by using little nitrate of soda around
each hill after the plants are up, but
plenty of manure should he used before
the seed is planted. 1t is not difficult

season if paintings are made once a
month, even as late as the first of Au-
gust, with the dwarf varities. Stow

Reality Of Sin and sunerinr.

If there is no sin, sor1ow and pain in
the woTld-if it is all an illusion-why
did Jesus weep? If there were no pain
in His death on the cross, why did He
pray: Father, if it be possible, let
this cup pass from Me-" If there was
no atonement needed. why did He die?
He was man of sorrows and acquaint-
ed with grief-how could He sorrow
over imaginary Affections and be ac-
quainted with griefs which had no
reality?

Every good deed will find recogni.

knows when to do it and how to do it.
Let us do our duty, and, if the reward
does not come, let us not be discour-

than any reward, and it is vastly bet
ter to win it than any reward.
