the hunger for Righteousness, and the
visions Of high living that rise with
in?
Whence arise our aspirations for
self-mastery? Whence the passions fCA'
purer living that have moved great
souls in all ages, whence our willing
ness to forego pleasure, to embrace
pain, to sacrifice, to toll for no reward
to ourselves, only for some ideal good,
some benefit to others? Is there not
within the basest even some spirit of
the good and the divine?
1t is no use talking about having
faith in God unless we have confidence
IN goodness in man. There are too
many who believe that all goodness
dwells only in some other world, far
above the fogs and storms Of this sin
blighted sphere some heaven there is
that belongs to God, but this sad
world belongs to the devil. Such be-
lief perpetuates the sovereignty of evil.
We do not need to harass our minds
with subtleties as to the nature and
origin OF any holy spirit; we do need
to take hold Of and knit every power of
our lives into unison with every power
Of holiness, of goodness, with every
spirit and motive in others or in our
own hearts that moves for things high
and holy.
Without any theory as to the theolo-
gy involved may we not open our lives
to receive every spirit of good, every
holy desire and emotion? Perhaps our
greatest need is faith in the goodness
in Us and about US. Only believe you
are capable Of great and worthy things
and you have more than half attained
to them According to your faith so
is it to you.
Where the devil is theoretically ON
nipotent evil is practically dominant.
Have faith in the good. Believe in
your own possibilities; count with con-
tidence on potencies for truth and the
right at the call of your own will.
Meet every temptation with conscious
ness of reserves that battle for you
and for the higher, holier life.
The trend Of your whole life depends
on the influences to which it opens
itself. Goodness and truth, love and
purity, health and holiness of spirit and
motive are all about us in emotions.
aspirations, influences, and ideals. The
world is full of the sunlight of holy
spirit if we would but turn ourselves
toward its light and life giving power.
We must not encourage a blind op-
timism that says that all is we'll wheth-
er we will it SO or not; we must cult
vate high faith that health of spirit
and rightness of conditions are ours if
we but will to have them. Life is a
matter of selection. The happy, healthy,
helpful life is the one that steadily
selects and receives the good, that
thereby rejects and overcomes the evil.

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

By Henry F. Cope.
Receive We the holy spirit" John
1922.
There is in nearly all Of us that
which frequently impels the commits
sion of acts we know to be unworthy,
that against which we sometimes war
and to which we often yield, a baser
self. Every life knows this inner COM
Dulsion. With some the struggle Is
perpetually keen and the power that
drags them down seems to be disas
trously potent.
In the end 1t makes little difference
to us whether the opposing powers are
embodied in some omnipotent person
Atty, a sort of second degree deity, or
whether they belong in each case. to
ourselves, rising within us. Faith in
the devil is q test Of orthodoxy COM
forting to souls that feel their need
of a scapegoat. But the attitude of
each soul in the struggle is the real
test.
This sense of a terrific struggle, IN
ending din, and wrestling back and
forth sums up the religious philosophy
of some: 1t is the only gospel they
know, We are not likely to lose sight
of its facts; we know its conflict too
well. But we are In danger of failing
to see the other side and of thinking
of ourselves as left almost helpless, to
wage this unequal warfare alone. We
nicture ourselves as lonesome as Chris
tian in .'Pilgrim's Progress
If there is within a spirit of evil
there is also spirit of good. No heart
normally is either preempted or monop-
olized by evil Ii we would but rec
ognize the facts there are as many inn
pulses to the good as to the bad. II
II is true that when we would do good
evil is present with us, is it not also
true that when we would do i'll then
good is present with us?
It may be convenient to lay our
greed and sloth. our unkindness and
cruelty, and all the evil acts Of life to
the credit Of the devil; some folks have
wonderful faith in his baseness. But
r. whom or what shall we credit, under
such system of imputation, the long
;nes for goodness, the high motives,

The Feeding of Dogs.

A dog should not be fed ON meat
alone under any consideration. Be
sides making him nuisance 1t makes
him naturally carnivorous and often
savage. If he is always fed at the
conclusion of a certain meal-dlnner'
for instance-he will wait patiently
until the prescribed time. 1t IS
good plan to feed after ones Midday
meal, giving plenty of green Vegeta-
bles. bread and potatoes, with very
few scraps of finely cut meat, the
whole well mixed and some gravy
noured over it. If two meals are CIV
ON one should be at breakfast ume
and one in the evening. One should
consist of only little oatmeal ana
milk or a piece of dry dog biscuit AT
no time should the dog have more
than he will eat, and if he leaves any
thing his allowance should be feouceu
or meal omitted.-Journal or Agfl-

Specimens of Irish Wit.

An Albany, N. Y letter to the Veter-
ans Advocate gives the following speci-
mems Of Irish wit rs furnished by Gen.
Palmer, who said: There was an
Irish corporal in my company. One
night at Baton Rouge there was
dreadful storm. 1t rained and so cold
it froze. This freshman was on picket.
AS / passed him l said, We'll, Jerry,
what do you think Of this|
Sure, sergeant this is a night for
Americans to be Oh guard"
This same fellow was color ser
geant at the battle of Monacsy.
The rebels charged with cavalry and
broke our line AS he WAS running a
rebel grabbed the staff over his Shout
der and pulled it apart where it join
ed. The general afterwards said:
well, don't you think you are pretty
soldier to lose your cOlors? 'Well,
now see here, general, I'll tell you all
said, Give me that flag you ID
Yank.' And general, it was the first
time was ever complimented by being
called a Yank, and so l gave them
right up"
And that reminds me Of another yarn
where the quick Irish wit comes out
ahead. Two old soldiers met One,

Commercial Value of Cornsta1ks.

