never fail.

ONE OF OUR TROUBLES.

ONE OF OUR TROUBLES.
By II. d. GARLAND.
Men frequently say to me:
care you helping such and such
a church or field? If so, you
ought to stop it, as they are able
to take care of themselves"
1t is true that these "old tim
ers" do not appeal to our SYM
pathies and sometimes we think
we ought to cut off from them
all together. 1t does not matter
to them whether tey hear one
sermon a month or one year.
What must we do with church.

cially, and often leaders in other
ways, are too miserably stingy
to contribute adequately for the
support of the pastor, and too
stubborn to let the church in

DDS? Withdraw help" did you
say?
Certainly business sense pro-
tests against taking money from
self-sacrificing missionary peo-
pie and using it to help those
who are able to help themselves
but too stingy to do it.
| have in my minds eye a mer-
chant, who is worth at least tif-
ty thousand dollars, but who
gives only $4,000 per year to the
pastors salary and only a few
dollars to missions-and he is a
member of one of our mission
churches.
1t does seem wrong to help
such a man; but there is another
side to the question which must
be considered. Where there are
such churches there are also
boys and girls growing to young
manhood and womanhood, and
these churches are their only
means of grace. Close the church
door, and they are left without
spiritual care.
What shall we do? Shall we
express our indignation against
such stubborn meanness on the
part of the older ones by with
drawing State Mission help?
Or shall we bear longer with
them, trusting the Lord to send
problem-solving funerals.
Would it be wrong to pray for
funrals in some of these church
es? | simply ask the question
without trying to answer it. |

conditions and hindrances are
such that one or more funerals
seem to be the only solution.
There are also self-sustaininp

Just as bad, though of a differ
ent kind. One man or woman
who has money or social position
dominates the church. The
threat withdraw financial sun
port secures the purpose of the
dominant member; or the So
clal leader offended by some ut
terance of the pastor against
her worldliness, starts her
tongue to wagging, and spreads
SUCH discomfort as to paralyze all
spiritual work.
There are churches where one
or two first-class funerals or the
departure of certain members
to some other denomination
would be a real blessing.
A rich man in any church who
is niggardly in his giving does
positive harm to other members
knowing that hehas money they
are governed in their gifts large
ly by what he gives.
Is 1T wrong to pray for funer-

churches, bearing in mind the
boys and girls, and seek to train
them in the Bible way of DOING

Missionary to Arabia
Pleads for More Zeal

yesterday afternoon, the Rev. Mr..
Zwemer said he would give to the
people who are against foreign mis-
sions. the 277,000 Mohammedans in
the Philippines for home missionary
work. He declared that one-eighth of
the worlds population is Mohamme-
dan and the number accepting the 10
ran and Mohammed is approximately
zoo, 100000.
In Service Twenty-three Years.
The Rev. Mr.. Zwemer, who is a
member Of the Fellows Royal Geo.
graphical society. has been a mission
airy to Arabia and Egypt for twenty
three years. and was the first Chris
tan missionary to enter that part of
Arabia in which his mission Is located.
He speaks the Arabian language
huently and gave several prayers and
quotations from the Koran, translat-
Ing them for the audience His Rrst
picture" of Mohammedism was of a
school girl.
After this little nineyear-old girl
had gone to school for a short time
and was progressing rapidly, she was
suddenly missed. We asked where she
was and they told us she had been
married. In six or eight months she
again walked into school as If she
never had been absent. We asked her
II she had not been married. oh,
yes. but I'm divorced now was her
reply.
Problem 10 Big.
There are more unevangelized Mo.
hammedans under the United States
flag than there are unevangelized Am.

and Sulu islanders of the Philippines
are one Of the biggest problems Am.

to contend with. And you can not
clean up such colossal social problems
by showing them on your neighbors.

