the preacher" were this: What is
first-rate farming?' 1t might be an
swered in two ways. The answer might
be-; 1T is the observance of such and
such laws as to soil, seed, climate and
seasons But another answer might be:
1t is a carload of oranges to the acre
and the soil left free from weeds or in
jury The text answers the question,
What is perfect religion?' in very much
the same fashion. Instead of saying it
is regeneration, conversion, justiflca-
ton, faith, repentance, sanctification, and
so on, 1t sums up the results. II Is visit
ing the fatherless and widows and liv-
ing holy life. This is religion defined
by Its fruits.
Usually we look at religion the other
way, dwelling on the state of the heart
the theory and creed of the theologians
This Is all well in its place. Agricultural
colleges serve purpose. Farmers
periodicals are useful. To study works
on drainage, fertilizers, implements and
the like will be of profit. But the model
farm actually realized is the grand thing
to have. The results are the vital, in
valuable thing. Not that there is any
quarrel between Paul and James. be-
tween faith and works There is never
any conflict between true theory and
right practice. Right practice to be right
must come from right theory, known to
be right or unknowingly stumbled upon.
But theory simply held Is dead theory.
It.must be used-must be live, moving

Karma is the universal tendency Of
nature towards equilibrium. 1t Is the
never-failing coordination of effect to
cause, the inevitable reaction of every
act, bringing sure and exact justice to
every one for thought, word and deed.
The Anugita says: Whatever actions he
performs. whether good or bad, every
thing done In a former body must neces-
sarily be enjoyed or suffered. Reincar
nation Is necessary incident to the car
rying out OF the law of Karma. Chris
tians generally believe in the immortal
ity OF the soul; but If the soul is to be i'm
mortal in the future it must have been
so In the past-infnity has neither end
nor beginning. AS well try to imagine a
rope with only one end as future of in
finity with no past.
The Bhagavad Gita tells us that in or
der to get out of this endless series of
birth and death we have to rise above
the reach of Karma, and this is to be
done by non-attachment to results of
our actions-to do everything for the SUI
preme.
In The Voice of Silence we read, "to
live to serve humanity, this is the first
step"

I'VE are then to see what religion is to-
day by Looking at what 1t bears. 1t in
wolves doing something and doing
some thing apart from mere self-interest
Ito visit the widow and fatherless.
These stand Tor the weak and powerless.,
the needy and suffering. They are rep
resentative words. 1t is the Bible fash
ion to describe by an instance instead OF
by dry and philosophic definitions. 1t
means doing good, unselfish effort and
benevolence as a habit
And the method Is somewhat strict
ly enjoined. 1t must not be by riding
along as we have read of some kings do
ing in a gilded coach, behind four pranc-
ing stceds, tossing out gold and silver
pieces for the fatherless and widows to
gather, II they could. Pure religion Is
personally meeting. personally helping
others. 1t Is visiting the widows anc
fatherless. Giving money with many Is
hard, but giving self is harder. But ever
since the day spring from on high hath
visited us, visited the halt and blind, the
lepers and outcast beggars, ever since
the Son Of God visited this needy world
there Is no pure religion without pres
ent. personal effort Those who do such
work must see wretchedness, must come

with the worst and saddest in human
nature. But what Is Christianity If this
is not?
HE who has not so learned Of Christ
has not learned at all. 1t is not a mere
mutual beneficiary association. We are
to do good to the household Of faith. but
we are not to stop there. Christ visited
the outcast woman of Sychar. He did
not wait for people to come to him. He
went about doing good. This Is applied
Christianity and the Christian world
needs to lay greater stress on this spirit
and service at our very doors. If a man
see his brother have need, and shutteth
up the bowels of his compassion from
him, how dwelleth the love of God in
him? That isn't Gods kind Of love nor
the kind Of love to God that he will re-
gard. We need more Christians like
William r. Dodge. The ends Of the world
ring of his benef1cence, but not less the
suffering and destitute in his own vicin-
ity.
But the text calls for more than acts
Of benevolence. The whole habit Of life
is to be in accord with the benevolence.
That is to be done. and so is all the rest
unspotted from the world. To find spots
on your face you ask some other person
or a mirror which some other person has
made. You cannot well ask others it
they see spots on you. and this tells why
visiting is put before keeping unspotteo.
You can ask yourself, When did do
kindness personally to other?' And this
attempting to do good to others will
reveal the need Of being good. Setting
before us the aim Of doing good will
call out the condition Of heart that en-
attend to being good. High, indeed, is
the life II we can live thus benevolently
and blamelessly to the vision Of God and
men,"

Delegates and Others Have

California Has Heretofore Frittered Away Her
Political Chances and He Wants Now

The trains for the north yesterday,
both afternoon and evening, were crowd
ed with delegates and others from this
end of the state who will attend the Re
publican state convention, which opens
at Sacramento tomorrow morning. The
sixth district congressional convention
will be held at am. tomorrow, one hour
before the opening of the state conven-
ticn. Among those who departed yester-
day was Albert Searl Of the Herald.
There has been considerable talk rela-
tive to the chairman of the Sacramento
convention. So far as can be learned
Jacob Neff Of Placerville is the choice
Of a majority of the delegates-elect
throughout the state, and he will in all
probability be selected, provided his
health permits. He has been ailing of
late and may be so unwell as to be unable
to perform the arduous duties of the po-

Y. W. G. A. Meeting

The meeting Of the Young Women's
Christian association opened by singing
and prayer by the secretary. Miss Teal.
The fourth chapter Of Acts was read
by the leader in charge, Miss Teal, and
commented upon. Miss Teal urged up
on the young women the. necessity of
loving Christ every day of their lives,
so that people might know that they
were Christians without having to be
told. She said in part:
Did you ever notice people on the
street and in cars, and try to pick out
those who were Christians, and did you
ever realize how few reflect the image
of Christ? 1t Is possible for us to be
Christ-like. but we cannot be so in our
own strength; we must be filled with the
Holy Spirit, and 1t is our privilege, and
not only our privilege. but our duty, to
reflect Christ
There were a number Of testimonies
given on the subject of Abiding in Christ.
The young women were favored with
vocal solos by Miss Stephens, Miss A.
B. Ellis and Miss Goodwin.
