Review of the Second Quarter of the
Year--Golden Text, John 20;3t
The Purpose of Johns Gospel
Explained.
Golden Text. - But these things
are written that We might believe that
Jesus is the Christ the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life
through His name" John 20.31.
The purpose of Johns Gospel is
given in the Golden Text. The best
review of the lessons of the quarter
will be to go through the lessons one
by one and find out how this great
truth is illustrated in each lesson.
In Lesson I. the deity of Christ
comes out in His claiming to be the
door, through whom alone any man
can enter into the kingdom, and in
His claiming to be the Good Shep-
herd the relation that in the Old Tes-
lament Jehovah claimed.
In Lesson II. the deity of Christ
comes out in His demonstrating His
power to raise the dead by His simple
word.
In Lesson III. the deity of Christ
comes out again in His being the One
who raised Lazarus from the dead.
In Lesson ". the deity of Christ
comes out in the assertion of His pre-
existence with the Father, and in His
Fathers having given all things into
His hands, and in His knowledge of
what was going on in the hearts of
men, and in His assertion that He
was Master and Lord.
In Lesson V. the deity of Christ
comes out in His commanding men to
believe in Him just as they believed
in God, and in His assertion that he
that hath seen Me hath seen the
Father.
In Lesson VI. the deity of Christ
comes out in the assertion of His pre-
existence, and in His assertion that
all things that the Father hath are
Mine"
In Lesson VII. the deity of Christ
comes out in His very presence, over
powering His enemies.
In Lesson VIII. the deity of Christ
comes out in His fulfilling in detail
so many of the Old Testament pro.
phecies regarding the Christ.
In Lesson TX. the deity of Christ
comes out in His resurrection, the
Fathers seal of Jesus claim to deity
In Lesson X. the deity of Christ
comes out again in The certainty Of
His resurrection and in His accepting
to Himself ascription of deity when
Thomas called Him, MY Lord and
my God"
In Lesson X. the deity of Christ
comes out again in His resurrection
fully attested.

Work of Large and Small Cows.

Small cows consume relatively
more feed and produce more dairy
products than large ones. The Jer-
seys, per one thousand pounds live
weight, consumed daily during the
St. Louis dairy demonstration on an
average seventeen per cent. more
nutriment than the Holsteins, twen-
ty per cent. more than the Swiss and
over fifty per cent. more than the
5horthorns; but they returned forty
three per cent. more butter fat than
the Holsteins, seventy per cent. more
than the Swiss and 100 per cent.
more than the Shorthorns.-A

THE WARFARE AGAINST DRINK

Voting Out the Snloon---Crusaders
Who Formerly Despaired Are
Now Joyfully Hearing of One
Victorv After AuofI,er.

Victory After Another.
It seems only few years ago when
the outlook for the triumph OF tenn
perance appeared discouraging, and
even those who knew most about the
movement and we're working hardest
for the suppression of the liquor
traffic would say that It would prob
ably be a generation or two before
great gains could be counted.
To-day these same workers are
watching with pleased astonishment
one victory after another over the
saloon. It is like a great SNOWFALL
that has started at the top of noun
tain. At first It had to be formed and
pushed along, but gradually It gath
cred more snow unto itself, and then,
of its own weight, rushed onward,
growing in size with every foot 1t
covered.
SO II is with the temperance move
ment. 1t is gathering momentum and
drawing to itself all of the respecta-
BILE elements in many communities,
and is sweeping everything before it.
1t differs, however, from the snow
ball in this respect: 1t does not melt
away, no matter how fierce the heat
Of the attack made upon It. 1t is here
to stay, and here to win. The liquor
traffic is being beaten in all parts of
the country. II has received its DEATH
blow in the South, and knows It,
though it is making futile efforts to
appear alive in a few places. The
Christian people in those districts
may be depended upon to finish its
existence, and its menace to manhood
and to the homes of helpless women.
A short time ago there was chron-
icled upon this page the vigorous
campaign in Canada and the stories of
the temperance battles that were won.
Hardly has the liquor traffic had a
chance to think twice about how 1t
could change its tactics and save it.

There local option was voted upon
in 1850 of the 1895 townships of the
State. The temperance forces made
gains in all of the country districts
with, perhaps, three exceptions.
Some of the larger places voted for

greatly reduced.

Soil Fertility.

Don't let the truth escape from
your observation, that soil fertility
is before production. Therefore,
guard jealously the elements which
secure the harvests. There is a say
ing in Indiana: Drive your grain to

stock and drive the stock to market.
There is no better way to maintain
soil fertility, for 1t secures the en-

practised systematically and intelli-
gently, guarantees the same result,
but It Is not believed to be as pro-
ductive. There are farmers whose

means to maintain the fertility OF
their soil than by feeding all farm

Texas Decision nits saloons.

Judge Pollard, Attorney-General of
Texas, has recently made a startling
decision for the liquor men in that
State. In answering a question re-
garding the new Baskin-McGrego
Law, Judge Pollard declares that the
law will require that a saloon man
must have resided in a county at
least two years before he can take
out a saloon license. Since the
wave of local option spread over
North Texas the saloon men have
emigrated to other counties and
started anew in the business. In hun
dreds of cases, therefore, they will
not have been residing in their pres
ent locations for the requisite two
years, and, according to Judge Pol
lard, their licenses are invalid unless
secured in accordance with this clause
of the new statute.

sobriety in Great Britain.

The decline in consumption of al
coholic beverages in Great Britain,
to which we have occasionally called
attention in recent years, steadily
continues, and has now reached a
point at which it seems judicious to
regard 1t as decidedly significant
movement which promises permanent
results. There are, OF course, in the
records of all nations variations and
fluctuations from year to year In such
matters. But when either an in
crease or decline continues per-
sistently year after year for consid-
cradle period, and is not reasonably
attributable to any merely transient
causes, 1t becomes worthy of serious
attention.-NewY York Tribune.

Glover VS.. Timothy For steers.

In very carefully and sensibly con-
Quoted experiments with yearllng cat

found that by substituting clover for
timothy the efficiency of the ration
was practically doubled. That is, a
ton with clover hay produced essen
TALLY double the number of pounds
of gain that were produced ON similar
steers with the same amount of corn
and good timothy hay. What was
found to be true of clover apples al

They were found to have an unpleas-

of soda and the white had become
pink in color and very liquid. Eggs

A luke-Warm Romance.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Lovers of romance are not satisfied
with the way this match between Miss
Elkins and the duke of the Abruzzi has
been going ., The impetuousness which
should characterize the attitude of the
duke toward such a nice lady as Miss
Elkins seems to be, is, if anything, luke
warm.
His people and the other crowned heads
of the continent regard him as a father
would regard Maynard son who had
brought home Hottentot or a Chinese
bride. The ladies of the court gossip
about the inamorata, and wonder how she
will behave herself.
Yet the prospective bridegroom neither
offers to partake no more of food and
drink until his hearts desire Is granted,
nor contriye any more spectacular means
of vengeance.
His cablegrams to the fair one in Amer
lea have been business-like and to the
noint. The duke thinks that she ought
to have a dowry of 81, 100000. The money,
he believes, will turn the tide In her ball

and the kings "bless you, my daughter,
will be granted.
