Tamperinq With Sin,

We cannot consider sin to be a light
thing. Has not God told us plainly
that it is hateful in His sight7 Have
we not abundant illustrations showing
that the least sin-if we may speak OF
it in any comparative sense-''bring
eth forth deathR' We have not yet
come to true knowledge if we ever re,
gard it as permissible. whatsoever
shall keep the whole law, and offend in
one point he is guilty of all" The
evil having found a place within the
heart, unless washed away, must
offend every good principle in the
moral code. U~nforgiven, the sinner is
under condemnation as truly as he
who breaks the whole law.
How, then, can we indulge conscious
enmity or continue in practices that
conscience condemns, and still regard
ourselves safes Do we suppose that
our mere outward profession will avail
anything in Gods sight9 No man can
touch fire and not suffer; no more can
a soul cherish evil in thought or life
and not be harmed. Who a live in
a malarial atmosphere without expe-
riencing its baneful efects9
On what ground do we think our
choice of evil associates will not work
death in our spiritual habits7 Just
here we find the destructive influence
of much of our current literature. The
treachery of corruption appears on al
most every page. False ideals of life
and perverted sentiments concerning
virtue are surrep 5itiously taught in
manifold ways. The fascinating charm
of style and language too often ex,
cuses the unhallowed teaching. Thus
an atmosphere of poison envelopes the
reader; conscience is made dull; truth
loses it's power because the spiritual
faculties are made incapable of receiv-
ing truth.
Do not tamPer with sin. Keep thy
heart with all diligence; for out of it
are the issues of life. Put away from
thee a froward mouth, and peFverse
lips put far from thee. Let thine eyes
look right on, and let thine eyes look
straight before thee. Ponder the path
of thy feet, and let all thy ways be
| established. Turn not to the right
hand nor to the left; remove thy foot
from evil"

Looking to Jesus.

There are conditions or states of the
mind favorable to certain acts. The
conditions or attitude of the mind re.
quired by the Gospel is, looking to
Jesus.
We should look to Him when we

I read the other day of a man who
had been in an ~evangelistic meeting in
Scotland somewhere, and he had been
deeply moved. He longed to find
Christ, and he left the building his
whole heart set upon that. AS he went
down the steps there was a poor old
woman who slipped and fell. His heat
was tender, as it were, and he came up
to her and said, do take my arm, and
let me help you" The old woman said
to him, You must be one of the
Lords bains, or you would never offer
your arm to old woman like me-" He
said, mo, I am not; but I am seek
ing;" and the old woman said, "All
right, for when there be two seeking
there is sure to be a finding"
Are you seeking9 Christ also is seek
ing you, and there is sure to be So find
ing" Seeking you'll O, that I could
tell you how deeply do / believe that
from my own experience! All through
those long centuries since He died
upon the cross He has been seeking
men as if they were sheep wandering
over the mountains, and some nearly
lost. All through the years Of your
life, since you were a little child in the
cradle, He has been seeking you! And
has He come to the point where He
finds you to-night2 Will you turn to
Him and see who it is that has sought
you all your life2 A seeking Saviour

Old School Manners.

When one speaks Of lady or gentle
man Of the old school, the idea con-
veyed is at once that of somebody
stately, courteous and somewhat formal.
One can not conceive OF person distin-
guished by the gentle breeding Of the
old school as flying to and fro 10 hurry,
and rushing about over the affairs
of the day, fussy, hdgety or impatient
because these are not going as
they should, as interrupting converse
ton, as arriving too late to keep an ap-
pointment, or as In any small way vio-
lating the rules Of politeness. Ii Is
characteristic of old school courtesy that
1t has leisure to be considerable, and
perhaps 1t would be we'll for us who be.
long to new time, to return to some Of
the beautiful observances which were
once customary among highly civilized
people.
The curt phraseology Of the day has In
a measure dropped even the beautiful
words. lady and gentleman, substituting
man and woman In very awkward con-
nections. Man as the name OF the spec.
les. woman as its feminine. are appro-
pirate terms, and there are certain situa.
tions In which 1t is right to speak of
men and women. But when we are al
luding to people in society, people who
have certain relations to sustain to one
another, we should cay lady and gentle
man, and it is not too much to exact of
these the refinement. the good taste,
and the freedom from hurry which are

A GRKCULTURE.

Did you ever see a slipshod farmer
come out successfully There Is no
charm in weedy fields or fence corners,
In fence rows full of rubbish, or In barns
or buildings in a general state Of dis
order.
Rather be week late In getting the
wheat into the ground than two weeks
late In having 1t come up because of an
improperly prepared seed bed. In the
latter cast. too, there will be continual
battle with weeds.
Do not store the potatoes too early.
There cannot be too much care taken In
keeping them dry in winter and at low
temperature. 1t is the having too
much light and heat which causes them
to sprout.
The flies will often be attracted to a
small piece Of wheat sown early, where
they deposit their eggs before the main
crop comes on. This can be burned or,
plowed under.
Silos are satisfactory with some, and
with some they are not; but 1t Is not the
fsult of the silo. Do not put dried up
stuff into it. Let the clover be cut as
soon as headed out and put In the
silo at once, not even giving 1t time to
wilt.
1t costs something to keep property
Insured. but 1t lie the only safe course to
