WHY Soldiers Get Wet.

piled:
Don't you know, sir, that soldiers
never carry umbrellas? History records

Civil War, and group of officers were
holding up umbrellas to shield them
selves from a thunder storm when Gen
eral Grant passed.

and sent an aide to the officers with
this historic message:

brellas in war, and will not allow any
of nv soldiers to make themselves rid

THE ETHICS OF PRAYER.


Text: "Gen ought always to pray"
Luke xviii 1.
Prayer is not ordering God to do our
bidding. If such were the case He
would not want to live in this world,
for millions of people, many Of whom
are young and Inexperienced, would
be ordering God to do things every
day, and in doing them He would give
us "a mess of a world" to live in But
real prayer is asking and receiving
from God grace to do what He wishes
us to Go.
1t is right that children should come
to their parents not only with words
of gratitude and loving appreciation
but with any burden Of need. 1t Is the
right OF children to be guided and sup
piled By parental wisdom and wealth.
1t would give loving father great
pain to learn that one of his Children
had decided never to ask him for any
thing else. 1t would be an aspersion
upon his love and friendship. Prayer
iessness. therefore, proves an unfilial
state Of mind.
AS 2 subject petitioning ruler. as a
plaintiff pleading before judge. as
a friend making known his need to a
friend, and as child crying to faith
err every Christian has right to pray.

Experiment with Lambs,

Some breeds of sheep attain heavy
Weights if pushed from the start, but
they must have rich pastures and be
Jyeu plenty Of grain. A full allowance
Of hay will be sufficient, with but little
crain. but some of the mutton breeds
,ap consume over two pounds of grain
each per day. An experiment with
lambs at the Iowa station showed that
100 lambs of various breeds consumed
24501 pounds of food in ninety days
and gained 4,67S pounds, while seven
selected individuals Of the breeds con-
sumed 1892 pounds Of food and
gained 1921 pounds. The gain was at
the rate Of one pound increase in live
weight for each 1877 pounds of food
ldry matter) of all breeds tested, and
one pound for each 7.25 pounds Of food
BY the seven special breeds, the food
consisting Of corn, oats, bran, oil meal,
turnips mangels, pea hay, clover hay
and timothy, the average gain being a
little over half a pound a day. The
cost Of the gain in live weight was 2.SS
cents per pound for the selected breeds
and 2.93 cents for the others. This
does not include the fleece, labor or
manure. The lambs sold at $4.75 per
hundred pounds, live weight, and the
yearlings at $4.25. Shropshire year
Iings dressed over 81 per cent. Where
early lambs are gotten into market the
prices received are sometimes very
high, and the growth of the lambs is
promoted by liberal feeding and care.
The object in calling attention to the
mutton breeds is to show the impor-
lance of feeding lambs and sheep, in
stead of depending on cheap lands and
scanty pastures. In the summer give
the sheep good pastures and grain; in
winter, feed a variety of food, using
plenty of hay and grain, and give them
comfortable quarters at night.

Not to pray is, therefore, to live an
unethical life in our reations to God
and man, in that we are not doing
what we ought to do. To pray in the
name Of Jesus Christ is to be endued
with the power of the King of the Uni
verse, to receive pardon from the
Judge of all the EARTH" to be sup
Piled with the bounty of the richest
friend in the world, and to have the
constant care of loving father.
II you are not living that life of
prayer, will you not come before God
with the publican's penitent petition,
God be merciful to me a sinner" and
you Will go down from this house justi-
fed before God and with a song Of
praise in your soul.

Short Meter Sermons.

No soul can grow without solicitude
Often a hot old town is due to a cold
old church.
Every occasion for pessimism is
call to Improvement.
They who grow in grace surely will
grow more gracious.
If you cannot stand ridicule you new
er will earn applause.
1t is no use preaching about happi-'
ness with vinegar in your voice.
Folks who always are looking for
faults always are far-sighted.
The less religion in some men the
more theoogy they cam hold.
You are not likely to make straight
truth by twisting scripture texts.
There's more affection in blunt truth
than in the caresses of affectation
When men have bound their eyes
they always open their mouths wider.
When a church really has a worthy
work she will not want for workers
You may know mans power when
you know the things that provoke him.
You cannot establish your citizenship
in heaven by lodging your taxes here
The fairest pictures on memories
walls are those seen through the mist
Of tears.
The man who actually has free sal
walton always is anxious to pay some
thing for it's extension.
It never has been explained why the
Sunday drizzle looks wetter than q
Monday downpour.
What paradise this world would be
if every man was as good as he would
have the rest of us be!
Some Christians faithfully obey the
injunction to watch but they wear
out their eyes watching for faults in
their neighbors.
When a man is guided wholly by his
past he runs around in circle like a
hen trying to find out where to go by
following its tail.

perfect conservation puts it's hand
on every moment of our time 1t will
not allow US to be devoted on the Sab
bath and then careless, prayerless I'M
spiritual and even worldly on the week
days.
There are men who seem to be COM
pletely the Lords as Sunday school
superintendent, but are just as plain
~, worldly or business absorbed beings,
all the other days of the week. Some
men belong to the Lord while in the
church building but in another build
ing they are not His.
perfect conservation means the
yielding up to God of the soul with it's
will, intellect, sensibilties and every
one of it's marvellous forces and powers.
The fully dedicated body, indeed, proves
that the spirit is all right, for the soul
goes along with the body. But in the
Bible we find the specific language,
My son, give Me thy heart" The
heart here stands for the soul, and God
never calls sinner a son. He is not
son by nature and can only become
SO by being born of the Spirit. The
popular platform talk about the univer-
sal Fatherhood of God is simple rot.
Christ Himself said of a certain body
of people, "Ye are of your father, the
DEVIL
So it is the child Of God who is ask
ed to present his body living sacrifice,
and to give his heart in all it's fullness
and completeness to God.
A perfect conservation means the Civ
ing up Of every tie and interest for the
obtainment Of Christ in the purifying
abiding, satisfying sense taught in the
Bible. The Savior said unless we left
father, mother, lands, brethren and all
for His sake, we were not worthy of
Him.

will prevent the proper cultivation of
corn, as working the corn destroys the
pumpkin vines, the result being that
late weeds get a chance to grow and
mature. It is urged in defense Of
growing pumpkins in the corn field
that they do not interfere with cult
walton until the corn is "laid BY" but
much depends upon the land, rainfall
and thoroughness of cultivation. Corn
should never be "laid by" as long as
weeds and grass can have an opportu-
nifty to grow, cultivation being given it

Care of the Lawn.

Be careful in moving the lawn dur
ing very dry weather. If the grass
plot is kept too close the grass may die
c,,t should there be a lack of sufficient
moisture The cutting of grass weak
ems the plant at first, as every success
sive growth is in the direction Of pro-
ducing seed. Any plant can be de-
stroyed if kept cut close to the ground.
It may make new growth several times,
Int sooner or later becomes exhausted.
When moisture is abundant, however,
the plant has better opportunities to
renew it's growth.

Hens in Summer.

The cheapest way to keep q flock Of
hens in summer is to turn them on a
range, and let them pick up all the
food required, as they will fill their
crops several times a day with bugs,
grass seeds, worms, etc. When fed
grain during warm weather the fowls
are liable to become too fat, in which
condition the hens do not lay and are
then also more liable to disease. Eggs
may not be high in summer, but they
can be produced at a very small cost
at that season if the hens are made to
seek their food.
