Goodness and Mercy Follow Us.

Some people can see providence in
their past lives, and hope for them IS
their future lives. but never trust en-
tirely in their being there in the pres
ent. Yet God is as truly working out
His plans for His children in each hour
to-day as at any time in their lives.
Goodness and mercy follow us all the
days of our lives If they follow MS mt
all. The present trial, the present
d.udgery, are put there to work out
good for us, and more than good
grace and glory, tool. II. Miller.

Feeding Lambs.

; W. u. W.. SCOTS Bluff County, Neb.,
wishes to know how we fed the lambs
this year on Woodland Farm, how
much corn. lay and silage, and what
gain they made.
We do not know. 4 few years ago
we kept quite an accurate account of
what the lambs ate. for then It was
essential that we should. for we were
trcading on uncertain ground. OF late
we have not kept so accurate an ac-
count of things. Here, roughly. is
what we have done. The lambs were
bought in November on the Chicago
market There were two lots: one
weighed forty-Seven and n half and
the other fifty-four pounds on the av-
erage. We put them on feed as usual
In the sheds, giving alfalfa hay alone
for some days, then alfalfa hay with
little corn silagc added. The corn
suage was made from well ripened
corn. so that it had on it a good deal
of grain and was not much acid. The
corn silage and alfalfa hay formed the
main ration until about Christmas.
when they We're carefully introduced
TO ear corn. We never shell corn for
lambs, but break the ears into short
lengths right at first.
About January the 1000 lambs were
eating 1900 pounds of alfalfa hay per
day with $500 pounds of silage They
were getting hardly any other grain
at that time. but later il was slowly in

haps 200 tons of it. They consumed
much less corn than any lambs we had
ever before. They gained well and the
death loss was light We sheared
them early in April and shipped them

eighty-eight and one-haf pounds. We
seemed never to be able to make them
double in weight of late years. They

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR NOTES
DEcEM MBER THIRD.
Topie-our One Excuse.-Rom. "a:
1-12. (consecration Meetng.)

If our pledge were taken in our own
strength, it would not be worth TAX
ing; but God is able to make us
stand"
Our pledge is given not to the so
ciety but TO the Lord If we keep it,
we break il unto the Lord"
No one can judge how hard an En-
deavorer Is trying to keep the pledge,
though he may seem not to be keep
ing it at all; and so no one should
Judge an Endeavorer's pledge-keep-
ing
What the lookout committee should
do is remind the bndeavorers OF the
account they must each give to God.
and so quicken their consciences.
Suggestions.
Our pledge is just a promise to try
TO do Christ's will, in general, and in
several particulars. We should be as
eager to do that without a pledge as
with one.
Excuse" is not a good word. We
are excused" from doing what we
do not want to do; we are prevent
ed" from doing what we want to do.
You are not in the right attitude
about any work for Christ until you
want to do it, and seek ways of doing
it rather than ways of avoiding it.
Duties never conflict Christ wants
us to do only one thing at time.
Success in life consists in discovering
that one thing. and doing it.
illustrations.
IL man has agreed to meet you and
give you a thousand dollars, you seek
no excuse to avoid that meeting, and
you are grieved il you are prevented
from going. We are enriched far
more than that by every meeting with
Christ in the prayer meeting.

EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3.
our one excuse.--Rom. a. t.l2.

our one Excuse.--Rom. ID. 1-12.
Our lesson is taken from Psul's ar
gument as to the treatment by the
church OF those weak in the faith.
He speaks here of certain weak mem
bers of his day One class were pc
culiar as to their diet; they were vege-
tarians. The other class had trouble
about the Sabbath; they were over
sabbatarian. They had morbid con-
sciences. But Paul exhorted that
they be received kindly; not to a crit
lcal censorship. Paul impressively
dissuades both parties from judging
each other by the fact that they were
both amendable to God only Our
lesson is entitled Our One Excuse"
The theme seems to be from the Scrip
ture we have. Personal Conscience
the Only Guide We cannot do or
fail to do simply because others do
or do not We must "be fully persu-
AIDED in our own mind" We are not
to be Indifferent to what others think,
for none of us liveth unto himself" 3"
We are to recognize the duty Of self
denial for Others; yet at the same
time 'our one excuse" at judgment
will be that we did that which our
own conscience led us to see we should
do.
The one excuse we can offer at iudg-
ment is that which Paul offers in one
of his testimonies: 81 have lived in
all good conscience to this day We
are not to set up our peculiar notions
about minor matters as a guide for
others; nor are we to excuse our
selves. on the other hand, from duty
because others do not see that partic-
ular thing as duty. We are to fol-
low our own conscience as guide in
life. Men say, What am | to be-
lieve amid all the difference in doe
trinal teaching and belief?" What
am | to do amid all the differences OF
conception about duty?" The answer
is plain from our lesson this week.
Be fully persuaded in your own mind
To yourself YOU stand or fall before
God DO not despise the painstakine
devotion of another, nor let another
judgment move you from the full per-
formance of your known duty. Let
your own conscience be the standard
The only excuse for the neglect of any
! prescribed form of duty is that 1t does
not seem to us to be enjoined by the
| Word of God. The service of Christ
is reasonable" service Any ques-
ton of meats and drink of days anC
feasts. of HASTINGS and self-denials, oi
methods and habits of Christian liv
ing must be settled by an appeal t
the individual conscience. This 4
the standard of duty. The excuse
which others make for the neglect o
what to MS is plain duty will no
avail for us.

A LIVING OR A LIFE



There's a mighty big difference be.
tween making living and making
life.
Almost any one can make living.
Not every one can make Il life.
In making a living one may or may
not have to work hard. In making Il
life-building character-one must do
the hardest kind of work.
Some men have their living made
for them. But their lives cannot be
made for them.
He whose living is made for him by
another usually makes poor business
at making Il life. He is not used to
working at anything.
The canoeist must paddle fard go
ing up stream. He can drift down
stream.
SO it is easy 20 drift along making
living and failing TO make life. 1t is
easy to lie and TO deceive. 1t is easy
to go, with the current IL is easy TO
give way TO temptation 1t takes
moral fibre to tell the truth and to
turn down temptation.
Take lying, for instance.
A man can make himself believe
that lie can be told with good inten-
tons. that there is such thing as a
''le of necessity" Once a man ad-
mits that TO himself he is subtly,
posonously deceived. The belief gets
into practice. And the practice is a
boomerang. Ii reacts on the mans life
1t weakens his character. Somebody
has said that even God cannot afford
to lie in order that good may come.
And. what God Almighty cannot do
man had better not try.
A man deserves 10 credit Cor making
a living. He deserves great credit for
making a life.

has right TO be proud OF is his char
