Peter, in his first Epistle (1: 6), speaks of those who "have been put to grief in manifold temptations," in which their faith is tried and ved. Their mourning is the nltu'nfrgorief and sorrow of those who suffer loss or pain or affliction because of their adherence to the right, and, especially, in the service of TChrist. For them there shall be comfort. There is no doubt, too, that the Lord would extend this comfort to all who mourn the loss of loved ones or share in loving sympathy the grief and pain of others. .A prophet of the earlier age pronounces arwell deserved ‘doom upon those who "are not grieved for the affliction" of their nation (Amos 6: 6; compare Ezek. 9, 4â€"6). And an apostle enjoins the Christian folk who would follow Christ‘s example to "weep with them that weep" (Rom. 12: 15). wounded soldiers in time of war has made her name forever memorable, wrote the following words: "Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see Godâ€"in all temptations,â€" trials, and aridities, in the agony and bloody sweat, in the cross and passion; this is not the prerogative of the f’mro life, but of the present."

This is a blessing for those who do not think themselves to be good, but who long for goodness with all the hunger of their souls, And they desire with the same longing that righteousâ€" ness and justice may be established in the world, and are willing to give themselves in wholeâ€"hearted endeavor for such an end.

The varâ€" amount of feathers in The average farmer is a poor eom-' omist in many ways. Too many timeés,; he tries to force the market price for | -fiepcodumthsthenlhtonhiglmi level, when he is already getting a good market price for his prodncts.i Each farmer wants the market price of farm produce to correspond to his! particular cost of production, never | stopping to ask himself the question, "Am I producing these articles u“ cheaply as is possible?" The farmer ‘lhould:im in every instance to imâ€" prove the quality of his product and lower the cost of production in every way. If your neighbor can raise one hundred bushels per acre on the same kinq'gf soil which you farm, and you are ‘able to, raise but fifty bushels per acre, it is not reasonable for you to ask twice as much per bushel as your neighbor in anâ€"effort to get the same income from the land. The thing to do is to find some way mudx,uflxinisthoonl'ymothodby‘ whi¢bounfindoutjustwheretho leakage is taking place. If you had a barrel filled with some liquid and you determined by measuring that it‘ was slowly leaking, you wouldn‘t say, "Well, I would not look for the leak, because I do not want to find it." No, you @would immediately look for the teakandfindsomewtyboptopit. Why not do the same thing with your farming if it is not paying as much as it should ? Farm on Business Basis. There are too many farmers that do not combine business ability with farming. They depend too much on simply selling their labor after it has been converted into crops. The most progressive farmers that we.have are good business men and financiers. see into the future and are able to meet the conditions when they arise. They are not easily influenced by temporary depressions in market conâ€" ditions, as they are usually shrewd enough to sit tight and wait for the positive reaction that usually follows. jellyfish sort of a man. If you want him to be manly, strong, and vigorous, is too wide a variation. The average farmer does not keep any accounts of hiofarnfing‘ndforthhreumhe does not know just what l.is producâ€" tion is costing him. Some farmers say that they have tried keeping acâ€" counts but became discouraged at the showing they were making and quit it. It sems to me that the farmer would be anxious to continue keeping The wor‘d does not dictate what you shall do; but it does demand that you do something and that you be king in your line. a rcbust character, you must put him through the training which alone can produce such a product. of raising one hundred bushels per acre instead of fifty bushels. It would be impractical to think of regulating it from either of the extremes as there says that these words of promise, they shall see God, have always been understood by him as having referâ€" ence, like the other Beatitudes, to acâ€" tual human life, and not to some exâ€" perience beyond the grave. It is here and now that the pure in heart see God. But impure and selfish thoughts and debds obscure that vision of faith. 10. Which Are Persecuted. _ The disciples of Christ who heard these words were destined in after years to suffer much persecution. They must have often recalled them with great comfort, so that even in the midst of persecution they could rejoice. Compare 1 Peter 3: 14â€"18; James 1: For an oldâ€"fashioned toy thact deâ€"‘ lights children, provide tissue paper,! a pane of glass and a piece of silk.! From the tissue paper cut tiny dolls‘ or animails or whatever the chi‘.dren‘l wish. If you cut out dolls, you can play that they are kindergarten chil-.l dren and seat them in a circle, or you can play that they are fine ladies surJ rounding a queen. Maving arranged: the dolls, place the pane of g].ass! above them for a roof, supported by} two piles of books; then rub the upâ€"I per side of the glass with a piece of ; silk. That will cause the bits of tissue‘ to bob up, to the great Ssurprise and‘ delight of the children. f 24. Our Lord goes on to show His disâ€" tiples further what must be the charâ€" acter of those who are to enter into the kingdom of God, and what their relation to the world about them. They must be like saving salt, like shining lights. In their life they must be~obedient not merely to the letter, but to the spirit of their ancient law, which will find fulfilment in His gosâ€" pel.‘ Above all they must be governâ€" ed by the law of love. _____ Don‘t spoil your boy. Don‘t make him a mollycoddle, a backboneless, in the Old Testament, and even love to one‘s enemies, yet in the law, and in the Psalms there is preserved someâ€" thing of the ancient spirit of hatred. Jesus would make love supreme in every concern and relationship of life. For love is Godlike, and our human nature can only attain its best in Godâ€" likeness. Even in war love must be still supreme. If we hate the evil deed, and seek to capture or drive off the evil doer, it must still be with genuine love for him and desire to do him good. Even if the stroke of death must be inflicted it must be with love and sorrow. Love makes perfect, and love only. Love fulfils every law. It is the "bond of perfectness." _ 43â€"48.

