CHURCH MUST REACH POOR.
By Rev. Cyrus Townsend 81

ny new SyAOS AoWuSSAu brady.
He that humbleth himself shall be
exalted.-St. Luke xiv, II.
The Goth of October happened to be
st. Crispin's day. Crispin, with his
brother, Crispinian, attested his faith
with his life in the year 2SS He was
beheaded at Scissors France, in the
persecution under Maximin.
The most significant fact concerning
him is that he was a shoemaker and
the patron saint of shoemakers It is
only the Christian church which makes
saints of cobblers. To-day, when an
enterprise is to be projected, efforts
are made to enlist in it's support the
great. those who by wealth and birth
are natural leaders
The Christian church was established
amid the humblest and poorest classes
of society; its shoemakers, its wash
women, its fishermen, its laborers be-
came its saints. In a world cursed
with aristocracy it found its home and
won its success among the plain peo-
pie 1t was not until the lapse of 800
years that it converted an emperor
and brought an empire under its sway,

SHORT METER SERMONS.

To praise a good action is to part1c1-
pate in it's repetition.
He cannot defend the truth who is
afraid of any truth.
1t takes adversely to show whether
we have any real prosperity.
He who has nothing to do always
does worse than nothing.
Getting sore at the world is ready
way of tanning yourself in the race.
He does not know what forgiveness
is who is too lazy to resent wrong.
Trying to get even with an enemy is
a sure way of sinking below him.
The worst of all failures are those
who never fail because they never try.
The man who has nothing but refiec-
ton puts his headlight on the caboose.
It's a waste of time to fix up your
statistics for the benefit Of the record
ing angel
Many a man thinks he is a saint be-
cause he has dreams of heaven every
Sunday.
The man who talks to please himself
soon has an audience well pleased with
itself.
One resolution to do the right thing
is worth a bushel of resolutions not to
do wrong things.
If your faith does not justify itself
by it's fruits there's little use worrying
over it's roots.
It's no use preaching against the
sins of people in way that provokes
them to profanity.
There never was a church that went
down except it had first failed to get
down and serve men,
It is better occasionally to do fool
ish act of charity than to commit the
folly Of an uncharitable life.
When a man gets excited over his
ignorance he is likely to think he is
enthusiastic for some truth.
A good many in religion are like peo-
pie who feel that they own an auto
mobile when they have bought horn.
There's no certainty that the man
who knows all about the schedule to
heaven will get there either on time or
any time.

Care of Horses.

For horses that are being worked
hard ground grain is better than whole
grain, but we believe that when con-
centrated feed is fed it should have
some light feed mixed with it to act
as a divider-bran, cut hay, or even
clean oat chaff moistened will assist in
digestion. If dusty hay is fed sprinkle
with water and it will save the horse
much annoyance The necessity of a
change of diet from concentrated grain
food to more bulky food is increased ac-
cording to the amount of confinement to
which the horse must be subjected.

The Ideal Ear of Corn.


Authorities have decided that the best
form for an ideal ear should be as
near a cylinder as possible. It should
De about 10 inches long and about Z
inches in circumference, or at least this
ratio should be maintained The rows
OF grains should be as near parallel as
possible and the grains should grow
well over the tip and butt The grains
should be wedge shape and their length
should be at least twice their width.
The cob should be small, from 81 to 30
per cent of an ear of corn should be
grain. In yellow corn the cob should
be red and in white corn it should be
white. If one desires his corn to have
high protein content, the germ or
heart should be large. If meal is to
be made, the white or starchy end
should be firm, solid and heavy. The
grains of the dent varieties will be
more or less wrinkled on the outer tip,
otherwise the surface Of the ear should
be smooth and glossy. A dead color
usually indicates low vitality.-S. W.

