"Who is able to stand before this holy Lord God?" Their question is a very sug- gestive one. for the holiness which God requires in His law. which is holy and just and good. is so great that no [1)le can stand before it. even as it is written: “if thou. Lord. should- est mark iniquities. U Lord. who shall stand? But till-re is forgiveness with thee * '“ *“ (Rom. \‘ii. 12; 1’s. cxxx. 3!. The way out for all, for all have sinned and come short. is that the nec- essary limitless 15 found in Christ. who perfectly kept this hoiy law and is made righteousness unto all who re ceive Him (ll (or. v. 21; I Cor. i. 30). The ark found a resting place at Kir- jath-jearini for many years in the house of Alliiiadab in the hill until David reuioved it to a tent Whit'b he had pitched for it in Jeruxalem (11 Sam. vi. 3. «h. After it had been twen- ty years there lsrael seetnt-d to awake to a desire for the Lord. for it is said that thoy “lamented after the Lord" (verses l. 2:. it may have been that after the catastrophe at Ebt'Ut‘Zt‘J'. in which the sons of Eli \vuro- stain and the ark of Good taken aml lu‘t'illXSt‘ of whivh Eli (lied.

So all Israel gathered togetb. er to Mizpeh that Samuel might pray for them (verses 5. 69. They drew wa- t'r and poured it out before the Lord and fasted and confessed their sin. The wise woman of Tekoa said. “We are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again" (11 Sam. xiv, 14p, and in Lam. ii, 19. we read. “Pour out thine heart like water be fore the face of the Lord." True emptiness before Him will always bring His fullness; hie perfects His strength in our weakness: when we are nothing then He can work. There must he no will nor way nor thoughts of ours to hinder. The l’hilistineS, hearing of the Israel movement. went hp against them. for when the people of God turn to Him with purpose of heart the devil always wakes up to oppose. lsrael did the right thing in saying to Samuel. “Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God for us." So Samuel offered a sacrifice and cried unto the Lord. and the Lord heard him and thundered with a great thun- der and discomfited the i‘hilistines. and they came no more into the coast of israel all the days of Samuel (verses 1113). We are reminded of such words as there: "The God bf glory thundereth:” “God thunderoth marvelously with His voice; great things doeth He. which we cannot comprehend" (Ps. xxix, 3; Job xxxvil. 5). Neither thun- der nor lightning should cause us any fear 11' we are right with Him, but should rather make us rejoice to hear His voice and see His might. As Noah. Daniel and Job are quoted as samples of righteous men :Ezek. xiv. 14-20». so Moses and Samuel are men- tioned as great intercessors (Jer. xv. CAN “THE TIGHT LITTLE ISLE” BE INVADED ?

L t" 5‘ \ Wkkzw-E Six Specific Requisites to Be Borne In Mind in Building One. [North Dakota agricultural experiment 31:1 t ion] The specific things to bear in mind in the mnstruvtiun of potato ware- houses um temperature. ventilation. soil drainage. (-mn'oniem'e. durability and cost. Tem perat u re. .. The ideal temperature in a potato warehouse is between 33 and 333 degrees i<‘ahrenheiL Although provision should he made for heating during extreme weather. the house should he so .vonstrneted that the proper temperature can be maintained during Cold weather without the use of artificial heat. The objection to art!- ficial heat is that it is impossible to maintain an even tmr peratnre through- out the entire house. The tenmerature of potatoes near the store will invari- ably he too high while potatoes may be freezing in remote parts of the house. Ventilationâ€"J'roVision must he made for-veniiation so as to maintain the proper temperature. the requisite pure- BOSS 01’ air and :‘o. desirable dryness of atmosphere. The sehe no of ventila- tion should he so arranged that it is under easy control of the 'aretaker. To this end the walls of the house mUSt be as amid noixvomlin‘°t(_irs of heat as is consistent with economy in con- struction. All doors should be double and as tight as PH:~I>‘il)i('!. The temperature in :1 warehouse Will graduuliy rise tn'wmw} spring. but a properly constrm-tod one may be kept at the desired temperature for :1 long time by ventilating at night and shut- ing the house as tightly as possible during the day time. § To Destroy Weeds In -Wal|c. There is no need of weeds in walks or paths. Either salt or blue vltrlol boiled in water a pound to the gallon and sprayed on boiling hot with a we- terlng pot will kill them. About a gal- lon to the square yard will cure the most stubborn case. and the cure last: for years. Soil Drainageâ€"“hen a potato ware- house ot the basement type is to be constructed the height of the water table in the ground during seasons when potatoes may be stored should be Investigated. If there is danger of water and there is no means of re- moving it, it is better to place the base- ment floor above the danger line and to grade up around the house until it is buried to the-desired depth. Durability and Costâ€"In well drained soils that do not care readily. quite satisfactory basement warehouses have been constructed. at small cost, that consist merely of a roofed over exca- vation with walls having a slope of 1 to 1. in most lnmlities, however, this is not practical. and where potato growingds taken up as a permanent business a more. durable warehouse should be constructed. To insure durability all underground construc- tion should be of stone. brick or con- crete. and in most instanves concrete will be found cheapest and best suited for basements Care must be taken to insure that all planks. joists and supports of driving doors have ample strength to support the heavy loads; as well as the dead weight of potatoes which may be stored on the floor. Roughly, the oust of a large first Class potato warehouse will amount to about 10 cents per bushel of its storage ca- pacity. That is, a good 10,000 bushel warehouse. for example, will cost about $1,000 so that 10 cents per bushel on the first crop stored pays for the warehouse. Adjustable Flower~Stand. An adjustable flower stand. which may be extended from a small square to occupy an elongated position across a window. is the product of a German (actory. The construction is simple, the material being iron or steel coated with some rust preventing paint and the ordinary extension joint calm-Papal”, Mechanics. Eradicating Weeds. Getting a weed in time saves more than nine. An average plant of wild mustard. for instance. will produce 15.- 000 seeds in a season. Don’t let weeda go to seed It is true that the American farmer does not produce as much per core as the farmer in a num- ber of civilized nations. but pro- duction per acre is not the Amer- ican standard. The standard is the amount of produce for each person engaged in agriculture, and‘ by this .test the American farmer appears to be from two to six times as efficient as most of his competitors. Relatively speaking, extensive farming is still economically the sound pro- gram‘ in our agriculture, but now it is becoming increasingly ap- parent that the aim must be, while maintaining supremacy in production for each person, to es- tablish supremacy in production for each acreâ€"I’rn'm Annual Re- port, 1914. of Secretary of Agri- culture.
