Y. Prpnchtng at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church, ! Hamburg avenue and Welrfleld ttreet. on the theme "Covetousness," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Kx. 20:17, "Thou halt not covet." He said: Timothy tells us that the lore o! money Is a root of all kinds of evils. Covetousnesa Is part of the soil in which the tree of evil Is nourished and out of which it grows. The child of darkness and of the brood ol greed, covetouaness Is ranker to the soul. Born of blackness, it makes dark the life that Is under its control. Where greed Is and covetousnesB abides are no more found peace, purity, contentment, quietude of life. Before its evil presence happiness is destroyed. Un der its godless influence joy and peace are impossible. It will fill a quiet life with turmoil and discon tent will rule. Covetousnesa Is greed let loose. Tt Is selfishness compounded and the mainspring of energy In the grab ber's life. Its fruit is sin and itr consequences ure appalling. Covetousness must not be con founded with honest desire to emu late good example. Covetousnese and righteous discontent are not. one. Covetousness and manly ambition are not Blmllar. The man who looks with greenish glinting eyes at his neighbor's well deserved reward is no brother to the soul who longs to follow In the path of those who have achieved success. However wrong envy may be adjudged to be, the man who wants to do and to become and lo earn a higher place in life, Is wor thy of all praise. To look upon the wealth and power and eminence of others with the evil eye is wrong, but it in no less reprehensible than la that unmanly, self-stultifying lack of pure ambition and of noble aim which Is characteristic of so many. Discontent with our lot in life may be a Messing or a bane. Dissatisfac tion with self and with success at tained is a motive to larger and con tinued effort. Satisfaction and stag nation are not far removed. Righte ous discontent Incites to progress. Unrighteous discontent makes the soul sick. The history of the world is the record of the discontent good or godless of Individuals and na tions. The unrighteousness discon tent of a Bismarck that is to say, the covetousness gave to the world the sc.. urge of the Franco-Prussian war as the price of Prussian predom inance and of united Germany. Rus sia wishes Asia for a province all her own and our news is full of war. Napoleon la covetous of empire and Europe is bloody as a shambles. The wretched thief is envious of money and your gold is gone. The well dressed speculator on the street mad dened with the lust for wealth plun ders a host as hungry for shekels as himself. But opposite Napoleon stands discontented Washington fighting for his country's weal. Kos ciusko, Garibaldi, Wyckllf, Huss and Luther, all rise up as discontented men. The exalted dissatisfaction ol our forefathers finds expression Id the country ttat we love so well, 'oveiousuess is contrary to the law God fcnd the commands of Christ, "hleous discontent la a boon tc lanlty for without it men would r move ahead. But let us not ess too much. Covetousness If subject of the tenth command fot 1 and sufficient reasous. It 1 eless; It brings distress; it is a Ci se. Covetousness Is senseless, it is un wise. No man by taking thought can annex his neighbor's property t hlmself. The highroad to unhappl ness is founded, as much as it la built upon anything, upon envy ol the other fellow's fortune. Envy 1 silly for K makes us sick with Jeal ousy and disappointment, the while It offers no relief. The fact that yout neighbor i undeserving of his for tune or has no real appreciation ol his benefits neither alters your pasi tU:i nor remoulds his state of mind. That other toller's place will not be yours whether you are covetous or no. The other woman's clothe? might not become your style at all, although they do look well on her. But grit and go may put you in a higher place and make you peer with htm whom now you wish you were; and taste with sense and little cash may keep you in becoming clothes. Covetousness of the other person's clothes or place or wealth Is sense less and it certainly Is sin. Then, too, to covet is to undergo distress. Think of the heart aches and the head aches of those who for get their present blesBlnga in jeal ous contemplation of the other peo- 1 pie's Joys. The pleasure of the hour lies unused. The opportunities for immediate happiness lie unnoticed. The joys of the fields and the skies and the hills and the vales all are forgefen. Life with its many un priced happinesses is a thing uncared for and unknown. The soul, the heart, the mind, the every faculty of being, all are distressed and dis eased with Inordinate desire for the other man's possessions. Woe be tide the man or the woman Into whose heart the devil of envy enters. For to covet is to be atiame with sin. Covetousness is a curse. The courts are calendared with cases of unholy lust for land. Love lies slain in many a home because of mar riage ties ur'iooe. The jails are full of men who coveted the property of the other man a little bit too much. The business world well knows the necessity of "thou ahalt not covet thy neighbor's man servant." Too often the surest way to down a rival has been to lure away some trusted never met mnv be the central renson i for her downfall. The millionaire squanders his millions and the ox- i ample Is followed by the poorest of the poor. America is the lnnd of those who live a life of "bluff" be causo our moneyed men have been extravagantly wasteful. 