! In other words. there is no use in wor-
J rying over the establishment of a relig-
/ ion which does net depend on heroism
I and great deeds, because it cannot be es-
/ tabIished and that is all that there is
| about il.
The religion preached in this book is
| not theoretical or speculative. 1t is prac-
| teal to the last degree, ard in this il is
! al one with the teaching Of Christ. Some
clergymen of the present day have got-
| ten so far astray from their proper work
| that they admit that Christ's rules for the
government of humanity were pretty, but
not practical Mr. Ferguson does not
agree with them-indeed, his Disagree
ment is outspoken and decided. He says:
To bring Justice and beauty upon the earth in
wisdom freedom and fearlessncss Of death, that
Is the whole ritual and service of the religion Of
the incarnation It's theology is that man is
son Of God, and that his work is world making
as Gods work is
II is pertinent to remember in this con-
nection that Christ never, except in one
saying which is generally admitted to be
a possible Interpolation, claimed 20 be the
only begotten son. and that the ciffer-
ence between his statement that he was
the son of God and the text, Now are
We the sons of Cod is only one of capt
taIization II will hardly be claimed that
the translators of the Bible were inspired
on that point Furthermore, the author
says:
The reasonable object Of devotion is disclosed
mt a.. a thiu., reconcile and obscure but as the
mos: obvious thing and what might have been
expected The business Of man is TO carve into
the substance OF this visible world the most ex-
ceIIent thing that in the face of the scanned and
sifted facfs he can clearly think. Though
stupidity and fear beset the path with diff;sal-
Ties. and make IT bristie with menace, still it
is r.asnubalc to insist that the thing most prAc-
teal is that which is most humane most
allied. and most just. 1t is hard to reform a jail
without getting into it, or to take of tea tax
without revolution; there Is an inertia OF we'll

1t is part Of the ground plan OF the world
that it should be always possible TO doubt the
safety OF doing what is beautiful and right, pos
sible to doubt whether the ultimate authority of
the universe would back one up in that kind OF
enterprise 1t seems that tonic drastic doubt Is
forever necessary in order that beauty and right
should grow indigenous in man. The measure
Of the beautitulncss in a is the amount of
ugli9ess that he can meet without Departing and
the dignity Of the stature Of Lis faith is in pro-
portion 10 the clearness and sanity with which he
doubts The man OF the modern spirit is mighty
doubter; and the depth Of his Gethsemane meas
uTes the height Of his GolgUtha.
The death Of religion is in a dead certainty
Perhaps God would sooner dest-oy all the Bibles
Of the nations and etace all the miracles of faith
than remove the possibility y that spirit-stir-
ring doubt.
Mr.. Ferguson appears to be the spiritual
descendant of those old Puritan theolo-
gians who did not believe in a mans get
ting religion too easily. They recognized,
in their way, that a man must doubt be-
fore he can know what he believes.

Catching the Goblin Moth.

hahaIhg consists in placing one or
more strips of cloth about the trunk Of
'ne Tree to give the worms place in
winch to spin their cocoons. Before they
nave completed their transformations
the band is taken off and the worms de.
s'Foyed, after which it is replaced to
capture later worms in the SAME way. II
would seem hardly necessary to mention
the tact that unless the bands are re-.
moved regularly and the worms DESTROYED
the process is benefit to the insect: but
SO many reports have come to nv at
tention of orchardists ueg Getting the
bands, that wish to emphasize the point,
As before stated, the full grown worm
leaves the apple and seeks protection
under which to construct its cocoon and
transform to the moth. Nature seems to
nave given the insect the instinct TO
seek crevlces in the bark of the tree. In
young trees, or in old trees that are well
kept, these do not exist: then other
projections are sought. Sometimes
cracks in the ground are utilized. The
worms will crawl considerable distance
to ind a suitable place. 1t has been
found that a band or two of some soft
cloth will prove so attractive to the
worms that by far the larger part will
lodge there
AS the moth developes in hot weather
Ill week or little less from the time
OF making the cocoon, the bands must
be examined once week during the
middle of the summer. In the warmer
arid parts of the state, once in six DAYS is
considerably safer while the hottest
weather lasts"
The following is summary of the re-
suits of the experiments:
cone application of paris green before
the calyx closed destroyed 4I per cent. of
the worms of the first brood.
! The spray was about six times as eff.
| iective on worms, entering the calyx as
on those entering the side of the apple.
! "Of the first brood of worms, on un-
sprayed trees, only about 30 per cent. en-
| tered the CalNN.
"Of later broods, the number entering
the calyN was very small, almost none at
all
"On forty trees, an average of ais
worms per tree were collected under
bands between july I and October IS.
THE number of worms that leave the
apple before they fall, and crawl down
the tree, is much larger than the number
falling down with the apple, or dropping
to the ground with thread, and after.
ward crawling up the tree. At least this
is true in the absence of wind"

What Does He Want?

If Steunie wants to be senator, what
does Dubois want? You can wager he is
in the want column somewhere and
expects his wants will be satisfied out of
the fusion pot But the most serious
question ls-what will Freddie have to
offer to effect fusion? The pops don't
like him, and every one but himself
seems to fully realize there are no silver
republicans. Even the democrats of La
tab county always have sufficient TO take
the Office when they fuse with the pops
the pops furnish the votes, the democrats
the candidates, but Freddie cant do this
unless he receives recruits on the eve OF
victory from some other party.-Grange-

An eminent lord Chief justice who was

witness, an old farmer, who was pro.

'knowed the path for sixty year and my

"Stop!" cried the judge. I'VE can't
have any hearsay here"
"Noil" exclaimed Farmer Giles, Then
how dost know who thy feyther was,
cept by hearsay?"
After the laughter had subsidized the
judge said, "In courts of law we can only
be guided by what you have seen with
your eyes and nothing more nor less"
"Oh, that be blowed for tale9" re-
piled the farmer. al ha' got a bile on
the back of my neck, and l never seed

This second triumph on the part of the
witness set in torrent of hearsay evil
dence about the footpath, which obtained
weight with the jury, albeit the Judge
told them ii was not testimony of any
value and the farmers party won.
