grills men for their misdoings but
with the loving, winning messages Of
the Christ makes his appeal directly
to the religious consciousness and to
the intellectual sensibilities of his
brethren. And the result is that
every man who hears him goes away

An Inch of Rain.

When the Weather Buaeau
reports that an inch of rain has
fallen, it means that the amdunt
of water that descended ftom
the sky in that particular shower
would have covered the sur.
rounding territory to a depth OF
one inch, if none of it had lruu
off or soaked into the ground.
1t means that On one acrd OF
ground enough water to fill
more than six hundred barrels,
OF forty-five gallons each, has
fallen. That quantity of wdser
weighs more than ITO tons. If
the rainstorm covered one thou.
sand acres, which would bd a
very small shower indeed, lla..
600 tons of water would fail
from the clouds.
Transforms frequently cover
whole states, and often two,bor
three, or five inches of>water
fall in one storm. In that case
