Religious Liberty.

In America the bitterness Of religious
prejudice has i'll great measure died out
under the softening influence of perfect
freedom Of conscience but this does not
mean that we are sunk or are sinking
into indifference and spiritual apathy.

and on a far greater scale than ever had
been or could have been shown before

Possessing wealth is net necessarily
sinful. That may depend upon the way
it was gained, the way it is being used
or boarded, and whether it ought to be
any longer retained or Immediately,
properly. gladly, fully diffused for the
greatest good of the greatest number !;
but wealth is always dangerous. 1t is
apt to beget love for its present hold
ings, which '.love Of money is the root
of all evil, " or 10 beget desires for more,
which is the root of all covetousness,
but covetousness has nothing to do with
what man has, for if he has it how
can he covet it? But it is craving what
he has not. Hence the poorest may be
more covetous than the richest. He
who has nothing may be wishing he
had what belongs to some one else,
which may be the root of robbery -

a steam roller cannot be afforded, but
the horse roller is not sufficiently heavy
and has to be used much longer on a
given section than a heavy steam roller
to produce the best results The feet of
the horses, in eXerting sufficient strength
to move the roller, sink into and dis
turb the road metal, and thereby injure
the shape and quality of the roadway.
There Is danger, on the other hand,
of having a steam roller which is too
heavy. \ very heavy roller will some
times sink into loose soil and create a
mound over whlch it cannot pass. The
same result VIII sometimes occur with
an excessively heavy roller on a layer
of loose stone. The heavy roller Is more
liable, toe to impure underground pipes,
catch basins, culverts, bridges or dis
turb sidewalks
For these reasons a roller exceeding
10 or II tons III weight Is frequently
not desirable In districts where the
natural soil i gravelly or of a stiff clay
heavy roller may generally be operated
successfully, but some munich alities
have made the mistake Of purchasing a
too heavy roller and have found it
necessary Ia use a light horse roller in
consolidating the subsoil and first lay
ers. Nor if the stone used in the con-
struction Of macadam street is Of a soft
nature is heavy roller, say of 90 tons,
desirable even in the finishing courses,
as tho crushing effect has been found in
some cases to cruluble and pulverize the
stone rather than merely consolidate it.
For new work. i'll which the dirt
foundation must be rolled, a weight Of
/ : tons is generally the most service
able, but for picking up an old road
way and reconsolidating it or for finish
ing new work - tons is better
Where town owns only one roller it
is generally advisable to consider very
carefully the work to he done before
purchasing a roller of over II tons
weight"

John Cfiimer Speed, writing on How

Ladies Home Journal, proposes that
in each county there be founded a road
improvement association, which shall
have a one or two days meeting in the
autumn Of each year To the member
ship and 10 the meetings all the farmers
should be invited, while all those in the
county acting as road overseers or road
supervisors should be urged especially
to attend. At these meetings special,
definite, practical instruction should be
given in maintaining and repairing dirt
roads. Competent men TO give such in

WEIGHT OF ROAD ROLLERS

A steam Machine OF About Twelve Tons
Best For General Work.
There are sections Of the country
which pride themselves ON their mac
adam roads, but which fail to construct
them in a scientific manner and do not
get the results that should follow such
heavy expenditures as they make. One
serious fault is the lack of proper roll
ing, light rollers drawn by two or four
horses being employed They cannot
compact the stone by such methods and
consequently resort to free use Of clay
for binding" purposes. A smooth sur
face is secured at the outset, but it soon
wears and ruts and gets muddy with
every storm.
In considering the best weight for a
roller The Municipal World states the
case fairly, as follows: "A heavy road
roller is without question an indispen
sable implement in the construction of
macadam streets. Macadam roads were,
Of course, built before steam rollers
were invented, but crops We're harvested
before self binders were invented. The
effect of roller i'll roadmaking is as
great an advance on the old results as
is the use of the self binder ON the work
of the cradle.
There are different kinds and classes
Of rollers. The horse roller, weighing

giving. Mai iii. 5-l2
Life is continual receiving and Civ
ing. We receive from God, directly and
indirectly, great blessings and gifts.
We are expected in return to give, and
even to give to God. Not that God needs
our gifts, but that we need to make the
gift. There is feeling in every thought
full soul that we must render something
unto God for all His benefits. David s
exclamation, What shall render unto
the Lord for all His gifts to me?" finds
an echo in every heart. Even the idol
woIshiping heather in all ages has felt
the operation of this same inward feel
ing and has responded to it. Freely we
have received from God, freely We
should give to God.
But how shall we give? What is the
divine law upon this subject? 1t is I'M
doubtedlly systematic and proportionate
giving This method is Scriptural,
practicable, effective and has the prom
Use of Gods blessing.
l. Systematic and proportionate Civ
dispensation tenth was the demand of
God Abraham probably gave a tenth
of his substance To God. Jacob vowed
to do so, and il may have been before
this that he had failed to do what was
required and customary. In Lev.
xvii, 30, it is directly ana plainly as
serted thar tenth shall be given 10
God. "All the tlthe Of the land, whEta-
er of the seed of the land or Of the fful;
of the tree, Is the Lord $ - In TIE top
ical reference the prophet Malachi tear
fully arraigns God 5 people for not hav-
ing given the 1.-THE and declares that IN
withholding 1t they have robbed God.
There can be no question about the law
as regards giving in Old Testament
times In the New Testament Paul asks
a stated weekly Offering for a special
purpose, and i'll another place declares
that as God blessed the people they
were to give.
2. Systematic and propoTtionate Civ
ing is just. 1t is right. 1t asks of no
one what he Is net able to give. 1t re-
quires the least of those who receive the
least and the most of those who receive
the most 1t sets aside so much as he
longing to the Lord. 1t makes 1t His
and not ours and removes the tempta-
tion to use II for ourselves.
3. Systematic and proportionate CIV
ing has the promise Of the blessing Ct
God. In giving regularly to God ami il
proportion as He blesses Us we are I'LL
ing plain duty that Is owed To God.
Every duty brings its blessing. Eut
God has promised a blessing tor the tai
filling Of this duty Bring ye all the
tithes into the storehouse that taere
may be meat i'll Mine house ANA prove
Me now herewith, satin the Lord OF
hosts if l will not open the windows Of
heaven and pour you oGt blessing,
that there shall not be room enough to
receive II" If we fulfill the conditions
of this promise, we may also have the
blessings.

Army of the Future,

II line for peaceful marching
Once We saw our boys enroll.
All the captains and the privates
Showed the grace of self control
Every patriot in the nation
Of our manly boys was proud.
Loudly swelled the martial music.
And the drums We're beating loud
Now the bloody wars grow fewer
As faith and hope increase.
And foreign lands are learning
The happy arts of peace.
Boys. if you're fond of warfare
And really want to fight
Enroll yourselves together

Good Road Essentials.

Three essentials Of modern road build
ing are the road machine, for grading,
shaping and preparing the roadbed; the
stone crusher, which may often advan-
tageously be portable, with outfit for
breaking the stone, and an efficient road
roller, preferably a steam roller of about
- tons weight These are at the bot
tom of economical macadam road con-
struction