8ham, pre- tentlon, desire to appear to be or to be worth something more than wo are may readily he traced to the in- fluence of the unwise rich. If a man i la ntltled to all that ht can use righteously then some men ought to be deprived of nearly all they have. Those who have much should con- i slder It a bounden duty not to give cause to those who are less fortunate j than they to become covetous. The wasteful millionaire heads a list of thousands who are living far beyond their means. The list of suicides throughout our land Is filled with I names of men who. urged by unholy ! discontent, have risked and lost their all. But more than this covetousness Is unnecessary. I for one believe I that all men are entitled to fair hours, a fair wage, a decent home and a few of the luxuries of life. My heart goes out to the toiler who is ground and crushed in the whirling wheels of trade. My prayer Is that he soon may have a chance to live manly life. I take off my hat to his dlacontent. tor God knows there II reason for It. But to yearn for , better things and a decent chance in life Is not to be covetous. Covet- , ousness is unnecessary no matter I how poor a man may be. The blue sky arches over rich and poor alike. The air cares not whose lungs It tills. ; The sun smiles down impartially up OB us all. The love of God Is free. Wealth cannot buy the charm of studvlng humanity. Money cannot purchase love. Even a poor man may be upright, kind and fue and pure. The humblest soul may do the noble act or speak the cheering word God's Presence in All Evewts. The providence of God is a very comforting doctrine to the believer. Hi guides with His eye and holda in His hand the destinies of men and of nations: and His people have the comfortable asrurancO in the words of prophecy and in the examples of history that the eyes of the Lord run to aud fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in their behalf. His eye directs His hand und the arm of His power. He governs the world it unerring wisdom and for tho good of His people. He Coeth all in pursuance of the counsels 1 of His love concerning their sal vation. Hence, they have all the rea- , son in the world for trusting in Him and depending on Him, since wisdom and might are His. Therefore, In stead of all this worry, this self-planning and self-seeking, why not lot . God into our plans and take counsel Ol Him? He will keep and mould our lives. Hi! providence will end to the per taeting of our being according to i some one of His standards of infinite beauty. If only we do not, in our self-will, disturb the process. Every ' movement, every event, every trial ' He will work into the marvelous har- ', mony, so that by and by we may be gems of His crown of glory. If we. In our short-sightedness, cannot see the end from the beginning, what matters it bo long -s He sees it'.' An affectionate, confiding fait:, in God and His providence would save us half the annoyances of life that fret and worry us, for it would lift us up aDove me reacn oi , r.em. me promise to all of them that put their trust in God 1", "they shall mount SUNDAY, JUNE 23. ricly and Unholy Ambition Mark 10. 35-45 Passages for Refer ence lorui 5. 44; Phil. 3. 7-11. One of the most Interesting Inci dents recorded In the Word is given us in the main reference for our les on. They are on the way to Jeru salem, and as they go Jesus has told them of the coming days of sorrow nnd testing. He assures them that the way to victory lies through the valley of humiliation. It seems that there Is a mingling of strange emo tions In the breasts of the disciples James and John and their mother seem to have reasoned something like this: "Our Master has a hard experience to pass through. We will stand by him through it all, and cer tainly he will see our devotion, and be will reward us with the best places in the kingdom." It Is to be j feared that, although loyalty was there, yet the thought of exalted j position was more-in their thoughts. Their ambition for preferment was hardly restrained. The attitude of the other ten disciples toward them (Or milking the request shows that there was In their own hearts the I same spirit that they condemn in the two. It furnishes Jesus with an opportunity to teach thetn, and all ages, the striking contrast between the spirit of the world nnd of J Christ's kingdom. "Not to be mln Istered unto, but to minister." In the reference in John, Jesus charges , home to their hearts thut the sel. nehness which led them to seek honor one of another made It Impos- slblc for them to believe in htm. in Phlllppians, Paul takes a fair look at all the things In his posses sion and life, by which he might Claim honor among men. and then eavs he counts them as nothlug.

