GAINS FOR CHURCH

Scientific Thought Has

In Grace NJ. Il. Church yesterday
morning. the Rcv. Or. II. w. Kellogg
preached the first OF series of SER
mons on the subject. "vhat Have We
Gained Through the Effect Of Recent
Scientific Thought on Religious Faith"
The text was from the word Of the
Prophet Isaiah. Enlarge Thy Tents o
Israel" DIR. kellogg said that Gods
prophets were always crying for en-

present conditions and the fear Of risk
in vonturlng into new and better ways
than with any other trait OF his
complex nature. Man wants TO re-
main stationary. God is ever march
ing on.
Continuing. Dr. Kollogg said: "The
church has been passing through the
severcst test OF its history. Tho
causes are not immediate. but began
centuries ago IN the revival OF learn

"The critical spirit IL the source,

"There are some who are not aware
Of the conflict. Like the tribes OF th'
interior regions OF the Philippin
Islands. who years after the chang
OF government were not aware OF an
change. others deny and resist a
change Orten the church has bee
found IN this attitude.
zone class is asking what have w
lost. That we have lost many things
and even what we once held as i'm
portant to faith cannot reasonably be
doubted. except by the extreme bigot
We have lost reverence for many
! things. We have lost many noble
men. The field is covered with the
fallen. But / am not here to-day TO
make an estimate OF losses. Some are
asking what have we left?
'1n the coming few weeks / am to
show YOU from evidence that we have
made a positive gain in many ways.
1--WE have a stronger faith as the
result of all this war. A few things
/ may mention. First. We have
gained a better attitude toward truth.
We have lost most superstition and
gained in thought. We desire real
things ard are ready at any cost to
secure them. We are determined to
have the facts This explains the
present contention and agitation over
the DR. Cook and Peary pretenses. The
people want to know the simple truth.
That is all.
Second. We have gained discriminate

With the powers OF perception multi
I piled a thousand fold we penetrate 10
the depths OF all realms for facts. we
can see more clearly than did former
generations.
Third. We have gained in toler-
ance. This is an immense gain. This
Is the result Of confidence I'm relig-
ious fundamental truth and the large
ness Of H.
Fourth And perhaps the greatest
gain OF all is we are simplifying
truth We are casting aside much
accumulated traditional rubbish that
we have often thought essential, and
have, like the Pharasees. exalted 10 a
I place with the real and essential. and
we are unburdening faith The re-
suit is we are fastening more tightly
! to the essential things such as make

TOO Many Poor Apples.

Farmers were sorely disappointed
n the sale of their apples during the
past winter and spring. The rosy out
look for prices last October did not
materialize, and many of our farmers
fed out barrels of apples to their
stock through the winter, the greater
portion of which would have sold in
ordinary years.
Is it possible that the apple busi-
ness is being overdone? Apples were
in abundance here far more than it
was thought to be at harvesting. We
know that panicky times have caused
an untold amount of trouble in the
prices of farm products, but it is not
probable that the multiplication of
orchards all over the country will
have a disastrous effect on the apple
business in the near future If not i'm
mediately. What say you, brother
farmers, to that? Is there any dan
ger ahead? The general outlook for
business is rather gloomy for the COM
ing season. Nearly all the mills and
factories are running on short time,
and some of them are running only
two or three days a week, while many
men and women are out of employ
ment. Let us hope for better condi-
tion Of things soon, and may a tide of
prosperity return that shall compen-

he has suffered.-S, in the American

more pains with them, so these aerial
roosting places can be dispensed with,
substitute being readily found in
the new popular roostlng benches,

outlay Of time, labor and money, and
are movable, permitting the fancier
TO move them wherever necessary.
These benches can be made from
twelve to sixteen inches high and of
two by one inch stats. There is no
regular length for these benches,
from five to six feet being a very con-
venient size, though if the compart-
ment be not too wide they can be
made to conform to the width of the

