VARIED CONDITIONS
OF EUROPEAN CROPS
Spain, Syria and Italy the Only Countries
Making Favorable Reports.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March 20-The
foreign statistical agent of the department
Of agriculture in his report on the con
dition Of growing crops in the principal
countries says, under date of March 8:
In Russia severe frosts late in Febru-
airy are supposed to have done considera-
BILE damage. German crops have been
benefited largely by recent heavy precipi-
tation. The outlook in Ausuia-Huugary
Is unsatisfactory, especially as to late
sown crops. The condition of Roumanian
crops is quite favorable. A consular re
port from Beirut represents the condition
of the crops of Syria as very good. The
Italian crops are mainly favorable. Span
lsh crop reports continue favorable. Win
ter grain in France has been damaged by
alternate freezing and thawing in the
absence. Of protection by snow. Late ac-
ers are feeling considerable anxiety as to
impending danger from a return Of Sc
we're weather. In Great Britain February
was an exceptionally dry month, and
such frosts as have occurred have
checked somewhat the too rapid growth
Of vegetation and mellowed the ground"

This is the refrain of the present
passage, by grace are We saved" A

boosters, after the fashion of the

ceived. Gods mercy is our only

The Poems of God.
Prof. Moulton says that poem"
means creation, and that most verse
is not poetry, because it is not a new
creation. He quotes as an illustration
of the real meaning of poem" this
passage from PauPs letter: I'VE are
His poems" The common translation
IS workmanship" but the original is
the Greek word of which poem" is q
reconsideration. The thought is a sug-
gestive one, especially in view of the
later significance that has come to be
attached to the word poem" PauPs
meaning is that the Christian is a new
creation; as truly a creation as was
Adam or Eve. We do not grow into
salvation; we are created anew in
Christ Jesus.
The purpose of this creation is the
closing thought of the lesson. We are
created IN Christ Jesus unto good
works" The duty and destiny of the
Christian is service. Good works
should be natural to the new man; he
is made for them, as the locomotive
IS made for the rails and for the pull
ing of trains. Sometimes the IocOmo-
tive jumps the track or in other ways
is wrecked, and sometimes the Chris
tan stumbles and falls in his mission
OF goodness; but the locomotive is,
nevertheless, for the track and the
Christian for good works. AS the test
of locomotives fitness is it's power
| to run and pull on the rails, so the
test Of a Christians religion is his
service to his fellow men in the name
of his Master.

eFSe comments on the Uniform
Prayer Meeting Topics of the Chris
tian Endeavor Societies, the Baptist
Young Peoples Union, Etc, for
March 22-"Lessons From the Ser
mon on the Mount; What Christ
Teaches About Judging Others
Matt, viii, is.
The keen eye of Jesus saw the
tendency in human nature to substi-
tute criticism of the imperfectiOns of
others in place of virtue in ones self.
He manifested least patience toward
the class which, as a whole, was en-
gagged in this practice. The Pharisees
were so busy regulating the morals
and manners of everybody else, and
in thanking God for their own virtues,
that they had no time for humble
self examination. They acted on the
principle that if they were able to
point out the defects of others, that
fact took the place of the correspond
ing virtue in themselves. Even today
the notion that ability to see a fault
in another is equivalent to having it's
opposite is not altogether unknown.
The Pharisees, and their modern sue
cessOrs, had not progressed far
enough along the road of real culture
and religion to know that it requires
a finer order of talent to refrain from
criticism than to indulge in it.
Only love should be allowed to criti-
else, for love alone see straight.
It is the unripe and the fnexperi-
enced who judge their fellows most
quickly and harshly. The person who
himself has lived much is usually slow
to condemn another, for he has felt
something of the others temptation;
and in himself he has known at least a
measure of the others sin. Experience
begets fOrbearance. observation-disclosures
is always the result of ignorance or
narrOWneSS.
What We see and what we say reveals
what we are.
The law is supposed to put its best
men on the judges bench, for the high
est wisdom and the broadcast expert
ence are not enough to make a perfect
judge and to qualify man to sit in
final decision on the acts of his fellow
men. If no man is fully qualified to
judge of his fellows obedience or dis
obedience to the human law, who is
qualified except the Great Judge, whose
other name is Love, to pass judgment
upon mems actions with respect to the
divine law? Yet even the least Of US
is airily willing to sit in judgment upon
almost any act of anybody, with little
or no knowledge of the facts involved!
All, the foolishness and the sorrow of
it! AS we appeal to heaven for judgy-
ment ourselves, may we not accord to
our brother the same privilege, with
holding our own petty opinion in the
meantime?
The nearer we approach to Christs
likeness, the more readily we. exercise
His charity.
Ability to see others sinfulness is not
Saintliness.
Consciousness is a sign of self
righteousness, which, in the eyes Of the
meek and lowly Jesus was one of the
greatest of sins.
The Christ-lOve in the heart can keep
the censoriOus word from the lips.
Every time we judge our neighbor
we assume a prerogative that God re-
serves for himself.
