Too Cool for Crops.

According to reports to the
United States Weather Bureau, crop
conditions in Tennessee are thus
summarized: The week, while IA
vorable for farm work, was too cool,
and especially during the latter half
for the proper growth of vegetation,
and light frosts were reported at
scattered parts on the 18th, mostly
on the highlands. Cultivation and
the cleaning out of the growing
crops of corn and cotton progressed
rapidly, and these are much i'm
proved, although somewhat checked
by the cool weather, the latter being
very seriously affected. Wheat har-
vest is in full progress; the crop is
only fair and quite disappointing
as to prospective yield, being in
many sections seriously affected by
rust. Oats generally, are fine; Irish
potatoes and gardens are in good
condition of growth. Tobacco has
large acreage, and is growing we'll,
although in some places cut worms
are injuring the young plants Hav-
ing progressed favorably during the
week. Large areas have been seeded
to peas and millet. Apples and
grapes promise fair crops.

THERE are two aspects to this mes
| sage of John. One its bearing upon
the unregenerate soul, and the other
having to do with the soul that has
been born again. Both are called to an
attitude of repentance. One to the
saving of the soul, the other to the
putting off, more and more, of the flesh
and the putting on more and more of
Christ. Repent, o Soul! that has
not felt the cleansing and saving power
of Jesus blood, because 'sthe Kingdom
of Heaven is at hand" Repent, o
Christian! because upon the failures of
to-day you are to mount by the help
of Jesus to a newer and better self
tomorrow There is to be practical
evidence in your life of that repent
ance 1t is not the cry of the soul
when in peril and face to face with
death, and then utter forgetfulness of
that cry when the peril is passed and
deaths grim hand has been withdrawn
without claiming his victim. All, how
often is wrung from the lips the agon-
lied cry of seeming repentance, and as
the storm passes and the bark of life
once more apparently sails on a quiet
sea, the soul forgets the cry and the
peril. And again on it goes in its in
difference to its desperate need, while
just ahead are the rapids and the brink
of eternity. That cry in the hour Of
peril was not the cry of repentance.
Had it been so, the fruits of that re-
pentance would have wrought the al
tered life.

Consolidation Blocked.

The effort of Col. J. q. Hetter-
man and his associates to get con-
troll of the Union Stock Yards in
Nashville has eventuated in an ap-
phcation for a receiver for the con-
Germ, filed by j. D. Guyton of the
Guyton-Harrison Mule Company Of
Kansas City, who have lease on
the plant. As soon as Guyton heard
that Hetterman was buying up the
stock he also entered the market,
and, after securing quite block of
it, concluded to go to the courts.
Quite a number of Kentucky peo-
pie are interested in the enterprise,
and Mrs. Hetty Green of New York
is also a stockholder. 1t is claimed
the company owes $4,000, and that
stock certificates to the amount Of
$266,000 are outstanding. A pre-
iminary injunction was granted. l.,

pentdnce would nave wrought the al
tered life.
[ LERE is the soul conscious of sin
l and manifesting repentance, and
yet longing and desiring to take
with it all the old life with
it's indulgences. The soul is
alarmed over the thought of what it
must give up. 1t clings to former as
sociates. habits and manner of life.
Where this is the case, measure the
degree of repentance. Such repentance
is either infinitesimally small, or else
altogether a negative quantity. Re-
pent! but bring forth fruits meet for
repentance. In this matter of re-
pentance there are just two who are
involved-God and the soul. God the
righteous One and man the sinner.
When the sinner takes his eyes off God
and focuses them upon the things
about him these temporalities are mag
nifed and the sense of God is lost.
With this comes lessened degree of re-
pentance, and so little of the fruits OF
repentance in the life as to be hardly
perceptible. This is one of the sad con-
ditiOns in the churches to-day. Low
cred standards. and the bringing of the
world into the activities of the
churches and the lives of the Chris
tians, are reducing the consciousness
of the need of repentance. John the
Baptist and his message are needed to-
day. The cry must be raised on every
hand: Repent yei Repent ye! Re-
pent. unsaved soul, because your peril
is great, the time is short, and Jesus
stands patiently waiting to enter over
the roadway of your sincere repent
ance. Repent, Christian! of that
love for the world and the things of
the world which is so filling your heart
and life Repent of that Indifference
towards the lost souls all about you.
Repent of your selfish love of ease
which permits you to stay away from
Gods house when you as a member
there have a regular appointment to
meet your Lord there and help sustain
His worship. Repent of your shallow
ness and hypocrisy which encourage
and allow you to get up and testify in
meeting to repentance for past short
comings and aspirations for better
life, and which, like the vapor which
NdIlSneS DcIOTe lHC SCdICHlhS Aoy = OA
the sun, disappears utterly before the
light, glib, gossipy conversation which
fills Gods house after meeting. Re-
pent because you go away from the de-
votional meeting or the preaching serv-
ice thinking not of God and His serv-
ice, speaking not to the honor and
praise of the Lord. but in sharp criti-
cism of the preacher, of the service,
and of pretty much every one who
came under your notice. Repent, o
Christian! because your life at home
and in the office bellies most awfully
your profession.

THE SCRAPBOOK.

With all the other epidemlcs present
and threaee hing, there runs along that
of keeping a scrapbook. Almost every
man, woman and child has it in some
stage or other, for there are many
stages. Some never get beyond the
f1rst-that of buying the best book to
be found and slowing away loosely in
it a bundle of clippings to be pasted in
at the first opportunity. The opportun-
ity never comes really, but just threat
ems to set in every time one who has
passed through succeeding stage
tells of his experience. Some persons
again let their scraps accumulate, and
have one happy season of FASTING;
while others paste from day to day, al
most from hour to hour, the subjects
suitable for this preservation process.
There's no end to the variety of
things that may compose a scrapbook.
1t may be collection of ones own
effusions published or refused such
honor, or it may be simply newspaper
pictures or monograms, or hotel letter.

Of keeping as many scrapbooks as
there are subjects for them, and
thereby become the possessor of a
scrapbook library, to be consulted
once in a decade on rainy days by the
compiler, and to be thrown into the
dustheap when the compiler's heirs
and assigns are faced with the ques-
ton Of what they shall do with it.
Perhaps one heir and assign in mil
lion will have among his emotional as
sets fondness and respect for any
thing which is evidence of the de-
ceased compiler's handiwork, and so
cherish the collection; but the per-
