WEALTH IN CORNSTALKS.
A Proposition for Utilizing Waste
Stalks in uManufacturing.

1t appears from recent publications that the
cornStalk is about TO be rescued from COM
parative inutiity and converted Into Valu-
able contributor to the general welfare. In
New England and some other sections OF the
north, where small corn is raised, the stalk S
most of the Western and all Of the Southern
states only the leaves are thus used, the stalks 4
being regarded as somewhat worse than use
less for they cumber:the ground. Compared
with the little yellow corn OF the north, the
great plant that bears that name In the west
and south is like an oak tree beside currant
bush. But an enterprisiDg resident OF St.
Louis, q Mr.. Prater. has discovered by expert.
ments OF various kinds that there Is great
wealth in the despised and rejected stalks,
even when denuded OF their leaves or blades.
This enterprising man has established at
OWensboro, KY, plant for the UTILIZATION OF
this waste material. He asserts that the
stripped stalk "cau by proper manipulations
be made to yield q variety OF valuable pro-
established" Among the expected cornstalk
products ne mentions celluloid, smokeless
gunpowder, lacquer cattle feed, roofing ma
lerial that will answer every purpose OF pa
piermache. Green stalks, he says, are rich in
glucose and will yield "a better quality and Il
fine sugar with less expense than can be
made from the cane Of Louisiana"
Mr.. Prater cheerfully predicts the early ar
rival OF the time when the stalks on every
acre that has yielded good crop OF corn will
be worth to the farmer SIS or more. That
means hundreds of millions of dollars. Mr.
Prater lsays of his enterprise at Ownsbor
that 1t will be SO successful that mills for the
manufacture of eornstalk products will be es.
tablished all over the South, and that there
will be ready sale for all cornstalks that can
be found near railroad lines.

Friend, are you saved? Are you
satisfied about it? Not satisfied, and
yet prayerless
To-day the great question as to
where and how we are to spend Eterni-
ty. may be forever settled.
There are decisive days, hours. and
even moments in the lives of men
which determine whether they are to
be rich or poor, princes or paupers in
this world. And are there not moment
Gus days, hours and moments in our
lives that determine whether we are to
be princes or paupers in Eternity
happy or hopeless, saved or lost :?
This hour may decide the matter
you, friend. IT so, how?
Somewhere in your pathway, dear
unsaved friend, there is quiet, lonely
spot, where some day you will halt, and
lie down, to rise up no more till the
loud blast of the trump of the archap.
gel calls you to judgment! This is as
certain as that you now live. but of
that day and hour knoweth no man."
Solemn thought! Yes, very solemn,
even to those who have the precious
hope that they will sweetly "sleep in
Jesus" until the resurrection morn.
But o? how inexpressibly harrowingit
must be to those "having no hope and
without God in the world"? How is it
with thee, friend Trust DO uncertain
ty. Give your heart to Jesus, the
Friend of sinners, to-day, and all will
be well with thee, both now and In
"that day"

An Essential to Forgiveness.

Forgiveness is never complete with
out it's complement, repentance. An
aggrieved or injured person may eX-
ercise great patience, long suffering,
charity; may repeatedly, even per-
manently, forbear to visit penalty !;
may have perfectly forgiving spirit !;
but until his forbearance and readiness
to forgive are met on the other side by
repentance, the act of forgiveness can
not be complete.
So God deals with US. He is very
patient, waits to see whether oar
wrongd DING indicates firm purpose of
our lives, or is the result Of ignorance
or the stress of overpowering tempta-
ton. He is long-suffering, does not
punish for the first offense or for many
offenses, but gives every possible op-
portunity to retrace our steps and seek
right conduct. He is merciful, tender,
gentle, never breaking the bruised
reed, nor quenching the smoking flax,
always ready to assist even the weakest
endeavor. For forgiveness, however,
he requires absolute repentance.
The same general principle holds
good in our dealings with one another.
The obligation which God imposes on
himself to meet repentance with for
giveness becomes in our case duty to
exercise the forgiving spirit, whether
there is repentance or not. We are to
be patient, long-sufering, merciful,
tender, and also charitable; for with
our human limitations we are constant
ly liable to err in our Interpretation of
acts and words, and it may be that, in
stead of being the offended, we are, in
truth, the offenders. Making. how
ever, full allowance for all such obliga-
ton, it remains true that in the rela-
lions of man with man, as in those CT
man with God, forgiveness cannot be
complete without repentance or, it
other words, the duty of repentance is
just as great as the duty of forgiveness.
1t is Just as necessary for the person
who finds out that he was wronged an
other to seek forgiveness by the mani
festation of repentance as it is the
duty of the other to be ready to forgive
wheter repentance be made manifest
or not.
This repentance must be something
more than mere regret for con-
sequences. Comparatively little wrong
doing is intentional. Very few men
fiaunt disobedience in the face of God,
and few deliberately set about doing
harm to their fellows. Most of the
experiences in life that call for the ex-
ercise of forgiveness have been occa-
stoned by ignorance or heedlessness.
Some people seem to imagine that re-
pentance has to do do only with deliber.
ate wrongdoing that the great mass of
acts or words that give Otfense can be
fully atoned for by mere ''excuse
me,"'"I did not mean to-" etc. Others
act as if there were some degradation
in the expression of repentance. Both
these views are utterly false. The man
who has injured his fellow-man in
whatever way or however uninten-
tionally is bound to make full repara-
ton for the wrong, and the least that
he can do is to acknowledge the obliga-
ton The degradation is in refusing
to acknowledge it. The man who pre-
sumes on the readiness to forgive,
whether of God or man, and refuses;
to seek forgiveness, has no right to
claim that forgiveness.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS,
A Plea for Those Who Cannot Speak
on Themselves.

