THE CHURCH COLUMN
(By REV. G. e. soUDDER.)

The topic for the morning sermon
next Sabbath is, "Head Religion"
This will be followed by a sermon on
"Heart Religion" to be preached on
the following Sabbath morning.
The topic for the evening is, "The
Living Word" Christianity is not
a religion of dead form; its vital force
is not in any external ceremony, but
it is in the living word, or the Divine
revelation received in the heart and
there producing the Christian life.
Programs for the Harvest Home
service have been procured entitled
'The Goodness of the Lord" The
music is exceptionally good and we
hope for an increased spirit of thank
fulness to Him who is so bounteous
in His manifestations of goodness to
His creatures.
AT our prayer services during this
month we will consider the spiritual
life as taught in the Epistles of st.
John.
There will be preaching at Union
next Sabbath. The appreciation of
the people at this place, shown by
their faithfulness to the services, has
been an increasing source of pleasure
to their pastor.
Seventy-five dollars have been con-
tributed for our painting fund. We
need twenty-five more. Who wishes
the honor of a contribution? We are
ready to bestow our hearty thanks
upon any who give their help.
1t is time now to consider more
carefully the spiritual work of the
church. This work has not been neg
lected entirely during the summer,
but has not had the prominence that
it now demands. We have been
blessed in material things for which
we are thankful; now let US be just
as ready to receive the higher bless
ings. Is there not need that the re
vival spirit break out in our com
munity? Are we all as sanity as we
ought to be? Let us be an advance
in the religious life Of the community
and / am sure that all men good and
evil alike will rejoice in heart over it.

Dun's Wheat Review.

New York. March FIR. G. Dun's re- view on March g will say:
 Reports from the branches and large number of correspondents In the wheat belt show the condition of growing grain generally favorable. In Ohio. Kentucky. Indiana and Illinois the acreage is re- duced owing to a partial failure last year and tho mild winter in some seasons has been unfavorable. Fears are expressed in some quarters that the rayages of the Hessian fly will be serious, especially if the present dry weather continues In scattered sections of Illinois. Kentucky and Tennessee the grain was winter killed and the farmers are blowing 1t under. Dry weather in the fall months did much damage in Kentucky and Tennessee, the changeable weather of the early winter and lack of rain causing considerable in- jury. In Illinois the wet weather is now helping grain and it is hoped that con- tinuation will enable the grain to out grow the fly. In Michigan the acreage is less than last year. but the grain wint- cred well and the damage by the fly will not materially reduce the crop The best reports come from the southwest In Missouri the grain has wintered well and a large yield is expected. In Kansas, Oklahoma and the Panhandle of Texas there is considerable increase In acreage and the condition of the grain was never better; wet weather has prevented dam age by the fly. Tn other parts of Texas the acreage has been reduced the grain wintered we'll but ravage by insects IS feared.