ALFALFA SEEDING GOOD

j. j. Nachtrieb OF Hudson, Mich
has the following to say about raising
alfalfa: las far as my experience
/ has gone, | find il of utmost import
ance 70 have the soil rich and have it
! inoculated, either the seed with the
culture. or with soil from an alfalfa
! field, or from a sweet clover patch.
My most successful seeding Of alfalfa
has been on field Of June clover that
was pastured till June Is. and plowed
soon after. And thoroughly worked
till about July 18th. About which
time we had some fine rains when |
sowed the seed | had splendid
catch on this field. | would like TO
state here that in just eight weeks
from the day / sowed this field of al
falfa, i cut it for hay, and got nearly
a ton TO the acre Of fine hay. | regard
alfalfa as one Of the most valuable
forage crops the average farmer can
raise. Especially the dairy farmer.
81 have raised alfalfa successfully
for six or seven years. and am going
To SOW another field this spring Ny
advice to beginners is. to be sure that
the land is well drained, as alfalfa will
not stand wet land; il does not make
any difference what the soil is-clay
or loan, or even sand if you follow
directions.
Put, 10 to Is loads of BARNARD
manure per acre and pillow il down
fairly deep, then plant corn, potatoes,
or beans the first year. and don't let
any weeds or grass grow with crop;
next spring put on about one and one
half or two tons ground limestone per
acre, and 200 or 800 pounds good COM
mercial fertilizer per acre. and disk !
and harrow same well into the soil |
then get about 800 pounds soil from a
successful alfalfa field per aero SOW
same on a cloudy day and disk or har-
row same well into the soil before the
sun shines on il.
Work the land well until about the
LIST Of June, then SOW the seed broad
cast, II or Is pounds per acre: cover
with spike tooth harrow, or if ground
is real mellow, a weeder will do, and
watch it grow; the first season YOU
can get one crop Of hay. but l general

Will get three big cuttings. or about

PURE ICE OF GREAT IMPOR.
LANCE TO COUNTRY HOME

During the winter farmers will find
IL profitable TO make every possible
arrangement for harvesting and stor-
ing such ice as may be available in
their localities Ice is a luxury and
yet in many sections OF the country
IL may be had for the gathering if the
farmer is prepared for the harvest at
the right time. The cost OF harvest
ing and storing ice is not great COM
pared with the comfort that it brings,
and an ample supply of this luxury is
or greater Importance in the country
home than in the city residence. Even
such farmers as are not near lakes or
streams often gather quite supply of
ice by putting out pans or wooden
troughs filled with water and remov-
ing the ice after the water has frozen.
While city people may purchase
perishable supplies as needed, the re-
moteness Of country homes from mar
kets makes it necessary TO use more

special plan or preparation on the part
of man. In other instances, where
such natural sources are not easily ac-
cessible, small streams or even the
water from a spring can be stored in
an excavation or by means of q dam
so as TO afford sufficient water surface
to provide the desired ice supply. The
harvest area or surface will depend
upon the tonnage TO be stored and the
normal thickness of the ice in the
locality. In central New York the
normal ice supply ranges from s to ~
inches In thickness, while in eastern
Virginia 10 inches is as great
thickness as can usually be counted
upon.
The stream or pond from which the
supply OF ice is taken should be fed
from a source free from contamina-
ton or pollution. If the stream is so
sluggish that water weeds thrive in ii,
all vegetation must be removed TO pre-
vent its freezing in the ice. Decaying
vegetable matter frozen in ice is very
Objectionable, because as the ice melts
this matter is deposited in the ice box
or refrigerator, rendering il unneces-
sarily filthy and dangerous to health.
Ponds in which green spawn or
algae grow profusely can be rid Of
these pests by the use Of copper sui
phate. The crystals can be placed in
a cloth sack, which is hung to a pole
and trailed through the water until
the salts are dissolved. One or two
treatments of the sulphate during the
season at the rate of 1 pound to 100,-
900 gallons of water will be sufficient
to keep down such growth and make
the water clear and pure. 1t is impos-
sible to have pure ice unless the pond
or stream is clean and the water is
free from contamination.
