SHORT METER SERMONS.

Every life has some great love.
Any wisdom this world has it has
from its fools.
Love is eternal because it never
worries about dying.
There may be many longing for
heaven for whom heaven is not long
ing.
Most of the philosophy on pain
works we'll only in application to 9TH
ers.
The champions of the truth are al
ways afraid It may wander from their
paths.
Faith is to be measured by what 1t
makes you do, not by what 1t makes
you want others to do.
1t is always easier to be poetical
over the heather than to be practical
ly helpful to your neighbor.
You never know how much travel
you are being saved when life leads
you through a dark tunnel.
You may know that man means
his prayer for the kingdom of heaven
when he tells the truth in horse
trade

To Make the Hens Lay.

If the hens don't lay, turn them out
and let them dig and hunt in the
ground for food, is the advice Of T. F.
McGrew, in the Country Gentleman.
Bury small grain where they will find
it when they dig. This will induce
them to hunt, and while thus employ
ed they will find bugs and worms that
will quicken the production of eggs 1t
Is we'll to follow this plan as soon as
the spade will turn the ground, for it
adds vigor and strength to the hens
and insures strong, healthy chicks. The
lazy, idle hen is of no use but to sit
about, eat and grow fat. If she will
not work, she will not lay If she will
not lay, her life should end. and her
fat carcass grace the table. You can
rest assured that the indolent hen is
a nonproducer; soon she becomes too
fat to lay and too tough to be eaten.

please his neighbor for his good to edi-
ication, for even Christ pleased not
Himself. -Romans XIV. 1, 2, 3.
Certain captious critics have object
ed to religion on the ground that 1t
chiefly has to do with the world to
come and not with our present work
in this world.
This Is untrue. Religion has not
chiefly to do with another world. It
has chiefly to do with right living now
and here, our present duty to our
selves, to God and to our neighbor.
We all know that 1t is not an easy
thing to live as we should. At the
best it is hard to order our lives
Alright. We need the aid of every
thing that can help us to this, and
then, even, we will sadly come short
of our whole duty to God, to ourselves
and to those around US.
We certainly cannot afford to dis
penss with any help to holiness. To
lessen or destroy any assistance to
good conduct would be to lessen the
safety of society and the value Of life.
Now, 1t Is certain that the fear Of
God" Is a restraint and powerful re-
straint to many people, as 1t should
be. To lessen or destroy in ones mind
all fear Of "a certain looking-for of
judgment would seriously imperil the
security of society. AS to this there
can be no question. Nor can there be
any question that to rob human kind
Of the consultations of Christianity
would be an 1rreparable loss, as was
80 pathetically admitted by John Stu
art Mill.
No, it would not be better. or any
thing like as well, for people to give
time and thought to temporal affairs
without any regard to their eternal
well being. 1t might as we'll be said
that it would be better to bring up q
boy without regard to his ever being
man. His while training has refer
ence to the future, and what he Is to
be and do. Nor should it be planned
only with reference to the brief years
of his mortal life, but with regard to
what he will be forever and ever.
The supposition that Christianity
has to do only with the life OF the
world to come Is altogether mistake.
As every one knows, the Bible-and
above all, the teachings OF Jesus
Christ-abounds in good advice as to
right living now and here in this
world, which If fully put in practice
would make human life a thousand
times better, safer and sweeter than
1t is. Take the teaching of the text as
an example:
Let every one of us please his
neighbor for his good to edification,
for even Christ pleased not Himself"
Think what blessed thing it
would be If every man, woman and
child the world over would begin do
ing this to-day. Why, in such case
every house and home on earth would
be lightened and sanctified and glori-
fed, and Gods will would begin to be
done on earth as it is done in heaven.

Mastering Them Out.

Thousands of blue-coated G. A. R.
men gathered recently at Salt Lake
to renew the ties of wartime and
fight over again the battles in which
as stripping lads they preserved the
Union and forever stilled the rebel
war cry.
During the year 1908 more than
10000 of the gallant defenders of their
country were mustered out forever
The ranks are thinner, and on the
farther shore, in the great biyouac OF
the dead, old comrades gather each
year in greater number for the last
long rest.
Only few more years and the vast
army that carried the stars and stripes
to victory will have dwindled to a
little band of aged and enfeebled sur.

votes, but Pat Ross withdrew before
the roll was called and threw his
strength to Green Bennett. On the

dropped because he had the smallest
number of votes, and Bennett and
Holt were left to fight ii out. On the
next roll call Cecil went for Bennett
and by a vote of 291 to 226 Bennett
