Helping the Minister.

Wallace is seven years old. Ever
since he was three he has been a
Sabbath-scheol boy. He loves Sabbath
school, but till lately has not liked
going to church.
It was so much pleaeanter, he
thought. to stay at home, as he was
sometimes allowed, with mamma, VINO
il an invalid, and listen to her stories
from the Bible and Our Little Ones.
One day last spring great change
eSme into Wallaces's life; his papa, a
machinist, was suddenly Killed.
When the next Sabbath came Wal
lace asked, "Mayn't come home attel
Sabbath school. .and stay with you?"
But his lonely, heart-broken mani
ma had the courage to say: mo, my
son. Remember papa will not be
there to day, and when the minister
looks from his pulpit and sees the
empty seat it may trouble him. | think
he will like TO see you IL papa's
place."
So that morning at the close of Sab
bath school the little man went al
once upstairs and took the seat his
father had occupied from week tt
week, with rare exceptions, for year:
back. ,
After service he hurried home to tel
his mother. II guess l helped him
little; cause he came and Spoke t.
me-"
Since then, every sabbath Wallace
feels that he has plsce TO fill in tn
church.
When sometimes the usher bring
strangers to that pew, the little boy b.
the door. standing up, makes his slen
der figure very small that they ma.
pass in, but never papa's seat to an!
one.
Not only the pastor, hut many o
us, while our hearts ache with pity
feel confident that such boy, will
such!a mother, will some day take hi
good fathers place in the church am
the world.-National Baptist.

The Salvation Army.

The Society Of Friends must now
give place to the Salvation Army as
the great peace church. They preach
peace and practice it, and at their an
nual meeting General Booth stated q.
They were they largest missionary or
ganization an earth, with over five
thousand officers at home, and more
than six thosand officers sboad. In
1891 they had 4, 1902 corps and outposts;
this year, 5, ,293. In 1891 there were 10,
452 officers; this year, H. ,ll3. They
had thirty-two newspapers and slX
magazines, the annual circulation
being 47,6O0,000. There were eighty
six training garrisons-that was to say,
eighty-siX colleges in their university.
They had twenty-five homes of rest for
sick and wounded officers. They oc!
cupied thirtyeight countries and col
onies. This year they had gone to
Western Australia, where they had
already got magnificent footing, and
converted some of the biggest black
gauards.
The Army preached salvation in
twenty-four different languages, and
had local officers and bandsmen to the
number of 31,713. They had forty
three rescue homes, seventytWo slum
corps, fifteen prison-gate homes, twelve
food depots, twentyfour shelters,
one inebriate home, and eleven eleva-
tors or factories, the total number of
social institutions being POS. In con-
nection with them 9l5 officers were en-
ployed. A large number of officers,
iasses, lived in the slums to do the
slum work-''angels" the people called
them, and so they were. More were
wanted. In connection with the res
cue work, ,4S4 lost creatures were re-
ceived up to last Christmas, and 972
since-nine hundred and seventy-two
girls!

TennysOn as a Preacher of Peace:

TennySOn aS Freacher Va etSS'
Tennyson was not a peace poet-he
was a war poet. He believed in war
q I'd loved to glorify it. Some of bis
b t poems are war-poems-hcw can
an, one think of him for moment as
a., reacher of peace"
Th is ones first thought in reading
such q heading as the above. The
great poet, whose death we are all
mourning, to whom we feel such debt
of gratitude for the ennobling and en-.
riching influence he has exercised on
our generation, missed one great op-
portunity for he never set himself to
opposed the war spirit.
He sought to glorify war and war
riors and yet now and then IN the
very act of doing this he unconscious
ly condemned the whole war system.
Take for example his spirited poem,
"The Charge of the Light Brigade"
Which of us could read it without a
thrill of emotion What heart could
fail to respond to its words of praise
for the splendid courage and self-sacri-
flee of our soldiers, or fail to feel in
dignant at the "blundered" that sent
them to their death?
"the soldier knew
Some one had blundered:"
The world is slowly waking up to
see that it is always because "some
one has blundered' that brave men
are sent to throw away their lives in
killing each other,-that there is al
ways better way of settling disputes
if we would but take the trouble to
find it.
But take the lines that follow:
"Their's not TO make reply.
Theirs not to reason Why,
Theirs but to do and die:''
How perfectly they describe the sys-
tenn under which our soldiers live, and
in describing how utterly though un-
consciously they condemn it ! Sol
diers must not reason, must not ques-
ton, but must obey orders whether
right or wrong. They must be con-
tent to be machines, or unreasoning
animals, without conscience, without
Intelligence.
"Theirs but to do and die!'
Is it right or fair that any human
being should be degraded to so low a
level as this?
"The great, the supreme, the over
topping factor of war is the suppress
sion Of the spiritual and the elevation
of the british elements of man."

The story is told of an eminent divine
and his bright boy that is not devoid of
instructiveness. The father had way
of saying to his son, when leaving
home, "Remember whose boy you
are"
The lad one day turned the tables by
calling out to his father Goodbye,
papa !; remember whose father you
are" .5.

Notes.

If the calves and colts are TUNED
ont in The ward to stand all day,
regardless of weather. and ted up
on the poorest folder in the barn,
it is easy to see that they will he
tough and hardy when they come
to maturity. But most Of them
will die or he spoiled by neglect
before they see HAT time.
1t is oil is much importance that
breeding SONS and ewes should be
good mixers as that the COWS
should. That is necessary if one
would raise good pigs and lambs.
The only way to obtain this is 10y
selecting and retaining as breeders
those that come from strains of
good mixers.
DO not drive the horses too rap
idly when first taken out OF the
barn. as the stomach and bowels
are full then, and do not drive too
rapidly when nearly at the end of
the srive. Let them come in cool
and nearly dried off, or else they
should be walked around until cool
ed off and then rubbed dry.
Because ii mare is not good for
anything else, it does not follow
that she will do to raise colts from.
Some that have been injured by ac-
cident have been put to breeding,
and have raised good colts, but
often such an injury may so effect
the Imagination of The animal as to
effect the colt, aud it will inherit
the effects Of the injury, at least as
far as to be liable to a weakness in
the same place. This is most apt
to hc the case when the hurt is not
so thoroughly recovered from but
that the mare suffers pain constant
~ or much of the time.
An Alabama farmer kept his
flock of 200 hundred sheep through
last Winter upon good straw and
II bushels of oats per day. As the
oats cost 30 cents a buShcl, this
was an expense of $50 or abou,
}6 cents per head toT the five
months feeding. The straw that
was eaten was changed into man
IRE that was worth more as a fer
tilizer to this years crop than the
straw would have been if it had all
been put into the manure heap.
Plenty OF good food increases the
size Of the eggs as well as improves
their quality, but if it makes the
fowls too fat, it will decrease tn,
number Of them.
What a shame it is that while
immense quantities of small fruits
are grown and marketed, there are
still thousands of farm houses
where none is seen. The old fash
toned, slipshod farmer considers
berry growing as too"pddlin4
work. for him. He hates to gel
out Of the old Iuts.

lence is maintained with reference to the
fact that in this respect the L nited States

rates for wool have been kept higher in

reduced to the consumer. In IA sec re OF
