Generally speaking we may BE- said 10
be the most interested in whatever Is the
most interesting 20 Us; and seeing il WAS
a hard sight for the hay crop ever since
the snow went of, have watched II
with unusual solicitude. IL Is now wet
enough for all kinds of vegetation, snd
II the weather continues favorable there
NAV be three-fourths OF crop.
There never was better time 10 see
and study the analogy between the re-
production, growth and decay Of the sn
imal aud vegetable Kingdoms than the
present moment. The tiny trees aud
plants are Just out from the seed and be-
ginning 10 grow, leach after his kind.
Some one wrote a book several years
ago, 10 which he intended 10 prove the
resurrection and immortality Of man by
the works OF nature alone, or entirely in-
dependent Of revelation. But he utterly
failed in his theology, since there is not
a hint within the realms OF nature on
which t0 build such doctrine. Theory
is one thing, aud truth quite another.
The world does seem 70 be improving
about here az least. as the following eN
amples will show: Charles Swan OF Bry-
ant Pond, who made u y visit the first
Of the week, after using tobacco for
seven years, has quit the habit, and,
what Is more, he has dropped all the
diviuely prohibited words out Of his yo
cabulary. We congratulate Mr.. Swan
on his personal reformation, and hope he
will 90 on until he becomes what the
great apostle calls new creature.
And here is the other. \ man sat down
on the ground at the celebration last
Wednesday. at the same time laying
down his umbrella az his side. On lesv-
ing the place he forgot his umbrellas, but
five hours after he missed IL, and going
back 10 the place found it still there.
This il all the more remarkable, since
umbrellas are by many considered as
common property.
But that the world is not quite all con-
verted vet is obvious, IL the following
item is true which find in the Christian
Herald: IAN English ststistician COM
puies that il Queen Victoria's subjects
we're averaged and classified according
TO religion, every group of eight would
contain one Christian, two Mohammed-
ans and five hesthen.'