The efficiency of tobacco in eradi-
eating the internal parasite, and thus
contributing greatly to the general
health of the animals that consume
it, is attracting wide attention among
sheep raisers. Effectual in treating
all internal organisms, it has proven
especially desirable in eradicating the
deadly bowel nodule. which is a fire.
quent source of trouble. These being
destroyed many of the ills usually at
tributed to other causes disappear.
1t matters little what variety of to-
bacco is used for the purpose. 1t has
been reported, however, that a cer-
tain variety has proven fatal to the
animals which consumed it. AS men,
toned below it is probable that this
disastrous effect was from a matter
of quantity and not quality. Those
wanting tobacco may procure either
the whole leaf just as it comes from
the grower or the stems or ribs of the
cured leaf after the intervening tissue
has been removed for other purposes.
The former is preferable, as it con.
Idlllo lluCH less uDtT tUdu lle Stems
alone, and it also possesses the de-
sired medicinal qualities in a more
concentrated form. The stems, how.
ever, IL finely ground should be eff.
fectual.
1t should be remembered that in
all instances tobacco must be pulver.
lied and given in connection with
salt, as sheep would not otherwise
take 1t. Begin with one-fourth to.
bacco, by measure, and If necessary
add more salt until the animals are
induced to eat the mixture. Keep ac-
cessible at all times, giving no other
salt. Sheep will practically refuse to
eat 1t at first, but in time they will
learn to like it. The writer, who
lives in a tobacco section, has known
instances in which sheep and even
cattle have learned to devour tobacco
ravenously, and II permitted to have
1t eat 1t in such quantities as to prove
fatal. II fed in connection with salt
as above suggested no such injuriou.

How to Be Encouraged,

David encouraged himself in the
Lord"--Sam. 3O:6.
These words concerning him reveal
to us the secret of his Joy and sue
cess. Like Abraham, he believed in
God. Trusting people are a happy
people. They are contented and sat
lsfied whatever their lot may be.
They encourage themselves in the
Lord and therefore have a continual
feast. Their joy does not depend
upon what people think or say about
them, neither do they depend upon
friends for comfort and encourage
ment, but they lean hard upon God
and stand upon the promises.
Those who encourage themselves
In the Lord are great blessing and
stimulant to others in many ways,
but they carry sunshine with them
wherever they g.. Such people will
always be needed. They never need
% seek place OF position, bat places.
positions and people, both friends and
enemies, will seek them. They have
no troubles and sorrows to burden
other people with, but they become
real bur1en-bearers for others, and
like Paul are able to comfort them
that are in any trouble by the com
fort wherewith they are comforted
Of God.
Friend, II you have not YET learned
to encourage yourself in the Lord
begin to-day and the result will be
glorious. (Read Phil. 4:4-7.)-G.

Yields of Alfalfa.

IN a bulletin Of the Ohio station
the results with alfalfa at the station
and the experience of alfalfa growers
throue ehout the State are reviewed.
It was found that upland clay and
sandy first and second bottom lands
have produced the lowest yields.
Good yields and poor yields have been
produced on all classes OF soils. in
Guiding muck. 1t was observed that
the presence or absence of drainage,
humus, limestone and incubation,
and the degree Of perfection of the
seed bed, were usually the con-
trolling factors in the growth of
the crop. The yields on clay
upland with natural surface drain
age were twelve per cent. great
er where tiles were also used. Sandy
soil or soil with a very poor subsoll is
considered as usually not sufficiently
retentive of moisture to insure cer-
tain results on upland. The soils
which heaved the alfalfa were either
poor in drainage or in humus, or in
both combined. The average yields
from SOILS rlcn, lalfIy rlcn ana poor
in humus were respectively 4.25, 3.75
and 3.33 tons per acre. At the sta.
ton an alfalfa plat receiving eight
tons of manure per acre gave a yield
of 1925 pounds, or 1347 pounds
per acre more than unfertilized plats
The use of lime on acid soils is rec.
commended, and it is pointed out that
fields on hillsides and upland usually
become acid before those on bottoms.
incubation with soil was found much
better than incubation with liquid
cultures. 1t is stated that alfalfa
may be seeded at any time after
spring frosts are over until the middle
of August, provided the seed bed is
in proper condition. - Weekly Wit

Gnnl Place For Crnnilnrrins.

Why do not more people raise cram
berries when the demand for them Is
ever increasing, and they are such an
easy thing to raise? Here in this
section are some of the best locations
for cranberry bogs to be found in
New England, and yet very few both
er with them at all; most of them are
natural wild bogs. and some years
are covered with berries. / have in
mind a bog only a few miles from
here that used to produce more than
100 barrels of berries a year and I
do not think there was ever dollar
laid out on it. But the present own
ers have let IL grow up to brush until
they only get enough berries for their
own use. Cranberry growing could
be made a profitable industry in this
section if we only had the men that
understood the business to develop It,
Some who have small bogs, and
have cultivated them. have raised
enormous yields, and after they are
once started they will bear for many
years with very little trouble. There
IS a wild bog here OF about twenty
acres that could be flooded at small
expense, has q stream running
through It, and plenty of sand right
on the grounds II is covered with
small brush grass and wild cranber-
ries, and no doubt if some one had
this bog that understood the business
he could make fortune from It. An
other swamp a few miles away has
several square miles of the same kind
OF land, but wOuld need to be drained
which would require capital. 1t has
plenty Of water, and an inexhaustible
supply OF sand. 1t seems q pity to see
such valuable land go TO waste, doing
no good. when 1t might be made to
bring In an enormous income and give
employment TO many poor people. -

