The brightest stars are burning suns;
The deepest water stillest runs;

The mark of every master-mind.
More things are wrought by prayer

And the good that 1 can do.

story. which caused the comment, fol-
lows in part:
"In the fall of 1904 Mr.. Adams
planted head of Alaska wheat on
high and all too dry land-the natur-
al soil of Idaho. 1t grew rapidly when
the spring opened it's founts and in
the summer he had seven pounds of
wheat from this one head. That was
startling. He hardly dared tell a far
mer of it. He examined the kernels
Four times as large as ordinary wheat
and in color-instead of the homely
brownishgray of wheat of commerce
the prettiest cream color without a
darker spot. Seven pounds of wheat
from one head, and the finest looking
wheat mortal had ever seen! Abraham
Adams began to dream.
Having tested the grains as winter
wheat. Mr.. Adams saved his seven
pounds to try as spring wheat and In
1906 he planted the whole seven
pounds. Sturdily it grew, and when
it was harvested he weighed in 1,545
pounds. His Alaska find had broken
the worlds record for wheat yield,
More than 222 bushels to the acre
was the ratio Of yield, and that with
out any special petting or manipula-
ton. With the worlds average yield
1877 bushels to the acre and a fair
yield for exceptional land Of twenty
bushels, here was the prospect OF q
miracle; a revolution in the wheat in
dustry of the world. But still there
was something that might dash every
hope of a wheat miracle. Was this
Alaska wheat of good quality? Would
it make good bread?
with this last idea in mind the ex-
perimenting farmer carried a small
quantity of his wheat to the Idaho
experimental station. He knew he
had a wheat that yielded past any be-
lief He had something marvellous in
a wheat that yielded equally as we'll
planted winter or spring. Did he have
a good wheat? The chemists and ex-
perts at the station tested 1t and pro-
nounced it a good quality Of hard

pens and brushes have never caught.
So always Gods works are best. Some
times we think that We can improve
on his plans, and better his ways. Full

there is no other possible way equal to
his way. The sea breaches the sermon

of life, take away the sharp edges from
