HEAD-FAITH; HEART-FAITH.
The Latter L. what Gives Efficiency
Brightness and Bloom to
Character.

Faith, the great essential of salvation
and union with God, includes both head
and heart. Faith of the head may exist
without that of the heart. The devils
have it and tremble But heart-faith
says Bishop H. w. Warren, goes far be-
yond. 1t may build on head-faith for a
foundation, but foundation is an abor-
ton without the superstructure.
Heart-faith is spiritual perception of
the invisible realities of religion. Faith
is the giving of substance to things hoped
for, the test of the things not seen. II
ventures on Gods side when PROBABLE
tiles are equal, on the guarante of some
thing within, which makes hte thingtrue
because loved" How much more is re-
ceived from statement of wifeor child
beloved than from the same statement OF
Herodotus or Pliny. So credence OF
statements from God loved with all the
heart, soul and might, means more than
acceptance of the same statements OF
God unloved
This distinction began to be preached
by Moses: 'If thou turn unto thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy soul. -
Deut. 30: 10) And this word" is
quoted by Paul: "If thou shalt believe
In thy heart for with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness. -
(Romans 10: 9-10.)
We marvel to find these fine metaphys-
ical distinctions away back in what we
are wont to esteem the beginnings of
thought. The grand Shima that was
meant to be taught to every Jewish child
thus Disseminated: Hear, o Israel:
the Lord our God is one Lord. and thou
shat love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart and with all thy soul and with all
thy might" Paul perpetuates the dis
tinction. 81 pray God your whole spirit
and soul and body be preserved blame
less"
1t is not strange that God seeks the
whole of His children, since He gives the
whole of Himself to them. "All things
are yours, things present, or things to
come"
We often hear the recitation of the
magnificent credo by thousands. To their
hearty and thorough head-faith in the
theological propositions, how we wish a
tender and loving heart-faith could be
added.
This is TO be wished because II adds
so much efficiency, brightness and bloom
to character. A rose is beautiful to the
eye. Besides that, it is atmosphered afar
with delicious fragrance. Besides that,
some roses are freighted more previously
by being made the expression of ore
hearts love for another. So men may be
as pure as diamond, strong as steel. but
a heart-faith atmospberes them with so
much love that Il fills all space and all
time, for all men and for God besides.

new in them. --s TOOK back through
the centuries. sine Christ came TO this
earth in human form. and The hostile
critics of each age have substantially
affirmed the same things. Judas thought
so meanly of Christ that he sold Him
for few pieces OF silver, and consid-
cred he had safely finished the trans
action. The high priests and the San
hedrin arrogated to themselves
power to try Christ. PLATE imagined
that he could send Christ to the cross.
Felix. Festus and King Agrippa, looked
upon Paul, the first great Christian
missionary, as mild sort of mailman.
The satirists of Rome, and the phil
osophers of Athens poured contempt
upon the Christian doctrines. and
proved to their own satisfaction that
they were not worthy of the credence
of men of their intelligence.
But how did it all turn out? Judas
went and hanged himself. Plate saw
his power Knocked when Christ rose
from the dead. Felix, Festus and
Agrippa were not trying Paul, but
Paul, preaching Christ, was trying
them. We see now with clear vision
the littleness of the objections of the
early satirists and philosophers. Ev-
cry attempt to put Christ in a tomb
and seal it with mockings and jeers,
has been followed by a resurrection
The worship Of the gods and goddesses
ceased, and their splendid temples
went down, before the rising power of
Christ
Christianity has never been on trial
and never will be on trial before any
bar OF human Judgment; on the con-
trary all thing come before it to be
Judged.
Civilization is really on trial before
Christianity. A progressive civiliza-
ton must be shaped to meet the de-
mands of Christianity or it is doomed.
The individual man and the civiliza-
ton of the age, are not judging The
Christ, but The Christ is judging them:
II they do not respond to His appeals
Tor righteousness, purity, love and
truth they condemn themselves.

Poor Cream Closed Faetorx.

Poor cream caused the closing OF u,
new creamery in Minnesota recently.
The buildings had been erected and
equipped at considerable expense and
everything was first-class. A large
supply of cream was received, but the
cream itself was very poor. The,
farmers said they had too much work:
to do to bring their cream in more
than once week, and the consequence
was that the cream received was of ex-'
ceptionally poor quality. The butter
made was Of course correspondingly
poor and the money received for it was
not sufficient to pay expenses and yield
q profit. Hence the creamery shut
down. 1t was found to be impossible
to build up valuable reputation onl
poor butter.-Farmers Review.

Good Road. ana scb.,,.

Good roads are absolutely essential
to the development of good schools in
the rural districts, and both together
are necessary to the progress of civili-
zation in this country. Good roads are
scarce. partly because the need of them
is not sufficiently recognized and partly
because so few know how to make them
even when they Try. Good schools are
scarce for precisely the same reasons.
When country schoolhouse looks like
an abandoned outbuilding and has the
worst piece of road in the neighborhood
leading up to it, that district may al
ways be considered an excellent district

FALL CARE OF cows.
"he" Pastures Are Getting Bnre III
Pays 40 Haul N Little Fodder
to the Field.

