GENTLE TRUTH.

"I am an enthusiastic believer In sin
cerity, and practice what I preach, - says
an old st. Paul lady, "but at the same
time it is much wiser to avoid unpleas-
ant truths and to emphasize pleasan
ones. A recent experience has impressed
this strongly on ne. A young man. a.
cousin, hearing I was to take a short
journey on the same train with him, ex-
claimed, oh, that's fine! Now, I am a
middle-aged. gray-haired woman, and
his cordial and not ipsincere speech
warmed my heart. The next day he sat
with me during the whole trip, chatting
pleasantly and easily. Is it strange thai
my early affection for the little bow is
revived toward the hitherto unknown
man? He might as truthfully have said,
perhaps, 1 am sorry | can't sit with you.
but I have a friend in the smoking car
Would not many have done so? Let us
all cultivate sincerity and the most exact
truthfulness, but it oils the wheels a
good deal to express the complimentary
and encouraging truths, and to suppress
the opposite ones. If woman is homely
but graceful, isn't it just as truthful to
tell her it is pleasant to watch her move
as it is to tell her her face would break
a looking glass?'

AUTUMNAL DREAMS.

When the maple turns to crimson,
And the Sassafras to gold;
When the gentian's in the meadow,
And the, aster in the void;
When the moon is Tapped in Vapor
And the night is frosty cold;
When the chestnut burrs are opened,
And the acorns drop like hail,
And the drowsy air is startled
With the humping of the fail
! With the drumming of the partridge
And the whistle of the quail;
Through the rustling woods I wander,
through the jewels of the year,
FROM the yellow uplands calling,
Seeking her who still is dear;
she Is near me in the autumn,
she, the beautiful, is near.
Through the smoke Of burning summer
men the weary winds are still,
can see her in the valley,
l can see her on the hill,
In the splendor of the woodlands,
In the whisper of the rill.
For the shores of earth and heaven
Meet and mingle in the blue:
she can wander down the glory
10 the places that she knew,
Where the happy lovers wandered
In the days when life was true.
So | think when days are sweetest,
And the world is wholly fair,
She may sometimes steal upon me
through the stiffness of the air.
With the cross upon her bosom
And the amaranth in her hair.
Once to meet her: ali! to meet her,
And to hold her gently fast
I'LL L blessed her, till she blessed me-
mat were happiness at last;
mat were bliss beyond our meetings
In the autumns of the past.

YEARS OF FUTURE PROGRESS.

YEARS OF FUTURE PROGRESS.
Thirty years from now the United
States will have population of 81, OOO,OOO,
if the same rate Of increase continues
as in the past, says the Northwestern
AgricuIturist. In order to supply that
immense population with food, there will
be required an increase of cultivated
land amounting to 1913, 100 900 acres more
than we are now cultivating There is
not that much additional tillable land in
America. even after retaining the semi
arid plains. and the only course left win
be to increase the output per acre of the
land available. To accomplish that, in
tensive methods become imperative, and
intensive farming means the greater ap-
plication of brain-work, of knowledge of
the chemistry of soils and the rotation
of crops and the breeding of seed. In
short, it requires higher agricultural edu-
cation. Minnesota wheat fields which
now produce an average of sixteen BUSH
els of wheat per acre, must produce sixty.
Great wastage of soil elements must stop.
Great loss by shipping crude products,
such as corn and hay, hundreds of miles
from where they are raised, will cease,
and all feed will be converted into meat
at or near where it is harvested.

Mckinley was always pleased to talk to
Sunday schools.
There is reason for this condition or
desire of the mind. The average man
IN either business or public life requires
mental tonic. He must have it regu-
larly, something, anything to divert his
attention from everyday cares He may
find this on the golf links, in the garden
or In the fields. 1t Is the law of nature
asserting itself. Look at the man who
never throws off his business affairs and
you see one whose face is pinched and
drawn, whose every physical act is fee
BILE, whose attention refuses to be dt-
Verted from business to pleasure. and
you see slave to worldly affairs Then
watch the one who takes a certain time
each day for recreation, be it mental or
physical, and note the difference in the
man. His step is lighter than that of
the other fellow. His eye has not that
PARKWAY look-he is making the best pos
sible out of life.
Fads and fancies are a part of every
ones life. If we did not need them we
would not employ them. They mean rest
and recreation of some kind to every
man, woman and child.

We live in an age of fads, whirns and

Something there is that you
May do more perfectly than 1
And far more deftly, too;
One doctor treats the ears or eyes,
And one the dreaded knife applies
Each has his work to do.
IT'S one mans lot to drive the OK
Along the winding trail;
The scholar might attempt to take
The drivers place and fail;
One paints, thus cheating wind and sun
One lays the plaster on, and one
Drives home the slender nail.
I know one who has never put
The world much in his debit
No art, no science e,er has been
Adorned by him as yet;
You might conclude, perhaps, that he
Excelled in naught, but you should see
Him roll a cigarette.

GROWTH OF THE KINGDOM.

The Christian Endeavor topic for Sep
TENDER 20 is Psalm Xxi This is con-
sidered Messianic psalm. In its pro
phetic significance the real king referred
to is the King of Kings. The most char
acteristic feature of the psalm is it's rich
ness IN prophecy concerning the growth
OF Christs kingdom and His universal
sway. He shall have dominion from
sea to sea and from the river unto the
ends of the earth. They that dwell in
the wilderness shall bow before Him. and
His enemies shall lick the dust All kings
shall fall down before Him; all nations
shall serve Him. His name shall endure
forever; His name shall be continued as
long as the sun, and men shall be blessed

CHRISTIAN MISSIONS.

The EpWofth League lesson for Sept 20
is Psalms Xxi. In nothing is the contrast
between Christianity and the other relig-
Ions of the world more clearly shown
than In such passages as this psalm COM
pared with the most elevated passages
from their sacred books. China, japan,
India, have nothing to show which for an
instant holds place beside it, Islam has
nothing in Alkoran to offer in competition,
and, Singularly, this is not from the New
Testament after Christ has come, nor
from the lips of the Messiah 1t is from
the Hebrew scriptures anticipating the
coming of Jehovah,s Servant, the King
Man.
1t springs like a root out of dry ground.
Nothing in the administration of Israel's
kings from Saul to Zedekiah could have
furnished an illustration or foundation
for the hope and expectation which swells

tice and equity among men! Where had
it ever been seen? The poor protected by
the powerful; peace and prosperity en-
couraged by the mighty ones of earth;
Righteousness f1ouriShing where fraud and
violence have held sway; harvests waving
on mountain tops and no robber bands
molestlng-what dream for an oriental
mind,
1t is valuable to trace the gradual ex-
tension of the Christian church from the
day of Pentecost until the present time in
numbers and from land to land. The past
century has seen more rapid diffusion
of the church and more widely extended
Influence than could be shown by all
the, previous ages combined More Bibles
have been printed and circulated since
1860 than all the preceding thirty-five CEN
turtles since Moses had, produced. The
broad stretches of Oceafiia have in their
countless island groups all been evangel-
lied in very recent lines. Africa and Asia
have bat just opened their doors to the
gospel, but they are now wide open.
Events of the past few years have in the
influence of the United States upon inter-
national affairs given an object lesson to
the world Of the supremacy of Jesus
Christ as pictured in this seventy-second

fore seen. --.srsss
