GETTING RIGHT WITH GOD.

AS the hot Walls of divine condemna-
ton were opened. through Isaiah's ut
terance, upon Judah's hypocrisy, sc
the wrath of God and the contempt of
man are directed toward the person
Who wilfully hides rascality behind re-
ligiosity; who makes churchliness the
cloak of crookedness. and serves the
devil in the livery of heaven. h per-
feet loathing of the pure and true GOD
for such an offense may be read in the
burning passage included within the
tenth and fifteenth verses of this chap
ter, closing, when we make many
prayers, ! will not hear; your hands
are full of blood"
The only hope OF Judah was in a
right-about-face. Sam Jones' "Quit
your Meanness" is true preaching n
1t has its warrant here. There is no
hope for Il people or for a single heart
when sin is knowingly cherished. God

who will not abandon evil ways. Judah
NUS just get right with God before she
could get aught from God. There can
be no with those who wish to
continue at enmity with the Lord.
Therefore. the forccful ethical appeal in
the sixteenth and seventeenth verses.
LET US REASON TOGETHER.
This condition accepted, God is will
ing to reason. To the penitent he
shows utmost consideration. In the
famous line with which the lesson
closes, the greatest condescension is
shown: Come now. and let us reason
together: ...... though your sins be
as scarlet. they shall be as white as
snow; though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as WOOL Here is revealed
the tender side of the Jehovah who in
his justice was seen. a few lines before,
to be terribly inexorable. God hates sin,
with a hatred inconceivable to any but
the sinless ones of heaven; but he loves
the sinner. with n depth of love which
could find expression only In the Offer

Judah would accept the gracious invi-
tation to consider her situation in calm
conference with her King. there could
be but one issue: A resolute turning
toward righteousness. Wilful impeni-
tence. however, and a refusal to listen
to the tender word. was within her
power, for freedom Of choice is the di-
vine crown which the Creator has
placed upon the human brow. This is
the dread responsibility of those who
were mad with capacities for the best
things; they may choose the worst, and
SO choosing, lose their capacity for the
best.

PARKER's HOME LIFE.

If little is known about Judge
A. B. Parker's semi-public life,
comparatively nothing has been
told of his home existence, says
an exchange.
He lives on a beautiful farm
about sixty miles south of Alba
ny, on the banks of the Hudson
river, at a little flag station on
the Lake Shore railroad called
Esopus. Now, Esopus is a dlgni-
fed name, hence one expects to
find dignified town. But one
is disappointed. Few Of the trains
stop there, unless ordered to do
so for some distinguished guest.
The quickest way to reach it is
to drive there from Kingston, 8
miles north. This the way Judge
Parker gets there. There is a tiny
flagman's shanty at the crossing,
which serves for a station, too.
A long, winding road leads east
to the Hudson river and to Rose
mount, the judges country home.
1t is pretty bad road. too. Near
the railroad is a small frame ho.
tel and bar-room. Its principal
ly bar room. Further up is the
general store of the village.
A mile east, on the brow of the
huge hill, lies Rosemount. 1t
consists of ninety acres of rich
land, surrounded by a stone wall,

framed house and series of

adj0urns for two weeks to write
opiniens, and Judge Parker
spends most of his time in the
library.
Invariably he s4rises at 5 a. m.
and goes out for a ride of five or
ten miles through the country
and mountain roadside goes in
a canter. Often he stops for a
chat on homely farm affairs with
some distant neighbor.
After breakfast, roughly attir~
ed in farm clothes, he goes over
his estate with his men. He is a
very successful farmer, but his
chief delight is fine cattle. His
bunch of Polled Angus is consid-
cred the finest in the State, and
in room in the barn is a frame
of blue, red and white ribbons,
awarded them in cattle shows.
Horses of blue lineage are found
in the Judge stables, too. His
carriage teams and saddle animals
are the talk of the county and It'll

The Use Of Salt.

Salt is the most useful article
in the household. In washing
rcoiored goods a little salt in the
rinsing water will prevent the
color from running 1t is i'm
portant however, that too large a
quantity is notused, as it may rot
the goods. A cupful of salt to
about two even pailfuls of water
is the correct propotion.
A little salt rubbed over earth-
en- pudding dishes will effectual-
lily clean off rusty spots that
seem to be burned into the ware.
| A little salt and vinegar will
clean thoroughly all metal sauce
pans red copper kettles. A cop
per or brass dish mnst be finish
ed (after using salt) with a little
sand soap and cloths, so as to
leave no sign of the salt behind.
! An iron rust stain on any white
summer clothes may be complete
ly eradicated with little salt and
lemon juice, if exposed to the
hot sunshine. Spread brown
paper over the grass and lay the
material over it. so tina the lemon
and salt do not strike through to
the grass beneath. Rinse out in
water and try a second appIica-
ton if the first is not sufficient.
There is no surer way to de-
stroy grass and weeds that
springs up unlimited in walks and
| gravel places than to sow them
with salt and sprinkle thorough
ly with water.
A cup of rock salt is a delight
full addition to the bath.
1t is said that the eyebrows will
become much thicker If a little
common salt is rubbed on them.
Salt is not only a good disin~
fectant externally, but is often
taken in case of poisoning. A
handful of salt dissolved in water
will generally be sufficient to in-
duce the vomiting always necess'
ary after swallowing poison 1t
should, of caurse, be given i'm.
mediately.
Salt is apt to attract dampness;
therefore pat it in box with a
tis at cover, and keey in a cry,
