Applied Truth.

A farmer discovered a wasps' nest IN the
roof of his barn at the very top of the roof
There were some wheat stacks in the yard
and a lot of corn in the barn, for harvest
was nearly over, but the wasps were a
great annoyance. SO the farmer decided to
destroy them. A fresh load of corn had
just come in so he climbed upon 1t with q
long pole on which was fastened a bunch of
tow dipped in turpentine. He lighted this
and touched it to the wasps' nest. The barn
was very dry and before the farmer knew
what he had done the flames had spread
and were beyond his. control. He destroyed
the waSps' nest, but he also destroyed his
barn and nearly the whole of his crop.
That is the way we sometimes do In Chris
tian work. We are SO set against some 9TH
er workers in our socitey or church that We
destroy all the good we might do by re-
fusng to work with them or by being so
disagreeable to them that their feelings are
hurt, and so fire of jealousy and resent
ment Is started among them and their
friends.
In the north of France there Is country
that goes by the name of 1.-The country OF
iH-will." When tenants are elected or when
they have left under unpleasant c1rcum-
stances they have way Of spelling the
crop that is coming by sowing tares and
other coarse strangling weeds among the
wheat This practice has been made penal
and any man discovered to have done such
a thing is dealt with after the manner of a
criminal.
Archbishop Trench says: IT have known
outgoing tenant, in spite at his election
to sow wild oats in the fields when he was
leaving These ripening and seeding them
selves before the crops in which they were
mingled, 1t became next to impossible to get
rid of them
1t is said that Harlan Page once asked a
young man, Are you a friend of the Lord
Jesus Christi The young man answered,
Il am afraid | must answer you, No, not
yet. " We'll, then" said Mr. Page, Il sup
pose I shall have to put you down among
those who as yet are among the enemies
of Christ" He that is not with me is
