A CHRISTIAN.
By Rev. George :

ny LEV. george w. brOWu.
Text.-"Then Agrippa said unto
Paul. Almost thou persuadest me to be
a Christian."-Acts XVI, 8.
A Christian is Man with a Life.
A life which accords with his creed
and experience. Our religion must be
lived. And the one truth you live is
worth more than the twenty truths you
merely profess to believe.
Religion having it's throne in the
heart sways it's scepter over the entire
masters it, brings it into subsection so
it tolls for God and man. It domi-
mates the intellect so that the very
chambers of the imagination are pure,
and the mans soul is shrine. 1t lays
it's controlling hand on the tongue and
holds it to the musical speech of love.
If the creed is the root, the experience
is the flower and the life is the fruit
of religion. That we have the bloom
and fragrance of an experience is not
enough; we must bear fruit unto holi-
ness that the end may be everlasting
life.
Men will look at Christians and
judge of the gospel by our representa-
lions of it in our lives. 1t is a close
text, but a fair one. We ought to live
up to it, The world has a right to
eXpect-yes, demand this. The gospel
supplies the power to enable us to do
it, and all who are in the church fold,
but do not live the lives of Christians,
should repent of their evil ways or run
from the church like lepers.
The time was when the question
which led the Christian world was
what do you think?' That day is
past. There came a time when the
emphatic question was, "How do you
feel?' but the emphasis has now gone
farther The test question of the hour
is, "How do you act?" Right action
is the crystalized result of intense
thinking and intense feeling My breth-
rem, let us honestly believe the truth,
fully experience it's power to save the
soul; and then so live that without a
label on our foreheads, the world shall
recognize US as Christians.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1909-01-22

the past, then, let us say Of it, with
st. Paul, forgetting those things which
are behind, and reaching forth unto
those things which are before, l press
toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ
Our help is in Him. Therefore let us
look to Him, and be of good courage,
believing He can and will deliver US
''from the bonds of those sins which
by our frailty we have committed"
He wants to help us, and is even
now helping us. A real desire to fol-
low Him will keep us from deadly sin.
He came to save US from our sins, to
take them away and free us from
them. A trus Christian purpose should
keep us from serious sins, and by Gods
grace it will. Let it then comfort us
to know that God is for us, not against
us that the infinite love, the infinite
knowledge and the infinite power of
God are forever working for our good.
Always, day and night, night and day,
every moment Of every hour, every
hour of every day. AS it is written,
HE giveth His beloved in Sleep" that
is even whilst they sleep. If, then, we
are workers together with Him, all
will be well with us.
We should therefore fearlessly face
the future, knowing that God can turn
even the follies and the failure Of the
past into certain sort Of good to us.
In His wisdom He can ovverule even
our errors, and in His mercy He is
not extreme to mark what is amiss.
But let us be glad that He makes our
Waywardness wearisOme. To know our
weakness Is a lesson we'll worth learn
ing, even though at the cost Of many
a humbling experience, and, perhaps,
of much sorrow So we see that even
through our waywardness and will
fulness God is seeking us and bring
ing us back to Him. And so, dark as
sometimes the day has been, let us go
bravely on in our appointed way, know
ing we are on our way home and that
''at evening time it shall be light"
AS saint said: Sometimes our
path in life may seem like lane full
of weary w1ndings, where the steep
banks shut out the light and air and
all we can do is to trudge steadily on
through the thick mire, but if we look
high up in front Of us we shall see.
as Israel saw, the faint blue hills of
the Land Of Promise rising up against
the sky. The path will come out at
length in full view Of the Celestial
City, and at last we shall be at home"

Ihese SOILS into good condition again.
1t is a bad practice to stir ground
when it is wet, yet it is done every
spring. Crops are puddled in every
year, and it is a wonder that we get
any crops at all from these fields.
Such fields are the first to dry up
When summer droughts strike us. for
caplllar1ty has been so completely de-
stroyed that the crops can not draw
upon the water reserves, and the ele-
ments needed for growth Of the crops
are so securely locked up in the clods
that they are not available.
1t Is the natural tendency of all soil
TO become firmer. 1t is tamped down
by even the gentlest rains, and beating
rains will render it almost impervious
to water. Good farming must undo
this work by breaking up these crusts
and keeping the soil in good condition.
All practical farmers know that soils
are best by being plowed and cultivated
at just the right time, but not many
have the patience to stand by, when
the season is getting late, or put off
cultivation and allow weeds to get the
upper hand. Brown says there is more
to be gained by properly working our
soils than in fertilizing them.

Wind Collie In Horses.


The treatment for wind collie differs
very materially from that of cramp
collie. AbsOrbents are of some service,
and charcoal may be given in any
quantity. RelaXants are also beneficial
in this form of collie. Choral hydrate
also is a pain reliever. It is particu-
larly well adapted to the treatment of
wind collie, and should be given in l.
ounce doses in a pint of water. D1-
luted alcohol or whisky may be given,
or aromatic spirits of ammonia in l.
ounce doses at short intervals. A
physic should always be given in fatu-
lent collie as early as possible, the best
being LOUNGE doses Of Barados aloes.
Injections, per rectum, of turpentine, 1
to 2 ounces; linseed oil, ounces, may
be given Frequently to stimulate the
perista1tic motion Of the bowels and
favor the escape of wind. Blankets
wrung out of hot water do much to af-
ford relief; they should be renewed
every five or ten minutes and covered
with a dry, wooden blanket This form
of collie is much more fatal than cramp
cote, and requires prompt and persist
emf treatment 1t is entirely unsafe

mild attacks going ON to speedy death,
while others that appear at the onset
