The announcement of the subject,
''Why are not the people saved 2"
brought out large crowd at the SER
vice last Sunday afternoon. After the
usual preliminary service Rev. T. NJ.
Johnson opened the discussion announc-
ing as the text, Jeremiah 1922, us
there no balm in GiIead? is there no
physician there: why then is not the
health of the daughter Of my people
recovered - Mr.. Johnson said that
Gods Willingness to save was conceded
by Christians everywhere. That He
also possessed the power to save, was
equally true and equally believed. Mr..
Johnson here told Of his repeated visits
to some Of the New York City rescue
missions where he had heard ringing
testimonies from men and women, who
had been saved and wonderfully kept
by the power Of God. Most of them
were abandoned characters, from the
slums of the great metropolis.

The last cause of failure was. the
secretary said, the saddest of all. We
neutrallze the power of the truth by
our Inconsistencies. The gospel prom
lses certain things but Gods protested
witnesses say by their lives often that
1t will not, or does not do those things
for them. and hence the sinner has a
right to infer that the Bible is not true
as he does not see its promises fulfilled
IN those who profess to believe them.
There is no lodging the logic of the
statement. for unless Christians live
out the Bible the sinner can not know
It" they are foolishness to him.
The Bible promises joy, We seem IN
happy and show it by our lack of

After singing and prayer, Mr.. Ros-
sitter spoke on some reasons why the
people are not saved. He assured
those present that the had no DISPOSE
ton to be harsh or critical, but only
designed to help himself and others to
find the cause Of failure, and if possible
the remedy. He was sure God was
not to blame, and that He desired the
people saved. He called attention to
the fact that when Christ promised to
send the Holy Spirit to convict the
world OF sin, that that spirit is to come
upon Christian hearts first, and then
through them He is to convince the
world of sin. s. When he has come upon

Mr. Horace Hood then spoke on the
agent God uses in the conversion of
souls. He said that the great COM
mission given by Christ. was to the
whole church, then existing, as 100
were present in the upper room in
Jerusalem, awaiting the "promise of
the Father,''. which Jesus had told
them would empower them for the
work. Man is frequently mentioned
IN the Scripture as an active agent in
the conversion Of souls, as in James
500, l Corinthians AIS, man is free
moral agent, and God, by His spirit,
enlightens the mind through, and by
means of the truth, and some individual.
Almost every Christian will testify
that the truth was presented to them
through some person, who was inter-
ested III his salvation. 1t is doubtful
whether soul was ever brought to
Christ except through the prayer and
effort of some friend or relative, or
pastor. The Word of God is represented
as an instrumental sword, a fire. a
hammer, &c..-and God deigns to use
men to ''hold it forth" If God
coerced men against their wills and
without the aid Of the truth and some
one to carry it, why are not the heather
Christianized? Paul says that they
can not believe on him of whom they
have not heard, and how shall they
hear without a preacher? Romans
1914. The great God uses human
agency to carry the truth to men in
darkness, and in proportion as they
are faithful and true to Him by just SO
much are they useful in bringing sinners
to Christ.

\ third cause of our weakness is
found in our love of the world. We
indulge in things and go in places
where Jesus cannot 60, and He is
driven from our heart as our comforter.
and we must now plunge in deeper to
I'LL up the vacancy. But since Jesus
has been i'll your heart it is too big for
this world. We are told to put off and
cruelty the flesh and its passions and
lusts. and every sinner knows we are
inconsistent i'll grasping after the
pleasures of this vain world, and thus
we loose our Influence.

The second reason may be found in
your unwillingness to make sacrafces
tor the salvation Of the world. Self
denial is a test Of discipleship. How
many Of US sit down at the beginning
OF the year and take an honest account
OF our resources and ask ourself, where
can | deny myself for the cause of God
this year: Some of US are not willing
to deny ourselves the hmtfM Injuries
OF lie, and yet we wonder why we are
not happy in our religion. How mis-
erly we give-and others refuse to
pay or retard the cause Of God by our
carelessness in meeting our obligations
TO our church.

lines are too unpopular for serious atten-

word OF unerring prophecy nevertheless
of course popular errors are always
placed in advance OF unpopular truths
We must therefore continue our difficult
task OF extracting the venomous fang of
prejudice, and hammer away at the thick
skull OF public opinion until a penetra-

Too much stimulating food causes

Fowls that fatten easily should
be made to take plenty of exercise

A hen will eat a bushel of corn
year and will lay 10 dozen eggs
in the same time.
1t is better to have scrub stock
that can hustle for themselves than
to have good stock and let them be
neglected.
One of the easiest and best WAYS
of whitewashing is to use a good
spray pump, especially on the walls

orchard and Garden.

