From Farming to Manufacturing.

Our great trade balances Of the

and secure the caplta! needed fo,
the development of the country,

nous iexports Of farm products.

The fact that American mama

American farm products in export
valuation is another PROOF that the
protective tariff Is a correct econ

the volume OF exports Of farm pro
ducts does not indicate that there
is foreign decline in The demand,
but rather that the increased home
consumption has curtaiieJ the sur

Outs, your article on the new
birth which implies thy immortal
ity of the soul, is subject ofgreat
mportance-so great thai it super
cedes every other idea idea or sub
ject that is ever discussed by the
intelligence of the age. 1t treats of
life beyond this which is immor-
tai and eternal. A life that the
spirit enters when it throws of this
mortal coil and scars up and up
into those supernal regions where
the city of God is situated as de-
scribed in the apocalypse by St.
John the divine,
Though not every one that cries
Lord, Lord, will be able to make
an exit of such sublime attitude.
Only those who have kept the
commandments, lived righteously,
kept the golden rule-those who
have not oppressed The widow, the
orphan, nor the poor, that will be
resurrected by the power of God
from this mortal body to- have
delightful sweeping entrance
through the pearly gates into that
lovely abode where dwells God and
the angels. Though there are in.
termediate places in which the
spirits will dwell until they receive
the instructions and training of the
Holy Ghost and are taught how to
live without sin in this life before
they can be in harmony with the
higher powers. Some people are
too good to be forever banished
from the presence of God, hut not
perfect enough to dwell with the
Saints in Heaven. There is only
one channel or source beside the
Bible through which they can be
educated up to perfect religious
standpoint and that is througe the
gift of the Holy Gohst who will
teach them all that is necessary
for their salvation if they live right.

Energy and Ability Wins.

Before we have proceeded further in
making our record for the current year,
let us ask the question of each one of
our agents: Are you doing your duty to
yourself and the Company? Pause for
moment and review your own individ-
ual work during the past six weeks. Are
you satisfied with the record? or is it not
true that, if you were permitted to live
those weeks over again, notable i'm
provement could be made?
Are you one of the kind who arc using
your genius in the direction of invent
ing excuses for unsatisfactory results?
If so, they always can be found. 1t is
either too cold or too hot, too wet or
too dry, competition is too severe, sup
plies did not come, people short of
money, and thousand more excuses
for ones failure to produce business
can always be invented. Notwithstand-
ing all this, it is generally true that the
real reason is, the agent is not working.
Just now, when severe storms have
been raging in many sections of the
country, it is refreshing beyond ex-
preston to receive evidence of the fact
that the successful man is the one who
has ability to overcome all obstacles
which may surround him. A letter Just
received from Mr.. l.. b. Webster, one
our capable representatives in the Lone
Star State, will be read with interest.
He says:
Enclosed find ten applications. AL
though had to wade through snow and
sleet to procure these applications L
closed them for spot cash in short or
der, and found many prospects whom /
can close in the near future"
Such are the results of enterprise and
energy, even under conditions unfayor-
able in the extreme. The example is
worthy of imitation, and is therefore
commended to any agents who may be
anxiously waiting the arrival of warm
wave.-Agent's Record U. S. Health
