RelipiOn at Ho,ne.

Tie religion of Christ is intensely rrac.
teal. 1t is intended to be manifested in
our home life, just as faithfully as at
church. This is why we can generally
obtain true conception of the sound.
ness of mans faith by spending a few
days in his own home. Many man has
reputation for piety, when his home life
will not bear close inspection. 1t is in
lie hum.drum duties of home that we are
tried. The way we meet the everyday
worries is a better test OF our religion
than the way we behave in church 1t is
comparatively easy to be sweet-tcmpered
when we have nothing to vex us but to
keep our faces bright and our hearts light
amid the uninsprng lahors of weekday
life we need to have the spirit of God
dwelling in our hearts. Such living is
possible. Not only is it possible. but it is
necessary for us if we would live up to
our responsibilities. Our Lord expects
us to be true to Him in our homes. as well
as in church. and we are not fulfilling
His commands when we fail to live every
hour of every day in accordance with the
high standard lie has set before us.
1t is an inspiring thought that we can
take Him with us into the humblest daily
duties. The busy housewife. as she goes
about her task, making a home bright
for those dear to her. is serving the Mas.
ter just as truly and Just MS faithfully as
the preacher in the rulpt. Let lis en-.

He graciousiv accepts every offering of
faithful service of home as well as at

Life is matter Of very small account
to anyone in comparison with duty doing
whether man realizes this truth or not
Whatever is worth living for is worth
dying for, il dying be an incident to its
pursuing. When the Roman General,
Penney, was warned against the danger
of his returning from cvpt to Italy, to
meet a new trouble in his own land, his
lerioc answer was: 1T is a small matter
that should move forward and die. it is
step backward and live" Life is never
well used when it is held dearer than
duty. He who would tell lie in order
to live is willing to pay a great deal
larger price for his life than that life is
worth to himself-or to others.-H. c.

Through the labyrinth OF speculative
thought one may reach the conclusion
that God is the unknown quantity in the he
of a logical syllogism one may deduce the
idea of God as can absentee God sitting

through Christ alone can one learn to de-
fine God in terms of fatherhood. In Christ
alone can one learn that the earth life is
disciplinary process-a curriculum OF
parental love--its defects, its catastrophess,
fee all energies under the control Of in
finite beneficences and compelled to
achieve its purposes, for He, the best be-
loved of the Father, had path OF tears
which ended at the cross, but from the
cross He shed light upon path by which
men find their way to the heart OF God.
From Him we learn that God holds this
nexhaustible sympathy and that He pur::
poses to crown the FRI ~mentary life OF
men with divine completeness and sym
metry. Christ is daily translated into the
terms of our moral life and expressed in
the forms of our human experience. There
is no seminary of theology like that on
Calvary.

bring YOU into touch with God. If we feel
after God we will find Him. If we think
after God we will lose Him. The rela-
tionship between God and ourselves is a
tie of love, and true love is not the of.
spring of logic. The link between God
and ourselves is that between father and
child, and the mystery of parentship and
sonship evades speech and is measured
only by experience.

January 81. %, % and 80. He advises
all inspectors that all necessary ex-
penses will be paid by the respective
counties to which they belong on the
presentation of the proper vouchers
and urges their attendance.
Each inspector is requested to take
to the institute eight varieties of APP
fples and three specimens of each OF
such other varieties as are grown sue
cessfully in the county. The apple
culture of Washington is becoming
more important each year, and special
attention is being paid to this depart
ment of fruit growing by nurserymen
in all parts of the state. The apple is
said to be easily the most promising
fruit the state produces, and, in fact
from early days has been the best rev.
enue producer.
A review of systematic pOmO1ogy in
the state of Washington will have to
accord the apple one of the chief places
OF distinction. There are many varie-
ties grown here, and the number in
creases annually. Special attention
will be paid to apple tree cultivation
at the institute which accounts for the
present request of Mr.. Van Holderbeke
that each county inspector take sam
pies of the varieties grown.
While the circular letter is address,
ed particularly to county fruit inspect
ors. Mr.. Van Hoderbeke wishes to be
understood that cordial invitation is
extended to every fruit grower in the
state to attend and participate in the
