clarifying God In Our Reereations.
Psa. 16. 511; Cor. 10. 81.
This psalm is a beautiful psalm Of
trust and confidence In God, express
ing the delights and pleasure Of re-
ligion. The lines had fallen in pleas
ant places" the place in which he
lived was "a godly heritage" His
heart was glad" his glory re
joiced." In Gods presence was "ful-
ness of Joy" and pleasures for ever.
more" Even to the Old Testament
saint there was nothing gloomy or
sad about religion. He found Joy and
gladness in the service Of God. His
recreation was in new and diversi-
fed service for Jehovah. Inc verse
from Corinthians is summary OF
duties from the preceding verses
which ought to be read in connection
with this one, principle which will
guide rightly our pleasures and rec
reations; to make eating, drinking,
playing, and vacation all glorify God
and honor our piety. Tested by this
standard we can easily determine
what is right or wrong in our amuse-
ments.
Nothing is more abused than the
word recreation" Recreation Is re-
creation. To call sports that kill, and
amusements that degrade and alien
ate from Christ, recreation, Is
misnomer and lie, Nothing Is
recreation" that does not rest and
re-create and quicken body and mind.
Those things which dehle and fag
mind and body are injurious and not
recreative. Vacation should be help
full and bring one back to better work.
Only that kind can glorify God. Va
cation is not a release from Christian
responsibility. Play, fun, and frolic
are designated to help and not hind
er. These things may be made to
glorify God as we'll as praying and
singing hymns. There Is nothing in
real recreation but what will be hon
orable and helpful to the saint. What
are the conditions Of glorifying God
in our recreations?
That They Be Clean. There are
taints upon some sports which render
them dangerous and questionable.
There are others which give life to
the body and rest to the mind. John
Wesley's mother wrote him when in
school: would you judge the lawful
ness or unlawfumess Of any pleasure?
Whatever weakens your reason, i'm
pairs the tenderness Of your consci-
ence, obscures your sense of God, or
takes away your relish of spiritual
things, is sin to you. however inno-
cent it may be to others" Select
those recreations that are clean and
pure if you would glorify God.

Suggestions.
God is the Creator; of course he
takes an interest in our re-creations.
1t is not a recreation unless it re-
creates us-restores our energy, our
health of body and of mind.
The test of any sport, and suffic-
lent test, is this: can | readily think
of Jesus as engaging in it with me?
If our sports are to re-create us,
we must plan them as carefully and
as prayerfully as our work.
illustrations.
AS the best rest of one set of
muscles is often to use another set
of muscles. so often the best rest
from one kind of work is to turn to
another and very different kind.
Are our recreations the high lights
in our life pictures? There Is not
ing that the painter so carefully
studies as the high lights.
We can learn many lessons from
what we may reverently call Gods
recreations in nature-the colors Of
flowers, the songs of birds, the
splendors Of sunsets.
Hearty laughter at ones meals will
do more to ward of dyspepsia than
all the doctors pills; it is as good a
specific against spiritual dyspepsia.
Am 1 taking my recreations at hap
hazard?
Am l selfish in my sports, or do
play for Gods glory?
What is the unconscious aim Of my
sports?

Won Each Time.

About thirty years ago a remark
able bet was made between Capt. NJ
a racing celebrity. and another OH
Ger who was noted for his activity.
Capt. NJ bet $50 that his fellow OF
ficer would not hop up a certain hlgh'
of stairs two at a time.
The offer was taken, but, as there
we're forty-one steps in the flight, ne
found, after taking twenty hops, that
he was left only one step to negotiate
and had lost. He accused Capt. M
of sharp practice, but the latter re-
piled: A.,
"Wel. I'll wager you another s5c
l do it." :,
The officer, thinking to get back
his money, again accepted.
Capt. M then hoped up fort!
stems in twenty hops, and, hopping
back one, finished by going up thi
last two steps, and won.

First Report Of the Opening Season
Issued by the Department.

During both January and February
the temperature was persistently low
and unfavorable for the growth of win
ter grains or of tvuck. but with the al
vent of March the conditions improved
rapidly and the latter part Of March
was warmer than usual and stimulat-
ed the rapid growth of all forms of veg
itation. The month was unusually frea
from frost, only one heavy frost and
two light ones having been generally
noted, and none of these were damag-
ing. During the last week, day tenn
perature Of above 80 degrees was CON-
mon.
The precipitation was below normal
during January and about normal dur
ing February. and was deficient during
March. In the first OF the year the
conditions under which the precipita-
ton occurred and that portion in the
form Of snow and ice. melting as it
did slowly, were conducive to the re-
tention of practically all the precipita-
tion that fell. and the soil was we'll
supplied with moisture, but the absence
of rain during the second half OF
March rendered the soil dry in places;
on clay lands it became baked AMI
hard. In most places and on all kinds
OF upland soil the ground was in good
condition for tillage.
Flowing, and in general. the prepa-
ration OF lands made rapid progress
during the second half of March and
are at this date as we'll advanced as
usual.
Upland corn planting is nearly finish.
ed in the eastern counties and has be-
gun in the western ones. with some
corn already up in the former regions.
While few fields Of cotton have been
planted in the southeasterp counties,
this work is not really under way. and
the preparations of lands are scarcely
half finished. Other spring crops have
been planted in the earlier portions CT
the State. Rice planting has been be-
gun in the Colleton districts. Gardens
are either planted or ready to plant.
Wheat and oats made a fair growth
during the last week and where fall
sown oats were not winter-killed they
look promising. The damage from
winter killing was considerable in parts
OF the State and very slight in other
parts. There was large acreage O:
spring oats sown and some spring
wheat. Both are coming up nicely.
Tobacco plants are of fair size in the
beds. Truck did we'll during March,
with lettuce and radishes being ship
ped and peas almost ready to market
Fruit trees Of all kinds are in bloom,
and the indications at this time are IA
vorable for a large fruit crop.
