Text: Exodus 25-40, the Tabernacle.
Memory verse 1858.
This week, instead of questions,
will make statements concerning the
tabernacle and its furniture, which
will perhaps be the most useful.
The Tabernacle.
The dwelling place of God. The
structure for Jehovah-divine grace
Get I'D in the wilderness-God always
with us. Gods presence makes men
holy-a shadow of heavenly things. 1t

first month Of the second year after
leaving Egypt. 1t was completed in
nine months. Its cost is estimated
rom quarter of a million to one mil
lion dollars. 1t was As feet long, Is
;eet wide and Is feet high. It was
as boards of shittim wood. covered
With gold, for three sides. They were
set in sockets of silver. They were
held together by bars. There was. no
/ floor. There was an open side, fur
nished with curtain. The materials
were various. suitable, very costly,
beautiful, durable and mostly from
Egypt. 1t taught the holiness of God,
and man together. The import of the
materials foreshadowed Christ. Gold
Son of God. Silver-ransom for sin
ners. Brass-Christ on the cross
6lue-lOVe. Purple-neSn. scarlet
dignity Linen-truth, etc.
The Ark OF the Covenant.
The first and most important of the
six pieces of furniture. 1t stood for

either side. The Shikinah light was

Day of Atonement. 1t was the only
thing in the Holy of Holes. Later it
contained the law, Aaron's rod and a
pot of mama.
Table OF ,Shewbread.
To the right as you entered the
Holy palace was the Table of Shew-
nread to teach the lesson of COM
nunion with God. 1t had crown Of
gold at the top. On it were twelve

the Holy place and no where else. On
the table were two dishes for the
bread two for frankincense and two
for wine.
The Candlestick.
To the left was the candIestick of
lure gold. No dimensions. The snuff

1t was always burning. The ornaments
were almonds, KNOBS and flowers. 1t

renewed daily.
The Incense Altar.
This was Is inches by 8 inches and

priest burned the incense (prayer) be-

The Brazan Altar.
The largest piece of the Tabernacle
furniture 1t stood in the outer court
near the entrance. There were horns
On the corners. 1t was wood covered
; with brass. There was CRATE but no
bottom It did for Israel what the
cross did for US. Our substitute for
the Brazen altar is the Bible. Horns
stood for protection. The fire never
went out. Concluded next week.

A Friend and His Wisdom.
Terse Comments for December 5
Life Lessons for Me from FRS
John" I John 4 TAI
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

1t is the one closest to a man s
heart who best understands his mind.
at is the heart and not the brain,
That to the highest doth attain -
That is why loving disciples of Christ
comprehend him better than many
learned scholars. Not the critical
FACULTY, but the capacity for affection,
measures ones ability to know God.
character and Gospel of Jesus were
his two best friends, Paul and John.
Paul conceived an oyermastering
passion for his Lord. John was the
best earthly friend of Jesus, leaning
on his breast at supper So it has
come to pass that Christians love best
the lineaments of the Master as John
the Beloved has drawn them, and the
Fourth Gospel is the most thumbed
book in the Bible.
John was made by his friendship.
The same transformation is being
wrought every day before our ewes:
men and women become glorified by
great love There is no education
equal to that gained in the school of
the heart. What we love shapes u.s.
If, as did the apostle, we love the SUI
preme Life, then our lives likewise
become superlative.
In loves school John learned how
to write five of the greatest books of
the New Testament; and they are all
redoient of the love of God.
Despite the old proverb, love is not
blind. 1t sees farthest and most clear
~ The knowledge which our friends
have of us is truer than that of our
enemies. John was qualified to be
the blographer of the inner nature of
Jesus because he loved him.
Anybody who gets as close to God
! as did John the Beloved finds that his
other name is love.
| Two lovers at their trysting time
We're won't to read over the portion of
Johns first letter which the Christian
Endeavorers are studying this week.
1t seemed to them as If none of the
other great passages in literature upon
love were sufficient to express and
| explain their own passion for each
other. Throughout their courtship, and
far into their married life. they were
) accustomed to read together "Be-
! loved, let US love one another; for love
is of God; and every one that loveth
is begotten of God, and knoweth
God"
| Often lower passions and impulses
are mistaken for love; certain test
| is this great letter of Johns. Love
! that Is love, pure, dlVlne, ana eternal,
will square with these standards.
The proof that man is walking in
| the light is the love he bears his
brother. No creed subscription can
take the place of this: the real ortho-
doxy is just walking in the light and
| love of God.
| An interesting book could be written
upon the vital relation that subsists
| between religion and education, in I'M
| folding Johns proposition that God
] - light Wherever men come to
know God, there they straightway set
out in quest of all lesser knowledge.
There are two principal planks in
| Johns platform of religion: God is
light and "God is love-" Any other
conception of the divine character is
inadequate. Because God is light. he
cannot tolerate the darkness of sin;
and no one can walk in sin and keep

LOW DOWN WAGON.
One Farmer Tells Of His Experience
with One.

