ion turns from the cant phrases about
feeling good to consider what oppor.
tunities there are for doing good; and
the world grows weary of institutions
protesting to save, but standing help
less before its real needs.
But there are many who lack either
the energy or the vision to make their
religious life one of normal activity,
and who therefore attempt to judge
the piety of others by the tests which
they find most convenient for them
selves, who insist that they only are

types of emotional feeling or who
speak Of certain shibboleth.
No man needs to allow these self
constituted authorities to give him

growth from religion, it will be found
not by such fimsy tricks and devices
but through earnest seeking after the
good and the true.
There is tremendous amount of
untabulated, unreported, and often I'M

are doing the deeds and living the life
Of religion who might we'll be unwil1-

things, the man or woman who throws

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't forget that the best prayer
against weeds is the hoe.
Don't forget that facts are danger
Gus things for fool to handle.
Don't become blinded to all good by
looking out for yourself alone.
Don't boast of power to fool others
if you would steer clear of fattery.
Don't hesitate to cheer another to a
good deed if you yourself wish to have
a share in it.
Don't fail to note that men never
die of spiritual indigestion from swal-
lowing their spite.
Don't nurse an envious mind if you
would avoid the pathway to an empty
heart.
Don't forget that temptation maKes
poor diet even though it may be good

Don't fail to observe that what you
render in faith is often given in love
by humanity.

iarent kinds do not exhaust the soil in
the same manner; all plants do not
restore to the soil a like quantity or
quality of manure, and all plants are
not equally favorable to the growth
Of weeds. Upon the above principles
is based a regular succession OF crops.
Though the system of rotation Is
adapted to every soil, no particular
rotation can be assigned to any one
description of soil which will answer
at all times. and on the demand for
different kinds of produce. On clayey
soils, beans and clover, with rye grass
are generally alternated with grain
crops and on dry loans or sandy
ground turnips, beets, potatoes and
clover On rich soils this system OF
alternate husbandry is most conducive
70 the plentiful production of food,
both for men and animals. One por-
lion Of a farm would thus be always
under grain croTH, while the other por-
ton was growing roots or cultivated
gaSsS; but, as the major part of ar
able lands can not be preserved in
state of fertility with even this kind of
Management, it is requisite that the
portion Of the farm which is under
cultivated grasses should be pastured
Tor two Or three years, in order to give
thine to recruit. The following is a
Sood rotation of crops: First year,
clover; second, clover; third, corn;
fourth, oats; fifth, wheat. The clover

moving can be very we'll prepared for

A military critic, reviewing the per-
sonal narrative of the battle ol
Gettysburg written by Col. Frederick
A. Haskell of Wisconsin, within a
month after the fight, but only re-
Gently published, finds in it new rea"
son to ask the question, why did
Gen. Lee fail?"
AS a soldier, he AYERS, Lee is in
dubitably a far greater figure than
Meade. How could such leader fail,
in the prime of his power, and with an
army almost matchless, practically
equal in numbers to the adversaries
whom he had repeatedly beaten? What
brought that proud spirit so low that
he fell into depression and begged that
he might be allowed to resign?
Gen. Morris Schaff, a graduate Of
West Point, and a soldier of long ex"
perience, in some of his discursive re-
marks in his story of the Battle Of the
Wilderness, gives a plausible answer
to this question, probably without hav'
ing seen it, as his story was written
before the review above referred to ap-
peared.
Lees orders in every case to those
in front that day were qualified by
the caution not to bring on general
engagement Orders of this kind,
Schaff says, are embarrassing; for
corps or division commander never
knows how far to push his successes.
Then he adds:
"Their evils had a good illustration
at Gettysburg. There Lee used iden-
tically the same language on the first
day; and when Trimble urged Ewen
to take advantage Of the complete
overthrow of our First corps and fol-
low up our disordered troops and
seize the Cemetery Ridge, he replied
that he had orders from Lee not to
bring on a general engagement. Lees
orders were indeterminate and there
fore hampering; and for that reason,
and on that account, believe, he lost
the battle of Gettysburg"
Speaking from a military stand
point, it is quite likely that Gen. Lee
erred from excessive caution, realizing
that he was in the enemys country,
and that if defeated an energetic com
mander opposed to him might push
him to destruction.

said unto Peter: 1t is the Lord -
John xxi T.
A young man, stranger, comes to
home that has lost its child. Some
tricks of manner, a fash of the eye,
seizes the sorrowing msthers heart.
She cries with tears "It is my boy,
A like beauty of recognition, raised
to the divine power, lies in the simple
story of the text. The Lord was once
a little human child. How was the
Christmas baby greeted? He came
into world of love, home, nurture,
growth. A world Of foreboding, of
peril, or burden-bearing. Mary, grasp
ing Him to her heart and picturing His
future, cries: 1T is my dear one! 1t
is my promised blessing!" Could any
one, even the virgin mother, foreknow
that future? Could anyone see the
Lord In the infant? God was most
human In the manger, on the cross.
It is an untrue temptation to find
Him in marvels
Put another text by the side Of ours,
the words, Eye have done 1t unto me-"
Both are Christmas texts, If we be
able to see it: 1T is the Lord; eye
have done it unto me-
The first note Of Christmas is a note
of joy, an Illuminated picture. Songs
of angels, shepherds with fiocks, a star
leading wise men All that story we
believe, we follow with them, we find
Him and worship.
But He comes again in another
guise. The beautiful German myth Of
the Christ Child is true. Christ be-
longs to universal humanity in its love
and sympathy and service. In the
darkness and the cold, In the driving
wintry storm, cry, knock from
without our sheltered comfort. We
open to ragged, weary, haggard child.
"It is the Lord" the Lord of Mans
common need and common devotion.
The glory of the Christmas time is
a twofold glory, Have you caught
both it's notes?
There is a nearer truth these Christ
mas days. We find Him to be Lord as
we strive to climb to the heights
where He lives, rather than as He
comes down to US. We find Him in the
child, the carpenter, the teacher, the
healer, the friend, so revealing what
it is to be divine We find Him in
the least of His brethren, whom He
loved, whom we serve as our trust
from Him We find Him in ourselves.
Looking at our own lives, we may
share again the JOY and wonder and
hope of Mary, may bring to birth the
divine.
There is something worth redeem
ing in men. The stranger whom we
dimly see on the shore of life's cloud
bank speaks: Cast the net on the
right side Of the ship" Keep at 1t!
Be brave, be steady at your work,
whether it be teaching or study;
whether outside labor or housekeeping.
Let it not be a hard done duty. but
a willing use, the homage of life
that is a trust from on high.
Living can never be as if there had
been no Christmas in the world. On
the shore, in the mist by the fire,
in labor and doubt and mOnOtony, we
minister to no stranger, no tyrant.
Everywhere ut is the Lord" glory and
peace, love and good will.

Armisteads regiments were frightfully

Modern Farming.

The use of the most modern meth
DDS in farming is by no means re-
stricted to the huge ranches of this
country. In nearly every locality in
the state farmers are using traction
engines with steam or gasoline for
power to pillow and harrow their land.
We know one ranch of $50 acres-not
large for this state-on which the
blowing and narrowing is done with
a 20 horsepower gasoline engine. This
hau1s four 14-inch gang plows and a
2-horse harrow-the equivalent of the
work of twenty horses. The distance
traversed over tough soil is from two
to two and a half miles an hour. One
harrow is placed off to the side so that
the result is a double narrowing of
the tract. 1t was considered too small
an area to warrant the initial expense
for the machine, but the owners of the
ranch are satisfied that it will save
it's cost in few years. The time is
coming when the tedium of farm work
will be laid upon machinery.
