have erred in not stirring their deeper
life. Caxton, my friend. have spoken
my inmost thought to you. Shall go
back to my people next Sunday and
stand up before them in my large city
church and say, Let us follow Jesus
closer; let us walk in his steps, where
it will cost us something more than it
is costing US now; let US pledge not to
do anything without first asking,
What would Jesus do9' If should go
before them with that message, it would
be strange and startling one to them.
But why2 Are we not really to follow
him all the way? What is it to be a
follower of Jesus? What does it mean
to initiate him? What does it mean to
walk in his steps?"
The Rev. Calvin Bruce, D. D., of the
Nazareth Avenue church, Chicago, let
his pen fall on the paper. He had come
to the parting of the ways, and his
question, he felt sure, was the question
of many and many man in the min
istry and in the church. He went to his
window and opened it. He was OBJ
pressed with the weight of his convic-
lions, and he felt almost suffocated with
the air of the room. He wanted to see
the stars and feel the breath of the
world
The night was very still The clock
in the First church was striking mid
night. AS it finished clear, strong
voice down in the direction of the Rec
tangle came floating up to him as if
borne on radiant pinions:
Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free?
No! There's cross for every one
And there's cross for me-"
1t was the voice of one of Gray's old
converts, night Waterman at the
packing houses, who sometimes solaced
his lonesome hours by verse or two
from some familiar hymn.
The Rev. Calvin Bruce turned away
from the window, and after a little
hesitation he kneeled down. "What
would Jesus do? What would Jesus
do?' Never had he yielded himself so
completely to the Spirits searching re-
vealing of Jesus. He was on his knees a
long time He retired and slept ftfully.
with many awakenings. He rose before
it was clear dawn and threw open his
window again. AS the light in the east
grew stronger he repeated to himself
''What would Jesus do? What would
he do? Shall follow his steps!.'
The sun rose and flooded the city
with its power When shall the dawn
of new discipleship usher in the con-
quering triumph of closer walk with
Jesus9 When shall Christendom tread
more closely the path he nader
1t is the way the Master trod.
Shall not the servant tread it stillf
With this question throbbing through
his whole being the Rev Calvin Bruce
went back to Chicago. and the great
crisis Of his Christian life in the min
istry suddenly broke irresistibly upon
him

The hundreds OF people who see
queer little animals called guinea pigs
in the show windows of bird stores
know that they are of any use except
for pets. It is said that rats will not
stay in the same building with guinea
pigs and for that reason they are in
great demand by chicken raisers, who
usually suffer by having peeps" carried
OFF by rodents. Besides this the animals
cost absolutely nothing to keep, as they
will eat anything and everything and
seem to thrive on nothing but grass.
They are very prolific. One pair will
rear dozen young every year.

Ex-Governor Page writes as follows :
"Here is an article from the Texas Stock
and Farm Journal. Can't you pass it
over to some of your good friends who
have Morgan stations for sale, and let
them write the Texas Stock and Farm
journal such letter as will tend not
only tosadvertise his particular stallion,
but the Vermont Morgan stock in gem
eral?'
although the demands of the horse
market have been steadily drifting to-
wards specialtics, the farmer, ranchman
and residents In cities and towns, except
ing a wealthy class able to buy the
ultra-fashionable horses. of which the
standardized families furnish the larg-
est supply, can find in the Morgan blood
qualities that are highly satisfactory.
The drafts can pull heavier loads, but are
too slow and unwieldy for anything but
extremely heavy work in cities. More
speed is found in trOtting-bred families,
but for allday work and work every day,
in the pillow, wagon or light harness, or
under the saddle, with plenty of speed
and wonderful endurance, courage,
gentleness and intelligence, no family of
horses, outside the trotting- bred, can
equal the Morgan. Wherever an all-pur-
pose horse Is needed, horses of this breed
will be found equal to requirements. 1t
is said that much more attention is being
paid to the systematic breeding and per-
petuation of the Morgan horse than there
was few years ago, and that the breed
ers are culling out and improving their
herds iudiciOusly. But such herds, as
has been said, are still small.
The Journal does not know that there
is stallion of the Morgan blood in
Texas. To the farmer having a few
good large mares the services of horse
of that breed would be worth very much,
for, as was said in Journals former ar
ticle, that one of the most valuable
characteristics Of the family was that of
strongly impressing itself upon Its pro-
gerry. This prepotency belongs also to
some of the best of the trotting-bred
families, but, unfortunately, while there
are a few stations of such families in
Texas, they are far less In number than
the requirements of so large an area as
that of Texas demands"
