CORN IS MIGHTY
SO SAYS PRESIDENT FINLEY OF
SOUTHERN H.,Il.WAE.

Ca;,le and Hogs and Increased
Attention to Stock Raising.

" " Finley. pres.den: OF the

hjs cordial indorsenent. declaring
Il 20 oe one o. the NOS. ke!pful
signs ot me times.
Nothing is more important 20 the
South than at increasing attention
20 raising food supplies at home
sai3 Mr. Finley and the first move
in this direction must be !r iacreas-
ing ;2e corn crop. South Carol:na's
e"o-iy along this line and the spleu-
iii results a.tai::sd have attracted
a--ioa:I a::ea::o3. bc:t IS 70 :he
gross production OF lie State and
the greater yield PEI acre. which has
resulted from the improved methods
OF culture now being used.
Il; is particularly aop-o2riats that
;hc great advances which have been
made IN this and adjoining States
should De celebrated by this coTn ex-
POSITION which vii! al the same time
show what has been done and the
great opportunities .oT further ad-
vaacemant that lie in the future. The
one great need OF the South just now
IS greater diversity in asricul:r-e.
More corn will mean more cattle
ard hogs. and increased attention
TO Ave stock raising will enable the
farmers 70 bring their lands 70 :

Make Religion a Reality.

Real religion must either be out
for business or go out Of business.
It must either make the world better,
be doing things for the ideals which
it sees, or acknowledge that tits moth
ing but a dream or a delusion. Now
when one is in the thick of. as big an
undertaking as religion. sets before
him. nothing less than the redemption
Of the whole world, he has no energy
left to wonder whether he is as good
as he ought to be.
The sickly saints are always worry
ing over their souls; their spiritual
livers are always out OF order be-
cause they are perpetually examining
them. They complain and groan' so
much that the ignorant, hearing
them, imagine religion to be a mourn
full affair. The pious hypochrondriacs
are so near to hypocrites that they
have the same effect on others.

"After Your Boy

One of the delegates to a State con
vention of Christian En%deavorers, a
young business man, dressed in a nat
ty rough-and-ready suit, every move
ment alert and eager, and telling OF
bottled energy within, came suddenly
upon a red-faced citizen who evident
ly had been patronizing the hotel bar.
Buttonholing the delegate a trife un-
tremendously, the latter said:
what are you fellows trying to do
down at the meetings? You are -
temperance, I see by the papers. Do
you think you could make a temper
ance man Of me-"
"No," replied the delegate. looking
him over from head to foot with a
keen glance, 1--WE evidently couldn't
do much for you, but we are after
your boy"
At this unexpected retort the man
dropped his ocular tone and said Sc
riously: well you have got the right
of it there. If somebody had been af-
ter me when l was a boy I should be
a better man to-day"

Russia end the Drink Evil.

M. Fuster, in L'Alcool, has this to
say Of the drink evil in Russia,
II have visited all the countries Of
Europe, and I can say that in nc part
have l seen SO many drunkards as in
Russia. On Sundays and on 'fete
days (of which there are more than
100 officially recognized, besides Sun
days) they are to be found every
where in towns and villages. On the
edges Of the footpaths, in corners of
the streets. one stumbles against men
dead drunk, sleeping a leaden sleep.
The police occasionally pick them up.
but more usually leave them to sleep
in peace. At Moscow I have often
seen peasants and workmen lying in
the dust, a bottle of vodka in their
shrivelled hands. In every street
there is an official place of sale, and
the people form up in a queue as at
the door of a theatre and pass in
with their empty bottle, and exchange
them for bottles full of liquor with
forty per cent. Of alcohol"

Nation Sells Indulgencies.

To-day the Government is a part
ner in the liquor traffic. This is its
shame. 1t Is a great stain, upon our
nations life. Somehow or other I'm
Gle Sam has been induced to buy out
a large share Of Old Nick's interest in
the business, and he finds it an -ex-
ceedingly profitable investment. if it
does impoyerish his people. His ;cof-
fers are full. His vaults are almost
bursting with accumulated millions Of
gold and silver. Every now and then
be must make new vaults to hold the
surplus. And he says to the liquor
men, GO on debauching manhood,
running health, dethroning reason,
peopling prisons, supplying gallows,
filing hell, but be careful to give me
every cent of my share of the pro-
fts!" ." ,
Thus the nation sells indulgencies
to sin. Thus it builds itself up with
the price of blood. Thus it estab-
fishes itself with the price Of ini-
guilty. Thus it places itself under the
woes of Almighty God. Thus it be-
comes particeps criminis in all the
denominations growing out of the
liquor business.

The Life of Christ,

The only life worth living is the
one of which Christ has left us an ex-
ample. Devoted to the service of 9TH
ers, full of that all co%nquering love
that is strong as death, it brings light
and happiness into dark places and
bears that sweet and blessed fruit
which is promised to all. Such a life
is neither tiresome nor even a cause
of regret, but finds grace before God
and man. May we all try to master
this wonderful art and life will be-
come more content, more interesting.
more productive of good from day to
day until at last it becomes a sweet,
harmonious song to the glory of ife's

And some, who helped me once to do Thy
will, -
Behold and praise Thee on the Heavenly
Shore.
Uphold my strength! My task is not yet
done.
Nor let me Mt the labor cease to sing,
But from the rising to the setting sun
Each faithful hour do service to my King.
Show me Thy light! Let not my wearied
eyes
Miss the fresh glory of life's passing day,
But keep the light of morn, the sweet sur
prise
Of each new blessing that attends my way.
And for the GROWING grace, o Lord, renew
The best of gifts Thy best of saints have
~. had; 49,. .
With the great joy of Christ my heart
endue .-
To share the whole worlds tears and still
be glad. 80.

Pleasing God.

But how easy it is to please God!
A tear, a sigh, a cry Of penitence; a
prayer for His mercy on the sinner;
a hunger for holier things; a tender
kindness to another; i cup of cold
water, a word. a LOOK, and hand Of
sympathy ard help; confiding trust
in His wisdom, power and love when
dark days come: a song of praise in
the night; self-denyins service Of the
needy ones. Such things please Him
very much, as do all efforts to be
more like His Son. and to extend His
kingdom. God makes great prom
ises to those that choose the things
that please Him.
