to the voice,
that checks Impotence and irritation
and gives seif-controi religion not
merely for the church and the prayer
meeting, but for business, for every
day life; religion of both faith and
works, as founded on faith; a religion
OF principle as we'll as feeling, Of right
habit as well as occasional impulse.
that projects the honey moon into the
harvest moon, and makes the happy
home like the tig-tree, bearing at once
the beauty of the tender blossoms and
the glory of the ripened fruit a religion
that shall level the ruts and gullies and
rocks 10 the pathway of life aud give
joy in that pathway to all who are in it.

reau, for the Week ending April 10.
Bulletin NOT.
The weather record for the week urder con-
sheraton shows u marked deficiency III the
principal characteristics: Rainfall, tempera-
tnre and sunshine, The week closed with a
cool wave moving westward to the middle At
lantic, and being followed by an area of low
barometer which promises warmer weather for
Louisiana, with light rains in the northern por-
tion today and Sunday.
In the issue of the National Crop Bulletin at
Washington. d. c., the first Of March has been
chosen as the beginning of the crop season, and
departures of rainfall aud temperature from
the normal will be computed from that date
A review of the weather that has prevailed in
Louisiana since March 1st shows anything
but normal conditions. AT the New Or
leans station the deficiency in temper
ature up to last night was 12l degrees, or nearly
three degrees daily, while the rainfall for the
past forty six days has been 296 inches rs COM
pared to a normal fall OF 8.3S inches, but lit
over one third the amount usually received i'll
that time.
The temperature deficiency for tho past sew
On days has averaged about five degrees per
day, and the backward condition OF all crops
can be mainly traced to this cause.
Some cotton was planted during the week
very small percentage OF tie whole crop, how
ever. Corn is looking yellow Tor want Of
warmth and sunshine; the stand is fairly good,
and the fields well worked and free from grass.
Plant cane continues very promising, though
like all other crops has grown but slowly dur
Ing the past week. The stubbe Is backward.
never having recovered fully from the March
freezes.
In many places the rice fields have been Wis
tied by worms and bugs which have destroyed
the seed to such an extent as to necessltate
considerable replanting; 1t is not known
whether these vermn have appeared generally
or not.
Vegetable gardens and Irish potatoes are
looking well, their principal need being rain.
Reports as to fruit are more encouraging. and
n fair crop il anticipated.
In the strawberry districts that crop is re-
ported as ripening slowly. The correspondent
at Roseland reports no shipments to date, but
crates have already been marketed from Ham
mono, bringing excellent prices. The pros
poets are for "a good harvest.

Building Association Notes.

In the appointing of auditing conf
mittees associations ought to consider
above all things the fitness Of men Sc
lected. No one should be appointed
who is not acquainted sufficiently with
the system of book keeping in use to be
able to examine the accounts intelli-
gently for himself. 1t may be well
enough to select men who will attend
meetings and sit around idly, while the
secretary, who has kept the books
through the year, is asked to make up
the report, and when this is done, al
low the committee to sign it; but ii, I'D
time, it is found that too much conf
dence has been placed in the overwork-
ed and perhaps at first unwilling officer,
and the association "quits loser" these
careless auditors may then realize the
responsibility of the position. The
maledictions Of the poor wronged will
follow them to the grave. Too iDuch
attention cannot be given to the ac-
counts of building associations. The
work of the auditing committee is a
sacred trust.-American Building Asso-
citation News.

Judgment, the enemies of civilization.
They make the rich richer and tho poor
poorer. They put few in palaces, but
they put many in prisons, The home
