full to other people Lot was twenty
years in Sodom, and he never saved
soul that we know of. If he had
brought one soul to God in each of
these twenty years, Sodom would not
have persisted. There was no man in
the Old Testament that compared with
Daniel as one who witnessed to God.
Not only were Daniels enemies COM
PEELED to confess that he was fault

the God of Daniel; Daniel compelled
Darius to confess to the reality Of Je-

rich your spiritual experience, and

SONGS IN THE NIGHT.
By Rev. James Nudge, D. D.

BY rev. James muQEG1 ~. ~"
But none saith, where is God my
Maker, who giveth songs in the
night?'-Job 1910.
The night of grief and pain comes
to all. Soon or late, more or less, we
What shall we do with it? Defeat,
devastation, peace, triumph-which
will we have2 The Almighty is fully
able to make his children victorious
over all their trials, turning them into
means of grace for which hearty
thanks can most fifty be given. 1t is
possible not merely to bear them with
patience and resignation, but to re-
joice greatly at the glorious results
therein wrought.
We may raise to God, in the night of
affection, song of trust. We may say
Though He STAY me, yet l will trust
in Him." Although the fig tree shall
not blossom, neither shall there be any
fruit in the vine, yet l rejoice in the
Lord, will Joy in the God of my sal
Walton" The song of trust necessarily
becomes also song of Joy and hope,
of peace and contentment. We find
that our burden is our boon, that what
breaks our trust in the creature en-
ables us to lay hold on the Creator,
and that this is a most blessed ex-
change. 1t is only in the dark valley
that we thoroughly learn to sing with
the Psalmist II will fear no evil, for
Thou are with me-" 1t is only when 1t
&c
stars shine out. Darkness shows US
worlds Of light we never see by day"
and never could see.
Do we sometimes, in moment Of
fierce temptation or anguish, feel like
saying, Lord, take away paint" II
so; brief reflection shows us the folly
of it. For, as Browning says, Put
pain from out the world, what room
were left for thanks to God, for love
to MANI" Pain is the greatest of
Gods teachers By it we learn sympa-
thy with others. Without it we should
be hard and cold and selfish, self-con-
tanned, self-centered self-conce1ted.
Unspeakably precious lessons of broth
erhood and heipfulness come from our
pangs and our prostrations, our faults
and our failures. What a mercy is
physical pain which warns us that
something is out of order in the body
and needs attention, thus preventing
our sudden dissolution. Nor is it
otherwise with pain mental, which
calls a halt in our proud career Of
self-sufficiency, throws us back on our
fellows, equips us for service, puts US
into the way of communion with Cod
companionship with Jesus. 1t has
wonderful compensations. THE deep
est griefs have hottest ministries"

DoN,Ts FOR cHuRcHMEN.

Don't forget that fanaticism is a
germ of zeal and falsehood.
Don't lose hope of your brother lest
you lose faith in your Father.
Don't forget that he has ceased to
live who does not long for more life.
Don't mistake the faith that is anx-
ious to kill for the faith that is ready
to die.
Don't become deluded by the feeling
that you are raising yourself by de-
spising others.
Don't imagine that the suffering OF
the saints under the sermon augments
their grace.
Don't overlook the fact that to know
yourself may prevent some lies if it
does not reveal all truth,
Don't forget that fool seeking wis
dom is better than wise man salts
fed with what he has.
Don't fail to observe that neigh
boris reputation is often improved by
giving the imagination rest.

Lord, for tomorrow and it's needs
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain Of sin
Just for to-day.
Help me to labor earnestly
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Father, to-day.
Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set thou seal upon my lips
Through all to-day.
Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season gay;
Let me be faithful to thy grace,
Dear Lord, to-day.
And if, to-day, this life of mine
Should ebb away,
Give me thy sacrament divine,
Father, to-day.
So for tomorrow and it's needs
| do not pray;
Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord
Through each to-day.

Age of Usefulness.

The period of hens usefulness de-
Ponds altogether on the hen. While
The first year is usually the best for
egg production, it IS not always the
case, some hens laying better the sec
ond year. But, as a rule, one will get
the greatest number of eggs from a
given number of fowls by having the
puUets Matched early. March and
April are the best months, so as to get
them laying early in the fall, and
change them each year, disposing of
the fowls when they cease laying to go
through the melting process.

Unique Door for the Pigpen.

Unique Door 1Or the FlSpens
A very convenient way of feeding
pigs was observed in the swinehouse
Of a prominent breeder, an arrange
ment that made the tridaily feelings
a matter of so little difficulty that a
child could place the feed before a
pen of unruly noses.
The front of each pen was hinged
at the top swinging downward against
the farther sides of the uprights, as
here shown, the weight of the door
being sufficient to hold it in place. On
the front of the door Is a vertical bar
with pin through the top, as here
shown. This is held in place by Two
wooden blocks notched out to admit
Of the bars sliding up and down, the
blocks being bolted to the door. II
desired the home blacksmith could
easily shape a piece of iron to perform
the same duty.
AT feeding time the bar is lifted and
the door swung in past the trough,
directly beneath. Then the bar is
dropped, thus holding the door back
Of the trough. This keeps the hungry
mob on the other side of the door
while the feeder takes his time to
clean the trough, if need be, and to
pour IN the feed. A few transverse

Testing Poultry for the Table.

Some experts in choosing poultry for
the table depend upon testing the
breastbone, but sometimes dealers
break this on purpose, then you are
out. In a young chicken or goose the
cartilage in the breastbone will bend
easily. If the bird is year old it
will be brittle, and in an old fowl
will break before it will bend to any
amount To make this test, take the
end of the breastbone farthest from
the head and make the attempt to
bend 1t to one side. If it is young it
will bend easily to either side.

Keeping Milk Utensils Clean.

Discard the dishcloth and the dish
towel when the milk utensils are being
washed. Wash them in warm water
first, with plenty of some washing
compound, and use a brush to do the
work, but never rag. Get into every
part Of them, after which rinse off
with clean warm water, and then
either put them in boiling water or
pour boiling water over them. Stand
the parts up so they will drain and
use no cloth to wipe them. The hot
surface will dry them quickly, and
they will be clean. Leave the parts in
a sunshiny place if possible.

Beef and Dairy Cattle.

When a dairyman has faced the ac-

herd for beef he will not feel encour-
aged over the outlook of combining
beef and dairy qualities in the same
herd. There is a popular prejudice
against eating beef from an old, played
out dairy COW, and there is no advan-
tage in trying to combine the two
qualities in one animal.
