DON'T MURDER TIME
People Should be Careful of How They Ruthlessly Mur-
 der Time.

A young man day or so ago was seen to approach crowd of young men loafing in front of one of the stores on Jefferson street, to whom he made the remark :: "What are you dolngY "Oh, just killing time," answered one of them. This is d very common ex- presslon and very forcible one. But its meaning is something fearful. It is the young maa who, generally speaking does the killing of time; for in advanced age it is all too late to make amends; time that has been kill ed can never be resurrected. killing time" literally expresses a fact, and when so killed is as dead to all intents and purposes as though it had been living body.

There is no battle or life that cannot be won if due re- gards is had for the five minutes d day.

THEY MUST COMBINE
Farmers Should Quit Padding Their Own Canoe" and
 Form Q Combine.

Paddle your own canoe" was once an admonition of independ- ence more desirable than thrift. But canoes are out of date and larger crafts cover the waters. To paddle your own canoe," in these days means that you will never get there"- financial sense. Why this change, do you askf Reasons are as thick as dew berries and as plain as the ears on a donkey. One sufficient reason IS that there are two great parties in the country that may be termed shearers on the one hand and lambs on the other. The shearers are out for the wool, are thorough ly organized, armed and equipped for the campaign. The lambs are unorganized-each one spaddling his own canoe, as it were. They must surrender their wool to the organized and disciplined army of shearers. They are fortunate if they escape without being skin ned, , To succeed they must be- come shearers and join the union. It is thus with farmers who still try to paddle their own canoes. What chance has q farmer in com petition with interests organized to fleece him, unless he meets organ ization, with organization, and combined effort with combined ef- forts The theory of individual ef- fort and individual independence is attractive, but out of date. Farmers, fruit growers truck farmers and men engaged in every branch of rural industry must cease trying to paddle their own canoes. They must board a large craft--a line of battle ship, for in- stance, have their officers and weapons of otfense and defense, obey orders and learn how to handle their arms effectively. To be plain about it and leave meta- phor aside, farmers must organize, act intelligently and in concert, or they will lose their legitimate pro- fits. Many havn done so already, any many more will do so before they learn that the man who pad dles his own canoe, can make no headway against the current. Farm and Ranch.

the unacceptable one. from whom
there Is no refuge in darkness or the
depths. To John he Is the abiding
presence. when the world and the de-
sire OF II go by. To Paul he is the
great planner and compieter Of saliva
ton. by whom all things work to-
gether for good from whom no trial
or distress can separate. TO whom the
way OF conflict and temptation leads
as to a settled home.
Sooner or later every soul comes
10 this consciousness OF standing face
to face with the everlasting Judge
and Father OF mankind. His pres.
ence is the one reality. We meet him
at every turning OF our way. The
true mission of our Lord was 20 re-
veal him in the loving holiness Of his
character. The true purpose OF the
call TO repentance Is TO induce men
to put themselves into permanent re-
lations OF sonship with him. Sooner
or later we shall lose the absorbing
interests of our present worldlIness.

The Factor of Life

Tho passing OF tho world Is n mat.
ter OF every mans experience.
Friends have died. conditions OF liv-
ing have changed. bodily powers have
waxed or waned. The world to-day is
not tho world we knew ten years ago.
There are buried hopes and aspira-
lions. There are new fashions.
thoughts and purposes. which meet
us as n man meets travellers face TO
face upon his Journey and then pass
by.
The world goes by in ceaseless. pic.
turesque procession; but so also goes
the lust of Il. Desire shall fail. At
last wo weary OF the show. We tire
OF the excitements OF our life. The
zest OF pleasure dies. IL seems in.
credible that we should change. ex.
cept TO grow In strength. but we
awake TO find that we are growing
old. which Is tho shadow OF death
upon all merely worldly pleasures.
There is no permancnce In any condi.
ton or relation of our advancing or
declining life. II comes UP like
flower. but unless II takes hold on
some enduring force outside itself. Il
dies like n flower. TO make room for
other lives as fleeting as itself.
Behind all this changing beauty
and despair OF the great worldly show
is the undying permanence of God. AS

We draw nearer. so we have different
