Hymn.
Rescue the perishing,
Care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity from sin and
the grave.
Weep DER the erring one,
Lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to
save.
Prayer.
Redeem us, o Lord, from selfish
and thoughtless unheed of those who
are fallen on the Jericho roads
of these modern days. Where sin
has thrown down its soiled and
spoiled victims, may we not pass by
on the other side. But, like Jesus,
may we lift them up. Amen.
Text
"But Jesus took him by the hand,
and raised him up" Mark 9:27.
Some one Il think it was George
MacDopald) has said that the two
great articles of practical religion are
Look up, Lift up. Look up to God,
lift up your fallen fellowman. We
follow the thought of the Upward
Look of last week with that of the
Upward Lift this week.
So many forget this grace. So
many, of whom better things are to
be expected, pass by on the other
side, and leave the surrounded to
suffer on. If there be one thing very
needful today, il is that Christ's fol-
lowers shall care for those who are
down and out, enough 10 help them
up again.
And the uplift must not be tempo
rary. 1t is not accomplished by
baths and clothes and meals. These
are on the way to the real uplift.
But they are not it. Their relief is
temporary. The want will recur.
The real uplift cleanSeS with clean
sing that makes clean every whit; il
clothes with robes that are righteous
ness; and it feeds with Bread that
never allows hunger 10 gnaw again.
Give a man this, and he will care for
his own temporal outfit
The uplift is at its best when il is
personal in its touch. Those who
sustain, by their means, uplifting in
stitutionS, do well. All credit to
them. But if that is all, they and
those whom they help both miss
much. Jesus helped at first hand.
He did not hire an apostle TO do it
for Him. Jesus took him by the
hand and raised him up" We must
touch those whom we would really
lift up. J. M. B.

Does farming pay in Putnam county :
That is question very frequently asked
OF this editor, who is neither a farmer
nor the son of one. But he knows the
prosperous look when he sees it, and
can say of a truth that our Putnam county
farmers look prosperous. They also
spend considerable money and do other
things that would indicate that they are
pretty well satisfied with their lot. Then
occasionally crop example is made
public. Here is one we read in the
Hastings News: ]. F. Tenny has just
completed harvesting his hay crop. AT
ter harvesting his potato crop last April,
five acres of ground were narrowed over
and laid down smooth. "The Lord"
says Mr.. Tenny who is getting old and
religious, "did the rest" A growth of
grass sprang up and this is what he has
just harvested. There were 20 two horse
loads of ii which when perfectly dry
will weigh out notleSs than Is tons. AT
the present price of hay the crop is
worth $4,000 The cost of harvesting
was $40. The profit from the second
ciop on this five acres is $40. The first
crop-well the average yield of potatoes
is so barrels TO the acre, and the average
net price of the Tenny potato crop was
not less than So per barrel, or $3.50 for
the crop. Mr.. Tenny is an old settler.
If you doubt his prosperity, take look
at his posseSSions-hi home, his grounds
as you pass Federal Point.

The office of congressman at large
doesn't seem particularly attractive 10
the average Florida politician. Now
Claude L'Engle is not an average poll
tician; he iSa statewide man don't mix
this with the statewide prohibition idea)
and his ambition is TO serve his state and
country as a progressive in the senate.
Claude might use this office of congress
man at large as stepping stone TO the
senate. Ii is only two year office and
his term provided he secured the job
would expire at the same time as that of
Senator Fletcher OF course this plan
is offered merely as a suggestion 10 a
man who is really state, rather than a
mere district character-one whose first
born political ambition was TO serve in
the greatest legislative body on the
globe" an ambition the realization of
which was at least temporarily denied
him by a late Florida primary. Really
Claude ought to enter this congressional
largeness.
