Scrptura Evidences That Are Aston
ishing-No One Can Afford to Be
Without the knowledge.
We do our friends valuable service
when we call their attention to the
valuable book entitled, THE TIME
is AT HAND" in which are given
many Scriptural evidences to prove
where we are on the stream of time.
Mems hearts are failing them for
fear" and many of the leading think
ers are proposing remedies to better
conditions The Scriptures assure us
that mans extremity will be Gods
opportunity, and this book holds out
an anchor to those who fear the wave
of unrest now spreading over the
world.
The honest heart confesses that it is
at loss for an explanation Of tran
spring events. While we refer to this
as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of
ENLIG HTEN ENT, neverthe-
less many realize that we are fast ap-
preaching a crisis which is wrapped In
darkness owing to the present world
wide social, religious and political un-
rest.

National Income Tax Next.

The amendment to the federal
constitution providing for a ma
tional income tax received the en-
dorsement of sufficient number Of
states to make it effective and now
all that remains is to put it into
operation. 1t is estimated by those
capable Of passing Judgment, that
it will amount annually to at least
500, 900, 900 if not more, enough
to fill the hole in the national treas
ury that may result from a radical
reduction of import duties. AS we
have an Income tax in this state
to raise money unnecessarily to be
squandered, which has obtained
under wise progressive administra-
ton, it will mean a double taxation
In great many cases and mean
robbery under the form OF law.

Soil Survey Of Jefferson County, Wis.
The Bureau of Soils, e. S. Department
of Agriculture, has completed the field
work of the Soil Survey Of Jefferson
county, Wis, and the report, which is
now in course Of preparation, will be
available for distribution sometime dur
ing the coming summer The county
contains 54S square miles, or 350,720
acres.
The report, when issued, will describe
in detail each type Of soil found in the
county and show what crops are best
suited to each different soil 1t will al
so contain information and recommend
ations by the Depar tment as to the best
methods of farm management and till
age t. be practiced on each type Of soil
in order to obtain larger yields and
better quality of crops, ana at the same
time, maintain or increase the present
state Of fertility.
soil map will accompany the report
showing the location and extent of each
type of soil Encountered during the sur
vey and the location Of all farm houses,
churches, schools, public roads, streams
and railroads in the county. This map
will enable owners of land to determine
on what types of soil their farm is lOcat-
ed and will also be great aid to the
prospective purchaser, showing, as it
does, both the location of the various
soils and the transportation facilities of
any section of the county.

Gods Call to Abraham.
Abraham's birthplace was Or, one
hundred twenty miles north of the
Persian Gulf His father Terah was
heather Polytheism prevailed - the
worshiping of many gods. From Ur.
the family migrated to Haran, about
five hundred miles in the direction of
Palestine. There Abraham remained
until Terah's death.
Gods dealings with Abraham, accord
ing to ST. Stephen Acts 10. 81, began
while he was in Ur. God called him
out of his evil surroundings, to be the
founder of new nation, holy and
obedient to God. The migration from
Or to Haran took the family away
from the idola trOus scenes of the me-
tropolis to pastoral life. In harmony
with the Divine call. Abraham, then
seventy-five years old, his wife Sarah,
and his nephew Lot with their fockS
and herds. moved to Canaan after the
death Of Terah.
Abraham's Great Faith In God.
Abraham was full of faith. This
feature of his character especially en-
deared him to the Almighty. who, be-

Bible does not claim that Abraham was
perfect The reverse of this is de

Abraham was not the friend of God

victors and recovered the spoils.
But it was not for his skill as gen

THOUGHTS BY TIL WAY

Some pinhead of an assembIyman
has introduced in the assembly a
bill providing for the creating of a
Commission on Athletics; which
probably will be followed by an
other bill for Commission on
Amusements. Judging from the
character of many biIls.which have
been introduced in the legislature
thus far this session, a majority of
the members should be in an asy UNI
for the insane rather than in the
legislature.

acid"
The GAINESVILLE Gazette adds:
This little drama, from the
Wall Street Journal, may be slight
ly overdrawn, but it is very true to
life. The tariff must be reduced on
every line except the one in which
we are interested, and that makes
it local issue, pure and simple.
The great army of consumers have
come to believe that it has much to
do with the high cost of living, and
SO are clamoring for reduction.
The smaller army, whose capital is
invested in producing, realizes the
importance of protection, not only
to capital but to labor employed.
There are two sides to the question
and it can only be settled satisfac-
torily by mutual concessions.
