As you look about you. with a knowledge of contem poraneous conditions In the time of our Ixird. you wonder, not, after the manner of Xathanael, how could "any good thing come out of Nazareth;" but how could any high souled young man living under the spell of an Iden tical environment help being less than a prophet to his people. Nazar eth is the sort of place In which we would Imagine the boyhood of Christ to have been spent, even as the life Jeoparding Galileans were the kind nf men Jesus needed to constitute the early company of His disciples.

His spotless heart was stirred by Him whose evangel He was. The men who tried to kill Him by throwing Him down hill achieved thereby an everlasting notoriety of a r.omew hnt Impersonal character.

A remarkable editorial in Bonfort's "Wine and Spirit Circular" (New York ) warns the saloon that It must reform or go, for the people aro be coming disgusted with its evils. The recent Prohibition victory in Knox ville Is thought by umio papers to be due to a revulsion of feeling against the saloon rule of city politics rather than to the conversion of voters to total abstinence; and it Is the convic tion of this weighty organ of tho liquor trad" that if the saloon busi ness throughout the country does not mend Its ways It will "be prohibited In nil places Bave the business or ten derloin precincts of our larger cities." So serious is tho situation, Indeed, that last June the National Whole sale Liquor Denlers' Association Is sued an appeal for the purification of the saloon, and a few weeks ago the Kentucky Distillers' Association ap pointed a commission of live to con sider the advisability of railing a na tional convention to frame a license law that can be pi t sented to the State Legislatures in nlace of the ' radical and Impracticable legislation" now being urged, and often successfully, bv the Anti-Saloon League. We quote these striking ii.rugraolis from the "Wine and Spirit Circular:" "With more than one-half of the geographical limits of this groat coun try under laws prohibiting the sale of ulcohollc beveragas; with Tennes see passing through her Legislature a bill that almost amounts to State Prohibition; with the West Virginia Legislature parsing a measure to sub mit the prohibition of the manufac ture and sale of wines and spirits to a vote of the people; with Texas pro viding that express companies trans porting wlns and spirts shall take out a $5000 license; with the Illinois Legislature considering a county-unit local-option measure, and Indiana a xlOOO license for the few saloons that, the Remonstrance law will leave in that State; with Kentucky almost a 'dry' State and probably facing a leg islative session that will submit a prohibitory amendment; with an or ganization opposing us and sworn to our destruction that seems to lack nothing In the way of money or brains, enthusiasm or persistent, un tiring work what, may we ask, Is the wine and spirit trade doing to ar rest the current of events or to alter In any way the radical conclusions which are being forced upon the peo ple In every State, county and pre cinct? "If there is one thing that seems settled beyond question It Is that tho retail liquor trade of this country must either mend Its ways materially or be prohibited in all places save the business or tenderloin precincts of our larger cities. "If the Anti-Saloon League can maintain Its present organization it looks as If It will certainly destroy the legalized saloon in all of the Southern States, excepting perhaps In Missouri, and It Is certainly making strong headway in Indiana, Ohio, Illi nois. Wisconsin, Minnesota and other Western and Northern States." Far from sneering at tho Anti-Saloon League, the "Wine and Liquor Circular" pays Its respects thus: "The Anti-Saloon League is not a mob of long-haired fanatics, as some of the writers and speakers connected with our business have declared, but it is a strongly centralized organiza tion, officered bv men of unusual abil ity, financiered by capitalists with very long nurBes, subscribed to by hundreds of thousands of men. wo men and children who are solicited by their various churches, advised by well-paid attorneys of great ability, and it Is working with definite Ideas to guide it, in every State, in every county, in every city, and in every precinct. "If the Anti-Saloon League 19 de feated at any point it Immediately prepares for another attack elong new lines, and when it Bucceeds it at once begins work for a more telling vie torv. "Precinct local option, with the Anti-Saloon League, is but tho fore runner of county local option, and this again Is merely intended as a stepping-stone to State Prohibition. There Is no question that, this organi sation has well-nrepared idans for controlling the legislative branch of the government at Washington, xnd of passing a national prohibitory law ot some time In the future: but before It undertakes so gigantic an enter prise It Is workliiK to crlnple he trade In every possible way. and while we sleet) It is succeeding In t'ie most substantial manner."

Nor were his parents under condemna tion. Only In the wide sense that since sin came there are all sorts of blindness In the world had sin aught to do with the blind man's affliction. Verses 3, 4.

What aro the condi tions? The class usually meets half an hour before the morning service. There are no Introductory exercises, no operatic solos, nor quartettes. I have often wondered whether the modern church does not enormously overdo that matter for nlne-tenthj of the congregation, and whether the other tenth Is spiritually strengthened by the performance. An introductory prayer In the Spirit, und often tho form of "Lord, open Thou mine eyes to behold won drous things out of Thy law," is all. The Sunday-school lesson of the week Is generally used. The Idea that It Is a child's school is avoided. A manly man meets men on manly themes. Tho highest conceivable manhood was revealed by Christ, and His Word and deeds appeal to men. An esprit de corps, a comradeship Is developed. Efficiency in bringing in new members Is recognized and encouraged. The advantages of a men's club are enjoyed with none ot its drawbacks. But the Bpeclal attraction Is th Word of God. If it were really be lieved that God were speaking from some new Slnal, millions would throng there. Voices have been spoken that need to be reuttered tc many that have never heard them. If they are rightly reuttered, man will be glad to come and hear.

