YESTERDAY AND TOMORROW.
Bv Rev. HENRY r Con

BY Rev. Henry +. Cope.
Forgetting the things which are be-
hind, and stretching forward to the
things which are before Phil. ill.,,
Is.
The regret is vain that looks not to
reconstruction. The best expression Of
sorrow for yesterdays wrongdoing Is
service for to-day's right. 1t is a good
thing to look back, but only that we
may push forward. There is no con-
ISOLATION for the individual, no better
ment for society, in the gospel that goes
not beyond repentance.
There are many who are eating out
their own hearts with bitter repentings
Of past follies The cheer is driven
from every day by the memory of old
wrongdoing; they fairly are haunted
by fearsome past. Perhaps, as a plain
matter of fact, their sins are not as
gross as they seem imagination has
magnitied them. But dwelling on them,
porting over them, they have paralyzed
their own possibilities of present I'M
provement.
It is true that no man car undo his
past. It is true, as many know in bit
terness and pain of spirit, that con-
science and memory constantly pierce
the hearts with the thorns that have
grown from past sowing. But is there
folly greater than that Of the man or
woman who permits regret for failing
to prevent any attempt at rising again?
Every day is new day. Every life
may make new beginnings. All else is
lost when hope is lost; the light fades
from the eyes and the soul seems to
perish within the man when he ceases
to believe that he can make yet one
more beginning. Heaven rejoices when
we weep over our own wandering, but
greater far is the JOY when we arise
and set our faces toward home again.
In the race of life many things may
bring q man down, but he alone is re
sponsible for it if he is both down and
out. We, the competitors, may be ever
ready to cry Failure but somehow
we know that eternal justice will pro

In the Face of Death.

It is one of the anomalies Of war that
although it stirs the savage nature Of
mankind, it also calls out the highest
qualities Of courage, unself1shness and
devotion. Many a deed of martial hero
ism is done in the name of mercy rath-
err than of the God of battle. No de-
scription of a fierce charge records
more determined valor than does the
story of Richard Kirkland as told by
General Kershaw.
Kirkland was a private who served
in the South Carolina Volunteers dur
Battle Of Fredericksburg his brigade
occupied the road near the field. One
hundred and fifty yards beyond the
field lay the Federal troops, and be-
tween the ground was covered by the
dead and dying. All day long the air
was rent with the cries and groans Of
the wounded, and the pitiful calls,
Water! Water!"
In the afternoon, as General Ker-
shaw sat in the upper room of his head
quarters overlooking the field, Kirkland
asked permission to speak to him.
General" said the young man, Il
can't stand it,
"Stand what, sergeant?'
Cali night and all day I've heard
those poor people crying for water. l
came to ask permission to give them a
drink"
Kirkland" responded the general,
don't you know that If you step over
that wall you'll get a bullet in your
head?"
81 know 1t, but 1 am willing to try -
The general considered a moment.
Il ought not to allow you to run such
a risk" he said, "but 1 cannot refuse
your request. Trusting God will pro
tect you, you may CO."
The sergeant's eyes lighted with
pleasure.
Thank you, sir!" he said, heartily
and ran down the stairs. When he
reached the bottom Of the flight, he hest
tated, turned and ran up again.
General, can 1 show the white hand
kerchief?"
The general slowly shook his head.
mo, Kirkland, you can't do that"
"All right! I'll take the chance y
and he was off again.
From the windows Of the house the
| officers watched him run across the
road and climb the wall. He made his
way quickly to the nearest sufferer
raised the poor fellows head on bis
arm, and gave him long draft of cool
water.
From one he went to another, until
his purpose was so plain in the eyes OF
the Federals that all danger was over,
From all parts of the field came the
piteous appeals; again and again Kirk
land had to return for water, and he
spent an hour and a half in ministering
to the needs of the wounded. Then he
reioined his company unhurt.
At Chickamauga Kirkland fell. His
example was one which dignified all
humanity.

LAX CHRISTIANS.
By Rev. J. O. Davis.

