ing In his tradition, In his belief, in

PASTOR CLOSE TO PEOPLE.
BY Bishop Cheney.
Like the famous picture Of REM
brandt, painted by himself, so this is
Christ's own portraiture by Christ's
own pencil 1t would be interesting
to trace the parallel between the orien-
tai shepherd in his relations to his
flock and Christ in His relations to
His people, but my purpose is rather
to point out the bearing Of this par
able Of the good shepherd upon the
life work Of Christian pastor. For
the name pastor" Is only the Latin
term for shepherd. In the repre-
sentation Of Himself as the great shep-
herd Of the sheep our Lord has
defined exactly what the pastor Of a
congregation should aim to be.
l wish that less were said nowadays
about the authority Of the ministry
and more about its special work. Men
are not driven by authority into the
kingdom of Christ. Our Lord says
that the good shepherd is one who
goes before the flock and, instead Of
driving, leads them. In Palestine the
business Of the shepherd was to lead
his sheep to pasturage where the food
Indispensable to life is to be found. In
the same way the one duty Of the
Christian shepherd is to make sure
that his sheep are fed. That fact
should determine the character Of
prsa ching. Not of necessity the
prea ching which collects a crowd. The
beating Of gong can do that. Nor
the delivery Of learned and eloquent
lectures. Real preaching is that which
feeds the soul. Men go away, not say
ing: How beautiful "How elo-
quent!" but "How helpfulr How 1t
touched my conscience" 'How It
strengthened me for my battlesw
But this pastoral feeding Of the flock
is not limited to pulpit effort The
good shepherd "calls his sheep by
name, and they know his voice. I"
Clearly something Is wrong in our
methods when the minister Is called q
pastor" that is, shepherd, and yet
knows as little Of his people as a rail-
way conductor knows Of the passen-
who Is a stranger to the inner lives
and to the homes Of his people Is like
one who tries to evoke music from the
instrument whose strings or keys he
does not know one from another. In
our great cities the clergy are not
wholly in fault when they have given
up the effort to know their people
Too much outside work is laid upon
them which Iaymen would do as well
or better.
How far from the standard I have
set up to-day my own long ministry
has been I am more conscious than
you But 1t Is the only standard.
When my work is ended. rather than
any other epitaph would have this
written above my dust: "He was q
pastor who fed the flock"

Effect of Cutting Clover.

It is found that red clover produces
more aftermath If the first crop has
not been cut too close, and especially
so, If very sunny weather occurs when
the crown of the root has recently
been exposed. 1t is contended that red
clover is most permanent, and the af-
termath is better when the crop is cut
by the scythe than where the moving
machine is employed. This result has
been ascribed to the cut surface made
by the scythe being somewhat oblique
and so running off the rain, whereas
the cut of the machine Is perfectly
horizontal, allowing the rain to enter
that the greater length of the stubble
generally left by the scythe is the true
cause.-Massachusetts Ploughman.
There are many chances to ruin the
corn crop ere corn husking time. I'M
proper cultivation, adverse weather
and number of things will have their
influences on the yield even after a
good stand has been obtained. One of
the greatest dangers comes from ruin
by the speculator. These men often
ruin a crop at will, but for some rea-
son not known to them they do not
always stay ruined.
To see how little one can do and
how much he can get for 1t is not re-
| ducing the cost Of production

1t is now seen that that is impossible,
and the apparent waiting for Lord

Conservative as well as Liberal papers
as emphasizing the dearth of first class
statesmen III the Conservative ranks.
A large section of the Unionist party
is FESTIVE under the report that Mr..
Balfour is supporting Mr.. Brodrick in
the latter's determination to remain at

Lord Miners reluctance to accept
office is attributed among othcr reasons
to hesitancy to commit himself as a

LITTLE ACCOMPLISHED
AT PUBLIC HEARING.
South AmbOy Council men Hear Ar.
l,uments on Trolley
Question,

The special meeting of the Borough
Council was held in Borough Hall
last night, for the purpose of having
a public hearing regarding the appli-
cation of the JERSEY Central Traction
Company for a franchise through this
borough. Mayor Muirhead, Council.
men Hillman, Kerr, Gallagher and
Haines, Counselor Pearse and CLERK
Birmingham were present.
The mayor invited anyone present
for or against the franchise, to speak.
Joseph Wilson ST., was the first to
speak. He said that the company
should be held to their first applica.
ton. That the majority of the people
wanted the company to run their cars
on Stevens That a represen.
tative of the company had told him
that they would run through Stevens
avenue, through Pine avenue and sc
on.
Mr.. LaGree at first said he had not
told Mr.. Wilson that, but afterwards
admitted that he had. Mr.. Wilson
then asked him why they did not GO
through Stevens avenue. Mr.. LaGree
said it was impossible. Mr.. Kerr
then corroborated what Mr.. Wilson
had said and repeated the statements
made by him at the former meetings.
Councilman Hillman then asked
Kerr what benefit it would be to have
them go through the avenue. Coun-
Gilman Kerr replied to him, giving
the same reason as formerly given by
him.
MI. LaGree said they could not go
through Stevens avenue as they had
not gotten the consent of the majority
of the property and they could
not get by the Catholic school.
Mr.. Wilson said he had been given
to understand by a representative of
the company in this borough, that
they had tfty-one per cent. of the
consents to go through the avenue,
and if they had not, why were they
throwing that kind of a bluff. After
more arguing, Councilman Kerr moved
that the Council adjourn.
Mr.. LaGree jumped up and asked
them to meet as a committee of the
whole, after the public hearing. The
MAJOR said that the motion was before
the house to adjourn, but if Mr.. Kerr
wished to accept of an amendment,
he would put it in that way. Mr.
Kerr said he was willing to withdraw
his motion if any of the councilmen
wished to stay but he could not stay
as he had an engagement and he would
like to be present. Councilman Hill
man then moved that the council ad-
journ to meet as a. committee of the
whole. Mr.. Kerr objected.
The Mayor said, "then I will have
to put the former motion before the
council" and did so. Kerr's motion
was carried.
The mayor then requested those who
r could, to stay and look over the maps,
i. etc., and that Mr.. LaGree would be
present. All the councilmen but MI.
Kerr remained.
