as much work while raising the

Law Points For the Farmer.

The laws of most Of the states say
that farmers shall cut the weeds that
grow ON the public highway alongside
the farm, or the township may do it
at the land owners expense.
Statutes which allow the owner Of
land sold for taxes to redeem on pre-
scribed conditions are literally con-
strued in favor Of the right to redeem.

wonder if you or my father ever thought of
the obscurities that lie upon human duty from
the negative form in which the Ten Command
ments are stated, or of how Christ was so con-
tinually substituting affirmations. "Thou
shalt not" is but an example; 'TLou shaft is
the law of God. But what led me to the re-
mark is this: A kind of black angry look goes
with that statement of the law of negatives.
"To love ones neighbor as ones SELF is Ger
tainly much harder, but states life SO much
more actively, gladly and kindly, that you can
begin to see some pleasure in it; and till you
can see pleasure in these hard choices and Bit
ter necessities, where is there any Good News
to men! 1t is much more important to do
right than not to do wrong; further, the one is
possible. the other has always been and will
ever be impossible; and the faithful design to
do right is accepted by God; that seems to me
to be the Gospel, and that was how Christ de-
livered us from the Law. After people are
told that, surely they might hear more en-
couraging sermons; and since it is not in our
own strength. but by faith and perseverance
that we are to run the race, do not see where
they get the material for their gloomy dis
courses. Faith is not to believe the Bible, but
to believe in God; if you believe in God Tor
for it's the same thing, have that assurance
you speak about), where is there any more
room for terror? This Faith is the Gospel.
Once you hold the last, it is your business (1)
find out what is right in any given case, and
(2) try to do it.
1.-THE whole necessary morality is kindness:
and it should spring of itself from the one
fundamental doctrine, Faith. If you are sure
that God, in the long run, means kindness by
you, you should be happy: and if happy, surely
you should be kind"
Stevenson's emphasis is on kindness; how
much that word expresses Of the gospel spirit
