Gob'elin tapestry, and that is at'Paris, under the con- trol of the government; and these fab- rics are woven for royal families only. But in all the earth there are fac- tories going (13] and night, weaving a more wonderful fabric than royal tapestry for us, the King's children. The cotton plantation sends us locks.

Every one of you has consumed whole acres of corn, whole flocks of birds. whole (irons of sheep, whole herds of cattle.

From the horn that called you from the hay-field years ago, to the silver bell that tinkled on your table at noon to-day, you have never known the pang, the sickening horror of having nothing to eat. We pay the butcher, the beker, and the fruit-dealer, but we do not pay that God who mites the food, and who gives us the money with which to buy it. If on Saturday night, or at the end of the month, they with whom we board present the bill, and we do not~pny it, we are put out; but year etter year, and for scores of years, have we been permitted to sit at God's table 'Ibe next bill I find on our table of indebtedness to God is the bill for Bread.

There is one more bill of lmlebtcdfi mess laid upon the table, and that is the bill for your redemption. I have been told that the bells of St. Paul‘s Cathedral, London, never toll save when the king or some member of the royal family (lies. The thunders in the dome of heaven never tolled so dole- fully as when they rang out to the world the news, "King Jesus is dead!” When a king dies, the whole land is put: in black; they shroud the pillars; they put the people in procession; they march to a doleful drum-beat. The next bill I find upon the to.- . ble is a book bill. How much is your Bible Worth? Scientific men are try- :ing to show us, through the news- ‘papers, and through philosophic pa- ’pers, that our race is descended from the monkey. But we, who believe in God‘s Word, read there that God made man in his own image, and not in the image of a monkey. Get out of my LAUGH ME TO SCORN! You would not sell the eldest one, be- cause it is the first-born; you would not sell the. youngest, because it is the youngest and the pet; nor this I one, because it looks the very image of its father; not that one, because It [looks like its mother; nor this one, . because it has always been sick, and gyou especially love it; nor that one, ébecause it is so healthful that you gcould not think of giving it up. I do i not want you to give them up. I only ' want you, if gold, and diamonds, and gall the earth cannot buy them, to éthink of the magnitude of the ques- ftion. I ask you, standing in your é family group, "How much owest thou funtii my Lord 2” Ahl he gave them :to you.

There is one more bill of indebted- ness laid upon the table, and that My father loved it. It trembled in my mother’s hand when she was nigh fourscore years old. It has been un- der the pillow of three brothers when they died. It is a very different back from what it once was to me. 1 used to take it as a splendid poem and read it as I read John Milton. I took way with your cursed Darwinian the- ories. Scientific men cannot under- stand the urigin of this world. We open our Bibles, and we feel like the Christian Arab, who said to the scep- tic, when asked by him why he beâ€" lieved that there walfi'God, “How do 1 know that it was a man Instead of a camel that went past my tent last night? Why, Ioknow him by the tracks.” Then, looking over at the setting sun, the Arab said to the scep- tic, “Lack there! that is not the work of a man; that is the track of a God." We have all these things re- vealed in God’s Word. DEAR OLD BOOK 1 The next bill I find on our table to- ‘ night is for that we owe God for our families.” Where did you get your families from? “God setteth the soli- tary in families." Have you a compan- ion, who is kind, gentle, sympathetic, helpful,-â€"sympathetic with all your joys and sorrows? Was it good luck or the merry sleigh-ride that gave her to you? No. Proverbs xix. 14: “A good wife is from the Lord.” Have you children round about your table?

A better plan is to set the trees 40 it and utilize: the unoccupi- ed space with small fruit or heed crops or plant a row. of dwarf apple trees.

It is not ad- visable to plant largely oi those varie- ties which have never been success- fully tested in your own. neighbor- hood. Make up a list at what you RELICS OF IRISH LAKE DWEL- LERS. An interesting relic of the lake dwellers of Ireland has just been added to the Science and Art museum of Dublin, in the form 01' a crannog, or elevated dwelling. It was discov- ered in a bog-filled lake near Ennis- killen and measured over 100 feet in diameter. On removing the peat the piles of platform timbers were laid bare. The piling and cross timber- ing were admirably done, untrimmed birch trees being chietiy used for erosslaying, while oak was used for the stouter piles. A large quantity of broken pottery was found in it. besides an iron axe of early form, a fragment of comb and some bronze harp pegs. God collects hits bills. in both waya Two m-.n I knew very well, some years agar, on the streets of New York. They were talking about the matter of benevolence. One said to the other. “You give too much. I will wait until 1 get a large pile of money, and then I will give.” “No,” said the other, “I will give as God prospers me.” Hear the sequel. The tormer lives in New York City to-day, dollar- less; the latter gathered two hun- dred and fifty thousand dollars. I believed that the reason why many people are kept poor is because: they do not give enough. It. a man gives in the right spirit to the.

