LENT A TIME FOR MEDITATION.
Bv Rev. J. w. Roberts

The Lenten season is season wide
~ regarded as an appropriate time for
exercising the spirit of self-denial, de-
votion, meditation and prayer. What
is the message such a season brings
to us, and especially just now? What
is the voice to which we should give
heed? I think it is not so much the
call of the public veal as the call Of
the individual life, the voice OF our
better angel in the soul.
Lent should be a sitting time. d
time when we should thoughtfully
consider our own religious obligations,
our own personal relation to God, the
infinite source OF wisdom strength
and power. No man is living up to
the best there is in him who does
not welcome the thought of self-exam-
ination and appraiSement. To many
the Lenten. season means the accepta
Die time for this purpose. In these
days of feyerish excitement there is
certainly danger of neglecting the de-
velopment of our inner, spiritual life
and fostering a mistaken idea of the
true relationship between man and his
Maker We should try to live in such
a state of intense desire and longing
toward the Infinite Father as to read
lily respond to His will. making our
selves available to Him as mediums
for carrying out His purpose in the
world This we can do to the extent
of and in proportion to our spiritual
deyelonment Meditation is essential
to this spiritual progress.
Lent is not a time for discourage
ment because of the fact that so many
purpose of their life by the allure
people are led away from the higher
ments which best their path. 1t is
more especially a time for personal
scrutiny; time for considering where
we personally stand rather than the
wants and necessities of the multitude
And, in any case, the way to uplift
the body polite is to uplift the indi-

Stray in Manure.

Owing to it's abundance, straw is
added to barnyard manure, but it can
be made more serviceable if made fine
with the feed cutter before being used.
While straw may soon rot after being
mixed with manure, yet in a fine con-
dition it is a much better absorbent
and can be forked into the manure
with advantage. When loading and
spreading manure there is saving OF
labor when handling that which is
fine, and the manure will be more val
liable because the loss of ammonia
will be arrested by the use OF suitable
absorbent materials

HYMNS AND THEIR AUTHORS

lS4Sl is the author of the hymn which is
the best known of all those written by
women. She was the daughter of the ed
ltor of the Cambridge Intelligencer and
was married to William B. Adams, a cele-
brated engineer and inventor. Though
written as recently as 1910, this hymn
of the ten great hymns of the Christian
church. In the United States it Woulc
be impossible to find a hymnal from
which it is omitted. This may be due, III
part. to the tune TO which it was set by
the father of American church music, DR.
Lowell Mason. Bethany" is welded TO
the hymn here, while in England, where
it is sung to other tunes, it is not nearly
SO well known. Written by an English
woman, this hymn has been carried to all
parts of the world by American travellers
and American missionaries have trans.
lated it into the tongues of the strange
tribes in all lands
Nearer. my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee,
Fen though it be a cross
That raiseth me;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
Though like the Wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams III be
Nearer, my God, to thee.
Nearer to thee.
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy given:
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee.
Or if on joyful wing,

Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