I have been using handy wagon
for about two years, writes CORE
spondent of Orange Judd Farmer. Ths
height of front steel wheels is "a
inches and rear wheels 40 inches,
with tires five inches wide and one
half inch thick. For field work, such
as husking corn, hauling grain in
sheaves, etc., this wagon is a great
advantage. The wheels being of steel
it will not break down, as the tires
cannot run off, which is often the case
with wooden wheels.
The draft is lighter, as it will not
cut into the soil, and being low down
it is easier loading. For road use,
when hard and dry and free OF ruts,
which is most generally the case with
roads in Nebraska, the draft IS the
same as high-wheel, narrow-tire
wagon, but right after a rain, when
the top is muddy and hard under
meath the draft is heavier, although
when deep ruts are cut by narrow
tires the wide wheels will have tc
smooth them down.
Wagons with wheels lower than be-
fore mentioned are not advisable for
general farm use, as they cannot be
used for dumping grain in an elevator,
also when hauling sheaves on dry,
rough stubble, and the draft is consid.
erably heavier, and the swinging and
jarring of the tongue often gives the
horses a sore neck.

VALUE or PLANT FOOD
Action Of the Different Elements on
the Growth Of Plants.

Tho farmer sometimes finds It
rather hard to keep in mind the exact
functions Of the various plant food ele-
ments, with respect to the growth Of
the plant. Until he has gotten the
thing pretty well studied out the unfa-
mtltar names tend to mix him up more
or less. While we have given space
to the explanation of the matter be-
fore, the following remarks by Prof. A..
D. Hall Of Rpthamsted, England, on
the subject will be both of value and
interest to our readers:
The results Of nitrogen are seen at
once in the greener and more abun.
dant leaf: it makes the whole plant
go ahead, and the farmer is apt to
think more Of nitrogen than Of phos.
phorus and potash because he may
have to wait till harvest and actually
weigh the product to see their results
Nitrogen increases the Negative parts
OF the plant and an excess of it tends
to make the plant 60 on growing too
long and defers the production Of
flower and seed; it puts off the ripen.
Ing. Excessive nitrogen has doubled
the amount Of wheat straw, but re.
duced the per cent. Of wheat grain
from 62 down to 4S per cent. The
more nitrogen in the soil the more wa
ter and less sugar in the beet.
An excess of nitrogen makes the
plant more susceptible to disease, es-
pecially fungus disease. Mangolds, at
Rothamsted, are swept every year
with fungus diseases, while three feet
away are perfectly sound, healthful
beets. The infection is alike in both
places, but it takes" only on the
plots having an excess Of nitrogen.
The diseased plants are seen torn,
shriveled and rotten. Wheat fields
get rusty and weeds are mildewed on
high nitrogen land.
Phosphoric acid applied to the soil
hurries on the production of flowers
and seed, the ripening of the grain.
Right now it is making difference Of
ten days in the appearance of the bar
ley grain. Phosphorus is of enormous
value in pushing the crop on to ripe
ness. 1t is also an extraordinary stim.
ulant to the formation of roots and of
side shoots. This is a certain fact.
It is the special action of potash to
aid the plant in making carbohydrates,
sugar and starch. This process can
not go forward unless potash is
present; to increase this process in
crease the potash. Beet yields at
Rothamsted have been more than
doubled by the addition of potash.
Each of the three fertilizers has a
specific effect and should be applied
according to the specific needs Of the
crop.

To Wax Furniture

In waxing it is of great Importance
to make the coating as thin as pos
sible in order that the veins of the
wood may be distinctly seen. The FOL-
lowing preparation is the best for per-
forming the operation: Put two ounces
each of white and yellow wax over a
moderate fire in a clean vessel, and
when it is melted add four ounces of
best spirits of turpentine. Stir the
whole until entirely cool and you have
a pomade At for waxing furniture,
which must be rubbed over with a
fine brush. The oil soon penetrates
the pores of the wood, brings out the
color of it, causes the wax to adhere
better, and produces luster equal to
that Of varnish without being subject
40 any of its inconvenience. The pol.
ish may be renewed at any time by
rubbing with piece Of fine cork.

FOR THE FARMER.

Rotation of crops makes it difficult
for insect pests to flourish.
The man who cannot control his
temper should keep out of the COW
barn. He will do more harm there
than good.
Horace Greeley once defined a
farmer as a fellow who makes his
money on the farm and spends it in
town, while an agriculturist is man
who makes his money in town and
spends it on the farm.
Milk is over four.fifths water. How
can we expect COW to maintain a
heavy flow Of milk unless she has all
the water she wants to drink? And it
should have the chill taken OF in the
winter so the COW Will not need to
warm it up with food she should util.
ize for milk production.
