One Sure Thing.

One thing is sure, my friends: II
God is going to forgive us our sins,
we have got to repent of our sins and
turn from them. Let the wicked
forsake his ways" Not only must we
forsake our sins, but we must bring
forth fruits meet for repentance.
don't know who the young man was
who went to his employer the other
morning and said: There's the
money took from you some years
ago." but that was bringing forth
fruits meet for repentance. We have
not only got to forsakel our sins, but
if we have injured any one, if We have
slandered him and caused him to
suffer, we must make restitution as
far as we can And when we bring
forth such fruits, men will have conf
dence in our Christianity. I have
heard of man who had>four Of his
neighbor's sheep stray in among his
own, and he took the marks off them
and kept them. When he was con-
verted, these four sheep troubled him.
Don't think that you are going to
have peace with God II you've got
four sheep that belong to somebody
else, or have put somebody else's
money into your pocket.-Moody.

DISCOVERIES of Opportunity.

It is a popularity Of human nature
that we do not readily respond to op-
portunities for doing good unless we
discover them in ourselves. There is
something in the self-discovery of OPP
pOrtunity that carries with it both in
SpiratiOn and the sense of response
bility. Tell one that the chance con-
fronts him of doing this or that, show
him the human need, and show him
also the way to supply it, and he Will
thank you-but how seldom he will
follow your well-meant but more or
less oficious advice!
On the other hand, let one discover
for himself the thing that ought to be
done, and most likely he will go and
do it. The very discovery of human
need is an incentive to human help
fulness. One is ripe for the joy and
inspiration of service that begins with
his own initiative.
Is not this one of Gods wise pro-
visions for keeping us. alive to the
constant presence of opportunities? !?
He gives us great joy in the personal
discovery of them, and the personal
response to them, whereas an oppor-
tunity discovered and pointed out by
another is~a kind Of lifeless and re-
mote thing, that we respond to, 1t we
respond at all, perfunctorily and with
out enthusiasm. at such times we
feel as If we had been cheated out
Of the best part of the joy of doing
good-the doing it upon our own in
itiative, with the glad heart that is
alert to opportunity's call. Wisely
has it been said that "the value of an
opportunity largely consists in having
seen it for ones self. The Watch
man.

CLEAN THE GRAIN FIELDS.

With all our pains in selecting seed
grain many weeds and other obnoxi-
Gus plants persist in showing up
along about harvest time. The only
way to get rid of these pests Is to
go through the fields now and pluck
out the individual plants. The plan
is perfectly practicable if one has
been careful in cleaning his seed
grain. Watch out for mustard and
wild oats. The mustard plant, II al
lowed to mature, will make no end
of trouble; but If the fields are gone
uver just as the mustard blossoms
show it will not be very big job
TO clean them out. With wild oats
the situation is different It reseM-
bles tle cultivated oat in some re-
spects, but it has large. dropping
spikelets. Some claim they do not
fear wild oats in the Central Western
states, as a short rotation OF crops
will rid the fields of it. But 1t Is a
big mistake to allow it to get foot
hold anywhere. Keep it out The
very first question I would ask were
I buying seed oats would be whether
it contained wild oats.-L. G. Brown.

ton OF the modern scientific research
for truth. His challenge was Come
and see." He exalted the child mind
of inquiry, OF openness to the truth
as the type and by taking that atti.
tude toward nature man has come
into possession of her truth. By
obeying nature man has come to con.
troll her. BY getting down humbly
to learn from her, she has exalted
man by her treasures and her secrets
The mind of Christ, which obeys,
which is open to the truth, which
challenges investigation, which sub
mits the nailprints to the most doubt
full scrutiny, is the instrument OF
progress in knowledge. So also in
the moral realm, Christ is the great
power to quicken the conscience, pro-
duce repentance and win the moral
nature to the highest standards. He
has developed the moral nature to
the place where no man can hope to
be religious beyond the extent that
he is moral, and no corporation repre-
sents Christian things beyond the ex-
tent that it incorporates the ethics
of Christian love in all its business.
Christ is leader in the great intel
lectual and moral awakenings Of our
times. He has led us to this mount
of awakening and we, like the favored
apostles, when we are fully awake
will see the glory of Jesus Christ.
Christ is the most powerful force
in human life for the awakening of
the intellect in search for truth, or
the quickening of the conscience to
repentance and faith, and for swing
ing the soul with all it's awakened and
aroused powers into service for men,
even to the point Of free and glad self
sacrifice.
AS men follow Christ, He has re-
habilitated their faith in the spiritual,
and broken the Elusive spell cast over
them by the material, the false and
superstitious views Of God lose their
hold on their minds and fade away be-
! fore the sun-like doctrine of the di-
vine Fatherhood. The selishness oi
mems hearts is softened into brother
| ly good will and the old religions cast
aside their crudities and sink them
selves in the more effulgent light o1
Christianity, the basis for the final
and ultimate faith Of mankind. Who
shall say what greater glories await
to surprise the more fully awakened
powers of mans soul! When we ars
fully awake we shall behold His
glory.
