Q.-Please explain Jeremiah ii, II. 13??
What are the heavens referred to; and
what do the ''broken cisterns that can
hold no water represent? (B. S. Al
Answer.-Evidently the Prophet is using
highly symbolic language to convey his
thoughts. The larger portion of the
prophecies of the Bible is put forth in
figurative expressions and in parallels
and dark sayings, for they were not in
tended of the Lord to be understood until
at the time of their fulfillment. The
heavens would symbolic the spiritual
ruling powers as represented in the min
istry and clergy who compose the &c
clesiastica1 or Spiritual powers of the
various religious systems water" is
frequently used in the Scriptures to sym
bolize the truth-the Lords word. The
time would come, therefore, as foretoId
by the Prophet, when the Lords pro
Tossing people" Christians, would for-
sake the Lord and His Word, and would
chew out or fashion for themselves els
terms or receptacles to hold the muddy
waters of the traditions of men. Inc
creeds and religious systems are IN
very dilapidated and broken state ana
wholly incapable of holding the waters or
the truth. The old effete systems or the
past are breaking up and are aosolutely
useless so far as holding the waters OF
the truth are concerned

Foolish folk who diSparage religion
simply do not think things through.
The first and most important asset OF
any community is the church. An ex-
traordinary illustration of the recoG-
milton of this truth on the part of even
the irreligious was told me by a gen
tlenan who had first-hand knowledge
of the facts. His home mission board
received a letter from a man in a
sum of money! cannot be certain
whether It was two or five hundred
dollars-toward the establishment of a
church. A representative of the board
was sent to the scene to investigate.
He was nonplussed to find that the
town consisted of only one saloon
the rendezvous of the neighboring COW
boys. He carried the letter to the pro-
prietor and inquired, rs there any Sucn
person in this neighborhood.' To his
astonishnent, the saloonkeeper replied
Yes, I wrote that letter, and 1 am
ready to back it up with the money.
You see if we could only put church
here it would attract settlers with fam
lilies and we would be sure of the towns
growth. OF course as the town grows,
SO does my business, and I can afford
to contribute this much money to make
the town grow That man recognized,
in a crude. selfish way, that prosperity
follows in the wake of religion. GodlI-
ness is profitable for two worlds There
is a real estate value in the proximity
of church building.
Simply stated, home missions Is
nothing more nor less than the insur-
ing that the message and power of.
Christianity are placed within the
reach of everybody in the land.

Q.-Luke xviii, g. Nevertheless when
the Son Of man cometh shall He find
faith on the earth?'' Is it the mountain
moving faith that will be lacking? Please
explain. "a. c. ID
Answer.-A word for word rendering
from the Oldest Greek manuscripts of the
question given above is as follows: But
the Son of the man coming, indeed, will
He find the faith on the earth?'' The
faith in the text would have the mean
ing of system of belief or doctrines, as
expressed in the Bible statement, Tho
faith once delivered to the saints The
Masters words imply that the existence of
the true faith at the time of His second
coming would be somewhat doubtful The
Lords words are remarkably fulfilled in
the conditions of the present day. We see
that, owing to the hundreds of conflict
ing creeds and doctrinal systems; the
many 'isms,'' and the strong delusions
and multiplied errors; SO that if it were
possible the very elect would be deceived;
not many are holding to the true faith
only the 'very elect" (Matthew xiv, 24)
The object of the Lords return is to put
aside all of the evil and the error, and to
fill the whole earth with the true faith
and knowledge of God and thus to bring
about the blessing of all mankind

Neeus ~ Puppyoom.

Growing pups need three things
food, room and sunlight. When first
weaned, they should be fed milk,
gruels and soups FIVE times day and
the number of meals gradually les
sened and the amount Of solid food
gradually increased till at a. year old
they are fed the same as their older
kennel companions. The more room
puppies have, the better they are. This
is probably the reason that puppies
farmed out always do much better
than those kennel raised They may
get all sorts of food, and they certain
ly do not get the attention given the
ones in the kennels, but a farm-raised
youngster is always healthier, bigger
and stronger. Sunlight acts on
puppies as II does on grow
ing plants. Winter pups are pro-
verbally more troublesome than
those born in the spring. Most
fanciers, therefore, see to 1t that their
brood bitches whelp only in the spring
One litter a year is enough to ask of
any terrier-William Haynes, In Out

Plea for Walnut Trees.

Various districts in Germany are pc
titioning the forest department to res
cue the walnut trees of the country
from the gradual extinction which
threatens them. In times when the
land was less thickly populated it was
customary for farmers and large land
owners to- plant walnut trees on their
properties and along the roads, but
modern science has taught that not
only is the shade thrown by the
spreading tree tops uEfavorable to
profitable cultivation, but that GER
tain amount of fannie acid is con-
tanned in the nuts and injuriously af
fects the soil on which they fall. The
natural result of the decrease in the
number of walnut trees is a rise in
price of the timber, and whereas in
the COS a cubic meter of the wood
cost from 81 to $12 it now costs from
$50 to 500
