Farming is a better business than
II used to be. Not that 1t was not al

worthy of the vocation whercwith we

There will always be men who are

who does not dream of the time when
he can own n little place in the coun-
try. There he fancies he can live with
his car close to the heart of nature,
rest at night. make a little money, ana
bring his children up in the way they
ought TO go. To-day the farmer Is
the king Of the world. without him
men in the cities would go about hun
CRY, cold and in rags. And they know
It, too. They no longer talk about
farmers as "hayseeds;" they take or
their hats TO him when they meet him
on the street; they like to stop and
talk with him. for they know he II

present time The farmer is making
some money, too. He is probably not
making 1t as fast as some others do.
but there are ten men now with little
nest-egg laid up in the bank where
there was one n short time ago. That
makes him more contented and happy.
Any man Is more so with a dollar in
his pocket. SO farming is taking its
place with the best callings of the
world.

1t is not because women have more

1t Is not because women have less

There are reasons, however, both
numerous and adequate. for the com

knows nothing OF greed and lust and

UNITY A VIRTUE

BY Rey. 4. g. bergen.
Bishop Herder has said Of this charm
ingly beautiful psalm l33dl that il has
the fragrance of lovely rose. The
sain;ed Augustine used 10 say of the
first verse that the sound OF il was so
sweet that ii was chanted even by
persons who knew nothing Of the rest
Of the Psalter. Perhaps nowhere else
in all the Scriptures is the grace OF
unity and fellowship SO faithfully and
50 beautifully illustrated as in this
short ode.
Dwelling together in unity. What is
II and what is 1t like:
Brethren" as here used, means a
spiritual relationship. For such TO
dwell in unity is a blessed experience.
1t means first OF all that the members
of the family or Of the church enter
tain practically the same opinions with
reference 10 their common affairs.
| When this Is true joy thrills the whole
membership.
The dwelling Of God in the hearts
/ of his people unities them in thought
| in any heart where there Is envy or
! jealousy or hatred or strife or evil
! speaking. He does not abide in any
heart filed with hypocrisy and deceit
or with an unforgiviEg spirit He
dwells only where love Is, and II love
be not in our hearts we know that Coo
is not there, for God is love.