Christian Conduct Toward All i j Men at All Times, 14, 15. The "dla- I orderly" (particularly those who j j would not work, cf. 2 Thess. 3:6, 11; 1 Thess. 4:11), they should "admon ish," "the faint-hearted" they should I "encourage," "the weak" (those splr- Itually weak) they should "support." ' I The word for "support" is a very ex- I presslve one. It means to take hold j lot so as to support (cf. Gal. 6:1, 2; I Ro. 15:1; 1 Cor. 9:22). "Long suf fering toward all." "There is no be- 1 ; llever who needs not the exercise of ! I patience "toward" him; there is none I to whom a believer should not show j it." Under no circumstances must we oay back the evil that any other man j does ub (cf. Ro. 12:17; 1 Pet. 3:9; 2:23; Luke 23:34; Acts 7:60). We I should "always follow after (as a j matter of eager pursuit) that which I is good, ono toward another," and not ' only so, but "toward all," even the I bitterest infidel and persecutor. III. The Will of God, 16-18. I Three things every believer should do ' all the time rejoice, pray and give i thanks, this Is God's will in Christ ! Jesus to usward. A Christian should , rejoico every day and every hour (cf. Phil. 4:4. 6; Rom. 14:17; 12:12; Acts 6:41; Jas. 1:2). A Christian ! should pray, not intermittently, but constantly. Every day should be a "day of prayer" (cf. Eph. 6-18) Phil. ! 4:6). Only as be prays without ceas ! lug will the Christian rejoice always. ' In everything, absolutely everything, should the Christian give thanks (cf. Eph. 5:20). I IV. Entire Buuctiflcation, 10-24. I When any one receives the Holy ; Spirit he receives a holy fire (cf. j Matt. 3:11; Acts 2:3; 2 Tim. 1:6. R. I V., Marg.). This fire should not he quenched. We quench this fire In ourselves by not yielding to the fire that burns within. We quench this fire in others when we throw cold water upon them as they seek to obey the prompting ot the Holy Spirit. Some in Thessalonlca thought lightly of the utterances of others who spoke under the Holy Spirit's Influence. Yet they must not accept every man's claim to speak by the Spirit. They should "prove all things" (cf. 1 Jno. 4:1). They should seek to find out whether the claim was true or false. Every claim to Bpeak by the Spirit should be tested by a comparison with the teachings of the Written word (cf. Isa. 8:20; Acts 17:11; Gal. 1:8. 9). No man's claim to author- Rev! 1 lty Rnd infallibility should be accept- ed merely because he makes the claim. That which stands the test and is found to be good we should "hold fast" (cf. Luke 8:15, B. V.; 1 Cor. 11:2, R. V.; Heb. 2:1).

We have them in both single and rose comb, the two being precisely alike In other respects. They are what might be termed large fowls, males weighing eight or nine pounds and the females seven or eight. . The males aro a beautiful dark red and the females a deep reddish buff. They are splendid types of the modern utility fowl, and bid fair to rival some of the old breeds during the next few years. They are splendid table fowls, good layers of large, dark colored eggs, and one ot the hardiest breeds known. Feeding Young Chicks. Get some good commercial chick feed and if possible some old process oat meal. Give one feed daily of the oat meal In the litter of clover or chaff and three feeds of the chick feed, in all five feeds daily for the first ten dayB, then four times a day for the next two weeks and three times a day thereafter until they are put out on free range. Feed lightly but often Is the motto for young chicks. Give green food In sonm form, chopped cabbage, lettuce leaves or green grass cut fine. Atlmal food of some kind must be provided or the chicks will be found trying to eat each other up. Those who have or can secure skim milk will find noth ing better than curd made from sour skim milk, mixed to a crumbly statu with corn meal, and given on the board once a day. Otherwise dry milk albumen or finely ground beef scraps can be given. After the first day In the brooder fresh water should be given and renewed often. Use a good drinking fountain that will keep the water from getting foul. Skim milk in a sour or clobbered state is good for fowls or chickens' to drink, but do not give too much. Every other day Is sufficient. Too much will cause bowel looseness. Fine cracked corn and whole wheat can ba fed In place of chick feed after four weeks' old, but the latter is far the be3t to use for young chicks as it Is always convenient and ready. Though a little more expensive, the real dif ference in cost amounts to compara tively nothing, as young chicks can not consume enough to make the dif ference appreciable. The old idea that chicks require a culinary depart ment is fully exploded. Do not waste time and patience of the good houaewlfe In baking johnnycake or other "specialties." Modern chicken foods and appliances have reduced the burden of chick culture by half, and at the same time made It more successful. ) Patching Broken Eggs. When an egg is broken on the nest It is usually believed that It will not hatch, but we find the cracked shell can be patched up by taking a piece of shell from another egg and press ing It firmly over the cracked part ol the broken egg. In this way it some times happens that very valuable eggi may be saved and hatched as It noth ing had happened. L. Smith, In American Cultivator. Keep Hens In.