DoNT's FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't leave your thinking to be done
on your deathbed.
Don't consider yourself faultless, lest
you become forceless.
Don't forget that to be in grace you
can be under bonds, yet not in bond
age.
Don't overlook the fact that the
nobler the man the more dependent he
is on human companionship and love.
Don't forget that to-day's duty is
lighter than to-morrow's shadow.
Don't expose your lack of power with
men by great impertinence with chill
dren.
Don't follow the footsteps Of men
who think they are righting wrongs
when they are only revenging them.
Don't forget that it is better to over
estimate your own worth than to waste
all you have while enyying that OF
others.

and the moment it did these things
trouble began.
To-day it has largely grown to be a
church Of class again. The plain peo-
ple the laboring people, find them
selves at fancied odds, if not with its
teaching and preaching at least with
its practice. They are not irreligious,
the people; they are anxious and visit
full for something which will spiritual
~ uplift. They want amelioration of
those conditions which everybody de-
plores. They do not find the church
its great work. 1t seems to them to
be church of the world to-day, a
church of the so-called higher and
more leisurely sections Of society. They
do not feel that the great substratum
of humanity upon which the founda-
lions of the world are laid has any
right or place in the church.
Those who are high in the councils
Of the church must be made to real
ize these great facts, that the saliva
the religious life of the nation, and
therefore of the nation itself, for I
cannot conceive of any separation be-
tween them, and that this salvation de-
ponds upon going back to the people
with the simplicity and sincerity Of a
gospel of self-sacrifice which Jesus
both preached and lived, so that men
may comprehend that this religious or
ganization is the one body in which
the rich and the poor, the high and
the low, the weak and the strong, meet
together, for the Lord is alike the
maker of them all. The church will
find it's saints again among the shoe
makers of society, rather than draw
them from the dominant Croesuses of
to-day.
At a banquet in Chicago the other
night l observed far above the heads
Of the guests a sparrow which had
somehow wandered into the room.
During three hours, from time to time,
1 watched that indomitable bird beat
itself upon the ceiling to seek an exit
to the upper air. I could not but adj
mire the unwearying persistency with
which it stroye to escape to freedom
but it's efforts were futile. 1t was nee
essary to come very low, close to the
frightening mass of humanity, with it's
babble and clamor, to go through the
doorway or the window which would
give access to the high heavens and the
bright stars.
The church must go back to the hum
BILE people Of this land if she is again
to lead the nation to the high heavens
and the bright stars and what lies be-
yond. She must humble herself in or
der that she may be greatly exalted.

An UncrushabIe Toad.

An experiment was recently made in
the clay testing department of a ma
chinery company at Bucyrus, O., in
which toad was placed in a twenty-ton
brick press and was four times SUBJ
jected to a pressure of 1000 pounds
without injury. The question at issue
was whether such pressure would kill
the toad or whether its ability to COM
press itself was sufficient to allow it to
come out of the ordeal alive. The toad
was first placed in lump of granulous
clay and the whole pressed into brick.
After the huge press had done it's work
the solid brick was lifted from the ma
chine and the toad winked its eyes con-
tentedly. stretched its legs and hoped
away.-Popular Mechanics.

Pumpkins for Cows.

Dairymen hold different opinions as
to the value of pumpkins for cows and
as rule the great field fruit of the
East is not very much grown in the ir-
rgated regions. Some claim that they
are a positive injury. It is certain,
however that if fed to COWS at all they
should be given in conjunction with
concentrated feed and necessarily in
limited quantities. When fed thus the
pumpkin is valuable as a fall feed for
cows. 1t has one distinguishing feature
as a stock food, which nothing else pos

Remedy for Field Mice.

The Pasteur Institute of Paris has
again done valuable service to the
community in devising remedy for the
field mice. which in the Charentes have
multiplied at a terrific rate and done
enormous harm. The Danysz virus, as
II is called, If properly distributed, kills
9s per cent of the mice in two weeks.
IT causes a contagious disease resem-
bling typhoid, which is innocuous to all
living beings except mice and rats.

A Plan That Should

A training movement which merits the
support alike of those who desire the
services of domestic helpers of a kind
now difficult to secure, and those also
who are interested in securing remuner-
alive employment for the thousands of
girls who find self-support a difficult
matter. is that initiated by the Women S
Trade league, and which has now been
taken over by the other philanthropists.
One part of the plan which is being
successfully operated is to train girls to
be members and cleaners-to perform. in
short. efficiently all the services of a
proficient valet or maid. These young
sewing and cleaning women can be Sc
cured at very moderate rates, 40 cents
being charged for the first hours and
80 cents for subsequent hours. Or the

being furnished by the employer. The
worker is thoroughly trained before she
is assigned to a patron. so that her work
will be thoroughly skilled, and women's

expenditure of time on the part of their
owners that is usual when the amateur
sewing woman is employed. Profession
al women especially will find the service
invaluable. AS the scheme is run on the