Culture of timber aa a farm crop seems to have reached u profitable stage in Illinois, whore glowers re port annual returns of $1.30 per acre from larch plantations and over $5 per acre from catalpa. These were the average results from twenty-six plantations, and the profits were ob tained from the sale of posts and poles. One of the larch plantations paid $7 per acre profit. Average re turns from black walnut plantations reported from the experience of sev eral growers in Illinois showed an an nual income of $2.03 per acre for posts. But this tree Is not adapted for quick returns, as It requires at least fifty years to reach a profitable cutting size. It i- reckoned that the annual returns for these plantings, reckoned as an Increase to be cut at the end of fifty years, was $3.32 to $3.06 per acre. Boston Cultivator. Moses. Heb. 11: 23-29.

It Is very plain that what Is nor most wanted In the Christian world is more faith. We too little respect faith, we dabble too much with rea son; fabricating gospels where we ought to be receiving Christ; limit ing all faith, if we chance to allow of faith, by the measures of previous evidence, and cutting the wings of faith r i" 11. laying bold of God, it conquers more aud higher evidence. Be It unto you according to your faith, is the true principle, and by that the whole life state of the church on earth always has been, al ways will be graduated "Increase our faith, then, Lord!" and be this our prayer. Bushnell. Economy in Heef Making. Here are some points in economical beef production that should not be forgotten at any time and that should certainly be remembered at this time, when most of the calves are starting on their careers. It costs much less to put a pound of gain on an animal during its first year than during Its fourth year or Its third year. Hence in economical beef production the animals must be made to gain rapid ly right from the start. Any slack- up in gain means a loaa. The gain of the calf at the time depends on the way it is fed and hnndled. But so does Its gain In the future to a considerable extent. Start the calf right and It Is easy to keep it going right. Care in handling and feeding the calf during the first two months of its life pays big. Weekly Witness. Keep Hoping Always. We are saved by hope. Never man hoped too much. The plague Is that we don't hope in God half enough. Hope never hurt any one never yet Interfered with duty; nay, it always strengthens to the performance of duty, gives courage, and clears tho judgment. St. Paul says we are saved by hope. Hope Is the most ra tional thing in the universe George MacEonald Moses the ltlble.

The plagues were only God's terrible signature, authenticat ing the sentence which the Egyp tians had written for themselves. As an athlete must strip off his clothes before he can contend for the prize, so Moses left the court of Pharoah, aud thereby assumed his crown. The greatest leaders work with the most unpromising material, as the potter takes common clay and the diamond cutter takes what seems an ugly pebble. Stile For Stone Wall.

The hand railing Is made of five strips of board, nailed together, bb shown in sketch. The upright strips set on tho ground, and extend far enough above tho stile to make tho hand rail convenient for anyone walking up and down the steps. The centre up right standard, explains Farm and Home, is set as close as can be to the Razor Strops.

Covetojsness is a curse. But while there is admonition aua lesson for those who are guilty of this seated sin there Is also another lesson for our day which springs out of this command.' The careless, os tentatious. Ill-balanced display of wealth by those who possess it is a sin. The ownership of property be yond the average enjoins wise ad ministration on the owner. The man at the top has a mighty regulative Influence upon the world of men be neath him. If men are covetous of other people's wealth, they are so, many limes, because plenty has flaunted Itself so recklessly in the dlnary temperature; the strips are then dried at the normal tempera ture, rubbed with soap and polished with pumice stone. They are finally fastened In the usual manner to wooden handles. Strops made in this way will give a smooth sharp edge to the razor. Scientific American. HER SCHEME.

The same markets are open to our people that are open to those people, and no duty bars the way. The dif ference la right here; they are dairy ing intelligently with good cows.

