SERMONETTES.

Love is dead when the lips can tell
it all.
Opposition is often the cause of en-
thusiasm.
The wind never blows the right way
for lazy man.
When a sermon gets thin it is sure
to spread itself out long.
They who guard their eyes are like
~ to watch their tongues.
Our own roses are never quite as
fair as our neighbours cabbages.
The best thing about good man is
that he never knows how good he is.
Taking a broom to our alleys may
be taking a short cut to the heavenly
mansions.
He who has piety only to save him
self has neither enough to help him,
nor to hurt him.
There is only one test the true
church can apply to any man, and that
is, "Do you need?"

The Hired Man.

There are great differences in the
qualifications of the hired man. One
is worth all and more than he re-
ceiyes, while another, who Is apparent
w equally as intelligent, is not worth
anything, and the employer is loser
in the long run by having him around
The best hired man is one who is In
telligent and active. A good one
should receive the best of treatment
from his employer and should never
tire of what is to be done on the
ranch, regardless of the lateness OF
the hour or the inclemency of the
weather, if loss is likely to accrue IN
case he should fail to work at that
particular time. Of all farmhands the
most despicable is the liar who tells
Won that he has done such and sucn
work when he has not Next TO TINS
one comes the lazy man.-DenVeI

is no sin. The sin Is in keeping them
until they fill and control us and
make us act in contrariness to our
mature Judgment. Birds will fly over
us, but we can prevent their roosting
in our hair says one. Fling away
evil desires.
The thinking makes the act. The
constant thought Of pure God makes
us like Him in all things. BY and
by we shall see Him and be like
Him.
The second step is self-will. Oh,
how dangerous! Fathers, mothers
and friends warning all go unheed-
ed. To be self-willed in evil is to be
counting destruction. Warning is for
salvation. Self-will has been the de-
struction of countless needless boys
and girls.
THE third step is self-deception.
1t is awful. Ye men and women de-
cetve themselves into thinking sin is
science calls and pleads, but they heed
not. A nail in compass destroys
ship. A sin, though we be conscious
or unconscious of 1t, makes wreck
of a noble life. God is not Knocked
without His knowing. What a man
sows, he shall reap. If he sows to the
flesh the reaping will be terrible; if
he sows to the spiritual the reaping
will be the best of eternal things.
THE fourth step Is hardness of
heart. God does not harden our hearts,
we do it ourselves. The sun and rain
make harder the rock and more fer
tile the valley. So of us, Gods untold
mercies harden some and cause others
to praise.
THE fifth step is blindness. Some
will not see who could see. Some
call good evil and evil good. 1t is a
desperate step to take. Some will not
see until hell swallows them up. Oh,
my people! My people! Are you
blind?
presumption is the sixth step. You
are sporting with spiritual things, de-
stroying purity, massacring and cru
cifying God afresh. | heard men
swear on God. I always feel safer
away from them. Many are on this
step downward.
The last step is desperate wicked
ness. It Is on a level with hell. God
has tried and failed. The men and
the women have dragged God through
sin and filth. They have erased His
image from self and from others. To
commit spiritual suicide is awful, but
to ruin another is worse. Before 1t
is too late come up to better place.
Everything that is good entreats you
to it.
THE ladder you have climbed
down is not for such as you. Come
back ere it is too late. And may God
help you as He will"

Hens That Will Lay in Winter.

The latest characteristic which the
poultry raiser is endeavoring to estab,
lish in the several egg-laying strains
of hens is the early maturity of pull
let's, with the consequent laying, dur.
ing the season when eggs are scarcest
and bring the highest prices.
A Maine breeder reports a lot OF
Twenty-Five April-hatched pullets
which were selected because they had
begun to lay in the latter part Of Au
gust.
From September / until the end OF
April these birds laid on an average OF
115 eggs each, at a calculated profit
of over So per bird. If such profits
could be realized on the majority OF
the hens kept for laying, the elusive
fancy profits of the poultry business
would be realized. ..--
The breeding of poultry to type is
now so generally accomplished that the
suggestion to breed a race of birds
which will be winter egg-producers
warrants the belief in its early achieve
ment

Education and the Soil.

One Of the popular fallacies that is
apidly losing ground is the Idea that
an! one with no previous training or
experience can be a successful farmer,
and one of the chief agencies of en-
Gghtenmeut is the Government Blu
reau Of Soils. This useful adjunct of
the Department Of Agriculture is rap

the actual values and needs of the
earth In various parts of the West,
and its reports will constitute Valu-

engaged In agriculture to embark in

Inc government has risen to the
need OF demonstrating that the day of
naphazard and scratching of the sur
lace OF the earth Is passed, and that

naming If not thorough scientific edu-
auOn, Is needed. 1t is the aim of the
bureau OF Soils to establish accurately

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't forget that occupation arms
the heart.
Don't try to enjoy pleasures unless
they are earned.
Don't Judge mans heavenly faith
by his credulity with men.
Don't expect to get closer to real re-
ligion by jumping into theological dis
cussions.
Don't fail to learn the difference be-
tween hurting advice and giving
friendly counsel.
Don't use the language of love and
miss its life If you would avoid the
greatest crime.
Don't brag of the things you have
given to the world until you have
taken stock of what you owe.
Don't shrink from the blasts of sor-
row if you would uncover false friends
and reveal true ones.
