Life and the Weaver.

Life is a woven fabric:
The pattern and web are wrought
BY the dark threads and the golden
That into the loom are shot.
You cannot Judge Gods purpose
BY the thrust OF single thread:
What 10 you may be dark, mysterious,
May be glorious bright instead.
For He holds in mind pattern
As fair as His love is strong.
Which grows each day in the weaving
Not single thread goes wrong.
No warp in His hands shall tangle,
No slumber His eyelids close,
We only can thwart His purpose
When our stubborn wills impose.
Our tangled and broken efforts
To walk in His kind commands
Will give life an added luster.
Restored by His loving hands.
So trust in the Weaver's wisdom,
In His love and uniailing care.
And the fabric OF life completed
Some day will be wondrous fair.

The last part of Isaiah, chapters Il
to Xvi, may be said to begin and end
with comfort for his people, Israel, in
connection with His coming In glory
(xl, /, 2, 10, IL; Xvi, 10. Is. 49,, and as
then will be the overthrow of their en-
emies there is an easy connection be-
tween the last lesson and this. These
last twenty-seven chapters of Isaiah
are easily divided into three mines, the
first and second Of which end with the
same words, mo peace, saith the Lord
or saith my God, to the wicked" (xlviii,
%; lyii, 2D. Our lesson today. is I'm the
middle nine, and the middle chapter Of
this nine is the fifty-third, which tells
of the only way of peace for any sinner
or for all sinners. The next chapter
tells of Gods unchanging loving kind
ness for Israel and of their future es-
tablishment in righteousness by their
Redeemer, the God of the whole earth
Div, 5-14). Today's lesson chapter is a
cry to all who thirst to come to the
God of Israel, the fountain Of living
waters DER. ii, 49,. All that is repre-
sented by living water, wine and milk
has been provided fully at infinite cost
and is offered freely to whatsoever will,
according to Rev. xxi, @; xxi. II; John
iv, IA; vii, 81. Love cannot be bought,
nor can any of the gifts Of God, but
He says, 81 will heal their backsliding,
will love them freely" QHos. xiv, A.;
S. of SOL viii, u Rom. ill, 24.
Spending money for that which is
not bread reminds us of His words
to the 5000, Labor not for the meat
which perisheth, but for that. meat
which endureth unto everlasting life,
which the Son of Man shall give unto
you John vi, %. The words "Heark-
en- diligently unto Me, hear and
your soul shall live" verses 2, 81, are
very like John V, "a, where we learn
that hearing and believing His word
give everlasting life and the assur-
ance of not coming into judgment for
our sins. In the study of all prophecy
we must remember that His thoughts
are first for Israel and then for all ma
tons, but there is always a message
for every individual believer, whether
Jew or gentle, as we have already
seen. The sure mercies Of David take
us to the covenant ordered in all
things and sure which comforted Da-
vid In his dying hours Oh Sam. xiii, 8;
vii, 16).

Seed Bed Must Be Fitted Early
for 1918 Wheat CrOp

Early fitting of the seed bed for the
fall planting of wheat is recommend
ed by the soils department of the
Michigan Agricultural college.
early preparation of the seed
bed," it is indicated by the soils men,
"is essential for the conserving Of
moisture, the development of plant
food, and the establishing of a prop
err physical condition of the soil to
enable seeds to terminate quickly,
and to develope a sufficient root
system before cold weather comes in
the fall
wheat usually follows oats in the
Michigan rotation. 1t is an excellent
plan to pillow oat stubble as soon as
possible after the oat crop has been
harvested. After blowing the soil,
the treatment should be similar to
that given when fields are summer
fallowed for wheat. The proper use
of tools will depend, of course, upon
soil and weather conditions.
when blowing cannot be done on
account of other. work it is a good
plan to disk the oat stubble, and some
wheat growers often disk their fields
while the oats are still in the shock.
The disking operation is especially

Steel Cars Safer

Those who believe they are safer IN
steel than in WOODEN cars will take
comfort in the government figures
which show that the latter are disap-
pearing at the rate of 1000 a year.
The interstate commerce commission
has repeatedly recommended that the
railways be compelled to discard
them. A wooden car is more danger
Gus between two steel cars than be-
tween two Of it's own kind. Doubtless
many Of those in service are now
used on spur lines. The Railway Age
Gazette. noting that 5000 wooden
cars have been scrapped since Janu-
airy /, 1912, points to this as evidence
of the altruism of railways, for steel
cars are initialIy more costly and
maintenance is probably more expen-
sive. Without denying the aitruism,
we may note that steel car is more
durable than a WOODEN one, that a
passenger hesitating between. COM
peting lines will take the all-steel
train-and then there are. smaller
damages to pay!