In the feeding OF dairy cows two sea-
sons are recognized by the average
aairyman. These are the winter feed
ing season and the summer season. In ,
The former case the animals are entire
y dependent upon what grain and fod-
Her are allotted to them, there being no
opportunity for grazing afforded. The
very opposite of this is true during tho
summer season, the animals being ex-i
pected to hunt their own living. The
transition from one season to another
frequently causes a falling of in the
milk supply. This is particularly true
In the fall when the animals are left to
shift for themselves after the nights be-
come cold. The fact is lost sight of
that dairy animal is of rather delicate
constitution, and on this account can
not withstand the hardships which the
beef animal can bear
1t is an exceedingly good plan to al
low cows to have shelter at night after
The first of October If they are put
In the stable or in sheds and fed a small
grain ration night and morning, to-
gether with little fodder, they will lib
orally respond to such treatment at
milking time, and will more than pay
Tor the food fed in this way, and the la
Dor involved in caring for them. While
the days remain warm they are just
as well out in the pasture, as there is
no food better adapted for milk pro-
auction than good grass. Grass is also
economical. and for this reason one
Should endeavor to extend the grazing
season Just as long as possible. If pas
lures are getting a little bare. it will
generally pay TO haul little fodder to
the field. This may be cornfodder,
sorghum, Kaffir corn, millet or any
crops OF this character. II is never
a good plan to turn COWS onto frosted
grass after having kept them in the
stable during the night, it being much
better to keep them housed until the
grass is approaching dryness.-Midland

Water REQUIRED by Hor..x

Less water is required when the ration
consists largely of concentrated feeds
than when large amounts Of coarse fod-
der are consumed. OF course when
green, succulent feeds are given the
amount Of water needed is comparative
ly small. Horses consume from rs to 90
pounds of water day, depending upon
the amount OF labor they perform. At

ROADS AT ST. LOUIS.
PRESIDENT of Exposition Outlines
Plans for Exhibits and n Great
International Convention.

President d. r. Francis, of the ST.
Louis Exposition committee, is an en-
thusiasic advocate of improving the
common roads of the country. He is
planning to give good roads a prom
inent feature OF the exposition. In a
recent interview he said:
TT is the desire Of the management
to discover the best material from
which roads can be made. We shall
permit those interested in different
kinds of road-making material and the
different designers of plans for country
roads to display their materials and
plans in order that the people of all sec
tons may determine which are the best
materials and methods for making high
ways.
We hope, also, by having a great in
ternational good roads convention In
connection with the exposition to in
crease the interest which is felt in this
country and throughout the world in
the making Of good roads. Anyone who
has been in countries where there are
good roads knows how much easier life
Is there. I can remember when 1 was
living on farm myself. The farm was
not on turnpike, but three miles away
from it, and If we had been able to de-
vote to filling the soil and looking after
the stock the energy and the time
wasted in traversing those three miles
OF dirt road we would have been able
to pay so times over the interest on the
money required to build three miles of
good road
In travelling through Europe about
two months ago, in pursuance of official
duties, L was impressed with the very
superior roadways of that continent.
ours cannot be classed with them. 1t
Is a very ordinary circumstance in
France or Belgium to hear of Ameri-
cans who are starting out on tour
OF 90 or 100 miles in parties of three or
four vehicles and 20 to SO people.
They spend large amounts of money in
the country through which these tours
are taken. What is left there by the
tourists who take advantage of these
good roads is itself sufficient to pay the
interest upon the cost Of those roads.
TT is not only desirable from the
selfish standpoint OF material interest.
to have good roads regardless Of their
cost, but from the standpoint of our
own pleasure. the culture of a COM
munity, and the enlightenment of the
individuals who traverse these roads.
1t is not only wise, but it Is duty to
remove an obstacle to Advancement
which can be so easily removed as bad
roads"

THE SURE PATHWAY.
Best Results of Christian Life Are
Never Left to Observation-Disclosures
Way Is Plain.

One comforting thing about the
Christian life is that its best results
are never left to accident, says Rev. G.
=. Pierce, in the Christian Work The
whole way is so plain that no one need
to miss it. and the final results are so
certain that no one need to be in doubt
about them. One of the curses which
was to rest upon the Jewish race. in
case they turned away from God. was
that, their life should hang in doubt"
before them. How remarkably was
this sure word of God fulfilled in the
subsequent history of this people! But
the assurance OF Gods Word eyery-
where is that they who commit their
way unto the Lord shall walk in a
sure pathway growing brighter and
brighter unto the perfect day" To
Gods people peace and quietness. and
assurance forever" is promised. And
how wonderfully has this promise ever
been fulfilled! The children of God
have not been free from care and
trial and burden. Far from IL. the
faithful servants Of the Master have
often been called on to endure much
for His names sake; but there need
never be any doubt as to the ultimate
outcome. Like a man who knows he
Is on the right road that leads with no
turnings to the desired goal. those who
enter the straight and narrow way"
are absolutely certain to reach the re-
ward in the end. The working of no
natural law is so certain. the sure
linking of cause and effect in the things
which pertain to this life are never
so absolutely certain that the expect
ed end will be attained, as that the
man who obeys God and seeks His way
with all his heart, will reach the
highest and the most desirable goal of
life.
1t was this fact, and the full compre-
hension OF it, that made all the old
God-sent heroes of Bible times so
monumental in their faith and cour-
age. Daniel, in the face of what
seemed certain death; Paul, following
out the pathway of truth in the pres
enee of innumerable opposition, and
long list of others. were men who ZEN
dured as seeing Him who is invisible"
because there was ever in their hearts
the sure conviction that they were in
line with Gods desires, and the feel
ing that this way was the "sure path
way"
Never has the world needed men like
this more than to-day, and there has
never been time in the history of
humanity when The way In which true
men ought to walk was palmer than
now. He who follows this pathway
will still have the opportunity to lead
the heroic life, and will be sure of the
hero's reward in the end.

neighborhood, which had followed the
building of unusually good roads. He
received replies from 40 farmers and the
average amount of the increase was
$6.4s per acre. Under the present con-
ditions of most country roads, it costs q
farmer living ten miles from the mar
ket about $3.50 to haul $25 worth of
