The Mind of Jesus

Let this mind be in you which was
also in Christ Jesus" wrote Paul to
the Christians of Philippi. The coun-
sci was needed then and IS still ap-
plicable. The deepest demand of the
individual and the multitude is found
to consist in the requirement of the
mind of the Master. What Jesus was
minded to be and do is in a lesser way
to be the form of the life and activity
of his followers. Whatever in the
world of people is wrong is due to an
absence of the mind of Christ, and
wherever that Christly purpose and
disposition go there follows peace, and
joy, and holy living, and righteousness
is spread abroad to work through all
eternity.

No more constant friend to the
farmer is to be found in the South
than the cowpea crop. When a man
has grown several crops OF corn and
cotton on the same piece of land, he
usually begins to look around for
some short crop to put in on his land
which will restore the soil productive
ness, and at the same time make a
good pasture for live stock. On such
a farm there is nothing in the South
which will be of more benefit as a
nitrogen restorer to the soil, or fur
nish a richer green feed for live
stock; and it yields fine hay when
cured.

When coal oil is used in the hen
house for discriminating lice, first
gather all the eggs. If a setting hen
and her nest become infested, remove
the eggs to clean nest, paint and
burn the inside of the nest box with
kerosene and refill with clean nest
ing material. To remove lice from a
setting hen insect powders or dust
must be used, but never any oil or
grease, as it will get on the eggs and
cause them not to hatch.
A newly-laid egg lies horizontally
at the bottom of vessel of water.
An egg three to five days old raises
itself from the horizontal so that it's
axis makes an angle of about 20 de-
grees At eight days old this angle
has increased to about IS degrees, at
IA days it is 60 degrees, at about
three weeks it is rs degrees, and af-
ter four weeks it stands upright on
the pointed end. A bad egg floats.
With practice it is stated that the
age can be told to a day.

Scripture Authority - Nehemiah
chapter II.
Book of Nehemia hit ia the latest of
all the historical books of the Old Tesla
ment Like the preceding Book of Ezra
IL clearly is not all by the same hand.
BY far the principal portion, indeed, is
the work of Nehemiah. The main his
tory contained in the Book of Nehemiah
covers about Z years, viz, from the 10Th
TO the 32nd year of Artaxerxes Longim-
anus, from B. G. 445 to ABB In respect to
language and style the book is very sim
liar to the Chronicles and Ezra Nehe-
miah has, it is true, quite his own man.
ner, and certain phrases and modes of
expression peculiar to himself. He has
also some few words and forms not
round elsewhere in Scripture; but the
general Hebrew style is exactly that of
the books purporting to be of the same
age. Some words occur in Chronicles,
Ezra and Nehemiah, but nowhere else.
The text of Nehemiah is generally pure
and free from corruption, except in the
proper names, in which there is consid-
cradle fuctuation in the photography,
both as compared with other parts of
the same book and with the same names
in other parts of Scripture, and also in
numerals. There is no question from it
In the New Testament, and it has been
comparatively neglected by both Greek
and Latin fathers.

There is SO much nonsense written
On How to raise poultry for profit
that finds its way into reliable farm
and poultry magazines that we often
wonder if they are the result of ex-
periences or for value received. One
tells US that hen can be made to lay
two to three hundred eggs in year
it all depends. Another gives us point
ers how to administer balanced ra-
tions containing concentrated egg pro-
ducers, ETC., to increase their laying
capacity Advice good only for those
who have plenty of money and time.

THE STORY.

A T LAST"
n Nehemiah uttered the words half
as a prayer of thanksgiving, and half
as an exclamation of surprise He
knew the time was coming when he
should return to Jerusalem, but when
the word had finally come from the
king that he should prepare to return
1t came almost as surprise to him.
Twelve years before he had made
the journey to Jerusalem, and during
two exciting, strenuous months he had
labored and caused the people to rear
the walls of Jerusalem. More than
once during that period had his life
been endangered, and many times did
it seem that the people would cease
the work because of fear of attack
But he had seen the work completed
In spite of the obstacles and dangers,
and then had come the word from his
king summoning him back to the pal
ace.
Troubled in heart he had obeyed
and had resumed his former duties in
the presence of the king. BY no
word which the king spoke to him did
he know that he trusted him less than
before he had gone to Jerusalem, but
somehow he felt that the old cordial
ity and confidence was lacking. He
knew that he had done nothing where
by the king might accuse him, and
feeling that there was nothing else
for him to do but patiently wait, he
continued his services to the king as
faithfully as in former times.
So he had continued through the
wears. How often his heart burned
within him to talk with the king about
his beloved Jerusalem and his anxiety
to see the gates of the city hung and
the place made strong against her en-
enlses from without, but he feared to
sneak lest the king might misunder-
stand him, and misconstrue his mo-
tives.
at viii come out all right" he had re-
assured himself during those long
wears De waiting. Surely, God can
bring it to pass. Zion shall yet be
restored Z
And ct last the king had spoken and
told him that he should return to Je-

SERMONETTE.

If as some of the best Bible
scholars believe there was a
. period Of IL years between the
building Of the wall of Jerusa-
lem and it's dedication, it is evil
dent that the enemies of NeheN
niah were able to delay, but not
, prevent, the final consummation
of the splendid mission for
which the devout Jew had set
himself apart.
We discuss this one uncertain
point of the book of Nehemiah
in our next weeks story. Here
we are to consider some of the
lessons to be learned.
A stronger and more deter
mined man than Nehemiah
might have accepted the long
delay and hindrance as evidence
that the work had been in vain,
after all, and that there was no
use struggling against such OPP
position.
But not so Nehemiah. The
faith which had given him the
strength to begin the work in
the face of seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles was the
same faith which kept him
steadfastIy looking to the fu-
ture when the way would open
for his return to Jerusalem.
There is no doubt that the
enemies of Nehemiah tried to
poison the mind of the king
with the thought that Nehemiah
was building the wall for per-
sonaI gain, and that he might
set himself up In a city and
kingdom of his own.
And perhaps during those
long years of delay the king was
testing Nehemiah out and striv-
ing to satisfy his own mind that
the charges which had been
made against his cupbearer
were groundIess. And he wait
ed and at last the way opened
up and the great dedication day
came.
But he who is commissioned
of God to the accomplishment of
a great work can wait with rare
grace, knowing that ultimately
the will of God will prevail.
Just as Nehemiah went about
the building of the wall so did
he 90 about the dedication.
Everything must be done in or
der and according to the law
OF his God.
Here again we see the rare
grace and strength Of the man
as he carefully works out the
details of all that great cere-
mony and its accompanying re-
form in the temple worship. He
had no selfish ends to serve,
nor pet ideas to carry out. His
work was to do Gods will.

In breeding turkeys, the hens are
much more valuable as mothers after
they are two years old, and should be
kept as long as they prove to be fairly
good layers. A turkey hen which be-
comes thoroughly accustomed TO the
ways Of the farm and the successful
handling of brood is worth more to
the breeder than a fgety, unreliable
pullet that hardly knows her own
business. Anyone who knows a tur-
key knows that to successfully raise
them they must be handled and man
aged by the mother hen.

In His Name

Wheresoever we be, whatsoever we
are doing, in all our work, in our busy
daily life, in all schemes and under.
takings, in public trusts, and in pri-
vate retreats, God is ever with us, and
all we do is spread before him. Let
us do then, our duty, as to the Lord.
Let the thought of his eye unseen be
the motive of our acts and words. Do
nothing you would not have him see.
Say nothing which you would nor
have said before his visible presence,
This is to do all in his name.
