America has been an extravagant
feeder of grain to livestock. Although
livestock cannot make anything like
as much human food out of a bushel
of corn as it already contains we have
fed it to livestock recklessly and ex-
travagantly simply because we have
lots of it. The south needs to keep
and raise all the livestock she can,
but we must learn to raise or grow it
with less grain or concentrates than
the northern farmer has been accus-
toned to using. Silage, cheap dry
roughage and cotton seed meal are
the only feeds now cheap enough to en-
able one to feed cattle proftably in
the south. Hogs must be raised on
crops which they gather themselves
in order to reduce the cost and horses
and mulesm ust be worked more regu-
larly and effectively or be fed less high
priced corn-The Progressive Farmer,

1T CONCERNS ALL.

The man, woman or minor who i;
not concerned as to the outcome Of
the present struggle is to be pitied anC
enlightened. He or she is really un.
concerned through ignorance. They
have failed entirely to grasp the true
inwardness Of the situation confront.
ing us as a people.
Let us suppose that the history o.
our country were to end with the
present generation. Does anyone i'm.
agine that our statesmen would b
materially interested in the settlement
of the questions in dispute? Hardly
Naturally, then, it is mainly the fu-
ture of the country that is to be con-
sidered. What that FUTURE is to be
will depend upon OUR ACTION NOW
1t is to the credit of the American
people that they have always had a
clear vision of the duty of the present
generation to posterity. That vision
was responsible for the Revolutionary
war. 1t was the stimulus in the wal
Of 1872. And when the Mexican
question assumed grave proportions
the same thought was at the fore in
the national mind, Not so much the
interest of our own posterity as that
of our fellowman was the stimulus in
the brush with Spain. But throughout
her whole life this country has never
failed to place the true interests Of
posterity before present ease and
comfort.
What can be said, then, of the young
man or young woman who is not con-
cerned over the outcome of the strug-
gle? That they have no concern for
the best interests of their own. Pres
ent ease and comfort weighs more
with them than the future of their
children, or of the race in general.
No nation of people can ever come
into their own until present cam BE-
subordinated to future. No present
is ever entirely what it should be. By
the sacrifice of the present, we stand a
chance of realizing the future. If all
else is to be subordinated to the pres
ent, there is every possibility of there
being no future worthy of the name.

ice of self. The greater the power and
the wisdom, the greater is our con-
tempt for its selfish and mean posses
sor. We cannot reverence the exiled
king of Belgium and refuse our rever-
enee to the autOcratie Emperor of
Germany while at the same time we
refuse our reverence to the Galilec>
and give it to an Allah who governs
only by almighty power or to Bud
dha who thinks our battles dol not con.
Germ him and looks upon it with >pla-
cid indifference.
Little children are sometimes great
teachers because they naively express
the feelings which they have not learn
ed from their ill-instructed elders to
repress. When the French children
knelt in the streets of Paris as the
American troops passed through the
city, they revered, not our wealth, nor
our power, but our sacrifcial service,
and taught US what in our kneeling,
whether at home or in church, ought
to inspire our revering. This is the
reason why Christendom, in spite of
such semi-pagan teaching from Chris
tian pulpits, reverences,n mot an enthron-
ed Allah in the heavens, but a thorn
crowned Christ upon the earth; not a
Buddha without passions, purpose, or
desires, but human God, man of
sorrows and familiar with grief. This
is the reason why Christians find him
on the battlefield, a leader in the great
campaign, sharing with them in the
sacrifcial service. And this experience
is giving new and deeper meaning
to the declaration of the unknown wri-
ter of the book of Hebrews, without
the shedding of blood there is no re-
mission" of sin, and a broader and
more universal meaning to the declar.

and the sweet story of their love and
loyalty has made an impression upon
the minds of the reading Public that
all the reports of the Indian office
and all the yellow back novels full

the sweet dignity, the high apprec:a.

under suffering, in such vivid way
that no man can read the story and
not feel respect and admiration for
the Indian race. After the stormy
courtship of Alessendro and Ramona,
after she had left all to follow her
lover and they had builded in the
mountains their little cottage then
comes the tragedy that sill who know
Indian life have seen. The govern
ment claiming the land, selling it to
the grasping white man. And they
turned out and becoming wanderers
on the face of the earth, with no
spot to call their own. The same
tragedy is being enacted still and

the Indian, though never losing his

the highest peak of ths mountains
and there on his pony. with arms
outstretched and his eyes uplifted,

SO great was the interest shown
in the recent rendition Of the sacred
cantata, the Hope OF the World"
by the choir of st. Tchn's church
that 1t is to be repeated Sunday
evening. This simple but very tune
ful work is the product of P. A.
Schneider who has written much
church music of real worth. The
choir Of ST. Johns now consists of
forty voices and under the direction
of George w. Barnes, choirmaster
and organist, is rapidly becoming
one Of the first musical organizations
in the city.
Sunday evenings at St Johns are
different from any services held, in
that it is gathering together like
a great family to sing hymns, to
listen to good music, to hear brief
informal talk by the Pew. Mr.. Sage
and to pray for one another through
the intercessions offered. These

Preach Three Times

The first week Of the revival meet
ings at Trinity church ended last
night, as there will be no service Sat
urday nights. The text was that
profound statement OF Paul, For to
me to live is Christ. and to die Is
gain" Rev. Huff said some people
speak in terms Of counties but Paul
spoke in terms OF continents. In
this text there are two continents Of
truth. To know all it meant to Paul
we should need to have been with
him in Gamaliel,s class room, and on
his way to Damascus when Jesus
first appeared to him. and throughout
his whole subsequent career. But
that would be q far journey. There

Men discover the workings Of Gods
laws in science, but no scientist or
historian has ever discovered God.
Christ revealed Him. Other points
emphasized were the necessity OF a
christian experience OF being crucified
with Christ, and cooperating with
Christ. Though all the world looks
upon death with dread, Paul welcom-
ed it. Death to him meant to depart,
from this world. 1t was a maratime
figure The ship anchored and tied
in> the dock was intended to stay
there. It was. performing the pur-
pose for which it was built when it
was crossing the boundless deep. So
Paul saw in death a departure for
the other shore. Tennyson saw the
same truth in Crossing the Bar"

It was gain was legion. All physical
limitations would be over. He would
be perfect in knowledge, knowing as
he was known. He would be like
Christ, seeing Him face to face. He
would be able to render perfect
service to God.
There will be three services Sun
day. In addition to the regular morn
ing and evening meetings. there will
be one at 2:30 p. m.
