Is to dig during the fore part of each

SOULS BARREN SOIL.

By Rev. John j. Donlan.
Sow for yourself in justice and reap
i'll the mouth of mercy; break up your
fallow ground for it is time to seek
the Lord-Hosea X, 10.
The teaching of holy scripture takes
it for granted that an intimate rela
tionship exists between the laws of the
natural and Of the spiritual world. The
various sacred writer's read the eternal
will of the Father i'll the simplest laws
of nature. The prophet Hosea is no eX-
ception to the rule. He also, on this
analogy, frames his advice as given i'll
the text. which harmoniZeS so beauti-
fully with the harvest time.
The soil upon which Gods husbandry
is always working is the heart and
conscience of men. The divine mes
sages. the efforts, the means of grace.
are so many showers of heavenly dew
TO soften and penetrate hardened
hearts. The prophets tell us that if
we desire to reap harvest of joy and
peace the great laws of Gods kingdom
must be subserved He emphasizes the
fertilizing dews of divine grace have
many times rested. and, where the good
seed of his word is scattered daily.
We must not mistake the prophets
meaning when he speaks Of ''fallow
ground" He does not intend to say
that Il harvest of evil is reaped or that
the ground was already preoccupied.
He means that the soil has produced
nothing. Gods messages, warnings and
provdences have been sent in vain.
The seed scattered broadcast by proph-
cts, wise men and scribes has fallen
where it could take no root. 1t had not
been given chance even to terminate,
for the soil was hard, untitled, barren.
The work of God is always developing,
ana His continual action must be CO
operated in helped forward and vel

Those who had got out of the boat
tumbled back into it in great haste and

TRUTHS NOT SHAKEN.
BY Rev. John B. Whit

by rev. Jonn Is. Wh1ttord.
Text: THAT those things which
cannot be shaken may remain"-He-
brews xii 81
While intellectual movements have
inyalidated certain traditional formu-
las, they have not invaIidated the faith
once delivered to the saints. The re-
ligion of Jesus, like His own idyllic
life, was crystal in its purity. No
mountain stream, rejecting all night
long the quivering stars, can be any
freer from f1ecz or stain. But when
the Roman Empire emptied itself into
1t, it became a turbid stream. Without
the Roman Empire there never could
have been a Papal Christianity. With
out Greek philosophy the Nicene and
Athanasian creeds would have been
impossible. And without the personal
experiences of ST. Augustine and the
natural vindictiveness Of Calvin the
theology of Western Christendom
would have had less of shadow and
more of light. SO, much of historic
Christianity is no more the religion of
Jesus than bit of green glass is an
emerald. Religion as Jesus lived and
taught it is life communicated from the
heavens, filling the mind with visions
and the heart with love, and is there
fore independent of creeds and sys-
tens.
The questionings OF our time have
left us a clearer vision of God as the
immanent, indwelling and Eternal Life
of all the universe; Il clearer vision of
Christ's humanity and divinity; a
clearer vision Of the Bible as a moral
armament of truth, inlaid with conStel-
latioIls a clearer vision of the cOntinu-
ity Of life and the reign of law in all
worlds, and a clearer vision of the
divine and eternal essence of religion.
Forever beautiful and suggestive is the
story of finding one Of the lost portraits
Of Jesus In the city OF Paris, during
the early part of the last century, a
chased for trifle what was supposed
to be painting of the Virgin Mary.
While inspecting it, he accidentally dis
placed some Of the outer covering, and
all at once there came a gleam Of such
enhancing beauty that caused him to
hold his breath. He recognized 1t as
the brilliant product Of gifted hand.
He resolved to remove the accretions
Of the years, particle by particle, speck
by speck And while engaged i'll doing
so the WOndrOuS face of Christ Shone
upon him in soft and heavenly light.
In losing cheap and inartistic picture
of the Virgin Mary, he found Poussin's
famous painting of the Christ. Such is
the work of loving, reverent scholars
during this transitional time, the most
momentous in the history of the Chris
tian Church. They have removed the
glasses of literalists and theolOgians
that had come between the face of
truth and mems eyes and marred for
them it's perfect symmetry and OBJ
scured its glorious beauty. Blessed are
the eyes which see the things that are
occurring In the interest Of pure and
undefiled religion. For many prophets
and kings desired to see what we are
seeing, to hear what we are hearing
and to know what we are knowing
touching the fulfillment of the ancient
prophecy. Behold | make all things

the brave sergeant fell, pierced by

When we had gained the position to

honor. Ours had been presented TO us

with enthusiasm.
Suddenly Ned Barton, who had dis

by the bridle-rein, turned to me and
cried with great yehemence:
Captain there is the sergeants

and saw the horse galloping wildly over

have that flag if l die in saving it!
Don't refuse me-Im off," and before
l could speak word the boy was dash

riderless horse. He had scarcely start