By Rev. ]. O. Davis.
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,
beseech you that We walk worthy of the
vocation wherewith We are called
Ephesians iv. ].
The greatest hindrance to the spread
of the Christian religion is not the at
tacks of its open enemies, but the lax
and often vicious lives of its professed
adherents. The Christian religion Is a
call to life, not to the mere intellectual
acceptance of a system Of philosophy,
however beautiful and inspiring its
teachings may be. The faith of the
Christian in Jesus Christ must be
shown by his living in a Christian man.
ner.
IN the very early days of his minis
try our blessed Lord laid down certain
fundamental principles which were to
govern the lives of His disciples. They
are to live in the world, yet not to be of
the world; earthly mindedness is to be
far from them; they are to seek first
the kingdom of heaven and his righte-
BUSINESS. Their religion is to permeate
the whole life, not to be put on for GER
tain days and seasons and then laid
aside. 1t should make itself felt in the
house, the workshop, the office, the fac
tory, the school. Every relation of life
must feel it's sanctifying touch. They
are to be "the light of the WORLDLY
their example to guide mems feet
Alright. They are to be ''the salt of the
earth,' whose function Is to purify
and sweeten society.
When those without see many who
profess and call themselves Christians
living in apparent disregard of their
vocation, is it wonderful that they
turn away?
Surely never more than to-day have
men needed the exhortation of the apos
tie, Il beseech you that We walk wor-
thy of the vocation wherewith We are
called"
In another place ST. Paul expresses
in a word the whole meaning of the
Christian vocation; they are ''called to
be saints"-that is, they are devoted to
God.
This calling is not received for the
comparatively few who in every age of
the church stand out conspicuously,
towering above their fellows like lofty
mountain peaks; it is for every Chris
tons, however humble and simple he
may be. Only here and there one at
tains to the height reached by those
rare souls to whom the church delights
to give the title saint but all are OBJ
ligated to make the effort to do So The
example after which they patterned
their lives is the pattern for all. He
who gave them strength to gain the
height stands ready to strengthen all
offers
If we would walk worthy of our vo-
cation we will not wait for opportu-
nifty to do some great thing, but we will
endeavor to do our duty each day as
it comes to us. Those homely, every
day duties that so often seem irksome
may be glorified if they are looked
upon, as in reality they are, as step
ping stones to heaven. We will patient
ly accept the trials that beset US. We
will endeavor steadfastly to overcome
the temptations of the world, the flesh
and the devil. We will seek to live
always as in the sight Of the Lord and
do all things for his glory.

CONFLICT OF THE AGES.
By Rev. A. c. Dixon, .. D

Text-"Howbeit, many of them

fused to believe God when he said,
"Thou shalt surely die" there has

followed the light of the sun and the
shadow of the earth around the globe
every day and we have in text and
context the love Of Christ leading the
forces of faith against the forces of
unbelef.
Note the call of unbelief-OrganiZa-
ton, learning, society, prejudice, self
interest and religion. Against organf
zation stands individualism. Christ
makes the individual conscious, .magni-
fies the value of the immortal soul, and
links love for himself with that of love
for neighbor. He would not have the
organization destroy the individual.
Over against the learning of the
schools is the wisdom and revelation
of God. Over against the arlstocracy
Of position is the aristocracy of char
acter. Over against prejudice is truth;
and in the battle between truth and
prejudice, truth sooner or later will be
victor.
Some time ago a party Of us were
climbing Mount Mitchell, one of the
highest peaks east of the Rocky Noun
tains. and saw what one Of the party
called 1.-The battle of the clouds" It
was a scene never to be forgotten. We
assembled gradually along the crest of
the mountain nearly nine miles. On
the east, to our left, the sun was shin
ing in all it's glory, but there had been
a conflict of clouds on that side for a
while. The wind blew from the east
toward the sun. White soldiers of light
stood on the crest and met the black
soldiers of cloud as they marched to
the attack. The conflict ragged for half
an hour. It was scene that thrilled.
By and by we saw the clouds begin to
waver. They parted, opened, fell back,
seemed to stagger, while the sunlight
followed up the victory. pursuing the

them until every valley was filled with
the glory of the sunlight. There is a
battle between the while soldiers of
faith and the black soldiers of unbe-
lief. What we need is to get on the
sunward side. "Have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness"

NOR of light and the God of light will
give you the victory.

Timber ON the Farm.

Every farmer should have his acre
or more of timber. 1t pays in many
ways-providing protection, fuel and
shade. More than that, there is such
a tremendous demand for wood that
the timber division of a farm could be
made in time to yield a monetary

start a forest. but once started, it will

Growing Cucumbers for Picking.
FACTORIES for picking cucumbers are
oelng established wherever the farm
ers can be induced to become interest
ed. Small pickles, not over 21a inches
long, usually bring about so cents per
Dushel, bushel containing about 800
pickles. The average yield is estimated
at 100 bushels per acre, though sew
eral hundred bushels may be grown
upon an acre. The miIdew destroys the
vines in some sections, but this is kept
down by spraying. The striped cucum-
Der beetle, which can not be destroyed
Dy paris green or ordinary insecticides,
is formidable enemy where it makes
It's appearance. The long green varie-
ties of cucumbers are used. Plenty of
manure should be applied. A fertilizer
consisting of one part nitrogen, one
part phosphoric acid and two parts of
potash is about the proper formula for
cucumbers. Cucumbers are sailed with
two quarts of salt per bushel of cucum-
bers, packed closely in tierces or bar
rels, and enough brine added to cover
them. The brine should be added daily,
as evaporation lowers the water in
the vessel and exposes the cucumbers,
which may damage them. Growers can
cooperate, form joint stock company,
and sell the pickles on the market,
thus securing the largest profit posi-
