The Farmer and the Newspaper
Man.-Many men think that news
paper men are persistent dunners. BY
way of comparison let US suppose
that Farmer raise 1000 bushels of
wheat year and sells this to 1000 per-
sons in al parts of the country, a great
portion of them saying, II will hand
you q dollar in a short time" The
farmer does not want to be small and
saysall right. Soon the 1000 bushels
are gone, but he has nothing to show
for It, and then he realizes he has
fooled away his whole crop, and its
value to him is due in thousand lit
tie dnblets, consequently he is serious
ly embarrassed In hia business, because
bis debtors, each owing him dollar,
treat it as q small matter and think it
would not help much. Continue this
kind of business year in and year out,
as the publisher does, how long will
he stand it? A moments thought
will convince any one that publisher
has cause for persistent dunning.

wholly on how the sins are covered
and who covers them. "He that
covers his own sins shall not prosper" !"
These two coverings, though they
may in some ways and from some eyes
hide our sins, are infinitely different.
For God to cover our sins is a great
