Pruning Large Limbs.

To ensure rapid healing in the plant
after pruning it is necessary that all
wounds should be left smooth. If it is
necessary to use q saw in removing a
large limb the cut surface should be
left smooth and clean, particularly
around the edges. The sharper the saw
the cleaner will the cut be and this
should in turn be made smoother by
the use of a pruning knife or a sharp
cbisel. as the healing process starts
quicker and progresses more rapidly
when this precautiOn is observed. 1t
frequently happens that in order to OBJ
tain the best results in removing large
branches. two cuts should be made. The
limb may be sawed off Is inches or 2
feet above the point Of its origin in
order to prevent splitting down and
tearing off considerable part of the

when people praise us and bow down
before US. We have not learned the
greatness Of humility Nor have we
learned the further greatness of ser
vice. Our Lord and Master was SER
want Of all. The poorest and the hum
blest could command Him. He went
about looking for the people that need
ed Him. Worldly ambition makes Us
look at men in other lights. They are
beggars to be ignored, they are tools
to be used, they are rivals to be
crushed. But the spirit Of service puts
them all in one class. They are broth
ers to be loved and helped.
Who. then, is greatest? The man
who does the greatest amount Of good.
Helpfulness is the highest quality of
human life. Service is the browning
glory of man. All honor to him who
floods the world with great affection,
who stirs the world with great
thoughts, who moves the world to deeds
Of heroism.
Service is the thing that lasts long
est. It has an earthly Immortality.
When our names have persisted and our
memory is forgotten, the good deeds
we have done Will live on. Charity
never faileth.' The beauty Of the
beneficial deed, the widows two mites,
the alabaster box Of ointment, Sir
Philip Sidney's cup Of cold water, the
passing shadow Of Florence Nightin-
gale, which the dying soldier strove to
kiss; these are pictures which this
world. bad as it is, will not let fade
The suns Of centuries rise and set upon
them.
The beauty Of this ideal of service is
that 1t is Within the reach Of all Ev-
cry city IS full of poverty, suffering.
ignorance, degradation. Everywhere
our brothers lie before us as of old
they lay before the eternal Christ, most
miserable, but most noble. They need
our help and they are worthy Of it.
Their hearts will thrill with new life
at the touch Of kindness and they will
rise and stand upon their feet.
Jesus Christ offers the world a new
road to greatness. He travelled it Him

land. His name is above every name
There is no other way. You cannot
rise by cunning and deceit. You can
not gain a success worth having by
selfshness. But if you follow Him you
will win the favor of man and God
and leave the world at last a little bet
ter than you found it.

A deadhead is almost sure to be a

The way to kill love is to count on

He who lives in a cave is always
sure as to the sun.
Many a tailored suit covers a lot of

No man ever spoke truth without
hearing its echo in heaven.
Repentance is always lame without
restitution and reformation.
The church does not lead folks to
heaven by looking like a funeral.
A mans religion goes no deeper than
the big potatoes in his bushel.
Religion is always bad bargain to
the man who tries to get it cheap.
The man who brags of his humility
is equally proud Of his consistency.
It's hard to go on singing, Take my
silver and my gold" after you get some.
Citizenship in heaven will not exempt
you from either taxes or service here.
The cleaning up of society usually

The steps downward are so many

When you get after the profits of OPP

THE GREATEST MAN.

By Rev. Thomas Reed BTidg
Who is the test?-Matthew
xviii, !.
Our Lord does not condemn ambition,
but He defines its true object. True
ambition, according to Christ, Is dlstln-
Suished by humility and service. The
first quality demands that we be uncon-
scious of self The second demands
that we be conscious Of others.
Early in His ministry Jesus uttered
the beatitude. Blessed are the meek.
Now to these ambitious disciples He
said. "You must humble yourselves
and become as little children" Meek
ness is thought by many to be the same
as weakness. 1t is, on the contrary,
the uoblest kind Of strength.
Men cling to the idea of personal I'M

while coming home from a scout
this forenoon we called at a house by
the roadside and found couple of la
dies, quite young, and one as handsome
as a Hebe. They were secesh to the
back bone and each had 'lovyer' in

to pick his way back to the York River,

her we would take care of her good

that she should have an opportunity
