Miss Blodgett's Lecture.

The subject of Miss Blodgett's lesson
Yesterday afternoon was the cross The
subject was considered from three stand
points: Gods part in the crucifixion'
Chrst's part, our part.
Gods heart was bound up in His Son.
In the Old Testament God came to Abra-
ham and asked for his son, the son of
promise. the well beloved son, and yet
when Abraham in great faith was about
to offer up Isaac, We all know. how God
stayed his hand and delivered his son to
him again. God did for human beings
infinitely more than He asks of any man.
He spared not His own Son, but freely
gave Him a ransom for many. No mat
ter what comes into your life, look at the
cross and there see what Gods great love
has done for you.
Christ's part on the Cross. He endured
the cross, despising the shame for the joy
set before Him. What was this joy?
Not honor, not the worship of angels, not
even the Fathers love, but the infinite
joy OF lifting human beings from sin to
the enjoyment of eternity with Him.
Nothing could ever turn Him from this
great purpose. When friends would per-
from His enemies He set His face stead
tasty to go up to Jerusalem. Never once
did He falter Even in Gethsemane, when
Satan made his strongest effort to fruS-
trate His plans, andlit seemed His very
life would be crushed by physical agony,
He cried out, Father if it be possible
let this cup pass from me- His intense
desire was to accomplish salvation for
you and for me. He was wounded for our
transgressions, and by His stripes we arc
healed. Have you ever read these chapters
and made a personal application of all
He has done for you? At the foot of the
cross look up and say this was for me
He was made sin for us, the One who
knew not sin, was spotless and undefiled
and yet in some wonderful manner God
relied upon Him the crushing load of
sn. Then it was that the awful cry burst
from Him: "Why hast Thou forsaken
Me-"
Separated from the Father He went out
into the utter darkness of souls, shut out
from the Fathers presence. Is Christ's
call for al surrendered life too great for
Him to make?
He prayed for all who should believe
on His name, and khat they should be
one with Him. God says every one who
receives His Son on the cross is in vital
union with Him and dies with Christ. is
buried with Christ and with Him is raised
to ncwness of life. Once and forever il
we accept salvation through Him our
judgment is passed, and His life is given
us and we hate sin, and are enabled to
live the new life through Christ Jesus
our Lord.

TO MEET IN RALEIGH
Great Convention of Farmers
Here in July.
A Typical Farmers Institute With Round Table
Talks, Cations and Addresses Full of
Information.

There will be a convention of the North
Carolina Farmers Protective Association
at Raleigh in the buildings of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and Me
chanic Arts on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. July 20, 80 and 81. Rooms and

ering, the greatest ever held in North
Carolina for the promotion of agricul-
ture. Those in attendance will have an
opportunity to examine the agricultural
work of the college in all lines and to at
tend free of charge the exercises of the
Summer School of agriculture and nature
study which will be in session at that
time A special schedule of lectures and
addresses on agricultural subjects will be
carried out; typical farmers institute
will be conducted; round table talks will
be held inspiring orations and addresses
will be delivered by eminent writer's and
speakers; the interests OF the farmer will
be discussed, and nothing will be left I'M
done to make the convention a milestone
in North Cardinals agricultural progress.
Every county in the State should be rep
resented by a practical farmer, and at
least 500 farmers should be in attendance.
Similar conventions have been held in
Tennessee at the A. and NJ. College for
twenty-seven years and thousands of far
mers have attended them. Surely the
Old North State can do as her daughter
Tennessee. Let us all unite our forces
and do better.

The Loss Of a Horseshoe.

The loss Of horseshoe exerted a
tremendous influence in the history and
reign Of Henry VIII. Of England. Aft
er the fall of Anne Boleyn the papacy
prepared overtures Of reconciliation so
favorable to the king that he concluded
to accept them. A representative was
sent from Rome with the dispatches,
and when only a days journey from
Calais the horse cast shoe and fell
lame. As the horse was q favorite
animal, the messenger determined to
wait for a day rather than take. the
chances of losing the horse. The next
day the journey was resumed and Lon
don was reached. to find that Henry
that day had been married to Jane
Seymour. Protestant, that Anne had
been beheaded the day before. and all
hope of reconciliation was lost. The
messenger was day too late, and the
horseshoe had changed the bent of the
nations history.

Weeping Trees.

In the forests Of Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and British Columbia
there is species Of tree that has a
continuous and copious dripping Of
pure, clear water from the ends Of its
leaves and branches. This extraordi-
nary sight may be witnessed at all sea-
sons when the leaves are on and seems
equally plentiful on clear, bright days
as on damp. cloudy nights. The tree is
species of fir. and the weeping" phe-
nomenon is attributed to remarkable
power Of condensation peculiar to the
leaves and bark Of this species Of ever
green.
In the island of Ferro there are many
species of weeping trees" but in this
latter case the tears" appear to be
most abundant when the relative hu-
nudity is near the dew point.