With hogs one of the plainest In dications thnt they have been crowd ed with feed when too young Is the breaking down In the feet. No single grain ration meets the entire wants of the young growing or fattening animal. In all cases, and especially with pigs, a good vari ety gives the best results. Dust, cobs and other filth should riot be allowed to accumulate on tho feeding floors. Cleanliness In the feeding places will aid materially in maintaining health. It Is much better to have the pigs a little hungry and come to their feed with a sharp appetite than to have them lazy and Indifferent about It If rich food is given the farrowing sow too soon and In too large quan tities, It will cause the milk flow to be too rich and abundant.

Too closo and long-continued In breeding tends to a rapid degenera tion in nearly all Instances. The amount of food consutned by swine in comparison with other ani mals in proportion to weight is very great. Young breeders in purchasing breeding stock should always give quality the preference before fancy points; when these can be had to gether, all right, but quality should come first. , Ifome-Mnde Land Roller. With four old mowing machine wheels, with the earth slugs cut off, an axle and a sickle bar, a very satis factory rollet can be made after the manner shown in the accompanying Illustration. One-half-lnch holes were drilled every four Inches about the outside rim of each wheel. Two by four oak planks three feet six inches long with half-inch holes bored close to the end, were bolted on the old mowing machine wheels, being care ful not to let the two by four project over the edge of the wheel. In the centre an old sickle bar with guards off was used with a two-inch hole In the centre. The ends were turned half around to fasten to the frame. This bkr was placed between the two sections of the roller. The LAND PoLLR Ily ADRIAN 4. BROWN. The following account of a toad at tacking a golden carp is of Interest from Its bearing on an ancient belief, that frogs and toads are nt enmity! with carp, and kill them by destroy ing their eggs: On March 20 my son directed (my attention to a large golden carp (C. auratus) lying In shallow water near the edge of a pond in my garden with a frog or toad apparently resting on Its head. The fish appeared to be very sluggish, and made no attempt to escape from a landing net with which It was easily brought to shore. On examination it was found that the head of the fish was held tightly by a medium-sized common toad (Bufo vulgaris) which had obtained a very firm grasp by Inserting Its fore limbs as far as the second, or elbow, Joint Into the sockets of the eyes of the unfortunate Ash. The ghoulish looking toad lay on the top of the fish's he; facing its tall, and with. 1t aind legs hanging In front of the fish's mouth. At first the appearance of the eyes of the fish led me to think they had been ruptured, but closer examination showed they were mere ly displaced and, turned partially round owing to the pressure exerted by the Intrusion of the toad's limbs between the eyes and their sockets. On carefully withdrawing tho toad's fore limbs, which were in serted to the extent of about one Inch within the eye-sockets, the eyes re turned to their normal position ap parently uninjured, but during their displacement the flsh must have been quite blind. No effort of the fish could have rid Itself of the toad after it had once obtained the remarkable grasp which has been described, and It nppears very probable that the flsh would have died In a short time. How tho toad In the first, instance obtained a hold In the sockets of the fish's eyes appears very puzzling, but a probable reason for Its attempt to obtain a grasp, and for its holding on when a grasp was obtained, may per haps be found In the unreasoning In stinct which toads appear to possess at spawning time of grasping some thing firmly with their fore limbs. A few years ago In the same pond referred to above, I found a toad em bracing a water-logged puff-ball so firmly that It required considerable force to release the fungus from the amphibian's grasp.

