cute the church. THE daughters of
men, accept proposals of marriage
from the "sons of God," and, as a re-
suit. the deluge.
The pagan world tried to kill the
church for nearly 800 years. Its eff.
forts only multiplied her members
and power. The blood of the mar
tyrs has ever been the seed of the
church. When, however, Constantine
offered to join wealth, honor and polit-
ical power to the church she ac-
cepted the offer. and what the second
Adam refused the second Eve gladly
received, and the result was a fallen
church. We see in this Satan's usual
tactics. He likes to appear s:S an
angel of light He would help us. He
offers to help Eve to knowledge and
power. He would help Christ in sup
plying him with food and in giving
him earthly glory.
In proportion as the church has re-
sisted the wiles of this charmer she
has been strong, and in proportion as
she has accepted and formed alliances
with the world she has been weak
Israel alone with God could never be
conquered, but when she formed al
liances with Egypt or the Canaanites
her enemies found little difficulty in
making quick work of her. Hezekiah
was not overcome by the bold threats
Of the messengers of Sennacherib.
Their insolent words drove him to
God, who sent his angel to strike dead
his enemies, but when the messengers
of Merodach- -Baladan came with words
of friendliness and flattery he opened
| to them his treasures, and letting
them into the secret of his strength,
was thus the occasion of Israers
| downfall.
| A prominent preacher said some
time ago that Puritanism was forever
dead in New York city. He might
have added that in many of the
churches Christianity was as dead as
Puritanism. and I wonder what rela-
ton the death of Puritanism has had
to the death of Christianity. We have
no fancy for the style of hat and coat
which the Puritans wore, but in the
Puritan character there was sturdy
stuff. Theirs was no invertebrate the
ology, jelly-fish morality or india-rub
| ber conviction. They were such men
as you would like for your daughter
to marry; as you would trust in bust
ness; as make country great. And
these men of heroic conviction were
not blue and melancholy ascetics
Their pleasure was not of the variety
theater type. It was not made up oi
i froth, but flowed from beneath the
throne, deep as the river of God.
The sons of God went courting the
daughters of men, and that is often
the case to-day. Some churches court
the world more than the world courts
them. Such church hopes to gel
something out of the world by becom
ing worldly.
The union of the church with the
world in it's vanities means a loss ol
power. A Brahmin said to mission
ary in India: I'VE are beginning te
find you Christians out. You are MOI
as good as your book; if you were
the world would soon be converted
Worldly men despise the Christianity
that apes their ways and is, therefore
no better than themselves.

Ever since the passage of the pure
food law, manufacturers have COM
planned of the injustice of denying
them the use Of the small amount Of
preservatives necessary to keep GER
tain kinds of food products from fer
mentation or other form of deteriora-
ton. Prof. Wiley of the bureau of
chemistry in the department of agri-
culture has appointed pure food COM
mittee, to represent the different
states having pure food laws. the OBJ
5ect Of which will be to harmonize the
state laws with the laws of the gov
ernment. The committee will also,
without doubt, define what is a safe
amount of preservative to be used. 1t
is said that there has been an increase
Of ptomaine-poisoning since the pure
food law went into effect. but perhaps
the statement, like some of the food
products, can best be taken with a
grain OF salt-or of boracic acid.

by both Hebrews and Irish, there was
displayed in an East Broadway win
dow a banner which read: "Vote for

being Henry NJ. Goldfogle.

CANADA AFFORDS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
~ FOR SETTLEMENT.


many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from the grain
fields Of Western Canada, where such
large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few
years. It is pleasing to be able to re-
port that generally the wheat yield
has been good; it will average about
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
80 bushels to the acre. and others
where SO bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
OF all grains will bring to the farmers
magnificent return for their labors.,
An instance has been brought to my
notice of q farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown-who
made a net profit of $19.55. per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. so, 40, and so bushel; yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are SO well adapted to grain-raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
Or for those used for dairying pur-
poses.

is now possible to secure 160 acres in

The Poor Rich.

During the past eight months the
rich have had a hard time. A railroad
director said recently that "it is
great deal harder for a man who has
been living at the rate of two hundred
thousand a year to get down to a fifty
thousand-a,year standard than it is
for o man who has been living on SIS
q week to get along on $40" This must
BE- so because the fifteen-dollar man
has got along on ten so often that it
Is easy, like any habitual privation.
The multi-millionaire is green hand
ut economizing, and should be pitied
by the expert poor. But he gets no

none. Only this summer a Newport
kladesman announced publicly that he
would not give his rich customers
more than 80 days time in which to
pay for the corned beef, prunes, salt
Goldfish and other delicacies that bend
their tables. The curse of the rich is
their poverty, and it is a pity to see
them ground down by tradesmen. or
course 1t Is hard that in summer, when
the rich are taken from the slums and
sent for fresh air to Newport and
other resorts, they have to be troubled
with bills. But holidays have their
