Girl Graduates and June Brides.

Neither the backwardness of the sea-
son, the drought in the east nor the

appearance of those two most delight

girl graduate and the charming June
bride. Nothing can prevent their bud

winds In educational circles. Some of
her bouquets have been wrested from
her, the medals that she has been
proud to win have been called ignoble
prizes unworthy of her consideration
and her blue ribboned graduating the

But never mind. The best of her

ers and her unfailing faith in human
goodness
And the June bride. She, too, is
equally confident and hopeful. No
dreary statistics tending to prove that
divorces are increasing, no records of
matrimonial failures, no remonstrances
against early marriages can shake her
conviction that it is her sacred task IN
show what a true marriage should be
and to wave the conjugal flag before
other anticipating eyes.
1t is indeed well for the world and
for human nature that the girl grad.

NOVEL BOAT CONTROLLER


Device to Direct u Vessels Move
ments From Land
Charles Alden of Dorchester. Mass
recently completed a series of expert.
ments by which he is enabled to con.
trol all the movements of a boat in
mldStream while sitting Oh the bank.
says a Boston special to the New Yorl,
Times.
The device used is similar to the
wireless telegraph. The scene of his
operations is at Milton. on the Ncpon-
set river. Here a long pole wound
with two large coils of wire is SET in
the ground near to an eight volt bat
terry, generator and a transmitter. The
boai, which is seven feet long. is fitted
with an elaborate receiving apparatus.
by means of the tranSmitter on the
shore the inventor sends wireless i'm
pulses to the boat and is able to make
IL weigh anchor, cast off. go ahead,
pack water and perform all other
movements of real vessel.
Alden states that it will be easy to
put such an apparatus into operation
IN large boat, the only thing neces-
sary being tQ direct and send the i'm
pulse from the transmitter on shore to
the receiver on the boat.
The inventor is now at work on
hiouel OF lifeboat to be similarly
managed, and he believes the device
can De put into practice on big boats.

The Hardy OxfOrd-DOwn.

Sheep raisers seem to be becoming
more interested yearly in Oxford
Downs, as they learn of their value as
general purpose breed. The breed
has been tested in all sections of the
country where sheep-raising is profit
able; they have been found to be har-
dy, good feeders, with fleece and car
cass of the best quality. The fleece is
heavy, and when the animals are
properly fed, of the first grade, bring
ing on the market the very highest
price. The animals are healthy and
strong. No definite reports of value
have been received regarding the value
of the breed for crossing purposes,
though there is no reason why it
should not be a success. AS thorough
breds, though quite expensive, they
seem to be all that is desirable, and
hence worth the price. The Farmer
would like to hear from any having
experience with this breed.-Midland
Farmer.

EnnobIes Family Life,

Our Lord has made all the family
relationships more sacred. The spirit
which would dissolve them, which
would dream of a holier life than that
of the household, discipline more
sacred than that of godly family. is
contrary to the spirit of Christ.
Through Him we learn to love our
kindred and friends with a nobler love.
The church is one great family
sharers in the same paretnal care and
heirs to common inheritance. Jeal-
ousies may spring up between the
fondest hearts, and the most passion
ate love may grow cool unless Christ
purify it, He teaches us how to love
brothers and sisters, and even our own
children, Alright. He bids the church
esteem men, not for rank or fashion,
but because they belong to Christ.
Our Lords dying words showed how
dearly He loved His mother, and were
a reflection of the love which she be-
slowed on His infant days. No moth
er was ever more tender and thought
full; no child ever loved mother SO
perfectly. There is no love like His;
and he who possesses it will love his
kindred better, and seek to win them
to the brotherhood of Christ.-James
Gardiner VOse.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Truth wins no friends by exagger-
ation.-United Presbyterian.
There is a beautiful precept which
he who has received an injury. or
thinks he has, would, for his own sake,
do well to follow-"Excuse half and
forgive the rest. "-Anonymous
Every attempt to make others hap
Ply, every sin left behind, every
temptation trampled under foot, every
step forward in the cause of what is
good, is step nearer the cause of
Christ.-Dean Stanley.
1t is well to do our work as to God,
blessed privilege to feel that what
ever we do We may do it to Him; but
it is blessed also to have a day for
communion with Him in which we
need not work.-James Hinton.
Reverence is the chief joy and pow
er of life; reverence for that which is
pure and bright in youth, for what is
true and tried in age, for all that is
gracious among the living. great
among the dead and marvellous in the
powers that cannot die.-John Ruskin
We speak in common phrase of
drawing breath" but the phrase is
not fact. In reality we only make
place for the breath, and the eager air
rushes into our lungs. And that is
but a parable of the way the Spirit
comes into mems lives; they need but
to make place for Him and He fills
them.-Chicago Interior
1t is easier to have opinions than it
is to have convictions. Opinion is a
halfway station between ignorance
and knowledge Opinions, as rule,
are based largely upon conjectures,
while convictions are arrived at by a
careful consideration of the facts.
Often we have loose opinions where
we should have profound convictions.

Every farmer ought to raise clover

Buy milk cans that have the seams

Does it pay to drive our children

There is no question, in sparsely-

HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH.
A Southern Farmer Tells How He
Manages the Ment Question
On His Farm.

