Owls Are Useful Birds.

Some people have not yet got rid
or the idea h a owls are harmful birds
deserving of destruction. They are
classed as thieves and robbers that
prey upon poultry and many useful
birds. This idea has no foundation.
With the possible exception Of one spe-
cies Of owl. known as the great horned
owl, every other kind earns it's protec-
ton by its good services. Other owls
Go an incalculable amount of good in
destroying harmful rodents and insects
that are a menace to agriculture and
fruit growing.
or the short cared owl it has been
proved that fully 10 per cent of it's
food is meadow mice. while gophers,
shrews. small rabbits and insects make
up most Of the remaining % per cent.
a we'll known ornithologist says Of
the barn owl: 1T is surprising that at
the present day any one should think
1t necessary to write Il fresh plea for
this bird-a bird that has been q favor
lite of our ornithologistS for the last
hundred years and whose praises may
be read in Il hundred volumes on our
library shelves. He who DESTROYS an
OWL is an encOurager of mice. Looked
at from an economic standpoint, it
would he difficult to point out a more
useful bird than this owl"

Il proof Of that foolishness on Gods
part that is beyond the wisdom of
men, for this church is not composed
of the elements that would ordinarily
be sought by one seeking to capture a
city's allegiance. In it there are mot
many wise after the flesh or in the
estimation of the world. There are
mot many mighty" in any temporal
sense. There are mot many noble"
for most are from the lower classes.
Nevertheless, all things are working
in accordance with Gods will and
plan. Note the way in which Paul
reiterateS God chose" And with 1.-The
foolish things" )the neuter is deliber-
ately used to bring out their inSigniti-
canoe, and 'the weak things" and
the base things meaning those of
COMMON and unnoble BIRTH and even
the people, who are 50 insignificant

things that are despised and the things
that are not" God has worked that
he might bring to naught the things
that are or those who consider them
selves to be the wise and strong and
worthy Of praise. The reason for all
this has lain deep in the inscrutable
wisdom Of God. for he would not
have any GLORY" that because of hui
man fitness he has attained to saliva
ton. And, Paul reminds these Chris
tians. it is solely 'of God" and his do
ing that they are in Christ jesus

that assures their salvation. "Who

We're included in the divine wisdom

All this mighty change has happened
because these people believed the gos-

In Athens Paul had sought to pre-

the philosophic audience to which he
spoke. When he anne to Corinth he
adopted an entirely different method.
He threw aside all the niceties OF
philosophic argument and plunged into
the moral miracle Of the atonement in
Christ Jesus. 1t was the word or
doctrine ''of the cross" that he preach
ed, and to those who refused to re-
ceive it and We're therefore "perish-

But it is not fo%oliShneSS to those who

Paul then quotes Il passage from 1sa-
iah in which the ancient prophet had
declared that God. moving in history,
would SO act that the wisest in Israel
would not perceive his ways. And
here again, in the death of his Son,

The Immediate purpose of all train

Gle mentioned above. lis the develop
and of skill in handling it. Its ulti-
mate object Is success in war. With
out discipline troops can neither be
trained nor their powers fully realized.
Discipline is therefore the foundation
stone of military efficiency. The
moral training of a soldier underlies
all other factors in his training. for the
reason that no amount of skill cal
compensate for the absence of morale"
What are the controlling objects in
the moral and disciplinary training
that the officers of the American army
are drilling into the national guard to-
day? They are enumerated by Lieu
tenant Lane as follows:
To instii and develop in the soldiers
mind thoughts and mental characteristics
of sufficient power to enable him to con-
troll the emotions aroused by battle;
To eliminate AS much as possible mem
tai characteristics that detract from the
spirit of self sacrifice and the determine
ton to Win success, e. g., fear. vacillatiOn
and eXcitability;
To make discipline a reliable force by
teaching the soldier its nature, convincing
him of its necessity and intoxicating the
determination to sacrifice himself, if nee
essary. for its attainment:
To develop a genuine respect for. con-
fidence in, and obedience to, authority;
To picture clearly in time of peace the
realities of war lest the shock of discov-
cry in time of war should be so intense as
to %overnoWer the soldiers determination
to yield to discipline.

of disciplinary training from one end
