GOOD GROUNDS FOR OPTIMISM

but there is nothing radically wrong.
Nothing is worn out in the American
machine. 1t is comparatively new.
This country abounds with natural re-
sources that are only partially devel-
oped. The ground has scarcely been
scratched in some of the mineral re-
gions, and little of the vast agricul-
tural area has reached the point
where any fertilization is necessary be-
yond scientific alteration of crops.
It can easily compete in production
of grain with older nations where
crops can only be raised by the use
of expensive chemical fertilizers.
The outside world is dependent upon
100000 bales of cotton that assures
an income of about 100000, 600 an
nually for this single product. 1t is
oily another evidence of the nation g

ty will be remedled as the subject of
finance receives more attention.
Even now there is a safety about the
quality of our money that is far better

The disciples came to Jesus with
the question: "Who is the greatest
in the kingdom of Heaven" We
have the Masters reply in our text.
I want to speak to you tonight on the
subject: The kingdom of Heaven and
how to enter it into it.
The first thing that we have to do
is to understand what is meant by the
phrase-The Kingdom of Heaven.
Maybe 1 can throw some light ON it
by saying something about THE
KINGDOM OF MUSIC. It is a very
proper and Ineligible phrase. What
is the Kingdom of Music? I attend
ed the Buffalo Exposition in 1902.
I went into the Temple of Music. I
listened to Innes,' Band. It was mar.
velous. A food of music filed the
temple. Flute, harp. violin. cornet.
cymbals. drums, trombone, bass
viol, brass instruments and stringed
instruments; sounds-shrill, deep
toned. dulcet. laundering, baritone,
tenor. bass-all blended and poured
forth a sea of music. l was in the
Kingdom of Music.

SPIRIT OF MUSIC presides and rules.
What is the Kingdom of Heaven?

He was profane man. He was

The future farmer will subirrigate
his land, and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become a scientific for
ester, and every farm will produce
wood and lumber as well as wheat and
apples. A single acre will produce
what ten acres yield now. Women will
work out doors as heartily as men; in
fact, they will be the horticulturists and
the truck gardeners. There will be
closer relation between the producer
and consumer, ignoring horde of mid
dlemen who frequently waste more than
is destroyed by ignorant help and in
sect foes combined. Under the al
lance with the school the farm will
be valued not only for it's gross weight
of products, but for it's poems and its
education. AS our schools become
places for applying as well as acquiring
knowledge, our farm homes will become
integral parts of the garden school and
the school farm. The alliance between
the home and the school will become
very close. A valley full Of farms is al
ready the nearest to paradise that we
have but the future will tenfold Its
wealth and hundredfold its delights.

The Farm and Farmers.

Tn diversified farming it is essential
that we give due attention to the claims
of each branch that is being followed
and seek to harmonic them all. We
must select only those branches which
will fit nicely into our scheme of farm

waste.

# ia little wonder that American farm
ers are often called soil SINNERS.
They make more money as rule
than the farmer who puts his money
info improvements, for they have more
cash to speculate with. But which men

Sisera was against the stars.
The principles of morality have the1
roots in the foundation OF the universe
and he who does evil is at war with the
which undergrad society are not mere
rules made by man or voted by governs

great universal life. Sisera was
against the hosts of God, and he who
is against God finds Gods world against
him. The stars fought against Sisera
as the best instincts.
Truth is the power that holds tho
world in magetic unity, and the man
who is true and righteous altogether is
in harmony with the force that lifts

and finds about him a world in which
many forces are fighting for him.
