In Christ,s KeenIng.

Let the mind be in Christ's keeping
and under His control. Let all our
thoughts be gathered up and brought
into captivity to the obedience of Him.
Let the man be trained to think accord
ing to the eternal principles of love and
truth and righteousness and purity
which Jesus taught. Let US learn to
think Christ's thoughts and bring all
our opinions to this test: What would
Jesus think about 1t? Let this be the
prayer: If my imagination pictures any
impurity, 0 Lord, efface it Instantly.
If my thoughts are Maynard, wander
ing from the path of right. Lord Jesus,
bring them back! If they attempt to
fly beyond their proper sphere, oh. clip
their wingsi If they are bent on mis-
chief, turn them aside. Hold them In
complete subsection to Thyselfi May
they be illumined by Thy light, sea-
soned by Thy grace. sweetened by Thy
love and sanctified by Thy Spirit

Fundamental Error.

Christianity teaches that food, drink.
raiment or creature comforts of all
sorts. yea, life itself, are infinitely be-
meath consideration when weighed
against the spiritual service of human
tty. Bodily health and vigor, sound
digestion, good sleep, keen sense per-
ception are all good If rightly used or
subordinated to higher faculties, but to
speak Of them as forming harmony
with the higher is placing the soul and

fundamental error In educational psy-

The Two Paths.

Fellow traveller, art thou standing
Where the paths of life divide?
One, the way is strait and narrow,
And the other, broad and wide.
One leads up to life and glory.
And there is guide-book true;
One leads down TO sins sad story
You must choose between the two.
One, perhaps, looks rough and rugged.
But 1t leads to realms of day;
You will find your load grow lighter
AS you walk the narrow way.
Does the other road look better?
All, the roses hide the thorn.
Many snarts thy feet would fetter.
You would meet with many a storm.
Do you think the cross too heavy?
Jesus bore il once for thee;
On the cruel cross he suffered
From sins curse to set you free.
Precious moments thou art losing,
Take the path that Jesus trod;
Never falter In thy choosing,
It's the path that leads to God.
And the Lord will walk beside you
TIL you reach the gate of heaven,
Where you'll meet the saints In glory,
Where the crown of life is given.
Precious Saviour, may we never
shun the path that Thou hast trod;
Hold our hand. and keep us ever
In the path that leads to God.

sourH DEER ISLE UNION.

The union here held its annual picnic
session with Mrs. Hattie Hendrick on
Wednesday, Sept. IL 1t has been the Gus
tom to have a picnic supper some time
during September, as one OF the red letter
days, and these gatherings have always
been very pleasant occasions, the present
one being no exception. Miss Sophie Ben
son, OF Camden, was present as guest.
The session opened with the usual deyo-
tional service, not forgetting prayer for
the President. After the usual business,
there were readings from the Union Stg-
nal and discussion OF the articles read,
also talk on the Importance OF wearing
the white ribbon as a sort of declaration
of principles. Several incidents were re-
lated where the wearing of this little
badge had led to pleasant acquaintances,
and it was conceded by all that 1t was inn
portant to wear the ribbon, especially
when among strangers, for II not helpful
to the wearer especially, it might be SO to
others, as has often been proved.
After the readings, a half hour was
spent in social chat before tea was served.
The male persuasion was represented by
Capt. s. n. Hendricks and j. Il. Small, an
honorary member OF the union. The
table was spread with an ample supply of
good things, to which all did justice.
Mrs. V. Goss, of Stonington, had been
invited lin fact she has standing invita-
ton to be present at these gatherings)
but sickness in her family prevented her
coming, much to the regret OF all. Some
members who would gladly have been
present were unable to come, but sll who
did attend were quite sure that this was a
red letter day, and hoped for many returns
OF the same. SECRETARY.
Now all be preparing for the convention
II is to be hoped that Hancock county will
send good delegation, and that they will
return inspired for good work in the
future. Coz. SEc'Y.

To the Editor Of MutuassBeneft Column:
win you kindly allow me to correct a mistake
in the column of Sept. IL. According to Web
ster the prefix Pan is from the Greek. com.
bining forms signifying ALL"
Pan-American means, then, All-American
and the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo is
an exposition by the people of the American
continent only, even as the Pan-American con
gress is composed OF delegates from the diff
ferent countries of this continent, who meet to
discuss methods of promoting commerce and
the interchange Of ideas among the American
countries, to their mutual advantage.
Z. NJ. H.
I am greatly obliged to "E. Nj. H." not
only for taking the trouble to make a
correction Tor may call it an addendum?)
to my quotation and explanation Of
"Pan", but also for the knowledge that
there is one interested reader of our
column from whom we have never heard
before
In the words "Pan was considered as
the god OF nature generally, or persona
fication of the universe, we get the
derivation Of the ''ali"; universal mean
ing whole or all. But really doesn't il
seem little incongruous that when we
want to say a certain exhibition is all
American we should say it in "Grecian
mythology"9

they are truly the farmers friend. Mill

annually destroyed by them, and but for
their presence on the farm, many crops

Examination OF the stomachs Of the
winter or tree sparrow showed that each
bird consumes daily about one-fourth OF
an ounce OF weed seeds. Estimating ten
TO fifteen OF these little birds 70 each
square mile during the fail and winter
period OF 200 days. and each bird consum-
ing one-fourth OF an ounce or weed seed
daily. we would have a total OF nearly
2.oo6 600 pounds. or nearly 900 tons OF nox-

This estimateri s based upon only the
work OF one species when as a matter Of

Growing tomatoes.

Professor Massey, of North Carolina is
quoted as saying that he formerly enter
tanned the opinion, still held by some
(by a good many, might be said that
heavy applications OF heterogeneous ma
nures made the vines too rank and the
fruit more crooked; but persistent efforts
in improving the character of the fruit
and the modes OF culture have convinced
him that with a good strain of seed
mo amount OF manuring will make IT any
more irregular In any event, ana That
a rank growth OF vine. induced by heavy
manuring, simply indicates the need OF
more room for the plant and heavier
orop OF big tomatoes, and that heavy
Inanuring in the hill is the best way to
insure vigorous growth OF vine and
corresponding vIgor and perfection in
the fruit a-
In a general way, says T. Grelner, writ
ing IN the Practical Farmer, am entirely
in accord with Professor Massey ON these
points, except that prefer broadcast ma
nuring TO hill application. One Of the
heaviest yields OF most perfect fruit
ever saw was on the grounds Of neigh
Der in New jersey who had put a heavy
coat Of composted fish manure (rich in
phosphoric acid and nitrogen) on his
patch. 1t is not always true that small
fruit grows from seeds of small fruit, and
vice versa, for would rather use the seed
of small tomato taken from a vine that
has mostly large tomatoes than from an
exceptionally large specimen growing on
a plant that otherwise has all small fruits.
. But 1 do believe that trimming and
training the plant to a single stem leads
to a smaller production of blossoms, less
pollen and a smaller crop; that the larg-
est crops are always on the plants which
are allowed to take their full natural de-
velopment and grow at their own sweet
will on the ground" and that 1t may be
true TO some extent that healthy toma-
toes lying on the ground are no more la
BILE 90 rot than those trained off it." IL
would not be easy to find a fruit that can
be more rapidly improved by careful Sc
lection or run out more rapidly by care
less handling than the tomato.
