and medicine.
We each of us have our own ideas on
these subjects, which are deeply rooted
within our beings, and contrary argument
generally only tends to aggravate and
arouse hatred.

investigative turn which you present In
your writing aud argument.

shyly listening TO the debates; now and
then half aloud giving bis own views on
some Of the eloquence he is listening TO.
That's right brother that We should let
ourselves be heard and understood, and
not set our ideas and thoughts aside with
out a consideration for those of Others we
never saw or knew. But let US reason
together; read the thoughts of others;
reason upon the ideas of other minds;
study ont the philosophy and logic of
their thought If there any be. compare
with our own notions and thus be able TO
judge or decide upon a general idea from
what we read and infer in our own minds.
This. we NAV cav, is nearly the entire
object of our reading and conversation

DEAR FRIENDs-It will hardly do to
o mplain about others not writing when
one does not fulfill his or her own duty in
that direction. Without asking. you will
pardon one who uses the pen to so little
purpose.
But just this once it Is my object TO &C.
complish a purpose. You have all read
the plans of the committee for sheltering
the members ofthe II. l.. G. during the re-
union at Chicago. You likewise have had
circular upon circular sent to You from the
different Chicago hotels. In order TO Sc
cure room in any OF the lodging houses it
is necessary to make deposit of from 3
upward and then one is never sure that
the house is not an air castle.

they once had an eye they might have
seen God; but they refused TO see, and
thereby waived the right to see. Whose
fault was it? And Is this the doctrine
you 30 much abhor? No. And when. in
another place, Drummond says: Men
have a vast capacity for God" he states
truth perfectly in harmony with the rest
OF the book.
Sorry you did not get even biscuit,
Lone Tramp" You could not have beeu
very hungry, tor the wheat was there,

mond, was at fault.
You object to two kinds OF liie-partic-
ularly from tho same source-and ask:
What evidence have we thsttman re-
quires a new germ of life 10 become a
Christian, member of the kingdom of
hoaven?' Well, I'll tell you If man
wants to become n Christian the first
thing we would expect of him would be
for him to become a follower of Christ.
If ne is follower of Christ
then he certainly has faith in Hin,
believes IN Him. He accepts what he be-
lieves and therefore accepts Christ, and
In doing so Is accepted by Christ and
passes from death unto life" or, if you
please, is born again" If a man is a
Christian it implies all the foregoing.
Christ says He came that men might have
lie. What hfeP Not physical life. Men
had that already; but spiritual life
eternal life, which Christ gives to all who
accept Him. And if men have not this
life they are not Christians, they cannot
be. Is there anything unreasonable about
this? But" you say. Christ said, Suffer
the little children to come unto me. for of
such is the kingdom of God There
fore, man is by nature in the kingdom"
But such cannot be the truth Children
are "of the kingdom" by grace and not by
nature. Christ came TO take away the
'sin of the world the condemnation the
world was under because of Adams
SIM Now. men are only condemned for
their own sins. not for Adams
Sin is the transgression of a known law.
Little children, therefore, not knowing
the law, cannot sin, and so are uncon-
demned and this 10 why they are "of the
kingdom of God" But men who have
sinned are told TO repent and become as

of the schoolroom. Then she stopped and
looked around with amazement. What

Town? They did not rush up and kiss
her face as she expected; but all were
very silent and shame faced At second
thought the mystery was not so hard to
solve, Tor when Naomi learned that
she had succeeded in getting the
prize. she answered her mother
in such loud voice that Mr.. Strong, the
teacher. heard her. SO that morning he
told his school that she had won the prize
They were very much abashed and real

that there was more in life than mere ex-

ST. PAUL, July 20. Messrs. Andrew

Osler and Taylor coming West. While
in the city they called upon state and

Japan III Tea Raising.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-About 10
years ago the then commissioner of
agriculture, under direction of congress,
expended a small appropriation made
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the tea leaf could be grown in any part
of the United States In such quantities
as would warrant the fostering OF an
industry for commercial purposes. The
result of tie experiment which was
made in one of the Southern states
demonstrated that the soil was too dry,
the average temperature too low and
that it would require much irrigation
and outlay of much money and care to
carry out the project.
It was accordingly abandoned by the
government as failure. The trial was
since expended nothing in further ex-
periments. Not long since DIR. Charles
Sheppard wrote to ex-Secretary Rusk
requesting his cooperation in further
experimenting with the production OF
| tea. On the doctors request Secretary
Rusk wrote the secre airy of state 10
request the United States consuls at
the various tea ports TO send samples OF
the seed of the tea grown there. The
| seed was forwarded to DR. Sheppard,
which action endel VI atever pecuniary
interest the department. had in the ex-
| pertinent.

began the propagation of the plant. He
has made report 10 the secretary OF

partment in growing the leaf, and is