Koine Facts About Hogs. If you want clean pork, feed clean food. Fllthlness and undt . llness In food tends toward disease. A sow that does not prove a good mother should be disc arded The boar should have abundant exercise and a continued variety of food. One good service in nil that Is nec essary to produce a complete litter of pigs. There Is no animal so easy to fatten when it has no exercise as the pig. To maintain healthy and' stock gettlng power, a boar must have ex orcise. All the good qualities belonging to the race cannot bo found lu any single breed. If there Is any coarseness In either t (Ik let it bu with the sow rather than tho boar, Rumble Foot. This starts with a corn on the sole of the foot, caused by hard or stony fowl runs, or by birds having to jump from high perches on to a hard floor. It noticed when only the thick ness of the skin it can be cured by paring away and removing bird' to a soft or sandy run. But If neglected for some time the corn Increases, eventually going right through the foot, causing great pain and impedi ment in moving about, besides being very unBlghtly. When it has reached this stage it is very difficult t. cure, but it Is cruel to allow a fowl to gc hobbling about with this distressing complaint. Great relief may be given by penning the bird up In a coop thickly covered with straw and poul ticing the foot until the parts become quite soft, when the yellow, cheesy matter can be squeezed out. But this is tedious work; it is much bettei to take the small blade of a sharp pen-knife, Insert It light through the bad spot and cut outwards, severing the web In two. It will bleed freely, but if the operation is done under a water tap, blood will soon cease to flow. All the yellow secretions can then be removed, and when all are taken away thoroughly, wash out with strong phenyle and water; ap ply crude phenyle to the wounds and carefully bind up the foot with linen bauds, tying each on separately so that the fowl can not pick them off. The bird should then only be allowed to run on sand or straw until the wound Is healed. Farmers' Home Journal. A Biting Jest.

Observations demonstrate, how ever, that the wind never blows in straight lines because all bodies of air when in motion are acted upon by a law of nature called the "deflecting force of the earth'B rotation." This force turns all wind to the right of Its course In the northern hemis phere and to the left in the southern. Thus if a wind in our hemisphere starts north It is soon turned slowly toward the northeast, or if It starts west it will soon turn toward, the northwest. When it is remembered that at the equator the earth is rotat ing at the enormous velocity of 1035 miles an hour one will not wonder that such a deflecting force could ex ist. All areaB ot high and low press ure, from whatever cause, therefore become whirling masses of air, aud a little thought will show that they must turn iu the low areas, or "Lows," as they aro designated on the weather map, always rotate in a direction contrary to the movement of the hands of a watch.

"I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, it is more blessed to give than to receive." (Acta 20:36). The world's principle is that it is the most blessed thing in the world to receive, and to keep that which we have. The principles ot heaven works on exactly the opposite principle from that of the ruler of this world. It Is a vonderful thing that this saying, though not recorded In tho gospels by any of the evangelists, was thought worthy of record by Luke, who received It from the apos tle Paul. This was the controlling principle of the life or Jesus, also of the life of the apostle Paul, who fol lowed Jesus. It will be the control ling principle of every one who Is a Christian. We recoive but to give, and the greatest joy In this world is to give. The greatest blessing comes in giving. My dear brother, do you know that one reason why your spiritual exper ience is not clear and bright may be that you do not give as Is your privil ege? What a blessing would coma to many who read this article if they were to give until it became a real sacrifice! During the week of prayer Just past you may havo had your heart drawn out in longing for the blessing of God, and yet it may be that you are closing the channel to God's blessing by not giving what God has given you. There are many calls. A blessing Is in every one for those who give, and not only give, but sacrifice to give. Some one who reads this arti cle could easily give $liuo and mora to tho various funds appealing tor aid, and it would be a great blessing and joy to him. Others could give, by a little effort, one-half that amount, and there aro many who read this artlclo who can givo $100. My brother, my sister, you knW. whether you can do this. He who gives will In return receive a greater blessing than he would were some one to make him a present of that ear amount. Review aud Herald. The Good Endures. -"No good deed, no genulno sacri fice, is ever wasted. If thore be good in it, Gcd wlTi use It for His own holy, -purposes; and whntover of Ignorance, or weakness, or mistake, was mingled with It, will drop away as the with ered petals drop away when the full flower has blown." Taking the Lite Out. By the time you have boiled your faith down to a form you have taken the lite out of it. Let us vow, as we love our Ideals, that we will never endure to forsake the company of our fellows, the rank and file ot mankind. We will never despise the common toll. We will ' not antagonise' men If we can help jt We will -keep together und act to g. tiier. whenever we can. We would, not drive men It we could, us we would not be driven ourselves. a will persuade them. We will never forget that the worst men are yet men. We will not turn any out of the temple ot our humanity. Our 1 faith iu democracy is our hope in hu manity; that is, that Justice and. friendliness are in all men. if we be Hove this we can afford tu be endless ly patient. Charles F. Dole. HOW IT HAPPENED.
