were the only gai'le rpiaiilie".! to show
the way to tuat ereaiure, we may
tay, with all reverence that you coui.l
expect God Hiinaeif to rise up an i
follow you. And Jesua rose up and
followed Jalrus to the house of sor
row. My friends, let us comfort our
selves with the assurance that any
such message ai that will move the
Lord today Jast aa l.i the days of
Jalru-. Whatever pain or sorrow
there is in your own lioute or the
house of your friend, you may go to
Him straightway and toll Him, and
when you retina you may bo sure
that you are taking His presence with
you. Bo sure a man of that kind U
a privileged character; ho take9 pre
cedence of all. When Jarius has fin
ished speaking. Jesus rlsej up and
follows him.
Now that is only the lirst part of
our text. This is tho second part:
"And Mi did His disciples.'' As dis
ciples it was their bu-iinflij to follow
Jesus, and now Jesus was following
Jalrus. Is not this a most excellent
example for any loyal church? The
question that ought to coaio to us is
the question of leaderjiiip, human
leadership of a Christian church, and.
of course, I shall often expect to find
that kind of leadership in tha church
itself. Men and woman experienced
in trie tuingg of God who can serva
as leaders for their younger brethren.
It wag go In the dayg of the apoatlei.
frleo like Paul who charged the.
younger members that they should
follow hint at be was following Christ
rind it was safe counsel. There are
.eaders In the church, but the quea
tion which our text suggests Is wheth
er there may ever be any kind of
safe leadership inside the church from
outside the church. If any man from
outside appears and say "come,'
would It ever be nnt for us to fol
low? Certainly not alwayt. If Chri
tlan people are too ready to walk af
ter everybody who beckons them
they are likely to wander away from
the Master. There comei some new
tpacher with Rrent protPnnlnni of t-Is.
dom who s.iyg, "Come, I will lead you

The Grace of Brotherly Love. John
13. 34; Heu. 13. 1.
"Love Is the greatest thing In the
world," said Henry Drummond.
"Love is of God," nay, "God is
love." "Love worketh no ill to the
neighbor, therefore love is the fuliill
liiB of the law." If anything was ex
pelled from the human soul when it
"fell" iu. Uden, that tbiiiK was love;
that Is, that generous, outgoing feel
ing that made It Impossible for one
to put a stumbling block In another's
way, or to scheme to prolit by an
other's misfortune. Love in the soul
is the logulaling factor in it. In its
absence, ambition, covet ousncss, en
vy, malice, hatred all the evils tliat
e. leaped from Pati'lora's box run
riot, and, in a. wild revelry of passion,
cut and thrust here, tnere, at. every
other and that is what alls the moan
ing world. Christ came to restore
Love to her ravished throne, and
make her once more sweetly regnant
In the human soul. So, down, Am
bition, that has been lording It ever
since Lucifer himself the victim of
tho unholy passion fell from hcav-
en; down, Ambition, to thy place ot
service at the feet of Christian Love!
Let desire hereafter covet earnestly
nnly the best things. Jesus was him
self tho embodiment of tho holy pas
sion of love, nnd "God comniendeth
bis love toward us In that while we
Were yet sinners Christ died for the
ungodly." "Love each other like
that" was and Is the divine mandate
to men, a message that was concreted
In the only "hoiy, harmless, and un
deliled" being ever born of woman.
Love Is the supreme test of the
Christian profession. Hoes a pro
fessed follower of Christ love like
Christ? Will he sacrifice for anolher,
even though that other be unrelated
or even unknown? Will he return
good to him who lias done him
wrong'.' Will be think good of bis
fellows preferably to thinking evil?
Is this a very high standard? True.
: Yet It is the gospel mark. Methodism
has ever taught, with Jesus, and John,
ami Paul, that it is possible for a
Christian to reach thut perfection
tln.t lies In loving God with all the
night, mind and strength, and one's
neighbor as himself. Ah, what a
world this would be If all Christians
bad but stretched up to that stand-
aid!
THE PERFECT PEARL.
Said to Have Been Made by a French
Chsmlit.
A French chemist, M. Teclu by
name, has recently succeeded nfter
eleven years of research in discover
ing a process to scientifically pro
duce a pearl that would equal the pro
duct of nature. The fact that rubles
I and pearls have been scientifically
I produced has stimulated manufactur
ers of these precious stones to seek
i a duplicate of the pearl, the popular
ity of which has been growing stead
ily In public demand.
To this end perfect specimens id
tha pearl have been continuously
sought after, and In many rases fa
bulous amounts aro frequently paid
for a faultless stone. It Is said that
through a secret known only to him
self M. Tecla has succeeded in attain
ing his ambition to produce what is
apparently a genuine pearl at one
sixth the cost of the Orient spun
men, a calcareous concretion, inde
structible and of the adamant quality
and exact weight ot the real stone,
with a skin of fine and delicate tex
ture and ot a clear, almost translu
cent color, with the subdued I rrl de
scent sheen so dear to Judges of the't
fascinating gems. M. Tecla has on!v
recently finished the experimental
stage and it will be quite some time
before hla results will be brought be
fore the public. London Spectator,
The Heat Calf Fooift
Separrried milk as a food'
for-
salves, wlfcn fed direct from tlie ma--thine,

Careful experiments show that pruc

Tlie experiment station of Ohio
furnishes valuable information in a
bulletin on tho scion Ion of corn for
.seed, the selection being made dur
ing the groAlng of the plant In the
Geld, which ought to have tho care
ful uitention of growers of corn
everywhere. Taking Dent corn for
the purpose, it Is scored as follows:
Vigor of plants, twenty points; po
sition of ear, G points; weight of
ear, 50 points; length of ear. five
points; uniformity of plant nnd ear,
10 points, and shape of kernel and
size of germ, ten points. , Very im
portant Is tho note which gives the
disqualifications, as plants growing
under less than normal stand; plants
lying upon the ground or badly brok
en; plants diseased; plants maturing
too late or too early. To select the
seed corn from such plants is fatal
to the following crop. Tho vigor of
the plant la indicated by the circum
ference of tho stalk .below the ear:
by Its upward growth and by its leaf
development nnd freedom from dls
ease. The ideal position of the ear
is such that It dejs not pull too heuv
lly upon tho plant. The weight of
tho ear Is to be determined by scales
when the ear la thoroughly dry. Tbe
plan of uniformity of plant and ear
Is based on the habit of growth and
vigor of plant as well ns sise, shape,
color ana indentation of ear. Corn
growers everywhere should profit by
these points, which will mean de

Orchard Cultivation.
Referring to the fact that many
trees die while yet in their nrime. a
writer asserts that it is simply a
matter oi starvation soli exhaus
tion. The land has produced the
trees, also foliage and fruit, year
After year, for a
iy, thirty, forty or fifty years', often
(railed upon to produce a cereal crop
a wen, ana in many cases with lit
tie or no return of fertilizing ele
tuentii to the toll aside from those
which nature HtMlUlUrs. What W6C- 5
der that the soil butt become poverty
stricken, and 1 1 n longer cble to'
i bear the strain?"- No reasonable"
man should expect, the soil' to pro--duco
one crop, year, after year, for a-
generation, and In' regard to cereal
eropn there are af few who do, yet
many seem to expert to- gather fruit
from generation to 'generation with--ont
making any return, to the aoll.
If we cultivate the kind eTurinB; the
summer to retain tf.a" mofsture for
the use of the trees, and fat August
of early September s.w sewne cover

soil during the following winter,
