Home Mission in Mountain and Plain.
Matt. 9: 1888; Luke 9: 1-e.

Jesus went to his own people with
his gospel. and sent out first his dis
ciples to their neighbors and country
men. This was eminently wise and
practicable. There is an element in
home missions that appeals to every
Christian. We have no sympathy with
that sentimental talk about home mis-
sions that has no real interest in any
mission work. Some people excuse
themselves from all missionary work
on the plea that we have heather at
home.' But aside from all this there
Is special claim on us to consider
the spiritual needs and wants of our
neighbors and our own nation. The
Home Mission field is the United
States in all its length and breadth
What the Jews were to Jesus, and
what their countrymen were to the
first disciples, so the inhabitants of
America are to us. We must save
America in order to save the world
The field is wide and difficult, but
hopeful and inspiring. We have gath
cred in our home field the cosmopoli-
tan races of the world. We have in
our home missions the nucleus of mis-
sions to all nations Of the earth.
Methodist home missions may be
roughly divided into two classes, the
English-speaking and the non-English-
speaking. The English-speaking en-
brace all the work In our Annual Con-
ferences which receive help as well as
the mission work of the great North
west. The n-English-speaking in
cude the fourteen different nationali-
ties to which we send missionaries in
our own land They are the Welsh,
Swedish, Norwegian. Danish, German,
French Spanish, Chinese, Japenese,
Bohemian, Italian, Portuguese. Finn
ish and American Indians. Besides
the hundreds of ministers helped by
the Missionary Society In Annual Con-
ferences, we have about $50 mission
aries preaching to $4,000 members,
with between $50 and 800 churches
and Sunday schools in this field.
About one.half-forty-ilve per cent
of all our collections for missions go
to this home field. Many of the peo-
pie converted in these home mission
fields go back to their native land
bearing the seed of new and better
faith. Thus the home work Is a
valuable feeder, and sometimes the
founder. of foreign missions. Nearly
all OF our self-supporting work in the
West and Northwest was formerly
home mission territory. Methodist
home missions have played an import
ant part In the development Of the
nation.

Exils of Intemnerance.'

Intemperance is the greatest enemy
of mankind. 1t is the one great sin
that underlies nearly all others. 1t Is
the devils own pet vice with which he
afiilcts the world; 1t is the whip OF
scorpions with which he lashes the
human race. Poverty, crime and mad
ness would be almost banished from
the world If 1t were not for intoxlcants,
which poison and destroy the human
family. They beget Idiots in the moth,
er's womb, and predestine men ana
women to become maniacs. The curse
is universal. The knowledge or max
ing Intoxicating drink is the earliest
evidence of mans inventive genius.
There are no people so barbarous, nor
so ignorant, that they have not some
device for distllllng from roots, or
fruits. or grains. They all know how
TO make a drink that will intoXicate.
There is no time, no historic era, In
which this knowledge was not abroad.
To-day, in this country. we know, and
everybody knows, that our prisons ana
jails, our houses of prostitution and
our hells of crime, our asylums-deaf,
dumb and insane-and our hospitals
are filed with people because OF TINS
traffic in alcoholic drink

The Love of Children.

Have you considered the sweet thing
q child's love is?
To enjoy in ones life the confiding
purity of child's friendship is to taste
a sweetness nothing else can bring.
You go through life and enjoy its
pleasures, the praise of fellow-men, the
abiding JOY of ministerial duties, the
pride in applied craftsmanship, the
applause and adulation of the platform,
These things bring the flush of pleas
ure to your cheek and stimulate you
for further action: and very often your
best work is done because of this; not
for pay. but for love.
But the friendship of a little child
brings new joy. 1t touches chord
In your heart that lies silent under the
spell of all these other things.
That wee toddling lassie, as she runs
to meet you with outstretched arms,
sparkling eyes, and rosy mouth puck
cred up for kiss, appeals to you in
language you can never use.
Her gesture, her prattle, all so con-
fidlng, so natural and tender culminate
in the expression of those magic words.
81 love you" stirring within you all
that Is best and purest in your nature.
The little ones breathe a fragrance
not of the earth.
If it is yours to enjoy the whole
hearted confidence of little child,
never by word or deed let that little
one lose Its faith in you.-Scottish
American.

In the Ladies' Home Journal, we find
the following, which we give in answer
to query OF Mrs. 4. c.: Dissolve white
soap; put about two pailfuls OF warm
water in a tub, and add enough dis
solved soap to make a heavy suds.
Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of borax
In quart Of boiling water; pour half
of this into the suds; shake the white
hannels free from dust and put them
in the suds; work the suds through
the articles by lifting. squeezing and
kneading; never rub or twist woolens.
A washing machine is excellent for all
woolen fabrics. Squeeze the water
from the washed article; rinse in two

perature as the washing suds; put a

The Cross.

