God established the Jewish Church and
tried to gather men into great organization
for religious purposes. He sent prophet after
prophet to stir up the people, but many such
messengers were abused and large numbers of
them slain. Their number was replenished,
but treatment became even more cruel. At
length Jesus came in person. AnimO5ity ragged
against him and he was put to DEATH "He
went into far country" Heaven; assembled.
He appointed ministry with power to con-
tinue their number and build up the Church.
The invitation for membership was broadened
and Gentiies were welcome. But the ministry
was treated shamefully; many OF them became
martyrs. When Christ comes again how will
he treat those who have actually murdered his
representatives, Longfellow's lines may ap-
ply:
Though the mills Of God grind slowly yet they
grind exceeding small;
Though with patience he stands waiting. with ex-
actness grinds he ALL"
And George Eliot had the idea: "That is
the bitterest yoke of ALTO wear the yoke of
our own wrong doing"

the bird from standing straight when

HOUSES FOR HOMES.

The Painting Should be in Harmony with
the Surroundings.
In frame houses there is, unluckily,
an almost infinite variety of colored
paints. When one passes between the
rows Of small and cheaplE-ornamented
frame houses which disfgure our sub
urbs and the many parks" which run
for miles beside our railroads, one
could almost wish that paints had new
er been invented. Are our carpenters
and contractors and the buyers of their
wares all born color-blind that they
can endure without suffering the va
rush past our aching eyes? Red, blue,
green, yellow, and sometimes all four.
or even more, on one luckless house.
But the fault Is not altogether in the
colors- A red house may be even beau
tiful if the tint be dark and soft, like
that Of the sumac berries, and half
hidden in masses of green. But it is
an afront to the eyes when spread
over the boards of a high and much
be-angled house broiling on a sand
bank BY an unfinished roadway, with
out even bush to shelter it. The once
much-derided white house with green
blinds seems now 10 be regaining
favor, and It has at least the advaut-
age of making no pretensions to aught
but neatness, cheer and comfort With
plenty of green about It, it also is even
beautiful Besides the white, and the
deep soft red IN suitable situa atoms,
there is good combination of cream

Lead with white trimmings, and there
are few tints of gray or brown which
may be used to advantage, but only in

always at the same color, using the
lightest for the body of the house, and
the darker for trimmings and window

MANAGEMENT OF PIGS.
It Is Serious Mistake to Use Only On
Kind of Feed.

II Is Q Serious Mistake to Use Only One
Kind of Feed.
A pig is not gentlemanly animal,
says Farming World. The term pig
headed has come to be looked upon as
expressing the very lowest form Of
stupidity and selfishness. Much as we
might wish to defend him, we have to
admit that there appears to be rolled
into one carcass a greater amount of
pure cussedness" than is found in any
other domestic animal, the mule ex-
cepted- The pig is a cannibal of the
most revolving order, often devouring
Its own young. 1t Is a gormandizer of

anything for the good of others-pooh,

There is just one trait in his character
that makes Us almost ashamed of hav-

other animals refuse; my home is any

as to the laws of sanitation.
