TODAYJS BEST STORY
IN BILLYJS SERMON

Years ago woman went into a
store In London to trade and there
was a bright, snappy young fellow
In thereto whom she was attracted
by his bright mannerism and fine
features and one day she spoke to
him about religion, and he wasn't
Christian so he ever afterwards
fought shy when he saw her COM
Ing. He'd try and get away II he
could. But she used lots Of good
horse sense and In kind of moth
erly way dlsarmed his prejudice
and finally said to him:
~ teach Sunday school class
down at such a place. ! wish you'd
come down." and after much per-
suasion she induced him to come,
and she led that boy to Jesus
Christ.
Now Iistenl He went back to
that store and began to investigate
and he found that there were two
other young men that were Chris
tians, In that store of a hundred
and fifty young men, and they ask
ed the merchant if they could have
little room to go in to eat their

themselves they would work and
pray to bring others to Jesus
Christ. And the merchant gave
them this little room and they won
others to Christ and that room got
too small and they asked for
larger room and 1t was given. To-
day that's the Young Mems Chris.
tian Association that touches every
place on the globe, and that boys
name was George Williams. He
organized the Y. M. C. A. and when
that woman got to heaven God had
as bright crown waiting for her
as for George Williams because
God had to start the Y. M. c. A.
| She didn't have sense enough but
| George did. But somebody had to
win Williams first. He died Sir
George Williams, the first man in
the history of England that was
ever knighted for the cause Of
Christianity.
Where did she find him7 Found

| Then again you must know the
| Bible to show a man that he needs a
1 Savior. How do you know, my friends,
you need a doctor when you are sick?
| How do you know, my friends that

There is only one way to be saved

you; it's your faith in Jesus that saves
you. But the Holy Ghost says to you:
you're a sinner" and then leads you
to Jesus to be saved. The Holy Spirit
makes you feel that you need the sal

LIME BENEFITS CLAY SOILS
and Loosening, and Corrects
Sourness.

An application of about 10 ordinary
10-quart pailfuls of hydrated or air
slaked lime 10 plot of ground 80 by
60 feet in size will generally prove
beneficial. Lime has the effect of
loosening and pulverizing any heavy
clay soil, and of binding loose. sandy
soils. Lime also corrects any sour
ness in the soil due TO lack of drain
age. but in case of this kind proper
drainage should be secured. Lime
should always be applied TO the sur
Sce and in no case should IL be put
on the land at the same time as COM
merical fertilizer. The proper method
would be TO spread the lime upon the
land just after blowing and before
narrowing; then apply the commercial
fertilizer one week later. Under no
circumstances should lime be mixed
with commercial fertilizer or manure.

When set in the spring, cabbage
seed should be started in hotbed or
greenhouse in February and in the
open ground as soon as the soil can be
worked. For late crop in the North,
plant the seeds in q bed in the open
ground in May or June, and transplant
in the garden in July. Early cabbages
require rich, warm soil in order that
they may mature early. For late cab
bages, the soil should be heavier and
more retentive Of moisture and not so
rich as for the early crop. as the heads
are liable TO burst. Cabbages should be
set in rows 80 10 SO inches apart and
IA to Is inches apart in the row. Early
cabbages must be used soon after they
have formed solid heads, as they will
not keep during hot weather They
can, however, be used for making

Caulifiower requires a rich, moist
soil, and thrives best under irrigation.

be tied together over the heads In

Brussels Sprouts.
Brussels sprouts are closely related
to cabbage and caulifiower, and may
be grown In the same manner. In
stead of single head, brussels sprouts
form large number of small heads
in the axis of the leaves. AS the
heads begin to crowd the leaves should
be broken from the stem of the plant,
to give them more room. A few
leaves should be left at the top of the
stem, where the new heads are being
formed. Brussels sprouts are more
hardy than cabbage, and in mild eli
mates may remain in the open ground
all winter, the heads being removed
as desired For winter use in cold
localities, take up plants that are well
laden with heads and set them close
together in a pit. coldframe or cellar,
with a little soil around the roots.
The uses of brussels sprouts are
similar to those of cabbage, but they
are considered of a superior flavor.
