This was the rule in lvgard to the I culture of the ground: "Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together," illustrating the folly of ever putting intelligent and useful and pliable men in association with the stubborn and . the unmanageable. The vast majority of troubles in the churches and hi reformatory institutions comes from the 1 * xL!- Af I a >r< 1 disregard 01 tins cimuuunu w tuv^. "Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together." There were large amounts of property invested in cattle. The Moabites paid 100,000 sheep as an annual tax. Job had 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen. The time of vintage was ushered in with mirth and music. The clusters of the vine were put into the winepress, and then five men would get into the press and trample out the juice from the grape until their garments were saturated with the wine and ha<l become the emblems of slaughter. Christ himself, wounded until covered with the blood of the crucifixion, made use of this allusion < when the question was asked, ''Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel and thy garments like one who treadeth the wine vat?" He responded, "I have trodden the wine press alone." DISCIPLES OF THE PLOW. In all ages there has been great honor paid to agriculture. Seven-eighths of the people in every country are disciples of the plow. A government is ' strong in proportion as it is supported by an athletic and industrious yeomanry. So long ago as before the fall of Carthage Strabo wrote twenty-eight books on agriculture. Hesiod wrote a poem on the same subject ? "The Weeks and Days." Cato was prouder of his work on husbandry than of his must 11 :C:>: ? >- - .,:|y^of I rgely ( ^borhol^H|^H^HH^^K other !a haH nnleso^^HgJHSBKin the garden spots of South Caroli >ra of with some of the farms from th )llow- to four miles from the nearest r i un- way depot, Irmo, and these i 5s in mers would no doubt take advanti ? de- in a larger degree of the railr( irees; i facilities were it not the almost i etch- passible, rugged, detestible Alp: :reas- road leading up and over the nn stible rugged places possible, which tt :aolin have to travel to Irmo. that The remedy for this most appan ad of evil is a good public road grad hus- around the steep hills, avoiding ste the grades regardless of running throu the some obstinate farmer's pet cott hese patch or causing him to alter t ,tion, shape of his pasture, &c.

Crying and weeping will not bring you through. "Him hath God exalted to be a Prince and a Saviour to give repentance." Oh, plow up to the cross! SCATTERING THE SEEDS OF THE GOSPEL. Again I remark, in grace as in the field there must be a sowing. In the autumnal weather you find the farmer going across the field at a stride of about twenty-three inches, and at every stride he puts his hand into the sack of grain and he sprinkles the seed corn over the field. It looks silly to a man who does not know what he is doing. He is doing a very important work. He is scattering the winter grain, and though the snow may come the next year there will be a great crop. Now, that is what we are doing when we are preaching the gospel?we are scattering the seed. It k the foolishness of preaching, but it is the winter grain; and though the snow of worldliness may come down upon it, it will yield after awhile glorious harvest. Let us be sure we sow the right kind of seed. Sow mullen stall: and mullen stalk will come up. Sow Canada thistles and Canada thistles will come up. Sow wheat and wheat will come up. Let us distinguish between trutn ana error. Ixjt us know the difference between wheat and hellebore, oats and henbane. The largest denomination in this country is the denomination of Nothingarians. Their religion is a system of negations. You say to one of them, "What do you believe?" "Well. 1 don't believe in infant baptism." ''What, do you believe." "Well, I don't believe in the perseverance of the saints." "Well, now tell me what you do believed" "Well, I don't believe in the eternal punishment of the wicked." So their religion is a row of cyphers. Believe something and teach it; or, to resume tlie figure of my text, scatter abroad the right kind of seed. A minister in New York preached a ? at>f ^onmninfl.

H. prominent and influential citizen of Mount'Ver- . non, HI., writes as follows, under ?-? date of March 11, 1890: "One bottle of Swifts Specific (S. S. S.) cured my son permanently of a stubborn case of Blood Poison that defied the best medical treatment available. I have recommended S. S. S. to others for blood troubles and diseases of the skin, and have never known it to fail to cure in any case. BLOOD POISON CURED. I was troubled for years with a Blood Poison in its very worst form. I was treated by the very best physicians of Louisville, Ky., and Evansville, Ind., but they failed fn TT?A in ?T1V WAV. A few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) cured me sound and weii. This was v over four years ago, and there has 9 been no return of the disease since, * or any symptoms of it.
