JESUS AND THE GRAFTERs.

By Rev. w. A. Bartlett.
On one occasion only did Jesus
Christ resort to violence in His three
years ministry. 1t was when He came
In from the hill country to Jerusalem
and found the temple, the center of
religion, surrounded by grafters. These
men were making a fat living by the
sale of sacrifcial animals at eXtortion-
ate prices and exchanging money for
temple coin at rates that would salts
fv the most thrifty tourist or steam
ship agencies of the present day. The
Lords Indignation was so great that
He personally tipped over the tables
of the money changers and, making
whip of cords, drove these parasites
from the courts. This splendid eNhi-
bition of authority on the part OF
stranger, who made the horde of traf-
fickers take to their heels. revealed not
only the divine nature OF the Master
but shows that one man with right on
his side may put to flight an army of
dishonest creatures who Subsist on
their fellows.
Graft is as old as Egypt-old rs the
annals OF man. 1t is more low and
disgusting in these days because men
sin against the greater light. In the
wonderful Passion Play, as given at
Oberammergau, Bavaria, the great
mob which cries out Cruelty Him"
while melted by the priests, is made
up of these same traders, who never
forgot that their unholy business was
destroyed by One who said: Take
these things hence; make not my
Fathers house a house OF merchan-
disc" II was graft that crucified
Jesus. hand in hand with corrupt
priesthood
The church of to-day may not be
under the accusation OF graft. 1t is
undoubtedly purer. But men ought 10
regard business and their dealings
with society as sacred as any obIiga-
ton. Nothing can be more deprayed
and reveal such lost condition Of
soul as this attempt to live off of
others, to deal dishonesty, TO get
money without earning it.
There are TWO ways TO deal with t.,
and both are necessary. First, the
whip of cords for those who are be-
yond redemption. They are to De
driven forth with all the indignation
of an aroused public conscience Jesus
did not wait for these temple grafters

VISIONS FROM HEAVEN.
Bv Rev. A. Z. Bvron-Ct

oy xSCN "a -. sA~'
ext.-"Whereupon, o King Agrip-
pa, I was not disobedient unto the
heavenly vision. Acts 26: 10.
In all ages there have been three
kinds of persons in respect to visions.
Those who never see any; those who
think they do. and those who really
and truly do. st. Paul was one OF
those who really saw vision. In his
1mpassioned Grafton before King
Agrippa we are given TO understand
that he positively saw vision from
heaven. and that the same changed
the whole course of his life. In the
middle of the day, while on a journey,
he and his company We're overcome by
a supernatural event. They all fell
TO the ground. A positive order,
command, was given to st. Paul by
the voice of God, to follow a positive
and certain line Of duty. He followed
in. 1t the course of few years his
obedience to the command of that
vision brought him into the presence
of King Agrippa before whom he made
the remarkable speech from which our
text Is taken. He recounted the events,
and in the outburst of oratory In the
presence of that heather king, the
meat and kernel of it all is contained
in our text. "Whereupon, O King
Agrippi, I was not disobedient unto
the heavenly vision" He was not a
coward, he was not a moral or intel
lectual weakling. He just faced his
duty as it was pointed out to him
and was thus enabled, not to boast. but
TO point TO it as proof of his haV-
ing had the vision.
Will not deny that common and
obscure people may receive visions
from heaven such as [ have not, and
may never see. But | want to tell
YOU this. that all visions from heaven
do not come out of the clouds, or from
the ethereal space above us. No Any
call to duty and bidding of you or me
TO do special work for God, or the
church or for our fellow man is the
voice of God, vision from heaven,
calling to us. The church calling us,
through our pastors, by its holy sea-
sons. by its principals. God calls us
in the voice of opportunity, through
the voice of opportunity at our elbow,
through the voice of conscience, which
is the voice of God.
Don't be waiting for a call from
out of the clouds ere you wake up
and go TO work. That has happened
to but a few persons in entire hlstorf
o. time. The only reason st. Paul
was called as he was, was because
there was particular and divine work
for him to do There have been but
few people called as he was, or for
that matter with a supernatural Wis
ion as was he.
The only reason you haven't been
called as was he, is because the oppor-
tunities for service and duty for you
are plain and can be discerned by your
natural eye, recognized by the force OF
your own inner conscience.

Other posts may be easily reset with,
out interfering greatly with the fence
but this Is not the case with either
of the bracers. The AKA running from
the top of one post to the base of the
other should be well selected as con
siderable stress is placed upon it. It
is best to mortise the ends of the cross

DoNTs FOR cHuRcHMEN.

Don't expect mans wind in church
to give clew to his weight outside.
Don't fail to strive to get more in
YOUR work than YOU hope to get by it.
Don't overlook the fact that some big
aspirations may be smaller than a
little act.
Don't forget that the discovery OF
the things that really matter is happi.

Don't overlook the fact that many
present problems are past follies get

Where help can be obtained to oper-
ate the dairy, milk production Is one
of the best paying branches of animal
husbandry. The farmers operating
tbeir holdings with mich COWS are
enabled to market all the roughage
and grain produced on the farm In
milk. butter, cream or cheese. The
dairy industry is especially adapted to
h,,i,d nm and increase the fertility of

ers because the farmer realizes a

Tungsten Lamps for Farms.

The introduction of tungsten lamps
is doing much to advance the use OF
electricity on farms. 1t is possible for
the farmer with small plant driven
either by a gasoline engine or by
damming a small stream, to obtain
sufficient current to light his house
and barn with this economical type OF
incandescent lamp. The use Of cleo
tricity on the farm. by the way, is
growing, and, as pointed out by the
Electrical World, farmers will in time
come to consider electricity neces-
sfty. Then it will be found prohtaole
to establish central generating stations
for farming districts to take the place
Of the small individual plants now he
ing installed.

Live stock Builds Up Land.

1t is very we'll known that in the

where land has been under cultivation
for 1000 years there is an increasing
tendency to expand live stock indus

husbandry is wonderful help in not
only maintaining the fertility Of the
soil, but also live stock industry
builds up the land. Germany now has
10,967 900 milk COWS, an increase OF
100000 in the past seven years. The
total number of cattle in the empire
aggregates 20,631 900, gain Of nearly
100000 since 1888. Pigs total %

Men as yet do not know exactly

better proof of that than the wordy
warfare which is continually being
waged by women themselves on the
subject of suffrage Some Of the wo-

Some Of them feel it is their right

that they have more than their hands
full in governing the home and the
