A Jap Soldiers Letter.

The Japanese Government has found
a novel use for post cards. A writer
in the Manchester Guardian says:
Realizing that for various reasons,
the soldier on campaign may not have
leisure or opportunity to write home to
his family, the military authorities
have supplied to each soldier a sufi-
Gent number of post cards, ready
printed, to which the soldier has only
to affix his name, or, more exactly, his
seal, each japanese soldier carrying
II with him as a part Of his outfit.
On all the cards the same message is
printed: This is to let you know that
/ an alive and well. l can not give
you my address, not knowing where /
shall be tomorrow; but your letters
will reach me some time or other it
you reply to the place the name of
which is printed in the postmark.
Greetings to my family and friends
This is an idea which might well be
copied by other nations. At once prac-
teal and humane, it would cost little
and save many thousands of people
from unnecessary anxiety and PAIN

INCREASING God.s opportunities.

Some one has said that leach human life
is another opportunity for God to display
His grace and power" So it is, and the
thought will grow upon you as you medi-
tate upon it. Just think, Il am Gods OPP
portunityi," Isn't it wonderful: Isn't it
glorious? When we look at others whom
God has richly blessed and honored in ser
vice we can see how it is. but do we ever
think of ourselves as Gods opportunity
Every one that responds to Gods cali,
"Come!" gives God a larger place in the
world.
Every one who obeys Gods command.
"Go!" assists God in gaining a lsrger place
in the hearts of men. Every regenerated
heart and life is a new garden IN which
God plants His seeds of love and grace; a
fountain out Of which flow constant
streams of healing power.
Take it home, dear young friend, and
say to yourself, Il am Gods opportunity"
Be that and your life will become unutter-
ably grand and your experience unspeak-
ably sweet.-A. w. Spooner, d. D.

Where il the old tramp printer
Who used to saunter in,

Because it don't know how to drink.

Who'd ask you for a "bit,"
And after the strike would again chit the

To a town where he might "get a sit"
He's listed among b~ack-numbers
By the souIless l~inotypes,

God Only Is Perfect.

Perfection, in every absolute sense, can
not be found among men-it abides only
with God. Man. at his best, is not free.
An heir of Immortality, he is imprisoned
into time. Candidate for sainthood. he
has a heritage Of sin and corruption from
the generations of the past. Called to do
all things through God strengthening him,
he finds that the spirit is willing but the
flesh is weak. Countless perils menace the
voyage of the perfectionist. P~resumptuous
sins often have dominion over him, when
he thinks it is not robbery to be equal
with God and share with the absolute the
attributes of divinity. Spiritual pride
leads him to moral ruin when he is per-
suaded to forget the hour Of prayer be-
cause of his conceit that with him every
breath is a prayer. The Man of Nazareth
was so far from this vanity that He spent
whole nights in communion with God on
the mountains and in solitary places apart
from His companions. The perfectionist,
again, is deceived when he materializes the
things of God. by asserting for the saints
below an earthly empire over disease AND
death and by claiming a part IN the polti-
cal rule of the quick-coming Christ IN .
millenial reign at Jerusalem.
The Penn's Grove record., 1904-10-28

supposing the hands Of the Lord be par
alyzed, how can He do these things? We
are the voice of Christ. Christ wants to
publish abroad to the end Of the earth the
message of Gods love and the way Of sal
walton, but if the voice be silent, how can
He do it?
We talk about the mercy of God having
no limitation. We talk about the bound
less pity of God. and we do well. but the
pity OF God and the mercy Of God have
their limitations. Not according to the dis
torted Calvinism which our fathers believ-
ed, Gods mercy is infinite; Gods pity is
b~oundless; His love extends to all men
that we believe; in that declaration We
glory; we count it the very flower and cor
onation of our religion. And vet Gods
mercy is limited. His compassion is bound
ed, His pity is shortened by us-by us. Ae-
eording as we are willing or unwilling is
the limitlessness of the love of God.
Let us take a homely illustration. Here
is a friend-a man whom you have always
known, a ciassmate it may be in school. an
associate in business-and he has fallen
upon evil times and everything that he
spent his life in accommodating is gone. You
are rich, YOU are perfectly able to put that
man on his feet again; to give him a sec
ond chance and another start; you are
Gods elected minister for that purpose.
10S " - y ~ I NOA u htl1AF NAto
posed to that man; God would help that
man, and He has put YOU in a position to
help him. You are His hands; you are
Gods ministering agency. but you limit
Gods goodness, don't you?
God is very pitiful, very pitiful. Rich
men can feed poor men, but they don't do
it. No mama falls from heaven to feed
those poor men. They starve. God is
wondrously pitiful, and there are strong
people who are perfectly able to help and
comfort weak and sicklv people, but these
sickly people die for lack of help. No min
istering angel comes down to cool their fe-
yer and heal them. Don't YOU see that we.
Gods hand, Gods voice, the branches and
twigs of the vine. limit the fruitfulness of
the vine, limit the power Of the Almighty
Herein is Nv Father glorifed. that We
bear much fruit, so shall We be My disei-
pies" Friends, the thought is appalling;
it Expresses me. When ] look at that
from one side ] am terrified to think that
the thing that God wanted done Yesterday
is not done through my neglect.
And yet there is encouragement here for
US all. Apart from the vine the branch
withers; it can do nothing. Abiding in the
vine, the branch b~ringeth forth much fruit,
and we NAV abide and we may Glorify our
Father. Glorify Him. Make Him shine
with radiance and beauty in the eyes of
man. Make God manifest. We can make
God real; we can make the gospel sublime
in the eyes Of those who are living without
it. We can so tell the story; we can so
live our religion; we can so manifest the
grace of God in our lives; we can so let
our light shine that others-our ~neiehbors
and friends, our children and relatives
shall glorify our Father in heaven.

One Ting jesus did was to change mems
thoughts about life, God and man. But
this was done to alter the life. Thought
becomes the medium for expressing the
experience of the soul. For feeling is as
much deeper Than thought as thought Is
than words. We i1carnate ideas into
buildings, bridges, ships and tools. Like
wise are we to i~ncarnate the lofty ideas
and sublime conceptions Of Jesus into hfe,

The best single grain for fatten.ng
sheep is corn.
When the corn is ripe the sheep
should be,yarded and given clover hay,
and a light feeding of corn at first.
One-half pound per head can be fed
for a start and increased gradually
until four to five pounds of grain are
consumed a day.
Poor sheep may be able to eat only
one pound each day.
The fat mes should be selected for
market, and the remaining ones fed
until they are in proper condition for
the butcher.
Any Improbable members of the
flock should be fed and fitted and be
sen to market with the lambs.
If there are ticks on the flock the
sheep should be dipped before going
in the %fattenlng pens or yards.
Let the flock CLEAN the cornields.
Begin feeding early so the flock do
not run down on poor pasture.
