SAN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
ssss, & A. H..ss LEWIS, i p. sp.sSa ss::9
rncHzs: The sacrednesso Fatherhood

God alone has absolute power to
create. He might have retained this
power forever. He chose rather ito
confer Infinite honor and infinite re-
:sponsibility on man by delegatfng to
him the power torecreate. This pow
er to perpetuate the race, as a sub
creator, and to be:a direct factor In
determining Its character and destiny,
is divine. It's exercise in fatherhood
Is among the most sacred functions OF
existence. In; this life alone its re-
suits for4g good or evil are beyond COM
putation. Considered by the stand.
ard of an endless life; they are over
whelming. WereSthere not unknown
possibf bflitiesgf for good results In. each
experience Of parenthood. no man un-
derstanding what It means could ven
ture to assume fatherhood.
4 Much the larger share OF, human
suffering comes through impaired
physical health. Weakness and dis,
ease make men a burden on society.
lead to poverty, drunkenness, social
impurity, larceny and kindred evils.
No man Is free from guilt who trans
mits a single element of physical
weakness or disease which he can
avoid; 55.5
4 The habitual use Of stimulants and
narcotics destroys nerve force and
mental balance. Their effects are Of
ten more prominent In the second and
the third generations than in those
who first indulge. Purity in thought
and act is an imperative demand
which the sacredness of actual or pos
sible fatherhood places on all men.
In assuming fatherhood you are
acting for God; exercising the hottest
function ever given you. If man
goes out as the agent ofha business
firm, or the representative Of great
nation, he must be loyal to the power
which commissions him, and in whose
name he acts. How much more when
man assumes fatherhood, in behalf
Of the Infinite and Eternal Father!
He who does not love God cannot
transmit the tendency to love Him.
Such man must rather transmit the
tendency to hate and disobey God; for
which he, not his child, Is RESPONSE
BILE, This stupendous fact lies at the
core of all true religion.
The husband has to bear little OF
the passive service and continuous
burdens which attend parenthood.
The wife has an absolute right to all
the help which pure love, exhaustless
patience and tenderest sympathy can
afford. This is due to the child also,
who must suffer loss in proportion. as
these are withheld from the mother.
II any husband denies these, or worse
STILL. gives, In place Of them, indiffer-
snce, neglect, harshness or abuse. he
becomes a shame to the name Of
fetherhood, a disgrace to his sex, an
enemy to his own child, and sinner
before Goo.

The increased Need of Spraying.

Ihe Increased NceC OF Spraying.
Observant farmers have generally
concluded that all sorts of injurious
insects and fungus diseases appear
much more common that formerly,
and in some sections fruit growing
and the production Of many other
crops have been almost abandoned
because Of the impossibility Of pro-
ducing satisfactory crop on account
of these diseases and the ravages of
insects. In some instances new dis
eases and insects have actually been
introduced, while in others conditions
have been such as to favor the in
crease and spread of old enemies
which formerly did very little harm.
Our lack of proper crop rotation,
more extensive traffic in farm pro-
ducts, the destruction of other plants
upon which insects formerly fed, and
the ruthless slaughter of song and
game birds, which is still going on,
have all combined to increase the,
araYages of these enemies to farm
crops. If crop which furnishes
suitable food for an insect is grown
year after year on the same land this
insect has furnished for it the great
est aid for rapid increase in numbers.
Without discussing fully the causes
of present conditions it may be stated
that 10 grow good fruit and many 9TH
er crops. profitably, spraying is now
a necessity.-Prof. Soule.

A ton of peavine hay has fertil-

feeding value of at least $40 per ton
compared with wheat bran at its
ordinary price in the South it is worth
nearer s2O-and three-fourths of the
manur;al value can be returned to
the soil after it is fed. This means
that, at low estimate, a ton of well

Healing Of the Mind.

know man who, though busily
and extensively engaged In Christian
service, was for long. defeated in his
thought life. The evil word and act
were checked, but he could not pre-
vent his thoughts from ranging over
forbidden fields, and consequently he
was brought into inward bondage and
despair. One night, at the close of a
service, as the congregation sang the
well known words:
1Just as am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind, ).
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
0 Lamb of God, I come"
the thought broke upon him, and he
saw that what he needed most of all
was such. healing Of the mind as
that unto which Christ pledges Him
self. Falling upon his knees he cried
as he had never. done before:
20 Lamb of God, come!".
And his testimony is that Christ
brought him that night into an atti-
tude Of new surrender and enabled
him to exercise new faith. claiming
this promise /. which has constantly
been fulfilled tojhim: 1.-The peace Of
God shall guard your heart and your

be plowed, check it with a broad
pointed shovel plow, with burrows
five feet by five feet. Two men can
plant to advantage. One man with
mattock makes hole every five feet
at the crossing Of the burrows; the
other carries the plants in a basket
hung over his shoulder, places the
plant In the hole, covers the roots and
presses the earth tight around the
roots with his feet. Roots should be
spread out in the hole as much as
possible when planted. When the
land cannot be checked with plow,
poles placed at each end Of the field
can be used for marking, and the
holes dug with a mattock in line
between the poles, and the rows can
be hept straight in one direction by
means of them, while the distance
can be stepped in the other. In fields
which are partly stocked with cedar,
sassafras, pine or other trees, only
the blanks or thin places need be
planted, the planted trees being
spaced about five feet apart in holes
dug with a mattock. Red oaks can
be planted among. sassafras sprouts,
and If the sprouts are not too thick
the, oaks will soon outgrow them.
When two species are mixed in a
plantation they should be alternated
in the rows.
Time to Plant-Planting can be
done in any mild weather after No
vember /, but it is preferable to do
it during: February and March, espe-
cIally in the case of pine. 1t costs
too much to cultivate trees after they
are planted, and for this reason the
larger specimens should be planted
in the grasslest and weediest spots,
since small specimens might be
smothered, by such growth. Planta-
tions Of trees must not be burned,
and cattle must be kept out until the
trees are so tall and strong that cat
tie cannot break them.-North Caro-