have been great civilizations of old,
In Nineveh and Babylon and Rome
and Greece. Sennacherib was no
puny, petty sovereign. Rome gov
erned and administered the world,
but the care of man for ma" and self
sacrifice for a brother were never
taught as the duty of man until Jesus
came. believe these things concern
the men of the church.
l have ventured, with some bold
ness no doubt, to invite the attention
of an assembly of lay churchmen to
what I believe to be most serious
danger. Neve-. believe me, will the
selfishness of men be moved to altru-
ism, and what the Gospel calls the
love of our brother. IL you break
down the church that carries the
Gospel, the teaching of Gods love to
man; and your duty in this regard
Is very simple. But II you will per-
form It, 1t is potent for good. You
have church clubs. You have been
organized for some special service or
other, but you are church organiza-
tion. Never forget that nothing that
you can do in this world that en-
feebles the Church of God, or OBJ.
scures the truth of the Gospel, will
count for man for long, nor between
you and God for much. Your duty Is
to maintain the Church of Christ, to
reverence her Sabbaths conscientious
ly as in the fear of God, not for your
own pleasure dlsregarding the great
commandment. Your dutv is -ever-
emily to feed upon the Word of Life,
and never to forsake the assembling
OF yourselves together, as the manner
of many Is. AS for your duty toward
the State, 1t is equally simple and
briefly to be stated: "If any man
will do My will, he shall know" and
If any man will seek to know Gods
Will. he will be sufficiently instructed
In the truth as 1t is in Jesus. When
the largest of all our lay organiza-
tions for men (St. Andrews Society
was initiated, always the Bible class
was thought to be a natural and in
separable adjunct. l know not how
IL Is now, but l am certain that the
study of the Word of God Is the very
best foundation of the faith. do
not care for biographies and archael-
ogies, but bring your common sense
to bear on the Holy Scripture, and
ask what 1t has to say to you for your
own life; how you can follow out the
teaching of the blessed work; what is
Its application to the problems of
the day; what comfort 1t has for your
sorrows; what hope for your reward.
Believe me, no man who reads and
prays over and tries to live the Word
Of God is in any danger of forgetting
his faith.

UnhesitatiDg Obedience.

Peter was the man of impulse, the
man of action, with a swift-beating
heart and an every-ready hand. To
his forward-stepping mind, decision
was easy and immediate; and so, al
most before the command was COM
pleted, his swift lips had made an
swer; II will let down the nets"
1t was the language Of prompt and
full obedience. 1t showed that his
nature was responsive and genuine.
ne had learned to obey, the first les
son of discipleship; and having
learned to obey. he was therefore fit
to rule, qualified for leadership, and
worthy of being intrusted with the
keys of the kingdom.
And how much is missed in life
through feebleness of resolve, a lack
of resolve! How many are the in
vertebrate souls, lacking in will and
void of purpose, who, instead of sur

medusae can only drift, all limp and
languid, in the current Of c;rcum.

Kerosene For Lice.

Here Is the way II. b. Geer, a noted
poultry authority, uses kerosene to
kill lice or TO keep them from little
chicks: First, before setting a hen.
we clean out the nest box, and sprin-
kle the bottoms and sides of 1t inside
with Kerosene oil. Then we put in
fresh straw and the eggs. and so set
the hen. But we put no kerosene on
the straw about the eggs and none on
the hen.
"When the chickens are first
hatched we take the coop and sprin-
kle It with kerosene Just as we did
the nest box. Then we put some dry
dust in the bottom OF 1t. We take
the hen and rub her shanks with a
soft rag saturated with the kerosene
oil. We also rub her feathers under
the neck-hackle. about the roots OF
the tail. and Just a little bit lightly
underpeatl the wings, with the rag
flIed with the odor of the oil, but not
heavily saturated or dripping. We
put no kerosene and no lard or oil OF
any kind directly on the little chick
ems. In fact we have never creased
or oiled the heads OF dozen young
chickens in all the days OF our life.
