Drinking q Farm.

My homeless friend, with the chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring up
the sugar in a ten-cent glass of gin,
let me give you fact to wash down
with it. You say you have longed
for years for the free, Independent
life Of the farmer, but have never
been able to get enough Of money to-
gether to buy farm. But this is
Just where you are mistaken. For
several years you have been drinking
a good improved farm at the rate OF
100 square feet at gulp. If you
doubt this statement figure 1t out
yourself.
An acre of land contains 1850
square feet. Estimating, for conven-
ience, the land at s43.56 per acre,
you will see that it brings the land to
just one mill per square foot. Now
pour down the fiery dose and imag-
inc that you are swallowing straw
berry patch. Call in five Of your
friends and have them help you gulp
down that 500 foot garden. Get on
a prolonged spree some day and see
how long q time it requires to swal-
low a pasture large enough to feed a
cow. Put down that glass OF gin,
there's dirt in it, 100 feet of good,
rich dirt, worth s43.56 per acre

Gods Forgiveness.

The forgiveness of sin is Of Goda
free grace, but it must be sought. It
Is not enough that there is way Of
salvation, we must walk in" It;
not enough that there is forgiveness
with God, He will "be entreated Of"
The promise is: ASK and ye shall
receive He who asks not, receives
not. 49,.
An old writer describes the arrival
of souls at the gate Of Heaven, and
their triumphant entrance. Satan
comes also among them, but is re-
fused "You cannot enter here"
sinned but once; these have entered
who sinned thousand times. They
are forgiven; why am not II" The
condemnation of many a soul at the
Day Of Judgment may be put in the
form Of aaquestion: Have you ever
asked forgiveness?"
Prayer is "the souls desire" The
prayer of the publican, God be mer-
ciful to me, a sinner" offered honest
ly and in faith, will always secure
forgiveness. The publican went
down to his house justified. He
asked, and received; the Pharisee, q
much better man, asked nothing, and
received nothing. !.
I know a young man who for five
years has exiled himself from home.
His fathers commands. were just, but
he rebelled, and was guilty Of griev-
GUS offense. His home, with ten
times the comfort he can earn for
himself, is open when he asks for
giveness for his offense. He admitted
to me that he had done wrong, and
said that he had been a fool; but the
natural pride Of his heart will not
allow him to say to his father what
he said to me. Any reasonable per.
son will say that, while his sin wae
folly, his refusal to- seek forgiveness
Is worse. So may we say Of those
who will not seek the forgiveness OF
sins. The sins themselves were folly
but the greatest folly Is that which
refuses to ask the forgiveness God,
more Just and loving than any earth
" parent, is ready to give.-"Sermon
for Silent Sabbaths." ...,..

CHAPTER Y.
Gnntinned.

My men, being directed thereto by
Maiwa, had most fortunately rolled
up some big powders which lay
about, and with these we soon man
aged to block the passage through the
overhanging ridge of rock in such fash
ion that the soldiers below could not
possibly climb over it.
Indeed, so far as could see they did
not even try to do so; the heart was
out of hem, as the Zulus say.
: Then, having rested few moments.
we took up the loads, including the
tusks of ivory. that had cost US so dear,
and in silence marched on for couple
of miles or so, till we reached q patch
of dense bush.
And here, being utterly exhausted,
we camped for the night, taking the
precaution, however, Of setting guard
to watch against any attempt at sur
prise,

The Decay of Heather Faiths.

The statistics of our mission
boards do not tell the full story OF
our mission results. The decay OF
heather faiths, the turning of the
people away from the tyranny OF
their superstitions and ignorance,
evidence a condition full of mighty
possibilities in the early future. The
idol market in many land is de-
stroyed. The blackness OF heather
despair has turned to the gray OF
Christian hope, prophesying the ris-
ing of the Son of Righteousness.
Not long since a prominent heath
en- official said: 1--WE adults Will re-
main as we are; but our children will

Only the spiritually blind fail to see
that God is bringing to pass an an
swer to the prayer He taught US so
many centuries ago: "Thy kingdom

Crime is Condensed Alcohol.

A remarkably strong condemna-
ton Of the drink traffic was uttered
at the Church Congress at Weymouth
by the chaplain Of Preston Jail, Rev.
st. G.. Caulfeild. He pointed out the
fallacy of the common opinion that
all prisoners belong to what Is called
"the criminal class" whereas in
reality they spring from every class
low, rich and poor" Mr.. Caulfeild
said, as to the causes: Z.
"The first is drink; this stands
head and shoulders above every
other, and those who say that nine
teen out of every twenty convictions
are caused by indulgence in alcohol
are not far from the mark. Crime is,
indeed, condensed alcohol
Coming, as they do, from one
whose statements are based upon
ministerial experience in a large
prison, these words have a weight
and Importance which cannot be de-
cried.-London Christian.

Washington, D. C.-Five members
of the Interstate Commerce Commis-

Lane, were present at the hearing un-
der the new railroad freight rate law
recently enacted by Congress, which
has become effective.
The Trunk Line, New England and
Central railroads were heard, through
their representatives, Jas ! to some
phases of the operation of the new
rate law. Thirty-four representa-
tives of these railroads, including
traffic officials and counsel, and eight
representatives of various shipping
organizations were in attendance.
Every speaker representing the rail-
roads of the country had no disposi-

5. D. Caldwell, vice-preSident OF
the Delaware, LackaWanna and West'
ern road, told the commission that.
through conferences with traffic off,
,ials and attorneys of various lines OF
railroad, they had sought to reach al
understanding Of the new law, to thd
end that they might be in position
properly to observe it.
George V. Massey, general counsel
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, assured the commission that il.
was the desire of all the roads with
which he had conferred to conform
absolutely with the law, and he told
the commission that such publications
as had been made to the contrary
were without the shadow of founda.
ton in fact. I'VE have endeavored,
said he, Ito find out what the law re-
quires, and we have done our best to
meet those requirements as they are
operative.
James Maynard, of Knoxville,
Tenn, president of the" Brookvillo
Mills, q large shipper of cotton goods,
expressed his opposition to the mere
costing in stations Of railroad tariffs.
He said that the great trouble was
that the railroads shifted the classifi.
cation on shippers, which enabled
them to put up higher rate. He ad-
monished the commission that If this
point were rot provided against the
effect of the new law would be nulli.

Through Chairman Knapp the COM

and would make known its decision.

What is Wanted.

Coloney J. A. Ferguson, OF the
British Army, says: "Spasmodic ef.
forts at abstinence, followed by per-
iods during which drink indulgence
is sanctioned or palliated by those in
authority, tend to keep alive that
faith in alcoholic liquors as means
of enjoyment, and that opinion OF
them as fitting reward for bravery
and endurance, which is the bane OF
the army. What is wanted is a pub
lie and official opinion which shall
say that the abstinence asked for in
the men shall be encouraged by the
example as we'll as enforced by the
authority of the officers"
