These men who were thus cleansed
at the word of Christ failed to da a
very little thing, but It Indicated a
want of appreciation that made It
equivalent to a very great sin. They
did not think It was worth while to go
immediately to Christ to thank him.
They thought some other time would
do as well. They could not see that
the receiving of God's gifts placed
ihem under Imtnodiate obligation to
the giver, and that the fact that the
i;lft was prompted by love made that
obligation all the more urgent.

and from God. Sm!'He we grant to
our skeptical frb-nds that the Insnlr-fttk-n
of the nible is tlie same In kind
as the Inspiration of other books of
eminent authors. SM1I th decree
of inspiration Is fo manifestly creator
in the authors or tne siMv-six bmks
of Scripture t h fit It amounts to a dif
ference In kind as well as in dec;;-??.
As a rule, tti" men who wrote tl:n
books of the Hll.de were not w hat we
would csll educated men. They were
shepherds, fishermen, herdsmen, sol
diers, kins. They lived In a nation
which never had n literature, and yet
these pixty-sdx books written by more
than forty diiTerent authors livlni?
more than lSOfi years apart, all have
one theme, and they wrote upon It
with a power, a nobility and a sub
limity unequalled In all literature.
From that eldest day In Genesis to
that last moment when John's nen of

move down the asteg n the presence
of one and the same Belnc. "In the

was putting forth all bis energies to
prevent the establishment of Cod's 1

of Jesus' name. Certain Jews who j
went about therountry making money I
nut of the misfortunes of others, tak- 1
ing note of this fact, sought to make-1
use of the name of JesiM for their
own gain. They cared nothing for !
Jesus or the glory of His name. Their '
own gain glory were the sole object 1
of their pursuit. They named over
those which had evil snlrlts "the ;
name of the Lord Jesus," but they 1
did not call Him Lord (cf. 1 Cor. IS:!
3, Rom. 10:9). It Is not by the
Jesus whom some one else preacheth, '
but. by the Jesus who we ourselves
know, that we accomplish, real results '
for God. The evil spirit was forced
to acknowledge Jesus and also the
faithful servant of Jesus, Paul (cf.
fussing with things that do not mat

This Is alike the sin of youth and
nge. God showers us with hlg gifts.
Indeed, he 'ioadeth us with benefits,"
: and we take those gifts as a matter of
I course, and do not show either by
, word or by act any appreciation of
; their worth. We take everything so
I freely offered, and for all these mer
! cles we give nothing but slights; we
' puss them as scarcely worthy of no-
t!ce.
Almost every mother knows how
God must feel, for the child Is apt to
; take tlie mother's love ns a matter of
i course, and neglect any expression of
i thankfulness. If slighted gifts like
I those of love and sacrifice are brealt
' ing the hearts of many mothers, no
I less is it true that the slights given
j the Father are breaking the divine
heart. And remember that the sin
I that wounds the heart of God the
deepest is the greatest sin. Judged by
this standard, these nine lepers were
i sinners above the average, but not
sinners above many of our own time.
flcleiice Testllles For Inhibition.
The thlrty-ulnth annual meeting
of the American Society for the Study
of Alcohol and Other Narcotics held
at Atlantic City Indicated a tremend
oils advance among medical men In
their interest In the alcoholic prob
lem. Dr. Kress' paper, on "Grain and
Frulls as a Dirt," to prevent drink
ing, was a now phase of the sub
ject which attracted a great deal of
attention.
Dr. Crothers' paper, on "Tubercu
losis and Inebriety," showed a very
close relation between the two dis
eases. Kvery paper road was a tremend
ous argument for nrohlbltlon, al
though that word did not appear.
The discussions which followeil
showed that the conviction of alcohol
being one of the dangerous remedies
and drugs Is growing rapidly among
the profession everywhere.
The American Medical Associa
tion which met at the KRme time
showed startling evidence of the ef
fects of the alcoholic movement In
tht. banquets and dinners that were
given without alcohol In any form.
The ex-presldenta of the 'Associa
tion and their friends celebrated
their dinner without spirits for the
first lime in their history, and other
issoclations showed a marked change
in public Kfntiment.
Another significant hint was the
aUenllor given by the public press
to iht; noi.lety for the study of alco
hol and its proceedings. All the
drily papers In the neltrlilinrhrmil
I noted what It said, giving It eciual
prominence to that of other medical
papers.
Another clgnlficant fact was the
local Interest In the churches. A
warm Invitetlon was elven tn the
reugious Truths
From thm Writings of Great
Jfreacher.

Exercise For Fowls.
There Is no doubt that exercise It
very beneficial to fowls. Among hu
mans the lack of exercise combined
with high feeding causes most trou
blesome diseases, such as dropsy.
The same laws govern the animal
orld. There are several things that
exercise does. One of these is, It
prevents the birds becoming too fat,
which In turn destroys their useful
ness. No matter how much a bird
eats, if it exercises it will keep the
fat from accumulating, as the mus
cular exertion causes the lungs to
work excessively, and In doing this
they burn up a large amount of car
bon, which comes from the food. Be.
ing burned up in this way, It does not
accumulate on the body and around
the intestines in the form of fat.
In the poultry house, whole eraln
should be fed in cut straw or chaff
spread thickly. If it is fed In hsy or
whole straw the task of uncovering It
is too light. The. finer the straw the
more perfectly will it cover the grain
that is sown In it, and the more dim
cult will be the task of getting It out,
which the hens must do kernel by
kernel. If poultry keepers would
follow this plan their fowls would lay
more eggs, for the reason that they
would not be over-fat and would be In
generally good health. The mere fact
of exercise does not cause the produc
tion of eggs.

