Little kIndnesses are within the
power of all. We are never shut into
80 small corner that we have not
some connection with some heart
that will be the happier for loving
word or gift of embrance.
AS we 60 to God with our requests
we often ask for too little; we cannot
ask for too much. Our hearts are en-.
larged as we enlarge our desire for a
larger blessing.
He will not send thee into wood to
fell an oak with a penknife. When
He calls thee to work thou never
didst, He will give the strength thou
never hadst.
True greatness consists in being the
best and doing the best that our nature
is capable of. 1t is making the most
of ourselves. 1t is the complete devel-
opment of all our powers.
God often works more by the life of
the illiterate seeking the things that
are Gods than by the ability of the
learned seeking the things that are
their own.
Not till we are ready to throw our
very life's love into the troublesome
little things can we be really faithful
in that which is least and faithful also
in much.

Cattle fed on shredded corn stover have re-
peatedy topped the live stock market in

shredded corn stover make 1t an ideal stock
food, easily accessible 10 all farmers.
The size and price OF huskers and shredders
until recently, made 1t impossible for the
small grower TO secure machine for the pre-
paration OF corn fodder. The advent OF the

grower to enjoy all the benefits Of shredded
corn stover. The Deeripg Four. Roll Husker
and Shredder is a strong reliable machine
designed especially for the larger grower or q
club Of farmers.
The scientific construction OF the Deering

produced by Deeripg machines especially
wholesome and nutritious. Deering shredded d

the gardner. "You must 90 to work

1t is wise saying, and it is true in

or, "I can't he forgiving," as if they
were not responsible for the growths
in their soul garden, because the soil is
poor. But ''any ground can be made
fit for the 70. es, and any heart can be
made fit for the loveliest blossoms of
character, if we try, with Gods help,
to prepare it for their growth.

Faith without Works.
associate Reform Presbyt yterian.

Not long ago In preaching to congregation
the greater part of whom were strangers TO
US, we asked all who believed the Bible to
stand up. We then asked all who had read
through even the New Testament 10 rise.
The greater part kept their seats.
or course II is possible TO believe that the
Bible Is true Without knowing what Is In 1t.
We may believe 1t because other people say II
Is true. But the kind Of faith that .allows Us
to be con tented In such ignorance is just as
good as no faith at all. There Is as much dill
ference between that and real faith as there
is between a corpse and living man.
And there is a great deal Of that kind OF
faith around us. The greater part OF those
out of the church will neither take issue with
the gospel nor accept 1t. They claim to be-
lieve 1t, but they care for none of those things.
We preach not what men do not believe but
what they do not want.