The amount of cruelty to dumb animals
on our streets and country roads Is disgrace
to any civilized community, and STOP
should be promptly put to further exhibitions
OF the kind. What Is lacking, we fear mas
been q general public condemnation. we
know OF those who have complained IN the
past. but they did not seem TO have that gen.
eral public support that is necessary 10 cor
rect The evil, which has steady grown OF iate
years, and can only be finally exungulsneo
by a united effort OF a majority OF the people,
who must abhor q continuance OF the ABUSES
TO which the dumb animals are subjected.
Chapter xxx of the Revised Statutes makes
the penalty SIS fine or 10 days imprisonment
upon whoever shall willfully abuse or cruelty
treat any horse, mule or draught animal or
beast of burden. And like punishment is
placed upon any one who cruelty drives or
works, when unfit for labor, or cruelty aoan-
douS the same or permits the same 10 pe done.
A punishment not exceeding SlOO or So Gays
custodian) overloads, overdrives, overWorks,
tortures, needlessly mutilates, cruelty Kills,
or infiicts unnecessary pain upon any AMI
NAL. Any person violating This law may De
arrested and held without warrant by any
sheriff, deputy sheriff, deputy State consta'
bles and police officers. A half OF all nhe col
lected shall be paid over TO the Soutn caro-
lima Society for the Prevention OF cruelty 10
Animals.
There is law enough TO correct the evil. The
only thing is for some humane citizens TO
start the ball rolling. When 1t Is seen that
business is meant, the wretches may cease
their cruelty.

Beauty II Heart Deep.

"Beauty is but skin keep" That
skin-deep saying. Beauty Is hearS
deep. 1t is out of the heart we desire2
il. 1t out of the heart it grows!Y
This is not mere saying like the
there. 1t is the fact and secret that.
we are eager to penetrate. There >is
indeed, a skin.deep beauty-a mere
unearned, unlived, bodily Inheritance
but out of some heart, through some
life earning, it must always have been
originated and evolved. The grandest
beauty may wait, its secret glory not
shown forth, for lifetime covered In
with plain, even uDgainly exterior
as noble building Ia roughly boarded
up while it is being carefully wrought
to Its perfection. Many woman goes
through the world like this. Or the
true beauty may be 80 tender in its
beginnings that 1t needs to be hidden,
shielded-not made sign of before its
time-lest it should be spoiled and
perish in the exposure. So the final
heritage waits, while a present outer
poverty is permitted, which, like the
opposite condition, may have come
down through some strain of ancestry,
OhO oatCi oSSAoJ GU Va . ioi-ooShS ihhSh
want. Ofsuch waiting, little further
on, a wonderful loveliness may be,
born. A plain woman, with beauty in !
her soul, has often been the mother Of
a marvelously beautiful child.
Beauty is seed in the nature. 1t will
germinate, bud, leaf out, blossom. II
the beauty is inside, you, and alive,
you will sometime, somewhere be
form of beauty. How else did God
make out of his own beautiful thought
the beautiful world? You have only
got to live, love on, and wait. You
shall have your birthright. Certain of
this, will you care if even it does not
wholly come to you within the three
score years and ten? When you come
of age you shall possess your estate.
Only, never barter it away for mess
pottage you happen to be hungry for.

Words, money, all things else, are
comparatively easy to give away ). but
when a man makes grief of his daily
life and practice, it is plain that the
truth whatever it may be. has taken
possession Of him.
You picture to yourself the beauty of
bravery and steadfastness. And then
some little, wretched, disagreeable duty
comes, which is your martyrdom, the
lamp for your oil; and if you do not
do it how your oil is split.
The back seats are taken in church
and the front seats always in theatre.
1t is wonderful, but true. 1t does seem
that people would be more interested
in their SOULS salvation than that, but
a large majority of them are not.

The HymnaI as Devotional Reading

If the Hymnal were more widely re-
cognized by our Methodist people as
not merely collection of hymns to be
sung in the public services and oc-
casionally in the home, but as book
to be Systematically and prayerfully
read as an aid to religious devotion, the
the effect upon spiritual life of the
Church would be very strong and abid-
ing for the Hymnal is a simple, lucid,
and beautiful expression of the highest
type of religious faith, aspiration, hui
mility. resignation, courage, worship,
joyousness, thanksgiving, and praise.
1t is poetic embodiment of our doc
trine, and soul tonic, stimulating and
feeding the higher life. Deplorable in
deed must be the state of one who can
devote half an hour to the perusal of
this remarkable book without expert
encing an elevation of thought and
feeling and strong desire for closer
fellowship with God.

A habit calls for prompt and decisive
treatment. To attempt to break off
from some sin gradually is about as
wise as to amputate diseased hand
gradually, cutting little to-day, alittle
more Tomorrow, and completing the
operation some other day. The Scrip
tlire plan is to break off from the sin
and from everything that may lead TO
it. "If thy right hand cause thee to
offend, cut it off and cast it from thee.
