solo in excellent voice and was
accompanied on the piano by

President Henry l.. Whitfield,
in complimentary words. intro.
duced the distinguished divine,
who held the rapt attention of
his audience for more than an
hour. He took for his text the
first verse of St. Paul's epistIe to
the Corinthians; Nov concern
ing spiritual gifts, My brethren,
| would not have yon ignorant. "
He interpretated these epistles as
wonderful documents in the form
of personal letters which dea
with the relation OF neart and
mind. All gifts having their or
igln in the Supreme being, g,and he
urged this class to render true
service to the giver of all gifts.
Bishop Bratton said that in.
tellectual attainment did not
mean spiritual gifts. Mind is
not synonymous with spirit.
Who ever cOnfounds the two
makes a fatal error. There is nc
subject of greater Importance
than that concerning spiritual
gifts. All gifts come from a
common origin. There are diver
sites of ability. Gifts differ in
Importance. striking gifts like
speaking with tongues. No gifts,
however great, should be the
object of envy" He admonished
them to use their gifts for God S
glory. Devote their talents t
the use of edifying. There is
a3out to be danger Of denying
the very presence of Gods holy
spirit. Our generation has ex.
plored the material world as has
never been before. We talk
hourly from one side of the
world to another. This world has
made wonderful speed. Our cit
les are displaying a luxury Rome
never dreamed of in its day. Ire.
mendous advancement has been
made in trade. We have accus-
toned ourselves to the thought
that this world is our abiding
place. All these things have moi
changed the fundamental princi-
pies of life. We are just pre-
cisely where and precisely what
our parents were in the gar.
den of Eden. All formality and
physical qualification has a Just
claim. but man is not affected b,
his robe or his money. Man must
realize himself to be a spirit made
for God"

LESSON in FOOD SUPPLY.

When Farm Yields Eamily's- Needs tho
Chances Favor the Farmer.
The south is not the only section of
the country where concentration upon
a single cash crop has tended to make
farming more Of gamble than
sound business. A case has recently
been reported to specialists in the
United States department Of agricul-
ture of a North Dakota wheat farmer
who having run badly in debt applied
for a loan Of 900. He had nothing
whatsoever on his place except the
horses required in the wheatfleld.
There was not a COW, a pig or even q
chicken, no vegetable garden-nothing;
whatsoever with which to support thei
family. +
Before he could get his 81 900 he was
compelled by the banker to whom he
applied to agree to use a portion of
the loan to purchase two cows, a half
dozen pigs and a small flock Of poul-'
try, besides undertaking to maintain
a fair sized vegetable garden. The
banker had figured that with this.
equipment the farmer could get along
even in poor grain seasons without
running further into debt and that in
good years the profits from his grain
would, be sufficient gradually to repay
the loan.
This reasoning proved correct, for in
five years the money had been paid
back. The farmer has learned his les
son. and his farm continues to supply
his family with food as we'll as with
cash. ,