In the last few years the high price
Of meat has drawn the attention of our
people to raising hogs and only in a
small way it has been done economic
ally and at a profit. l am an extreme
cotton planter, but have always given
much attention to hogs, cattle and
grass. Let the negro make all the cot
ton he can for it is all he will success
fully do on the farm. Then if you are
large land owner, raise all the grain,
hay and meat you can. You can get
their labor cheaply when they are not
needed in the crop. Make them plant
almost exclusively cotton and sell
them their rations and horse feed.
Most of them want only little money
Christmas. l furnish that to them.
Give all your idle and spare time to
your stock and grass. To be sue
cessful stock-raising and hay-farmer
you must have knowledge and that can
be acquired here only by long years of
experience, a thorough reading of our
southern magazines. You must know
what kind of grass and grains to SOW
ludt 10 ou1IdDlC W Jul CllIildtS anu SOl1
To raise hogs cheaply you must have
good grazing for them every day in
the year. Plant your corn next to
your summer pasture, plant ground
peas in the drill of your corn and fill
all water burrows with peas and have
pasture you must have Red Glover,
Johnson grass, Mellelotus and Bermu-
da. Mellelotus and Red Clover will
furnish you good grazing in February.
Johnson grass in March and Bermuda
all through the summer. Then peal
your corn last of September and turn
your hogs in your ground peas and
field peas. AS soon as they eat up one
field SOW it in grain early in October.
Then put your breeding sows in your
grain fields July with their pigs Turn
them in then till last of March; take
them off and as soon as grain is in
the milk, put them back and let them
eat it up, then plant again in corn and
peas.
feed pigs in pens literally. They
are the only hogs l ever feed corn to.
l sell my hogs off the pea field with
out any corn, either gross or dressed,
and sell hogs from October till April.
Get you a good breed of hogs. have

take from $4,000 to $1,000 to go into
the hog business; then from that ST.

meat besides eating 30 or 40 shoats

hogs are like chickens, you must look
after them every day in the year,.

CREED OF A COLLEGE CLASS.
Good as Far ms 1t Goes. But Omits
some Essentials Of the
Christian Faith.

| An interesting document Is the con-
fession of faith made by the go mem
bers of the graduating t'ass of the Bow
doin college, as given in Inc Outlook by
President Hyde. The president asked
each member of the class to write out
his individual belief and disbelief. Then
he blended the returned papers re-
jecting everything that anyone disbe-
lieved. and concerning all the positive
| beliefs. This composite creed he had
printed, and copy was given to each
| member of the class. Then a session was
| held in which, after two hours of dis
| cussiop and modification, the following
| was unanimously adopted:
Il believe in one God, present in ma
| lure as law, in science as truth. in art
| as beauty, in history as justice, in So
| ciety as sympathy, in conscience as duty,
and Supremacy in Christ as our highest
| ideal.
II believe in the Bible as the express
sion of Gods will through man; in
prayer as the devotion of mans will to
God, in the church as the fellowship OF
those who try to do Gods will in the
world
Il believe in worship as the highest
inspiration to work; in sacrifice as the
price we must pay to make right what
is wrong; in salvation as growth out OF
selfishness into service; in eternal life
as the survival of what loves and is low
able in each individual; and in judg-
ment as the obvious fact that the con-
dition of the gentle, the generous, the
modest, the pure, and the true is al
ways and everywhere preferable to that
of the cruel, the sensual, the mean, the
proud. the false"
This contains nothing to which the
most orthodox could object. Its defects,
says the Baptist Union, are defects of
omission, as was inevitable in the man
ner of it's make-up-a single objection
sufficing to throw out most vital
truth. Probably no member of the class
who has religious experience would
say that it represents what he regards
as essential to a complete confession of
faith. 1t would be very satisfactory
creed for church or minister who de-
sired to suit everybody and antagonize
no one. It's omissions are fatal from an
evangelistic point of view 1t knows
nothing of the Fatherhood of God. the
atonement of Christ, and the mission of
the Holy Spirit 1t says nothing of the
forgiveness Of sin, the renewal of the
heart, or salvation by faith and this
it would leave the convicted sinner to
despair 1t reduces all prayers to the
single formula: THY will be DONE"
and it makes the church fellowship of
men. instead of body whose Head is
Christ. The Lordship of Christ no.
where appears. There is no day of
judgment save that each judges for him
self that it is always and everywhere
better to be good than to be bad Eter-
nal life is survival of what is lovely,
and eternal death is unknown save by
implication. Doubtless it was good
exercise for the boys, but it is TO be
sincerely hoped that no one of them
will stop with so vague a relation to
Christ as that of holding Him simply
as an ideal.

CHRISTIANITY'S BEST PROOF.
Is Not IN the Words and Professiou
of Christians, But in the
! Daily Life.

i The best proof of the divinity Of the
Christian religion is the daily life of
the Christian himself; not his words
and professions, but his conduct and
spirit; not his Sunday garb and serv-
ice, but his everyday tone; not his
church ways, but his home walk. In
the first third of the first century the
world saw the incarnate God-the
Word of God made flesh and dwelling
in human form among men. The nine
teenth and twentieth centuries need
no less than this. They must see God
manifest in the flesh, that human eyes
may now behold, and human hands
now handle the Word of Life; that
the supernatural may be brought with
in our easy reach; that to all inquirers
the church may now say as Jesus said
to the disciples of John: go tell the
things which We Go hear and see," not
deeds of healing wrought in the
flesh, but greater works than these"
works of healing in the spirit, evil
passions subdued, bad habits broken,
burdens of sin removed, blessings of
spiritual life bestowed, steadiness of
purpose and experience through all
outward vicissitudes made clear to a
witnessing world. A life thus setting
forth the power of Christ in this pres
ent time is worth more than all the
books of argument and all the sermons
and lecture courses of a century in
favor. of Christianity. 1t is another
Word of God. living epist1e read and
known of all. 1t is a silent, present,
unshadowed, unanswerable demonstra-
ton. 1t makes doubt impossible. Men
simply feel its force and are silent
then turn to pray.-Bishop John H.
Vincent. $3.50