In the garden it is more import
ant to retain moisture in the soil
than to get rid of it.
When crowded for room it will
be best to weed out the poor plants
rather than to crowd the good ones
to their detriment.
In planting the small fruit plot,
arrange the planting so that the
greater part of the cultivation can
be done with horse cultivator.
With raspberries, to have good
and abundant fruit, you must have
strSnjg canes; and to grow strong
canes, they must not be crowded.
Too much shade is not favorable
to the growth of vegetables in the
garden, or of flowers or grass on
the lawn. Do not plant too closely.
Careful pruning in good season
helps in the reduction of superb
bundant crops, but does not alto
gether do away with the necessity
for thinning.
Keep the garden tools clean. In
no other way can good, thorough
work be done so quickly and as
eas lily as with good tools kept in
good working order.
The majority of our best grapes
are inclined to bear too much; and
overcropping leads to retrogression
in the size and quality of the fruit
as we'll as the vigor of the vine.
One advantage with snail fruits
is that they can be raised while ole
is waiting for the trees to come into
bearing. On new farms this is Of
ten quite an argument in their IA
vor.
Young trees usually produce
larger and more juicy fruit than
old ones, because the materials
which enter into the fruit are con-
Quoted through shorter ana more
open courses.
In stalking trees much damage
may be avoided by using strips of
leather or canvas to tie the tree to
the stake, rather than to use a cord.
Tall, slender trees especially need
stalking and tying.

A NARROW DECISION.

Judge Cstlin, of Sacramento, has just
decided q suit against ths Bee, which
gives a new Interpretation to the law oI
libel. The Bee published the arrest OF
q citizsn charged with crime. Before
making the publication the proprietors
Of the Bee mad the alleged facts in the
case submitted to the defendant, and
got his version of tho affair, which it
published with the charges against him.
The accused on trial wss acquitted, and
then brought suit against the news
paper for damages for libel. The case
was tried before the judge, a jury being
waived. and the court found for the
plaintiff, placing the damages at $500,
although it admitted that the libsl was
published without malice. OF course
the Bee has appealed from this decision.
Il this Is good law, then privileged pub
licstions in criminal matters will be cir
cumscribed to very narrow limit. The
essence of lioel consists in malice and
whenever it is shown that there is no
malice, and the publication was made
from good motives and for justi6sble
ends. no charge OF libel will hold.
Where 3 Newspaper has taken the
pains that the Bee did in this
case. to publish the antidote with
the poison, malice OF any kind
can not reasonably be implied. The
language of the constitution is clear
and unmistaksble. The alleged libel
must have been published maiiciously,
and without good motives or justifable
ends. Where citizen is arrested on a
grave charge, it is justifsble end in
the publisher to make the public ac-
qusinted with the facts, The public
has the right TO know the facts leading
to the arrest, and if the publisher
takes the best means in his power to as
certain them, and submits them to the
public, he has done all he can do to
escape the law of libel. The fact that
the accused is subsequently acquitted
cuts no figure in the matter. Acquit-
tails are often brought about where con-
victions should be had. 1t needs no
special citation OF cases to show that
such is q matter of almost daily occur
renee. The supreme court will certainly
take a much wider and more liberal
view OF the rights of the press than has
Judge CRtlin in this case.

WHAT can be the object OF miscresnts
who have been plugging up our zanjss
and making attempts to destroy the
utility of the outiaIl sewer2 Some all
lege that the reason for making these
vile attempts is to create work in the
repair Of the water and sewage COURSES
for the unemployed. But men who are
willing and anxious to work are not the
ones to resort to such criminal practi ces
in order to create q demand for labor.
1t will be found, when the miscreants
are detected, as they will be sooner or
later, that they belong to the "h oboS
class, and that work is the very last
thing they want to fud. The authors OF
these objectionable outrages, if caught,
will stand a good chance of being
lynched by the irrigators whose crops
have been imperilled by their dastardly
scts. There is no class of people in our
city who are harder workers than the
men who have small holdings which
they cultivate, and deoend upon the
water supplied by the zanjas to irrigate
thei! acres and get returns for their Ia
Dor. No true workingman would for a
moment conceive the idea of running
these deserving cultivstors. We must
have in our midst anarchists who be-
lieve that destruction OF public works,
no matter now needed they may be, is
a praiseworthy act. The suspected
ones should be "shadowed," and if the
crime is brought home to them no pun.
ishment ia too severe to expiste their
crime. As far as has been ascertaned
no great injury has been done to the
outiall sewer. That great and bene-
fetal work should be carefully watched,
and preserved from the vsnda acts of
the wrstches who have tried so hard to
plug up aud render useless our irrigat-
ing zaujas. 1t was Mirabeau who said
to one of the sectious. List the knife OF
the guilloline fall on those wretches who
would wreck any public work in Paris. "

room that his life has been sham and
a pretense. How Breckinridge has had
the nerve to face decent people after the
admissions he has made under the pres