OOH"eFcAAA value OF COrnStalkS.
After numerous experiments the
chemists Of the Bureaus of Forestry
and Plant Industry assert that paper
can be made from cornstalks by very
nearly the same process employed in
making it from wood pulp. Moreover
they are confident that when machin-
cry has been perfected the cost of MAX
ing paper from cOrnstalks Cat present
such paper costs about a dollar a ton
more to make than wood pulp paper)
will be little over half what it is
now.
Two grades of cornstalk paper have
been made, a white paper made from
the outside shell Of the cornstalk, and a
yellow from the pith. 1t has taken
fifty years to develop the present meth
DDS Of making paper from wood pulp.
DR.. II. S. Bristol, the head of the bu-
reau, believes that when proper ma
chinery is built and the farmers real
lie that a good revenue may be derived
from the sale of cornstalks, paper will
be manufactured from the new ma
terial at half the present wood pulp
paper.
With wood at So a cord, paper is
made from wood pulp at cost OF Sl3
ton. COrnstalks can be bought for 30
a ton and the paper made with the
present primitive machinery for Sl4 a
ton.

SERMONETTES

Short prayers often last longest.
Good will ON earth is Gods will for
man.
There are no saints without their
service
He who cheers another encourages
himself
A weekend religion is weak at both
ends.
There are no single admission tick
cts to glory.
No man can be free who holds an
other in bonds.
Many have found life's crown bend
ing over a cradle.
The dew of heaven is not in the mil
dew on the sermon.
The path of happiness always leads
by some sad ones side.
Friends do not freeze 60 a frozen
heart.
Easy times often account for bad
habits.
Nothing is really sacred until all
things are.
Big plans do not balance small per-
formances.
Short cuts to fortune are often bot
tomless cuts.
If wishes were wings good works
would soon cease.
That soul is truly lost that gathers
darkness of the light.
No man ever saw his Father by
climbing over his brother.
Your rank amongst men depends on
how you help them to rise.
The faint-hearted are those who
think only of feeding themselves.
Many think they are going forward
bravely because they fear to go back
There is sorrow without selfishness,
but never selfishness without sorrow.
It's a poor kind of piety that seeks
all the pleasures and lodges the pains.
The significance of sins against our
selves is that they are sins against So
ciety.
It often happens that the man who
talks much about going to glory has
neighbors who wish he'd make start.
DONT'S FOR CEURCHMEN.
Don't expect to save anger without
love.
Don't forget that greed prevents real
gain.
Don't try to heal your aches by air
ing them
Don't forget that a strong breath
usually comes from weak backbone.
Don't fear the impossible if you
would learn to find that which is posi-
BILE.
Don't fail to make some one less sad
if you want to make yourself more
happy.
Don't fail to learn that this world
is enriched by goodness more than by
cleyerneSs.
Don't think you are giving man
charity by giving him money when his
name is at stake.

SERVICE TO GOD.
By Rev. Ernst A. 7

beeseech you, therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that We present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ac-
ceptable, unto God, which is your rea-
sonable service.-Rom. II i.
There is much talk nowadays Of rea-
sonable service. The regular church
service is often despised and sneeringly
referred to as the most unreasonable by
mSA who claim that ''the great dome
OF nature is a much more worthy
place for the alteration of the Almighty
than even the most dignitied church
service is to cut loose from all creeds,
from all revelation, from everything
that is supernatural and to devote all
time and energy to the things that be.
is that rational? St Paul, preach
ing to the Greeks at Athens, says like
wise: God that made this world dwell
eth not in temples made with hands,
neither is wOrshiped with mans hands,
as though He needed anything" But
he has a different idea of what a rea-
sonable service is; he calls it: ITO pre-
sent our bodies, living sacrifice" The
universal prevalence of sacrifice in an
cient. times shows how deeply it was
rooted in humanity. Everywhere we
encounter the idea that God wants a
sacrifice, for sacrifice is service and
service is sacrifice, and as the great
est offering appears blood and life.
Now it is certainly unrea sonable to
believe that God could be pleased with
burnt offerings or that bloody sacri-
flee of human being was necessary to
appease Him. And yet it is true God
is looking for a sacrifice. Having been
redeemed by Him who gave His life
as a sacrifice for sinners, we should
present our bodies, living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God. That is a
reasonable service. What does that
mean? It means that what God has
given us we should give back to Him
sanctifed. This applies also to our
body, which should be a living sacri-
flee.
St Paul writes to the Corinthians:
'Know We not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in
you, which you have Of God and We are
not your own. For We are bought with
a price, therefore glorify God in your
body
How often do we forget this How
carelessly do we often treat our bodies
and how neglectful are we sometimes in
regard even to the fundamental prin-
ciples Of human health! No wonder
that the soul is so weak while it dwells
in a body which is more like a tomb
than like a living temple! A sacrifice
must be without blemish, and if the
presenting of our body shall be &C
ceptable unto the Lord, it must be
living sacrifice And it must be holy.
While the heather ideal of the Greeks
was beauty, the Christian ideal is holt
ness. "Ye shall be holy, for I am
holy!" Many strive after the heather
ideal. They care more to look good
than to be good and are ever ready and
ever busy to correct nature. 1t is as
tonishing what they are willing to sac
rifce, to suffer in order to gain this
end. How much good could be accom-
plished If they would employ the same
energy in striving after holiness.
