First Fruits for cod.-Lev.23:e.f4;
Deut. 1e: e-12. (consecration
Meeting.)

God wants us to give Him some-
thing that has cost US something, the
result of our planting and reaping;
and what we give God must be with
out blemish, and there is no blemish
SO great as self-seeking.
Let our gifts keep pace with our
blessings. and 1t will do no harm IL
they even exceed them.
All gifts TO God are to be offered
with joy; indeed, the JOY is itself a

God Is always giving us His first
and best should we not do as much
for Him?
We are not to give with this In
view, but II is a fact that gifts to
God always receive many fold in re-

EPNORTH LEAGUE LESSONS
SUNDAY, AUGUST SIXTH.
The First Fruits for God.-Lev. 90.
9-14; Deut. 16. 9-12.

OLD; Deut. 16. 9-12.
Our lessons are from the old Jewish
law, and the special section we study
Is that which refers to the Offering
of the first fruits to God. The sheaf
was only representative of the first
fruits of every kind. The pious He
brew could not relish anything that
he had not shared with the Lord.
The Lords portion must first be Offer
ed, then the rest might be enjoyed.
How this rebuies the offerings pro-
fesing Christians often make. The
second selection is an account of the
institution of the Feast of Taber-
nacles, the great harvest festival of
the year. 1t was at this feast that
Jesus stood and cried, "If any man
thirst, let him come to me and drink"
The real test OF Christian life
is the attitude we assume toward
God. If that attitude be one of re-
luctant service, of compulsion in do
ing and giving; if we put our own in
tereSts paramount to any other, how
can we profess to serve God at all?
If, on the other hand, we put Christ
and the church first, and let self
interest be a secondary consideration
do we not place ourselves on the same
plane as the Jew was put by the
Lord in our lesson? That the Jew be-
came a timeserver and Journalist is
no reason why we may not see the
justice and beauty of the original law
in it's intent and design. The spirit
of this law has passed over to the
Christian law of conservation, and
rests upon us to-day.
We are greatly tempted in this age
OF worldliness and prosperity to put
our pleasures, our interests first. We
catch the spirit Of gain and competi-
tion and forget to bring the first fruits
of every toll to God. Instead. we
compromise by giving spare margin
OF the leftover portions, If indeed
we do not sometimes forget to give
anything at all We not only fail to
'tlthe" our money, our time, and
our possessions, but We fail to give
any systematic proportion to him.
We see the cause of God suffer and
need help, while we have been rob-
bing God of our offerings. Not only
do we thus sin against him, but we
miss all the JOY and delight of shar-
ing our harvests and our gains with
our Master.
II the choice must be made be-
tween pleasure and the interests of
the church, choose Gods interests.
II sacrifice is demanded to choose
Christ, make the sacrifice and choose
him. Put God first in the choices OF
your life.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

R. C. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Hot weather tended to rctard activ-

postponed forward business that could
be delayed without loss, but accelerated
the consumption OF seasonabe merchan-
disc and advanced the crops much near

increases with each day favorable for
harvesting, and much OF the Winter
wheat is now beyond danger, while late
corn is rapidly regaining lost ground
inquiries indicate a general DISPOSE
ton to provide for large volume OF
Fall and Winter business, clothing man
ufacturers receiving liberal orders from
travelling salesman, while cancellations
are exceptionally few. Real estate trans
iers are large and building operations
numerous, often overtaxing facilities for
delivery of lumber and other materials.
There is comparatively little inter-
ruption from labor disputes, and the net
result in all commercial and nanufac-
turing branches is exceptionally satis-

is usually the dullcst of the year"

Latest Physical Culture Fad.

Recently an American visitor in
London complained in the press that
English people blew their noses with
singular freedom in restaurants and
other public places. Thereupon one
of the newspapers said 'The Ameri.

pocket handkerchief is evidently un-
aware that this very performance is
the latest thing in physical culture.
Adenoids, the fashionable malady of
the twentieth century nursery, is now

caused by insufficient blowing of the
baby nose. and nose blowing forms a

No person ever saw man or woman
who liked fruit and who had an appe-
