THE SOIL ROBBER

In American Conservation, Henry Wal
lace severely condemns "the robber of
the soil'' whose avowed purpose is to
skim the cream off the land. He farms
extensively. covering the greatest posi-
BILE number of acres with the minimum

lace notes that the soil robber has not
been farming in any true sense, but,
mining the stored Fertility of the ages,
and selling it at the bare cost of mining
During 20 years, according to the sta
tistics of the department of agriculture
The average yield per acre has been de-
Ginning. The farmer has been selling his
grain for less than the current value of
the essential elements of fertility in the
grain sold off the farm Mr.. Wallace
says however. that educational forces in
the last 10 years have occasoned slow
but steady rise in the acre yields,
There has been" he says, "a still
greater increase in prices both OF farm
products and farm lands. and the way
is now being prepared FOR the advent of
the real farmer, who will be neither the
the soil miner or the soil robber.

IN A DEN OF LIONS.
Daniel vi-Sept %.

The angel of the Lord eneampeth
round about them that fear Him. and
delivereth them."-Psalm xxxiv, {.
At the time of this study Daniel
was an old man. He had been long in
service, wise and faithful in his adj
ministration of the government en-
trusted to him. He had seen tne
Babylonian Dynasty perish In its
place came the empire of the Modes
and Persians. BY these also Daniels
grand character was recognized-his
loyalty to principle, his taithfuness
as public servant. his obedience to
God and the principles of righteous
ness. The new Universal Empire MAS
divided into one hundred and twenty
provinces with one hundred and
twenty governors. over these were
three presidents. Over these presi-
dents was King Darius, above whom,
as chief Emperor. was CYRUS. Daniel
was made one of the three presidents,
| because of his recognized integrity
and ability.
What Il compliment WAS thus paid
to this noble. consecrated jew. md
how tn" recognition Of his ability
marks the breadth of mind of some Of
| the rulers Of the past. Their desire
to have such a man in high reputo
and authority seems to evidence their
| good intentions in respect to the gov
erning of the world. Indeed, we be
/ ieve that this is true also of many
noble minded modern monarchs-th hat
| they give to their subjects the best
government of which they are capable,
| according 10 their own imperfect
| Judgments.
That which will specially mark Mes
siah.s Kingdom will be that IL will not
| only have perfect ideals in respect to
| human government. but that it will
| be backed by Divine Power. before

thai in the China-Japan war. con-

closely allied to government oiicialS,
and that the most shamefaced dis
honesty was practiced-for instance,
that wooden cannon were delivered
ard mounted upon Notifications, while
the contract money paid fer the gem

man like Daniel, in so important a
I place as that which he occupied as

grafters-a hinderer of their schemes.
| Realizing that he could not be deposed
| the next step was to find some fault

Prayed Three Times Daily.

Daniel heard of the decree but al
tered net his custom of praying three
times daily before window of his
house which looked out toward Jeru-
salem. Morning, noon and night he
remembered his God and his VOWS of
taithfulness to Him and called to
mind the gracious promises respect
ing the Holy Land. that it would yet
be the center of the whole earth and
Of Gods holy people; that eventually,
through these. Divine blessings would
be extended to every nation, people
and tongue.
Some one has remarked that as The
sharpening of scythes in harvest time
does not mean lost time or energy. SO
also time spent in PRAYER is not lost
as respects the affairs Of life. Tn
questionably the best men and women
in the world are those vile pra%. and
pray regularly. who bow the knee, as
cid Daniel. Unqucstionablv the mo-
mentS thus taken from earthly af-
fairs are well spent and bring more
than commensurate blessings upon the
uorshiper and all with which he has
to do. PROFESSIONALLY it is lnpos-
sible to live Il consecrated life in ne
slect of PRAYER. What would Daniel
have been without his praying time,
How would his faith IN Sod have per-
sisted in that heather land? How
would his loyalty to principle have
itself in the midst of cor
ruption had it not been for his COM
munion with his Maker? To the Chris
