The reason there is such great de-
mand for land is that the business Of
farming IL beginning to be classed the
same as any other calling in life-only
better. The pre- capita wealth Of the
American farmer today is 81, ,34l. The
average income Of the farmers Of the
country during the past year was $61s,
while the average income of those en-
gagged in other callings was $4,000.

Poverty /. the Result of Drink.

Sir T. P. Whitaker. M. p. enc of
the most distinguished temperance
advocates of Great Brintain. refutes
decisively the claim of some investi-
gators into social problems that the
drinking habits among the poorer
classes are directly due to their con-
dition of poverty. Drinking" he
states, ''is far more the cause of pow
erty than poverty Is the cause of
drinking. The largest consumption
OF drink is not among the very poor
est. Many OF the poor are where they
are because of the drinking Of them
selves and others: but when they
have sunk into the direst poverty they
are not the heaviest drinkers. They
have not the money. There is the
most drinking and drunkenness when
trade is good and the country is pros
porous. 1t is far more prevalent in
wealthy manufacturing and mining
districts than in poor agricultural
ones. When trade is bad the drink
bill falls rapidly and the arrests for
drunkenness diminish greatly. Speak
ing broadly, people do not drink be-
cause they are poor. They are poor
because they drink. or because those
with whom they are connected have
drunk and do drink

Thus we sing and thus we pray.
But was our Lord and Savior thus
gently led? Alas, never. Take down
the concordance and see how Jesus was
led. Some one has gathered up the
references and shown how He was led
He was led into the wilderness to be
tempted Of the devil. He was led by
men filled with wrath to the brow of
the hill, that they might cast Him
down headlong. He was led away to
Annas; led away to Caiphas; led Into
the council OF the elders and chief
priests and scrii'es; led to Pontius Pi.
late, and into the hall Of Judgment.
Aud then, He, our Lord Jesus Christ,
was led as sheep to the slaughter; led
away to be crucified.
Let us recall this when we get down
to pray, "Gently, Lord, oh gently lead
u.s." 1t may temper our petitions; at
any rate 1t will make US APPRECIATE at
least In some small measure the path
He who gently leads us was led from
Jordon to Calvary, that he might know
the bitterest cup that any broken life
and bleeding heart may ever press to
Its lips. "Gently, Lord" yes but may
we walk softly and gently with thee.
