Given one conditions considerable area

not difficult animals to keep. They are
quite as easy to rear and less expensive
to feed than domestic cattle, and in the
hands of men wealthy enough to stand the
initial expense buffalo farms could be made
profitable in almost any Of the states north

first Instance, the United States government
should be most strongly urged to establish
several small herds In different parts of the
country. SO as to avoid all possible chance
OF large number being wiped out at one

be assured the day would soon return when
buffalo robe could be bought for less
than a hundred and fifty dollars, and the
American people would have freed them
selves from the charge of having allowed
their Misunderstanding and most valuable

Matthew 81:

way, He came to 1t, and found nothing
thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it,
Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward,
forever. And presently the fig tree with
cred away.
20. And when the disciples saw 1t, they
marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree
withered away!
u. And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Verify l say unto you, if We have
faith, and doubt not, we shall not only do
this which is done to the fig tree, but also
If we shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be thou cast into the sea, it
shall be done.

ask in prayer, believing, We shall receive.

enlargement by the story of the withered
fig tree. Too often we rush in and en-
deavor to have large harvest, no matter
what may be the quality of the sheaves.
Many young pastor makes the mistake of
desiring to report a large number of ac-
cessions to the church. regardless of the
depth of earnestness and intention in the
hearts of the new communicates. Many a
worker in the Christian Endeavor Society
makes the mistake of allowing a great in
fiuX of young people who are really not
workers at all. Not that We do not want
them every one, but the active membership
should be truly active, and should be COM
posed of those who have carefully thought
over and prayed over the pledge before
signing it, meaning to keep it as entirely as
possible. Those who do not come into the
other line of Christian work. are so many
figure-heads. They are like the flourshing
fig tree which is a fig tree only in name.
1t bears the leaves and bark, 1t wears the
signs of a fig tree. but no figs appear there
on. They bear the name of the Lord Jesus,
in Him, but by their fruits we shall know
them, and they bear no fruit.
Now, in first considering the enlargement
of our work for the winter let US look into
1t that we have no barren fig trees among
us. Ii they are there let us ask the Mas
ter how to rid us of their blighting shade.
It may be that we can help them to bear
fruit. Let us go most earnestly to work
upon them, II SO be they can be pruned

EPWoRTH LEAGUE NOTES.
The Lesson.

The topic for tomorrow is, How Can We
Enlarge and Improve Our Work." The
text is found in the reference Isa. 54:2: En-
large the place of thy tent and let them
stretch forth the curtains of thine habita-
tons: spare not; lengthen thy CORDS ana
strengthen thy stakes.
The illustrative biblical incident Is given
in the new Testament reference: Matt. IL
1922 The disciples marveled at Christs
power when He caused the barren fig tree
to wither. In answering them He promised
"All things whatsoever ye shall , ask IN
prayer, believing, we shall receive.
In looking forward to our winters work
we must see the possibilities of great things,
have faith to believe they can be accom-
plished and then pray and work.

sterling Coin.

The origin. OF Sterling as applied
to coined money is thus given in "a
Short Treatise Touching Sherufs' Ac-
counts" by Sir Matthew Hale, 1888:
Current coin of the realm Is OF gold
or silver, with an alloy of copper, at
least from the time of Henry l.. and
this alloy gave the denomination of
Sterling TO those coins.
"Spelman supposeth 1t TO take that
name from the Esterlings. who came
over and reformed our coin. to that
alloy-of. this opinion was Camden.
Possibly in those times a Peny was
called Sterling. without any other
reason than the use of the times, as
other names grow, for the old Act Of
Henry III. tells. us that Denarius An
glice Sterlingus dicitur "a denarius, or
penny. is called in English Sterling.
and because this was the root of the
measure of silver coin; therefore all
our coin OF the same alloy was also
called Sterling"
