after several weeks absence. spoke on
Jesus Attitude Toward Pleasures.
Men needed pleasures, he said
and should take them in the way they
preferred so long as they were OF the
right kind.
Dancing and card playing he did not
think wrong so long as they we're proper
" INDUCED in.
Gard playing gave mental stimulus
that was not harmful but when il came
to playing cards for gain that was sin.
Theater going he also approved of so
long as the plays visited were straight,
sober and pure. Such plays he thought
often stimulated one to noble thoughts
and great deeds.
The making of money was to some men
the greatest form of pleasure. Mr.. Rookie
Teller said, and so long as money was &C
cumulated for the doing Of good and the
exaltation of the Lords name it was
proper.
He spoke scathingly. however. OF those
who piled up money simply for the sake
Of piling it up without reference to the
good that might be done with it.

Growing Appreciation Of Alfalfa.

Alfalfa Is gradually spreading all
over the country and its value is be-
ing recognized In almost every gooo
farming community in every state In
the union. Where the rain fall is
heavy in summer It is difficult crop
to harvest because II takes SO long to
cure. but the value OF alfalfa as a feed
is sufficient to pay for the very best
machinery to handle IL and hay caps
to cover Il. When a farmer looks at
his alfalfa and realizes that II is worth
almost as much as the same weight
in bran, he Is willing to go to consid-
cradle trouble and expense to take
proper care OF it. Alfalfa. OF course, Is
at home In the dryer irrigation dis.
tricts of the west, but Il may be almost
as valuable In Ohio. New York state
or New England II is one of the very
best dairy feeds ever grown on a farm.
This Is one reason why IL is becoming
so popular in the milk shipping dis
