PROFITABLE DAILY TITHING.
"DaiIy Heavenly Mamma"

This little book is having the largest
circulation of any of its kind and is
conceded by Christians everywhere to
be the most helpful.
If Christians allow the rush and
crush of selfish ambition to deprive
them of their daily portion Of heaven
ly food, they must not be surprised if
they grow spiritually leaner day by
day, and if the peace of God gives
place in their hearts to the discomfort
which is growing in the world, not
withstanding the multiplication Of our
comforts and privileges
Daily HeaUenIy Mama contains col
lection Of Scripture texts with appro-
pirate quotations for every day in the
year. Surely the little 1.-THE of time
daily spent in partaking of it's morsels

to do good-not for profit
Your Friends Birth Dates.
An autograph and birthday record
feature in this book is a great convent
ence. Opposite each day of the year
are blank lines upon which you can
secure the autographs Of your friends
and be reminded Of their birthdays as
they occur. This makes the book more
valuable yearly. In ten years you
would not sell it for ten dollars.
Besides it has a place for Birth Rec
ords, Marriage Records and Death Rec
ords. Also it has a table showing the
day OF the week of any date for one
hundred and fifty years.

the parents reside ''p " '
great possibilities respecting the good
or evil of their children. This respon-
sibility should be felt in mating-be-
fore marriage. We are not urging that
marriage should be put upon the same
plane as stock breeding. and the finer
sentiment disregarded; but we do claim
that the spirit of a sound mind should
be sought in connection with the most
important contract Of life, affecting
not only the destiny and happiness Of
the pair, but also Of their offspring.
Is it any wonder that children are
born nervous and peevish when we
know that the mother in bearing them
was fretted and annoyed in thousand
ways? Is it any wonder that children
are born to heritage Of passion, anger
and lust, when we think of the expert
ences Of their mothers which are thus
impressed upon them? Surely all par
ents Of reasonable judgment, under
standing these matters, would lay prop
er foundations for character in their
children-foundations upon which, sub
sequently, they would patiently, care
fully and lovingly develop their chill
dren along the lines Of the highest
standards of righteousness and the
beauty of holiness and loyalty to the
Creator! But while this should be the
endeavor of all, when could we hope
ever to bring the world into a condi-
ton to desire and strive for such re-
suits? Never! Hope for the world
would die were it not based upon the
sure Word of the Lord, which prom
Uses mankind help from on High in the
great Kingdom Of Messiah.
The Valley Of Hinnom
King Manasseh reintroduced idolatry,
built affairs for the worship Of Baal in
the courts Of the temple, used enchant-
ments and communicated with evil
spirits. The punishment for idolatry
was not eternal torment, be it noted;
that erroneous view came to us during
the Ozark Ages" We are getting back
to a better understanding of God and
His Word.

trous decisions, it is recorded in verse

TOWN AND COUNTRY
By SAW OYARD

The Honorable Porter J. McCumber. of North Dakota, may be classed as of the heavy artillery of the United States Senate. He is a standpat republican from a distinctively agricultural state, and holds that a. tariff, whereby the farmer is taxed to protect the manufac- turer, is the cornerstone and the cap stone of all intelligent and patriotic state craft He is an exceedingly ponderous senator, is the Hon. McCumber. His manner Is as solemn as the town clock and his voice as grave and impassive as a funeral procession. Reciprocity with Canada he looks on as a thief coming at night to steal away the gospel of tar If privilege, and so he fought 1t as the coquettish and still handsome widow combats the first gray hair.
 His argument is that reciprocity with out northern neighbor. who pays higher wages than we, will utterly bankrupt the American grain grower. and 1t would thus follow that if Canada were annex ed to, our glorious union there would be no more seed time or harvest for the present grain states. William Alden Smith, who is "a orator. when in the House of Representatives, declared that Cuban reciprocity would utterly undo this country, though the result showed that it was of imemnse advantage to both Cuba and the United States.
 In his doleful speech against Canadian reciprocity the Hon. McCumber deliv- cred himself of the following demagogic poppycock:
 'I start out in this argument with a conviction that never within the period of recorded history, never since cities were known, has the tiller of the soil
 lived on a plane of equality measured bv comforts, luxuries. or opportunities, with the dwellers of the cities, and that the wealth and greaur of the cities of today represent a tribute exacted from the tillers of the soil I have the abiding conviction that there is wrong to be righted, and that it cans only be lighted bv increasing the profits of country occu- pations to an extent that they will equal the profits of city occupations and trades so far as governmental agency can prop erly and constitutionally bring about such result.'

On the contrary, there are not as many. lived 40 years in the country and 16 in the city, and speak from personal observation and personal experience.
