CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES
MAY SEVENTH.
The Making of Christian: his exer
else. Jas. 1: 22-27. (Conse.
Grafton meetins.)

There is no virtue in listening and
hearing; it Is nothing until transmit
ed into doing.
There is no reality in an image in
q mirror; as unreal and unsubstantial
is speech without action.
Yet it Is by this "foolishness OF
preaching" and hearing that men are
to be saved; the danger is not IN
the hearing, certainly, but in being a
"forgetful hearer."
Even religion may be "detiled";;
and the religion most defiled Of all IN
the eyes of God is the religion OF a
hypocrite that is made up only OF
words.
Suggestions.
1t is a sound principle never to al
low ones emotions to be stirred IN
favor of a good action, without at
once performing it.
That a Christian is known by his
fruits" is not to say that the fruits
make the Christian; it is the Chris
tian that makes the fruits-it is the
union with the Vine.
Christ's desire for us Is not that We
bear fruit, but that we bear much
fruit. We are not half ambitious
enough in our Christianity.
Every valuable exercise may be
carried on without apparatus. 1t does
not need wealth and learning to ~
grand things for God.
illustrations.
One may harm his body by wrong
exercises as much as he DEMENT'S II
by right ones. See that what you do
for Christ Is what He wants you to
do.
When we are weak in a certain part
of the body, you take exercises adapt
ed to that part. So there are kinds OF
church work that will build you up
Just where you are weak spiritually.
To be most beneficial, exercise
should be regular and systematic. so
with our Christian labors.
The athlete keeps record OF his
growing powers. and the record helps
him to grow stronger. We should
know in the same way that we are
growing stronger in definite Christian
service.
Questions.
What definite Christian work am
doing?
Is my work for Christ up to the
measure of my powers?
Is there any work which Christ
wants me to do that l am not doing?

.EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
SUNDAY, MAY z.
The Making of Christian; His ex
ercise.-James 1:22-27.

The Epistle of James is one Of the
most practical of all the books of the
Bible. 1t combats those tendencies
which threaten to paralyze the spirit
ual life of the church, and never more
than now in this age. 1t exalts the
doctrine of salvation by works. The
special section which we study is the
distinction between hearing and do
Ing. 1t emphasizes the thought that
nothing can avail in real religion:
other than really doing the will Of
God. Profession is not enough, there
must be the exercise Of the Christian
graces. A Christian is made not by
being bora and fed alone, but in the
exercise and development Of Christian
graces.
There is a vast difference between
hearing anu doing. One may be a
devout hearer without becoming
doer of the Word. But one cannot
be doer without first being hearer.
The gospel is Gods message to a
lost and dying world. The institution
of preaching is Coos ordained plan
for saving the world. We can hardly
overestimate the value Of hearing as a
means of grace. No activity in Chris
tian work can atCae for a failure to
hear the Word. If God calls men to
preach. he calls others to hear. But
the danger is that we become only
hearers; that the repetition Of the
message will harden the heart unless
it be needed and obeyed.
To hear and fail to do is practical
atheism. To be a 'doer" is more than
doing. 1t is more than a single act
of obedience; It is a habit OF obedi-
ence. To be doer is to so habitu-
ally obey that we translate all pre-
cepts into active life. To hear and to
do is the whole duty of man. We are
to be doers along both the two lines
Of within and without the church. We
are to refrain from unbridled tongues,
having respect to persons, and neglect
of the poor; we are also to keep our
selves unspotted from the world.
Not services. but service. Is the true
criterion. Not attendance upon the
preaching only, but Transforming that
preaching into life, Is the highest
Christian duty. The true ambition Of
a noble life is service. We are to
hear the Word, of course; but we are
to watch against only hearing. We
are to work out our salvation" in the
sense of doing right. We are to be-
come an habitual "doer OF the Word"

Now Daughter Of Girl Who Tilted Him
Gets His Fortune.
Isaac Showers of Webster City,
Iowa, religiously kept VOW for six
ty years that no woman should cross
his threshold or enjoy cent Of his
wealth. Now that he is dead the
carefully drawn will by which he
hoped to perpetuate his VOW has been
broken, and the bulk of his estate
goes to the daughter of the woman
who Tilted him and made him a hater
of all womankind.
Showers came West years ago from
New York to make his fortune, leav-
ing behind him a girl who had prom
ised to wait for him. When he be-
came wealthy, as wealth was counted
in those ays, he journeyed back to
claim hi bride. only to find that she
had mar fed his brother. Without a
word h<returned to Iowa. When his
fathe& died, leaving a considerable
estate he refused to take any share of
it beca0A his brother was admins
traitor.
In his own will he left his vast acre

schools, aid societies and churches.

girl who Tilted him, contested the
will and has broken it, and will in

A good vegetable garden is q real
luxury that even the poor may enjoy,
IL willing to devote little time and
energy to its culture. Vegetables and
fruits should be furnished freely to
the table all during the season, and a
supply of winter varieties ready when
cold weather comes.
The size of the garden should be

and their fondness for vegetables. 1t
should contain besides full variety
of vegetables, an asparagus bed and i

am the originator of three methods
whereby the Mexican boil weevil and
all other noxious insects preying upon
cotton may be destroyed:
BY planting in alternate rows ricinus
and cotton. the dehalation Of the former
will kill all insects in al states OF
growth.
BY adding to the fertilizers the con-
centrate poison of the crushed beans
the cotton plant will feed upon it and
become immune.
By adding to the fertilizers hematite
iron high in phosphor and low in iron
pyrites and sulphurous silicon.
I am the first to suggest the use as
plant food of phosphor compounded
with iron, which will be accepted by
the plants more readily, and the invai'
liable device of providing soluble sui
phur and silicon to the roots of culti-
waited plants and trees and shrubs.
The cost of the ricinuS beans,
crushed, is next to nothing, while the
other three ingredients will not exceed
81 q ton. Adding these ingredients to
the fertilizers used at present, half
the usual quantity would be sufficient
and saving of about fifty per cent.
could be effected. If used for tobacco
the advantages of this fer;ilizing COM
