ing confidence in the benef1cent order
ing of all things; fear has given place
to reverence, reverence for law and rev
erence for the good that seems to be
the final goal of all.
Superstition is retreating before sci
ence, fear has given place to a concep-
ton of a world ordered by infinite love
and we have come to ask a new question :
After all, is there anything IN all the
universe to fear? Does not every open
ing page Of natures great book disclose
unvaryfng law working out purposes of
Unreasonable love?
The great question for us all is not
whether we have been rescued from
hordes of savage, hidden demons or
sna tched from imminent hell; the
question is not whether we are ready
to die because we have bargained for
heaven; the great question is whether
we are saved from the old life Of fear,
of dread, of cowardly sinking through
the world into the full life of faith,
into the life in harmony with Gods
universe.
Salvation is a process and not a
place; it is life and not legal ar
rangement. 1t is continuous it may
be that it never will be completed, for
it is the leading of life out into its
fullness. into harmony with it's uni
verse, into understanding of all its re-
lationship, into efficiency in all it's ser
vice
We need to think perhaps not so
much of what we may be saved from
as of what we are saved toward, to-
ward the highest living we know, to-
ward full and perfect harmony with
all being, here and everywhere, human
and divine Only by faith in world
ordered for good, only by faith in the
great life in which we move and nave
our being can one come into such full
ness of life.
Men are saved by faith, by faith in
what they may be. by confidence in the
right, good, orderly working Of the
world for the best, by simple trust in
the great love of the infinite Father,
by living on the working axiom that
goodness and truth and kindness-the
things that are best-are the things
that are mighty and dominant.
We need to be saved from ourselves,
from our fearful, abased God libe'inS
selves into our better, higher, aspir-
ing, God loving selves by the faith in
the goodness of God, in the love that
lies behind all law, in the high posi-
bilities of ourselves and the good pur-
poses of all men. Fear of what might
be only binders, faith in what may be
sublimely helps.

Destroying Weeds.

In destroying annual weeds one
method is to disk the stubble fields,
causing the weed seed to terminate,
after which they can be killed by sub
sequent cultivation or by frost Anoth-
er method is to turn live stock, espe-
cially sheep into these stubble fields to
eat up the weeds and weed seeds. The
value of cultivated crops, rotations and
summer fallows is also discussed.
The eradication of perennials is more
difficult than in the case of ANNALS
For these they tried smother crops

For small areas of quack grass, cover
ing with tar paper was found effective
but was too costly for field applica-

muda grass in its habit of spreading,
and it equally persistent, this method
may be of interest to those who wish

SOUL MUST BE NoURIsHED.
'-----.. . -

By Rev. Guy Arthur Jameson.
How can the tag grow without
water?-Job Sill.
Life in it's simplest forms is
mystery, an ever present miracle that
has become commonplace, and in TINS
ultra practical age, If we stop to look
beneath the surface OF things, 1t is
more often to estimate in terms OF
dollars and cents. But even at the
risk Of becoming visionary let us view
for moment the modest. fragile life
of the flag.
If we could but understand the how
and why of its existence, we would
have solved the problem Of the life OF
nature, man and God. Life, whatever
it's external expression, is Il part OF
the great riddle of the universe. We
know that life has its origin in life.
1t is not an accident, it is not self
created. We call the source Of life
God but that is not solution of the
problem. It is but confession that
we cannot understand 1t still remains
the eternal mystery.
Life having been started. is not even
self-sustaining. There is no form Of
life that is independent of all other
life. The flag needs only little earth,
{. little sunshine, little moisture, and
1t comes into perfection. But the higher
the forms Of life, the more complex,
the more dependent trey become When
Al (,, tI,a Of
God" In whom we find the highest
expressions Of life, we find him MAX
ing demands upon all other forms The
physical. mental and spiritual must
contribute to the needs of his triune
nature The elements of the mineral
vegetable. animal and spiritual king
doms go into the texture Of his soul,
and as the flag cannot grow II one
element necessary to its life be missing
so man cannot come into his best per-
lection If the demands of his whole
man are not met The physical is bat
the soil in which is to grow his best
self
SO St is possible for man to give
his time and energy and talent to the
needs of the dwelling while neglecting
the dweller within. Man may grow
into a perfect animal, possess Gull
tivated brain, become carefully reli-
gious and yet carry In his bosom a
starved atrophied soul. The flag can
not grow without water; the mind viii
not develop without thought and hnowi-
edge, and there can be no soul growth
without God. Man does not develop i'll
the highest sense until he comes into
conscious need of spiritual attain
ment-until there is hungering aud
thirsting after the fruits Of the spirit
-gentleness, long suffering, goodness,
temperance, love.
God has made provision for mans
every need, but He has made it impera-
tive that he put forth effort IL he would
attain it. And the struggle to fill tine
hungry mouth, meet the needs Of the
inquiring mind and quiet the insistent
soul is what we call life. The measure
of it's success. the degree Of its full
ness will largely depend upon the
strenuousness of the individuals eff

SAVED FROM FEAR TO FAITH.

By Henry F. Cope.
"Who by the power of God are guard
ed through faith unto a salvation ready
to be revealed in the last time /.
Peter, Is.
II a man steps up to you on the
street, takes you by the buttonhoie, ara
inquiries Are you saved%' between
surprise and resentment you hardly
know what answer to give him.
Yet, if it be true as we are still told,
that without some definite, marked ex-
perience called Salvation" we are ali
in imminent peril, the wonder is that
the question is not asked more often
There doubtless are many to whom
the question has thrilling import. They
live in q world Of fear, for they are
only partly delivered from that state of
sayagery IN which the whole universe
was peopled with demons, with spirits
cruel. malignant. and malicious. They
walk in trembling dread of devils that
assail in dark places, of yaWning hells
waiting to ingulf them.
II this world is so ordered as to oD-
pose our good. if the universe is our
foe. we do indeed need to be saved. to
be delivered from it. But it is strange
that those who sing most loudly of the
goodness of God should also insist so
strongly on the diabolicai character of
the world He has created and ordered
1t is not long since we were practical
ly all in a bondage of fear Even little
children are made to dread beds lest
they should die before morning and find
themselves unprepared in the presence
of an offended deity, while strong men
carried around the tormenting question,
Am | safe If / should die?
Something within US has always

Farming on Arid Land.

carm1ng Arid Land.
successful farming on arid land with
out artificial watering has been
brought to the notice of the Agricultur
ai Society OF Germany, with an expla-
nation OF the method In Syria and
Falestlne, with practically no rain
ftom April to October, the fields in
july nave a fiourishing abundance of
Watefmelons, cucumbers, tomatoes and
other products, and plants continue
green and thriving until autumn. The
secret lies in so blowing that the win
ter rains are absorbed and retained in
the subsoil. The blowing is shallow,
averaging only 4 to 6 inches in depth.
and after the full harvest it follows
each heavy rain as soon as the ground
begins to dry, the purpose being to keep
loose and friable surface to take I'D
the water from the subsoil. In the
spring the land is plowed to a depth of
about & inches. The seed is dropped
Dy the pillow upon the moist subsoil and
1t is covered by the closing up Of the
loose soil. Protected by the loose COW
ering, the subsoil furnishes sufficient
moisture for plant growth during the
entire dry season.
