Value Of the Passing Moment
So Great That None Can Afford
To Waste 1t, Says Rev. Mccoy

A large audience listened to the
sermon on CLOSING Up Old Accounts"
last night al the Methodist church by
tho pastor. Rev. +. NJ. Mccoy. The
text "a taken from the parable of
the talents. Matt. 25:14-3O.
Dr. Mccoy said in part: The par
able of the Talents lifts before the
mind a final reckoning Of accounts ac-
c~uratcly kept. After the days filed
with the privilege Of the use Of rai.
cnts given, each man was required
to render an account of his invest
ment Of his bestowed capital. Ills
responsibility lay not in the amount
of the originally bestowed but in the
use he made. OF what was given MIN.
The whole story was revealed in the
final account.
Time Mans Invention.
In a very unique way the story hts
into the occasion of the closing OF
the year. Time is mans invention.
There is no time idea with God. Man
has made it for his own convenience
as he has made the yard stick and
the pound. James Martineau in one
Of his great sermons reminds us that
nature is insensible to our. division Of
time. No great bell of the universe
tolls away the passing spirit Of the
year; no chimes ring out from the
restless wind to greet the spirit Of the
period new born. The calm heavens
maintain their silence. But II this be
the concave side of the thought the
convex side holds much OF pathOs.
Man is held in the grip of the time
no has invented. The sun rises and
stirs him from sleep. The postman
comes. clocks are yer impertinently
striking the hour. they are placed OF
our street and chime even the
quarter hours as though they would
hurry us to our task~. We try to
soften their grim message by causing
them to swcetly chime it forth but
this does not rid it of it's grimness'
The close of the year surely
apace and ii brings II closing OF &C
counts.

is what caused Schiller TO plead,
Seize, seize the hour, ere 1t slips from
you. Seldom comes the moment in
life which is indeed sublime and
mighty" .
The Account Of Anotl,er's Time.
y Had you thought what we are to
render an account of how We have
used another's time? We do not live
unto ourselves. Unthinking pastors
sometimes are at fault here in un-
wisely taking the busy hour of an
pecially Is the pastor the victim of
the professional ~time-stealer. The
book agent, tho man with his pet
hobby, the pious fadist, even to the
young man who sought me out to help
him to devise a plan to win the hand
OF a young woman in marriage-these
and also the company who inundate
You with oceans of unnecessary ink
taking Your time to express some
idiolatry. The pastor is ever ready to
be Of help for good but folks have a
good" The bible admonishes us to
Take no thought for the morrow"
but many take no thought even. for
the day. and some seem. to take no
thought for the day Of other people.
The Account OF God.
We have an account bill with God.
When the Father allows man to live
another day or year it is to fulfil a
responsibility to Him. The Parable
of the Talents teach this emphatically.
What do you business men think OF
the debtor who has had plenty of op.
portunity t. pay your bill and yet al
lows you to carry his big account
over into the new year? 1 wonder
what God thinks Of his debtors to
whom he has given another year to
live and meet life's obligation and
yet the account is unpaid--only q
small effort made to make the pay
ment. There is a namby-pamby mo-
ton among some people that they
may live as they please and then find
Go as Saviour near the close of life,
and enjoy eternal bliss to the full. 1t
is no doubt true that man may be
saved at the last but That he will en-
joy the same fulness of blessing that
others shall know who render a life
service is neither reasonable nor
s%criptural.
The account closes. There is a Di-
vine alchemy that blots away, al
though wrongs done are wounds that
cave us weaker, yet our chief adj
vantage is the hope of profiting by
the past and entering a New Year a
new man in Christ Jesus.

ACCORDING TO TESTS
Farmers Bite on Mail Order
Scheme, and Promoters
Make Big Profits.

Upwards of 10000 has been taken
out Of the state during the last season
by the sale Of a fake hog cholera
serum, which has been sold by mail
order houses in the larger eastern
cities. according to Professor E. F.
Ladd who has made an ANALYSIS of
the alleged serum.
"Scrum" Worthless.
According to the opinion Of Profess
sor Ladd. and other prominent men
OF standing, the serum which was
widely sold is worthless as a proven.
tatfVe or a cure to the disease which
has during the last season caused a
loss OF over 100000 in North Da.
kuta.
In many cases the loss cannot be es-
timatcd from the actual loss Of ami
mails. for reports from many locali-
ties are to the effect that the brood
sows have suffered greatly from the
disease and this fact will decrease the
number Of hogs raised in tho state
during the coming season, 1t is said.
Largely Water.
The analysis of the serum sold in

Specific company of Indianapolis,

dredths grains of potassium iodide.
In the opinion of Prof. Ladd the
material used in the manufacture of
the article put out by this company
cost about five cents for all eight
ounce bottle and consequently Melted
an nUrmou profit.
Gave No Results.
In preparing the advertising ma
terial with which to help their sales
the company cited the names Of prom
inent veterinarics who were using
their product. A large number of these
men were written to relative to the
success met with aud in all cases but
one, Il negative reply was received. In
the one $ the man said that he
had not given the product q careful
tryout. In the opinion of many veter-
inarics who have worked with the
"scrum," it has no value, either as
a preventative. or a cure.
Used Same Method.
To help cover up the article which
was placed on sale, the directions for
use are the ann as the manner in
WHICH the real preventive serum is in
5ected. The directions for the use of
the article eliminated the. necessity of

pcaled to the farmer who purchased
