Sacredness of Small Things.

We should realize the sacredness
of small things which we ignore or
despise-the deed that uplifts, al
though it is unheralded; the word
that inspires, although uttered so
gently that your neighbors do not
hear it; the hand clasp which puts
your brother firmly on his feet with
out public applause. Hence the small
things dare not be despised by those
of us who wish to rise to higher
things.
thank God for our religious privi-
leges. We all have equal rights un-
der the Stars and Stripes. The Prot
estant and Catholic, the Jew and
Gentle, the Mohammedan may build
his mosque, the Buddhist his temple.
We have no State church, no coercive
religious laws. We are responsible
to no human power for our religious
convictions, responsible only to God
The church that makes the hest men
and women is the best church.

The lessons OF the quarter extend
over a period of 81 years. They are
all concerned with the life and words
of David and Solomon. A profitable
review could be conducted along the
line of what the lessons teach about
God Another would be to study the
teaching about sin, It's consequences
and pardon. Material for such re-
views can be found in the notes. Still
another reveiw would be to get each
member of the class to give the CEN
trail teaching of the lesson. A num-
bor of opinions. will be given about
the teaching in each lesson. The fol-
lowing are given simply as sugges-
tions:
Lesson 1.-The necessity of serv-
ing God in the precise way His Word
instructs.
Lesson II.-God's superabounding
grace; David purposed to build God a
house and God covenanted to build
him a house and to establish his
house and his kingdom forever.
Lesson III.--David's kindness to
Mephibosheth, type of our David's
| kindness to us.
Lesson IV.-If we seek to cover
| our sins from God He will uncover
them and fill our hearts with heavi-
ness, but If we uncover our sins be-

Lesson V.-Whatsoever man SOW

father will reap in his wayward chill

has sown; the king who is disloyal to

Holes should be bored at top and
bottom for half-inch bolts across the
ends to hold the sides in position.
The bottom of the vat is made Of
sheet iron nailed to the bottom and
on to the vat The vat should be
long enough to come around both
ends and fasten at top and, also,
should be wide enough to come up
the sides for two or three inches.
Three irons, one and one-half inches
thick and one inch wide are passed
under the tank and used to support
the bottom They are shown at AAA.
These should come up at least four
inches at the side.
A trench eight feet long, twenty
inches wide, fifteen inches deep
should be dug and the vat placed over
it. The trench should be dug so that
the wind has a straight draught under
the vat. Fill the vat two-thirds full
of water. The scraping bench should
be set against the side of the vat.
Light chains, each about eight fee
long, are used to lower and raise the
hog into the water. These chains
should be fastened at the edge of thu

about two feet six inches apart. b!

infinite Possibilities For the Believer.

The holiness of men on the earth
is not beautiful, and like the holiness
of angels, and like its Divine Auth
or; but its character is progressive.
and its course is onward and upward
to perfected excellence. From its
first act of prostration before the
mercy seat, where 1t lifts its hands
and heart to God; where 1t pours in
to His ear its voice of alternate PEN
itence and praise, and where. In full
view of the blood of the covenant,
its faith takes hold of His righteous
ness and His promise; 1t rises, though
it may be in unequal progress, high
er and still more high, till at last
its anticipations are realized in views
that are to be never obscured, in af-
fections OF unmingled purity, and In
the fulness of Joy.
Wondrous words are those uttered
by the apostle when he says: BE.

gnawing fruit trees Is made by mix
ing lime, carbolic acid and sulphur
with little copperas. Take a bucket
the size of common water bucket,
place therein a tablespoonful Of car

convenient, a handful OF any home

and enough rock lime to make a good

and the carbolic acid are the i'm

may be dispensed with. although they

You remember the humorous poem
by John Godfrey SAKE about the four
blind Hindus who went to see an
elephant. They could not see the ele-
phant, but they said what they had
seen. One happened to lean against
the elephant ard declared. 1t was
much like a wall. Another got hold
of his tail and described him as being
like a rope. Another got his trunk
and said he was a serpent, and the
fourth ran against his tusk and said
he was shaped very much like a spear.
The fact is that they had not seen the
elephant at all. That is all. And
that Is my sermon. The objectors