Was 1t not Tyndall who said he
would go insane in an hour If he were
not assured of the existence of wise,
over-ruling Power in the universeF
How immeasurably more steadying is
the assurance of the Christian that the
cross of Christ reveals the mind of
God! Life is inexplicable. If only
power rules.
One of England's chapels is nm archi-
tectural blur when one first enters 1t.
But a verger soon tells the visitor to
take his stand on a blood-red cross that
Is in the centre, and looking down this
arm of the cross he sees beautiful
picture. and down that still another
bit of harmony. The four arms point
to wonderful representations Of events
in the life of the Son of Man. Only
from that cross may the pictures be
seen In their true perspective. Only
Christo-centric faith can see life as a
plan and solve its enigmas.-Pacifc

Jesus Was Not n Socialist.

DR.. Marcus Dods, lecturlng in Man
chester on "The Teaching of Jesus"
referred to the Masters attitude to-
ward Socialism. He said.
"But the method of Christ Is too slow
for many men to accept, and therefore
men often turn to some hasty dema-
gogue. His answer to the inquiry Of
John the Baptist is His answer to all
who are offended at His method. He
told Johns messengers to inform their
master what He was doing. 1t implied
that He had no intention of altering
His method, and that His method is TO
deal with the individual,
''Christ's leaven of spirit and principle
works slowly in the public mind. and
gradually brings about a new social
order, as in the case of slavery. 1t is a
tedious process. but it is sure. and the
method of Jesus has won the approval
of practical men. Dependence on State
activity may be sanctioned as tenn
pOrary expedient. but Christianity re-
lies on new spirit in men. Eevoiu-
ton must be the spontaneous express
sion of an inward growth in justice
and unselfshness: If imposed from
without on unchanged individuals ii
could never do the utmost good. The
only life which will permanently weld
men together is the life and spirit of
Christ. 1t must be left to statesman
ship to devise practical measures

Note the points, the improvement OF
society can be effected only by the
regeneration of the individuals com

SNAKE WAS TOO FRIENDLY.
Reptile crawled over Young Farmer
Without Hurting Him.

Wltnout hurting F1lms
One day last week Aaron Hoffman
had an experience with rattler which
he viii not soon forget While sprout'
ing potatoes In the hin near the house
he was conscious OF something rub
hing against his back. and. glancing
over his shoulder found that an I'M
mense rattlesnake had raised Its head
and was IN the act of crawling up ou
his back.
The sight froze the blood In hia
veins, and he was too paralyzed with
fear to move. and while he sat there
the snake crawled over his shoulder
and across his knee and into his hid
ing place. When young Hoffman did
recover his powers of locomotion he
ran into the house. hut the reaction
from the terrible fright completely
prostrated him and be was unable for
some little time to tell his mother the
cause OF the fright.
II Is a well known fact that the rat
tlesnake, unless disturbed will not
strike, but even this fact does not
make him neighbor to be enjoyed.

We in our pride are apt to think
that to humble ourselves is to be forced

Is that which love wins from us as the

Suggestions.
The old Puritan State OF Massachu-
setts illustrates the need of home mis-
sfons, for one-flfth of its population is
made up of recently-arrived Armen
ians. Firms, French, German, Greeks,
Swedes. Norweglans. Poles and Syr-
ians.
In Utah there are In all only about
$500 Christians, but there are about
100000 Mormons.
There are about 100000 Indians in
the United States, and happily, by the
allotment of their land in severa1ity,
these are rapidly becoming merged in
the body of our citizens.
In Cuba. at the close of the fourth
years work of American missionaries,
there were 100 churches and preach.
ing stations, $50 pastors and preach
ers, 5000 church members, 600 candi-
dates for membership, and 1000 schol-
ars in the Sunday schools.
Illustrations.
The Christian women among the
Sioux Indians give to missions more
than one dollar each every year.
In New York recently they sold a
fine church building in the upper part
Of the city because there were too
many foreigners in the neighborhood.
Then they sent the money to the board
OF foreign missions.
Love Of God and love of country are
the two noblest passions in a human
heart; and these two unite in home
missions. A man without country Is
an exile in the world. and man
without God is an orphan in eternity.

apple sauce, the large ginger cookies.

The Sunday night supper should be
the unexpected feast of the week. At
this meal the family would never
know what to look for. One time the
repast would be hot and savory; the
next it would be cold, but no less
savory. New and startling salads
would make their first bow, so to
speak, at the Sunday night supper
table. and it would be the housekeep-
