POWER OF A PRESENCE

BY William L. Ellis

about his person when he was on
earth. The Spirit is the Presence of
Jesus: He is Christ fulfilled.
What Is the Comfort
When a dear one dies, we do not
crave philosophy, but a presence.
Unreasonable our grief may be, bat
1t desires nothing so much as the
very self of the departed one. This
was the entirely natural, human
craving of the closest friends of
Jesus. to whom he opened his heart
IN that farewell discourse. They were
not convinced that the salvation of
the world was any compensation
for their loss of him-iust as mill
lions Of bereaved parents nowadays,
In the nearness of their present
grief. have less thought for the
glorious ends that are being won
by the sacrifice of their hero sons
than they have for their own lone
liness and loss. They want their boys
back again, even though they do
not begrudge them to the holy cause.
So the fitting comfort promised to
his heart broken and perpleXed as
sociates. by the Leader about to die
was that he would send to them the
Presence of the Paraclete-the One
who was his Other Self. This For
tifier, this Strengthened. this Advo-
cate, this Comforter, this Invisible
but ever near and ever vocal Spirit,
would continue in reality the work
of Christ. He would make them
brave; he would teach them truth ;
he would quicken their comprehen-
sion; he would show them the ma
ture of the Father. The whole work
of the Holy Spirit would be to mag
Nifty and make plain and precious
the Christ who was on his way to a
cross.
So we see that Jesus is not among

BY WILLIAM It. ELLIS

Recently there have appeared in
America reproductions of a remark
able picture, which is having great
vogue among the discriminating. 1t
is called THE Presence" and shows
the interior of noble cathedral. In
the center of the picture is seen the
high altar, where mass is being cell
ebrated for kneeling worshipers, and
the artist has cunningly conveyed
the impression of the elevation of
the Host. In the rear of the cath
edral, behind pillar and amid the
shadows, a venerable peasant wom-
an is kneeling, bowed with sorrow,
and too humble even to approach
the altar. But bending over her, in
an attitude of exquisite compassion,
is the figure of the Saviour, COM
forting the broken-hearted woman.
That in reality is THE Presence"
Beautiful and powerful as is the
reverent picture, with its tender
message to which all Christian faiths
would give assent, it also conveys
the truth of the present Sunday
school lesson. that the comfort of
Christ is the comfort of Himself.
He is with all who mourn and seek
Him. For the representative whom
Jesus promised to send to his be-
reaved friends, on the night before
he died, was none else than his
other Self, for whom no one English
word is adequate, so that many Bible
students employ the Greek word
''Paraclete," the one who stands in
stead of another. Advocate" is as
good a rendering as any. For He
whom we call the Holy Spirit was
sent to be the very Other Self Of
Jesus, to be to Christians to the end
of time all that the Master him.

BUCKWHEAT GROWING URGED
AS AID no POOR WHEAT CkOR

AS AID 10 POOR WHEAT CROB
The partial failure of the wheat
crop and the natural adaptability of
| buckwheat to sections with short
growing seasons should make it's use
more universal at this time.
Buckwheat is very sensitive to
both low and high temperature. With
cool nights and a fair supply of
moisture it will Withstand consid-
erable heat. This quality especially
adapts it to high mountain eleva-
! tionS.
While light, well-drained loamy
| soils are usually considered best for
buckwheat, it is not at all eXacting
| in it's soil requirements. On fertile,
poorly cultivated lands it produces
better crops than any other grain,
but it responds with greatly in
creased yields to good treatment.
| Soil acidity does not seem to hinder
| it's growth. Rich soils, especially
J those well supplied with nitrogen,
lodging. Lodged buckwheat seldom
| RECEIVERS.
Buckwheat may be sown on left
over land, on meadow, or where
another crop has failed, or on land
| too poor for other crops. Prepare
the seed-bed as thoroughly as for
wheat, oats or corn.
| On the nlgn mountain elevations
and in Northern Pennsylvania, the
best seeding time is between June
is and 20. In southern and south
eastern Pennsylvania seeding may
be done as late as the middle of
July. On fertile soil, fertilization
will not pay. At the present price
of fertilizers, 200 to 800 pounds of
acid phosphate to the acre Is rec
commended for soil poor to medium
in fertility.
On poor land stable manure gives
excellent results, but the manure
can usually be used to much better
advantage on another crop. The fer
tilizer may be applied broadcast or
drilled in with the seed.
The rate of seeding varies from
three to five pecks, four pecks being
the usual amount. IL may be broad
cast and narrowed in, or planted
with the grain drill the same as
wheat. Where it is possible the lat
| ter method is most satisfactory and
requires less seed. Depth of plant
ing should be between one and two
| inches.
Three arieties-Japanese, Silver
Hull and Common Gray-are COM
monty grown. The Japanese is usu-,
ally considered the best yielder.

Holy Spirit is a living power and
personality in the world to-day.
The World Outlook

Holy Spirit is a living power and
personality in the world to-day.
The World Outlook
l like to think of those ponder
Gus hydro-electrlc machines in the
depths of the power houses at Nj
agara as furnishing light and power
not only for great civic enterprises,
but also tor small Individual needs.
The very same force that brilliantly
lights the streets of Buffalo also
tliuminates the hall bedroom in
remote part of the city. 1t sends
great electric cars whirhng over the
highways, and lifts the burden OF
the sewing machine from the knees
of a tireu woman.
So 1t Is with the might of this
sent Spirit, who is help for the
hurt, strength for the striving, So
lace for the sorrowing and forutude
for the fighter. The taracletes pow
er is for the Succor of saints, for
the lifting OF the lowly, for the sal
vation OIL the sinner, as well as for
the making OF worlds and the re-
shaping OF human society. lie is
God at work in our times.
Twice 1t has been my work to en-
circle this old earth, studying So
cial conditions; and now l am start
ing again around our troubled globe.
AS L nave seen the unrest OF man
kind, and the deep, tidal movements
of the times: and now watch the
immeasurable resurgence of ideal
ism that has followed, L can only
account for 1t all by the sincere and
simple faith that the Holy Spirit OF
God, sent to complete the Saviours
mission, Is abroad in our day, doing
wondrous works. Dazed and in
credulous, we behold new world in
the making, a world of democracy,
Justice, liberty and peace. These
are goals that justify any war. The
great nations have pledged them
selves that the world shall be made
safe, for democracy. Idealism is more
than the vogue; it is the deep-run-
ming passion of humanity. All the
major concerns of life are now
spiritual. Public addresses and
State documents are a-thrill and "a
throb with it. Verify, His day is
marching on"
What means all this other than
that the promise of Jesus is being
vindicated and that his Spirit is
newly regnant? This is the day of
the power of the Paraclete. To be a
materialist or a seltist now Is to be
a traitor to the world and to God.