The close affiliation between the
nloon and the social evil Is notorious
It was acknowledged by President
lulius Llebman, of the United Brew
sra' Association. In his address at its
ntiual convention, held in Milwau
kee, June 9 and 10, 1908.
In the report of that address pub
llshed in the Brewers' Journal of
Sew York, July l, 1908, on page 396,
President Llebman la quoted saying:
"The abuse of the saloon is marked
?y disorderly and disreputable prac
tlccs, which are not incidental to the
business. We agree with ull decent
aien upon these points.
"1. That the saloon ohould not be
usod to foster the social evil and
mould be utterly divorced from it
"2. That the saloon ahonlrt nnt ha
ased for gambling purposes,
"3 That the saloon should not be
ypen to minors, and that tho sale of
fntnxleants to children should be pro

Determining Kach Man's Fnitli.
Every life will have its religion ac
cording to Its development. It is
folly to look for uniformity in faith
until you have uniformity in the
faithful, until all minds are alike the
things those minds can see must vary.
The religion of the man who thinks
in the terms of the laws of a universe
must be different from that of the
one who cannot think beyond his din
ner pall or his back yard.
If religion is the life of ideals, the
power within us that pushes out and
on toward the realization ln our
selves and our conditions of the best
we know and hope for, then each
man's faith will be determined by his
vlHion and his knowledge; every Indi
vidual creed will be conditioned by
the individual's stage of culture.
It Is folly for the trained mind to
seek satisfaction ln the ideals whose
bounds are set by the untrnined
mind, Just as It equally is foolish for
him to mock at the vision tlint cheers
the lowlier life. Nearly nil the sup
posed difficulties between science and
religion arise from the attempt to
force to a common viewpoint ln relig
ious minds that dwell almost a whole
universe apart in all the rest of their
thinking.
A Pair of Partridge Wynnilottes.
Among the many beautiful and use
ful breeds of poultry which have
made their appearance during the
past few years none surpasses the
Partridge Wyandotte.
They are handsome, vigorous and
large, combining all the good quali
ties needed in the make-up of the
modern day money-maker of the pcul
try yard.
The foundation stock of this breed
is so well known and so popular that
we need say nothing in its praise, the
Originals, the Sliver Laced, the Buff
and the Golden Laced being recog
nized as among the best ot all our
standard breeds.
As can be seen the Partridge Wy-
andottes have compact bodies, clean.
! yellow shanks and beaks. low rose
combs and scarcely any wattles. They
are Ideal fowls for cold climates, and
cannot be excelled in mild or warm
localities. They are good foragers,
but will stand confinement ln close
quarters and are splendid layers dur
ing the cold season.
Sanctiflcntlon vs. Fanaticism.
In proportion as the heart becomes
sanctided, there Is a diminished ten
dency to enthusiasm and fanaticism.
And this is undoubtedly one of the
leading tests of sanctlfleatlon. One
of the marks of an enthusiastic and
fanatical state of mlud Is a fiery and
unrestrained impetuosity of feeling,
a rushing on sometimes very blindly,
as if the world were ln danger, or as
If the great Creator were not at the
belra. It is not only feeling without
a good degree of Judgment, but what
Is the corrupting and fatal trait It Is
feeling without a due degree of confi
dence ln God. True holiness reflects
the image of God in this respect as
well as in others, that it is calm,
thoughtful, deliberate, Immutable
And how can it be otherwise, since
rejecting its own wisdom and
strength, It Incorporates Into itself
the wisdom and strength of the Al
mighty. Rev. Thomas C. Upham.

Beef Scrap For Fowls.
. Beef scrap Is Indispensable for
yarded fowls, and for range fowls
also In winter. They only eat a
small quantity after gradually feed
ing it to them, even when kept in
their reach all the time, but this lit
tle they must have to be profitable as
layers or breeders. It, like the alf
alfa, may either be fed dry, and kept
In their reach all the time, or fed in
the mashes. Two heaped tablespoon,
fuls to a dozen fowls per day, if fed
In mash, produce good results. When
giving a mash feed give all that will
be eaten up clean, but none to be left.
Mrs. J. C. Deaton, in Progressive
Farmer.
An Important Appurtenance.
An important article of furniture
for the poultry bouse is a shallow
box ot four compartments, for oyster
shells, grit, mash and charcoal. This
should also be so placed that litter
Is not thrown Into It. Also havo a
box of road dust, with a sprinkling
ot ashes, and occasionally a dust of
sulphur or Insect powder. "An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure."
A Handsome Living.
Col. Roessle once said there may
not be any very large fortunes made
ln poultry raising, but there Is a
handsome living for any one who has
the love for the pursuit, the ability
to raise and care for the stock, and
a small capital to start with. These
three things must go band ln hand;
separately they cannot bring success.
Moist Mash,
If moist mash Is used and we
think best to use It where fowls are
confined (o small yards, and have ac
cess to'no fresh green food It may
be fed at noon to advantage. Two
pounds of shredded alfalfa, scalded,
and one pound ot bran added to make
It a crumbly mash. Is good.

Man and His Clothes.
' Man Is some sort of a slave to bit
clothes, and there are many men whe
dislike wearing the same clothes on
two consecutive days. More particu
larly the necktie. For the first two
or three things you look at when you
meet a man are bis eyes and his
necktie. And there Is a sort ot un
derlying consciousness as you face
the morning world that your tie must
be straight and clean and new. But
to this end you must buy the cheep
tie. and throw It away with your sins
before going to bed. Loudon Cbron-lota.