There are two ways of paying an indebtednessâ€"to the law and to the oreditpr. If we owe amd do not pay it, what is done? The'mutter is put into the hands of an attorney; a sum- mons is sent; adeclaration is filed; judgment is declared in» the case; ex- ecution is issued; and the sheriff goes forth and gets on the auction-block. and he cu'ies, “Going! Going! Gone!” The debt is colleeted by tome." Then there is amuther way of paying a debt. We take up the bill and say. “This bill is due. Here is the mumey.” The one payment is made cheerfully. the other by the force of the law. ONE TENTH TO GOD. Is not our religion worth as much to us? That question I leave to the conscience of every man and woman in this house. I have presented to you to-night these different billsâ€"the bill for house-rem; the bill for board; the bill for clothing; the bill for the family; the bill bur taxes; the book bill. and the redemption bill. \Vill you pay? “Oh yes,” every man says. The only question is, day by day, with this man and woman. “How much?” I cannot tell. I simply know that in the olden times, under a dispensation not near so bright as this, they gave Oh! get some. delicate scale that you may weigh His burdens. Get some delicate chalice that. you may measure His tears. Listen to the hard breathing of this dying One, whose only crime was that he} came to save the world. As 1 think at the cold nights that tell on him, of the tempests that struck him, of the whips that flayed him‘ of the insult- ing hands that slapped him on the cheek, of the months that spit upon him; and while you stand there, seeing- the blood dripping down, from brow to cheek, from cheek to breast, from breast to knee, from knee to foot, from foot to the ground, 1 stand amid that red rain ot‘anguish and cry out “Oh you blood-bought man and wo- man, how muchâ€"how much owest thou unto my Lord?" There are hun- dreds of men and women in this house who will respond, "Everything I owe to himâ€"my time, my talents, my heartâ€"everything.” Eight hundred years after Edward I. was buried, they brought up his body. and they found that he still lay with acrowu on his head. More than eighteen hundred years have passed, and I look into the grave of my dead King. and I see not only a crown, but " on his head are many crowns.” And, what is more, he is rising.

A great many orchardists not the trees 20 it apart each way with the expectation of thinning them out as they begin to crowd, but this re- quires more nerve than most men For the location. select a high piece of ground, (or the; atmosphere is a few degrees warmer than in the valley below which, may save the crop about blooming time. For apple trees I do not behave there is much dif- ference in any particular direction of slope. Before setting any trees get the ground in first-class condition by manuring and draining, it not already naturally drainage The .grouod should be deeply plowed and, it a hardpan should be broken by subsoil- ing, and the surface- put in first-class condition as for any other crop. If the land is anywhere near‘ level set the trees out at regular distances in straight rows, but “the, orchard. is on a hill, make the rows follow the curvature of the hill, because it is much easier to cultivate, easier to spray and much more convenient when hauling away the fruit. The distance to plant depends upon the habit of growth of the trees. the soil and whether the trees are set on level‘ ground or a side hill. Where an orchard is on a side hill the trees may be closer together. because they are on different elevation and the headi may develop above those in the rows below. If the above rules are followed, any cow that is worth keepinz‘ will pay well for her care and feed. Any cow that does not so pay should be dis- posed ol. PLANTING AN .APPLE ORCHARD 14.

In summer cows should have good pasture. or other green food or silage. In winter a parmf the daily ration should be silage or roots to enable them to do their best. 1.2. Feed both coarse fodder and concentrated feed both morning and evening. Feed a small feed of coarse fodder at noon if cows have been no- customed to it. If cows have not been accustomed to it. they may, perhaps do as well withoutx the noon feed by giving more at the other feeds. 10. Food as nearly as practical a balanced ration. But all cows should not be fed alike; those inclined to lay on flesh should be fed less of the carbohydrates, such as corn, and those inclined to turn all their lead into milk should be ted. more of such 8 Feed avariety of foods.
