has been said in the preceding chapter concerning the lord jesus christ because of all his infinite glories and his marvelous person exalted above all other per sonalities of the universe the very son

they pro claimed by miracles and bv the gifts he bestowed through the holy spirit and what shall i more say the writers mind is crowded with other heroes of the faith of whom he would like to speak

the result that pasture animals are more and more given to chewing bones stones and wood in an effort to obtain these elements which constitute a consid erable part of their bone craving is bound to increase until attention is paid to putting byk the minerals that are lacking in the pasture you say that you apply considerable manure each year which is an excel lent practice but one must keep in mind that manure even if wellkept carries only 89 lbs of phosphoric acid p205 and possibly 10 lbs potash k20 per ton it does carry 10 to 15 lbs nitrogen you will see from this that returning manure does not effectively correct the soil condition especially where milk is being sold from the land and the breediag cattle are raising their young which means that still greater quantities of phosphoric acid and lime are being removed in the skele tons of beef and other meat animals that are raised and sold off the farm the observations you mention are being made in several sections there are two ways of attacking the problem one by top dressing with fertilizer of analysis which will help the crjp conditions and another by feeding approved mineral feed mix tures which carry lime and phos phoric acid in forms suitable for feeding probably a combination of these methods will give speediest and most effective help answer b pastures such as you describe have been greatly im proved by top dressing with such fertilizer as 4126 or 2-12- 10 in early spring as soon as the sod will carry the team fertilizer is best ap plied broadcast either with the drill with the hose or discs suspended or with a lime spreader in a pasture test conducted by the ontario agricultural college in mid dlesex county great improvement of herbage of the pasture and good im provement of carrying

some better thing hat is set before us the marginal concerning us that apart from us they should not be made perfect these heroes of the faith had been given promises but the promises had not been completely fulfilled espe cially the greatest promise of all concerning that of a messiah gods anointed priest and king for all the patriarchs prophets and mighty men of old before the coming of the lord jesus there was only a sym bolic sacrifice for sin an incom plete access to god a partial infill ing on occasion of the holy spirit an incomplete revelation of god for us we know god through jesus christ whom to know is life eternal therefore let us also we be long in this comptny because we are servants of the samo god because our faces are turned toward the samo hope because we are bound to gether in one great truth centred irr jesus christ seeing we are com passed about with so great a cloud of witnesses we have been led through the corridors of the divine masolcum and bidden to read the names and epitaphs of those of whom god was not ashamed we have felt our faith grow stronger as we read and pondered the inspir ing record and now by a single touch those saintly souls are depict ed as having passed from the arena into the crowded tiers from which to observe tho course which wo are treading today lay aside every eight there are one thousand things that no man dare call wrong for they show none of the charac teristics of sin on the contrary they may be precious gifts which in other circumstances might be rich in blessing but if they hinder you when you struggle for the best and burden you so that you run un worthily then are they weights and must be laid aside and tho sin which dot so easily beset us the six words which doth so easily be- set us art in the greek one single word and probably rcftrs to cloth- interpretaiton of the word here translated patience is stedfast- ness which probably gives a bet ter idea of what the writer meant looking unto jesus the

by faith he lived and suffered and died who or tho joy that was set be fore him endured the cross despising shame what was the joy set before christ many answer m be in certainly it would include the joy of ijeiiig gods anointed viie for a- decming men for all the ages to come from sin and death and the wrath of god of being reunited with the father in glory aftei his humilia tion of realizing that by his death on the cross satans doom was sealed and a kingdom of absolute and eternal righteousness was made possible and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of god his great redemptive work was fin ished and accepted by the father he is now exalted into glory at the fathers right hand cf 1381 10 12 phone girls ready dolls for christmas rj teachers ask for smaller classes