They will be cofmpelled to stop this before a great time, as they are ui2 1 E+ wl n nB C â€" uc i amed taking too much from the soil and failing to put anything back. The farmers of toâ€"day do not have the large fam{l‘es that they did ono or.two generations ago. At that time ;x; -!{evm.i:-rfiévery family there were some large grownâ€"up boys to assist with the work on the farm. But at the present time the farmer usuully] sees his boys and girls go to town as soon as they get old enough to be of a great deal of help. They confine their children much the same way @s they were in their youth. Times have changed wonderfully and the youth of toâ€"day expects those pleasures and enjoyments that belong to this age. The parents that say, "What was good enough for me is good enough for my is the prevention of the loss of his animals from the various animal plagues, such as hog cholera, swine plague, tuberculosis, contagious aborâ€" tion, etc. He reads ‘of sanitation and hygiene in all the farmer‘s papers and is acquainted with all of these proâ€" cedures, yet he fails to use the ‘ordâ€" inary preventive measures with which he is ecquainted. He does not clean up his premises and keep them clean. A few farmers employ ~professional help in the prevention of these conâ€" ditions, but more of them do not. ground. What was good enough for you is not . good enough for them, neither will the things that we enjoy now be good enough, nor will they satisfy our children when they grow up. Modern Conveniencés Pay.

Have things handy around th° barn, good harness, good hol_'ns_. good farming implements, good fences. Furnish the boy wiith a good horse and buggy, and with work within reason. Do not expect too much of your boys, but trust them and make them partâ€" ners of yours by taking them into your confidence and allowing them to have some things for their own. If you have things about the home and farm that are convenient and handy, and have pleasant and friendly reâ€" lations existing among the members of the family, the young people will take an added interest in the farm. One of the most disastrous things with which the fargler has to contend Every few weeks one of our hens gets droopy, then so weak it cannot walk, and woulg finally waste away and die, if we did not kill it previously. The symptoms described indicate that the hens may have tuberculosis. Perform a post morten on one of the hens and see if the liver is covered with grevishâ€"white nodules which inâ€" dicate tuberculosis. If this is the case it will pay to kill off the flock and start again with healthy birds after the house and yards have been thorâ€" oughly cleaned and given a chance to rest. From the brief description we cannot tell much about the conditions and if you have a large and valuable flock of poultry it will certainly pay to have a veterinarian inspect the flock and give what information he can concerning the trouble. He can also pass on the food value of any birds that have to be killed to prevent them from coming down with the disease. Tuberculosis is a very dangerous disease to poultry because there is no cure and it spreads rapidly. a@Roulrn®s FOURTEENTH ARTICLE. First Aid; Home Remedies.â€"Cont‘d.
