Is confused and in full and ignOminious
retreat. The fleeing devil is the only
kind of a devil God would have the soul
know. In the galleries of Heaven is
hung the masterpiece of the ages show
ing the Son of God watching the flee
ing form of the devil. while bright an
gels come lowering down o minister to
Him after He has faithfully resisted his
attacks. But in the Internal regions,
where the devil reigns supreme, the
artist imps are never permitted to
paint such scenes. Ii is tabOOed sub
ject. The devil. like great many peo-
pie, never likes to look at him self as he
really is. He has preserved the picture
of the scene in the garden with his vic
tory over Adam and Eve, and all about
are hung paintings of his subsequent
triumphs-Noah drunk, Moses angry
and arrogant; David. the adulterer and
murderer; Elijah fleeing before the
wrath of wicked Jezebel, and the long
list of other triumphs which he has
gained over the human race; but no.
where can be found the wilderness
scene with Jesus resisting and utterly
routing the devil. The censorship has
been rigid, and the devil has kept his
forces busy expunging from the rec
ords the incidents wherein he has fig
ured ANONYMOUSLY.

M AN experiences so many of the vic
tories of the devil, and witnesses so
few retreats, that he comes almost to
hold the view that the devil is irresisti-
BILE. But it is Gods Word that the flight
of the devil is as certain as the resist
ance is determined. "Resist the devil,
and he Will flee from you." The fleeing
devil is an encouraging and refreshing
picture to get before the soul. Let us
look long and earnestly at it. so that
its truth and meaning may be indelibly
impressed upon the heart. Il is need
less to say that the fleeing devil is a
defeated devil. Look a t thatretreat ting
form! Cowardice gives swiftness to
those flying feet. The cringing out
lines of the figure -betoken baseneSs
and despicable stealth. The blackness
which the devil always heads for when
in flight opens to receive him and is
suggestive of fOulness and destruction
and death. The devil never retreats
until he is defeated but when he is
routed what a despicable creature he
is. But note another thing. The flee
ing devil is an unmasked devil. His
sleeps clothing never covers his hinder
pdIlS. his UlSPulSe WHlcn makes MIN
appear as an angel of light is not am
pie enough to reach all about him.
When he caught a glimpse of one of
Gods angels and determined to have
garments cut after the same pattern
he forgot all about the back breadths
and seams. and his tailors. while care
fully following his instructions, were
able to make for him a garment which
was deceptive in appearance from the
front view, but which never has and
never can be made to meet and cover
behind. So the fleeing devil is an un-
masked devil. From the front view he
looks like anything but the devil he is,
but get him on a run TO the rear and he
is seen in his true light. The chameleon
changes its color to harmonic with the
object to which it is clinging, and the
devil has a similar ability. When the
soul meets him face to face it is hard to
penetrate the disguise and realize that
it is the dew! and not some goodly and
desirable parsonage. But let resist
ance manfully assert itself and demand
TO see the hinder parts, and the gentle
sheep that has come bleating to be
taken into the bosom and fondled and
cherished as Q most desirable posses
sion is discovered to be the ugly. shag-
gy gray wolf which would eat out the
vitals.

THE reason a good many people dis
pute the existence of the devil is
because they have never seen him in
flight. He has so successfully identi-
fed himself with conditions, and
things, and impulses, and desires, and
appetites, and ambitions that his per-
sonality is obscured. But the fact of
the matter is that God and His Word
recognize and speak of him as a real
person from Genesis to Revelation,
and it is something more than an inf1u-
ence or natural human tendency with
which the soul has TO deal. Not only
must the reality of the devil be felt,
but the directions from which his
attacks are made must be clearly un-
derstood. To be forewarned is to be
forearmed. Military success is always
dependent upon the knowledge of the
movements of the enemy and the point
at which the attack is TO be made. To
be surprised is to be half defeated at
the very start. The attacks of the devil

Father Beret hurried to the spot, and
when in the deepening gloom he saw
Adrienne flinging herself violently this
way and that. helplessly trying to es-
cape from the clasp Of man, he did
to perfection what priest is supposed
to he the least fitted to do. Indeed,
considering his age and leaving his vo-
cation out Of the reckoning, his per-
formance was amazing. 1t is not GER

"Oh, Father-Father Beret! Help me!
Help me-"
When Farnsworth recovered from the
breath expelling shock Of the jab In his
side and got himself once more IN a
vertical position, both girl and priest
were gone. He looked this way and
that, rapidly becoming sober and be-
ginning to wonder how the thing could
have happened SO easily. His ribs felt
as if they had been hit with a heavy
hammer.

Farnsworth stood by gazing upon

Thorough Tillage Necessary.

To get the best results from the soil,
thorough tillage is absolutely necessary.
Thorough tillage for one man is ,tif-
ferent proposition from what another
farmer considers adequate working OF
the soil. One farmer uses the best tools
obtainable, and puts on all the horse
power necessary to force them through
the earth at the proper depth. He is
not content with going over the groand
so many times, but the ground mus Do
thoroughly pulverized and the huhuS
effectively mixed with the upper and
lower soil. The hard particles of earth
must be broken and ground until the
plant roots are able topenetrate between
the fine particles and absorb the neces-
sary plant growth to make the maximum
Weld of stock and seed. Another farm
ar who works just as hard, but fails to
manage so well, uses tools that are not
appropriate to the work in hand. The
draft on a deep cultivator or harrow or
other pulverizer is terrible bugbear to
him: his horses are light and the work
worries him. Consequently he sets the
implements to run easier, the work Is
not done thoroughly, he is short OF beip
and hurries the seed into the ground
without proper preparation. =,
The first man gets big yield OF the
hest of its kind, and farming with him is
a pleasure; while his neighbor harvests
an inferior crop of poor quality and lie
is a burden. The reason for these con-
ditions is that the one man understands,
he realizes that to obtain results he must
apply the proper principles intelligently
and forcefully at the proper time. At
tention to details is with him matter
of business, realizing their Importance,
and gives the necessary time and atten-
tion to see that they are carried out.
He prefers to work one field thoroughly
in preference to balf-hearted, slipshod
manner of slithering over great deal
more ground. His experience and tusi'
ness acumen have taught him that it
nays TO do 80. The trouble with many
farmers is that they read and think too
little. they are conservative in the ex'
treme. 1t is difficult for such man TO
adopt new methods. He understands
the old way of doing things and considers
AN innovation just as much foolishr ess

out a most complete organization, COW
ering portions of Kennebec, Waldo and
Somerset counties. The enthusiasm of
Waterville men was contagious and If
every section had as much enterprise
and zeal the State would increase rapid
ly. Mr.. Norman j. Fuller of Winslow
presided, facing an audience which must
have pleased Mayor Davis when he
delivered his address of welcome, in
which the charms of the Kennebec val,
lev. the beauties of Waterville and the
possibilities of the far were happily
blended. The constitution adopted is
the most elaborate of any in the state.
Membership for life is fixed at 81, and
large numbers joined. The officers
elect are:
