longer as it doubtless will be, will put
the windbreak in condition to take care
of itself and develop into very val
liable and beautiful farm Improvement

Last fall a farmer living near Ran
dali in township adjoining this, con-
cluded to try something new in the
way of farming. He sowed five acres
of ground on which green corn was
then standing, to fall wheat, scattering
the seed by hand as he rode back and
forth thru the field on horseback. Then
he hitched the horse to garden ploW
and covered the grain. He sowed his
wheat too thick, as 1t afterward de-
veloped, but this year he harvested a
crop that made about thirty bushels
per acre, and several men in the vicin-
ity are putting in few acres on
somewhat similar plan. They use
one-h horse drill, however, that sows
five rows between each corn row, and
the small shovels attached cover the
seed as sown. Where the ground is
not too weedy, the machine does good
work One man objecting to being fire.
quently struck by the big ears of green
corn as he passed along, fastened two
strips of narrow board to the sides
of the handles joining them in front
and extending them past the handles
so that they opened a clear passageway
for him to walk All that will be done
until harvest time next year in these
fields will be to break the stalks next
winter, and the experiment will be
watched with interest by the farmers
Of this community.
"A large barn recently erected by
Carl Sparboe, one of the heavyweight

something more than 100 tons of hay
and for the cattle four box stalls.
twenty-four open stalls and space for

 The beautifu1 story of the birth and childhood of Jesus, should be told to every child, but it should in no wise be separated from the narrative of the great and glorious later life of that same child Jesus.

He was the only child ever born into this world who had His choice as to how He should come. He might have come, as did Adam,a full-grown man: He chose to come helpless babe. He might have come in all the pomp and pageantry of earthly kings; He chose to come in lowly poverty.
 His cradle teaches us also wherein consists true greatness. When He lay in that cradle mighty Caesar was on the throne. Where now are Caesar and his thronef At Caesars name nations trembled; but that name, and throne, and power have perished.

Then rise to have peace in your heart, in your home, and in the social circles Tn which you move.

Thus the doxology may well fill heav- en s loftiest dome with Glory to God in the highest"
 The dominant thought of the angelic host is that peace will come to men. The presence of God embodied in hu- man flesh was designed to produce peace between men and their fellow men; between the opposing elements in mems own hearts and between men and God. Christ is the Prince of Peace. God was now in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. When men are at Peace with God they will be at peace with one another.
 Long delayed is the fulillment of the prophecy that swords shall become plowshares and spears pruning hooks. But the day will surely come when this blessed result shall be secured. The day will come when international ar bitration will settle international diff faculties. America has the honor of leading the nations in this blessed mis. sion of peace and goodwill toward all men. Presidents Mckinley and Roose- welt have done more to secure this re- suit than was done by all the preced- ing presidents of the United States. The late Secretary Hay beautifully blended American patriotism with the teaching of the Golden Rule.
 We need still higher standards of diplomacy, patriotism, heroism and re- ligion. We are pressing toward the re. alization of these higher standards. n- ready the eastern sky is radiant w'.b the crimson and gold of at least one element of milennial blessing-the pres ervation of peace, the abolition of war and the universality of arbitration.

Christ's Birthday From the Pulpit

"'Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward all men,

 Jesus Christ is the Sun of Righteous ness. Noble hearts and longing souls who waited for the Consolation of israeli, greeted His advent with songs
 of joy. The very air was tremulous with song when Christ was born. These devout souls were waiting for the Sun of Righteousness, who was rising with healing in His wings.
 Amid the many voices that greeted the advent of Christ were songs of ee- lestial ehoirs. My text gives us the substance of the wonderful anthem which the angels sang. Heaven and earth seemed to join hands and to touch hearts on that glorious occasion. It seemed as if the heavens were filed with attendant angels who awaited only the signal to burst forth ir heaven. ly music. In the olden time when sacrifice was laid on the altar, the blast of trumpets sounded clear and strong; SO when Christ came, the true Sacrifice, the heavenly blast chanted again the blessed message of the first herald an gel. This anthem in its heavenward as- bect was "glory," and in its earthward aspect, "peaee.'
 Nothing could be more fitting than that the angels who stood around the throne of God should follow Christ to

tain. tree, flower, rock, in fact in every thing, animate and inaninate.
 Then 4oo,- by people who readily ad- init that God walked in the garden and talked with man and woman, that he met the shepherd Moses in the burning bush and talked with him. That God rested between the Cherubims and met the High Priest in the Holy of Holies. That God met Moses in the mountains and gave him the law,
 That he appeared in clouds and flames or even not being in any of these things at times appeared in still, small voice.
 Accepting any of these statements do We not place limitations which are un- warranted when we say that God could not incarnate Himself or His Spirit in the bodily form of "a little babe and re main there, yelling his glory till that body attained the strength and stature of full manhood.
 Shall we say that suffering and sor, row, or joy and gladness are not pos sible to the divine mind, and if so why not as well when established for a time in human body as when established on throne in Glory.

earth when He came on His errand of mercy. We may well believe that an gels from sinless heaven never per. formed more welcome service than when they made the plains of Bethle- hem eche with their songs of joy when the Christ was born. Angels are repre- sented to us as bending reverently for ward as if listening intently to the mys- teries of God concerning the coming of Christ. Possessed by holy curiosity, they are trying to discover the secrets of human redemption. It was fitting, therefore, that these lofty intelligences, at the supreme moment of God 's sub. finest disclosure of eternal love, should break forth into matehess music over the cradle of the infant Redeemer; that their song should be an anthem radiant with glory to God and peace toward. men.
 The birth of Christ ushered in a new era in human history; it was really the birth of new race. The incarnation Is the basal fact in Christianity. The evangelist John distinctly aflirms that the Word was God, and also that the Word became flesh. The incarnation of Christ was the entrance of Deity in. to humanity in fuller and diviner sense than ever before. The real mean ing of the incarnation is the spiritual entrance of God into humanity by a supernatural birth. To deny the sup. ernatural birth is to deny the real sig nifieance of the incarnation itself.
 God made himself known in creation, in providence and in revelation; but the incarnation was the sublimest man. Hesitation of God the world has ever known. God s revelation of himself is evermore progressive; he reveals him. self as men are able to understand, and l even to endure the revelation. The glory of God that some about the shep-
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1908-12-20

was not consumed; it went before Is- rael in a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night; it flooded the temple of Solomon with an uncomfortable bright ness; it was the radiant cloud which en- folded the ascending Lord, and it will be the canopy over the great white throne on which He will sit to judge the world. Well might this elIulgent brightness appear at the incarnation, for Christ is the true pillar of cloud to guide His Church through the world to her triumph and glory in heaven.
 The incarnation of Deity was simply hinted, at in many heathen legends. Heathenism was feeling after God if haply it might find him. Philosophy was seeking after Deity, but in its loftiest reach it only built an altar to "the unknown God" The human mind must have God in human form. God as the unereated and the invisible, and not al- so as the incarnate, must remain incom- prehensible except to few devout wor- shipers. But Deity incarnate, enheshed,

 It ought to be remembered that this angelic doxology, "Glory to God in the highest" is not prayer, but an as. cription of praise. The angels did not pray "Glory be to God" There is a blessed connection between the three stanzas of this divine anthem. There is a close relation between peace on earth, goodwill to men on the one side and the highest glory to God on the other side. The angels are declaring that the rebellious race of man is to be subdued; that this beliggerent world is not forever to uaunt its flag of de- fiance against heaven $ King. We have here sweet implication that lost man shall be redeemed, and that Satan shall be destroyed by the personal Christ

manity men can understand, admire
 trust and adore The incarnation of Deity is thus an absolute necessity of our poor human nature. To worship God as Father and Christ as Brother, we must see the divine in human form. The greatest of all marves is that Christ should come from the bosom of the Father to the cradle in Bethlehem.
 The incarnation is the sub.imest rev elation of eternal love. In his marvel ous description of the mind of Christ in the second chapter of Philippians, the Apostle aul represents Christ as not grasping and holding his conscious equality with God, but as emptying him self and taking the form of servant. This was the first great step in the downward plunge. After the incarna- tion Gethsemane with it's cup and Cal

At Christmas time our hearts and minds should turn to the greatest event since the greatest of all creative acts, namely the creation of man, the only free moral being in heaven or in earth, the only being created with the power of free moral choice, the only being in whom there exists the power of eter- nal development, and the only one who will be accounted above the angels in heaven, for we read once that, He shall be little lower than the angels and again little lower than God.
 This high privilege and possibility is made possible by one great fact, Elm. manuel, God with us.
 That is, the creation of man is never completed until man brings his nature into submission to the divine nature that man may realize the redemptive

 We love the Holy Child and we give the childhood of Jesus large place in our own Christmas cheer. But more than this we celebrate the memory of events and enjoy the continued presence of Him whom We undertake to honor. The events which show us His nature and character and lead us in humilia- tion to exercise our every power of will, of devotion, of love, to reach the highest life and character possible to human nature are dear indeed to every Christian.
 What shall we say then that we do celebrate. The Incarnationl Yes. The pure child lifes Yes. The Man of Mercy and Loves Yes. The birth of the true Brother of all mankinds Yes. But above all things else the life and uower of Him who is the Savior of the world and who by His coming and go ing revealed to the world the way of eternal life. ', And more than this; that as He dwelt once in human form, He lives today with the Father, accepts our worship. sympathises with our humanity, and by invitation will always be near us. Yes, will abide in our hearts.
 He should be the head of every house this blessed Christmas season.
