RURAL SCHOOL HAS MISSION
Where One BusheI of Corn Grew Be-
fore TWO Are Now Secured by Meth
DDS Just Brought Out.
DIV RAY P. SPEARS

(By RAY P. SPEAR.)
The training of country children to
grow two bushels of corn where one
bushel grew before is commendable
thing. To bring this about many
changes may be made in the pro-
grams of most country schools. Arith-
metic problems may be worked out in
terms OF corn and potatoes and COWS.
Reading may be largely confined to
the subjects of interest to country
boys and girls. Essays on farm top
les may be written in place Of the
usual parsing and other grammar
work. This will lay a foundation for
much practical work in the later
years of school life.
Older students trained in the ele-
mentary principles of agriculture
could conduct termination tests of
corn and grain. Herds could be test
live stock records could be kept Of
poultry. garments could be made for
home, and the art of cooking could be
cultivated. These and many other
practical things could be worked out
with the school house as center.
Added to this is the social pleasure
that could be obtained by everyone in
the community when a permanent in
terest in the school was established.
Basket socials. evening entertain
ments, picnics, school house fairs, lee
lures, and moving pictures would
make the rural school real factor
in the social improvement of the
school district. The country school
has mission which should not be
neglected.

STRENGTHENING the church.

When we build home we do not
destroy society; when we strengthen
a church we do not weaken Christi
anity. There is no greater danger to
society than the loosening of the ties
OF the home, and Christianity is in
peril when we lose our UNCONVENTIONAL
self-respect. An efficient army is
made up of efficient units correlated.
But no man has a right to build a
home, unrelated to his neighbor. Nor
can he build real home that Is not
In some measure exclusive OF his
neighbor. Even more is this true of a
church; the church is here to supply
human need, it is justified only as it
supplies some human need, and to full
I'LL its mission it must be distinc-
tive, 1t must have character and pur.
pose all its own; it must stand for
something. and then 1t must fit itself
for efficiency by mobilizing and
Strengthening and inspiring its forces
to do the work set for 1t to do. I'm.
less a church has some distinctive
work to do, it has no right to live. If
it has distinctive work to do it must
make itself strong enough to do it.
And in doing it's own peculiar work in
its own way, to the best of its ability.
1t is helping every other church and
the general cause. Sectarianism is a
crime; denominatipnalism is virtue.

Doing the Will.

SONS from which spring the fruitage
of the true Christian life. Without
them life is a barren and hopeless
thing; with them 1t is raised into the
heavenlies, even here on earth. To
walk by divine guidance rather than
by our own self-promptings- doing
the win of God, according to our
knowledge, walking by faith and not
by sight, that is the Christians part.
AS one great thinker has put it, rs
not this the life of faith, which walks
by your side from your rising in the
morning to your lying down at night
which lights up for you the cheerless
world, and transfigures all that you
encounter, whatever be its outward
form, with hues brought down from
heaven" That is the life of faith IN

Ing with love. And no such life can
ever fail when it is energized by that
grace which was in Christ our Lord

we must face two or three plain ques-
tons as to matters of fact.
Is Christ the same as he was then?
Is he able to do now what he did
then? Are we in the same condition
of need-difhc habits, sins? How
far may expect help from Jesus?
IL Gods word shows me what Jesus Is
able to do, will trust him for It, as
men and women did thenf The study
of the story and of the entire word
Of God will give me an Affirmative
answer to all these questions except
the last one-that l must answer for
myself; for it is still true that, al
though Jesus Is able to save to the
uttermost, he can save only those
who come to God by him and who Will
accept the healing power Of the Great
Physician.
The gospels tell Us OF many varfe-
ties of sickness dealt with by Jesus;
these are all types OF sin and of
Christ's power to heal. Take four
typical Illustrations: Leprosy, or the
guilt and defilement of sin; palsy, or
the impotence Of sin; fever, or the
or the slavery of sin.
Or, take three typical cases from
the gospel according to st. Luke:
% SIT, palsied limbs; (2) 6:6-t0,
the withered hands; (3) 13:1o-13. the
touchdown woman. In all these
cases Jesus not only healed the body
but he stands forth as able to heal
the sin of which the bodily ailment
is a type. No case is too hard for
Jesus. His diagnosis Is thorough and
correct; his treatment is appropriate
uttermost." There will be no need
to come again. He cures in different
ways, but always with perfect under
standing and with satisfactory re-
suits.
The man at the Beautiful Gate of
the temple expected only aims from
Peter and John, but he got what was
of surprising quality and yalue-heal-
ing. in the name and through the
power of Jesus of Nazareth. "And
they were filed with wonder and
amazement at that which had hap
pened unto him." That hoAr of
prayer became an opportunity for the
manifestation Of the power CT Jesus
Christ, an unexpected blessing to the
lame man, and the occasion OF great
sermon by Peter. How graciously
and generously God deals With us!
Exceedingly abundantly above all
that we ask or think" Not aims, but
healing; not silver, but salvation; not
gold, but grace and gladness; not out
side, begging. but beyond the Beau
tiful Gate, inside the temple, walk
ing, and leaping, and praising God. .
Is Christ the same today? Can he
do that work of forgiveness and sane
LITIGATION now? And is he willing to
do 1t? Thousands can testify and say

Trust in God.

But / trusted in thee, o Lord; l
said, thou art my God. My times are
In thy hand."-Ps. 81, IA.
There are times" which are not
easy for us to recognize as being in
Gods hand, and by Gods appoint
ment. When the trial which affiicts
us is from the direct agency of man,
it requires no common stretch of faith
to look up and away beyond the hui
man agency, to the high will of him
who orders all things concerning our
good and to say my times are in thy
hand" 1t was thus with David when
he uttered this In faith; he was one
who suffered all his life long from
the malice of enemies. His psalms
constantly testify to this, but they
still more aver his full trust in God.
And what David says, let US, too. say.
Let US look beyond man, and see God
working for US and dealing with US.
II we trust him we shall ere long
praise him as David in this psalm.
90 how great is thy goodness which
thou hast laid up for them that fear
thee; which thou hast wrought for
them that trust In thee before the
sons OF men"
