im Baptist Church Suadir noniat the
minister, ths R sr. CoroeHus Woslfkin,
iKMtkJ the Miiaon. Mr, Woelfkin's test
ill from Deuteronomy xxix:29: 'Ike se
?Nt tkiaa bcloai unto the Lord, oar God,
?t the tilfi that are revealed belong un
to us ud to oar children, that we may do
?ail the words of thie law." He mid:
A noted astronomer once said: "I hare
searched the stars, hot I find no God." A
ioted philosopher said, "If there is an infi
nite, personal God. Hie is unknowable."
Materialistic science and rational phil
sophy have formulated the creed of ajr
losticism. vis.: that God is unknown aid'
nknowsble. It sounds conservative, mod*
<Iinst thou snow the Almighty unto per
fection? Zophar, the Maamathite, waa n
clever agnostic. . The Hebrew lawgiver
writs*,-" The secret things beinag'Unto
the Lord our God." '
If God be the Infinite, Eternal and Ab
solute, it is impossible to comprehend and
explain Him. There must always be di
mensions of mystery unknown and un
knowable in Him. The astronomer never
expects to find the r-alls of the universe.
There is always the unknown beyond:* If
apace and time stagger the imsgi nation,
can we ever hone to bring the eternal God
completely within the range of human
conception? We are all agnostics. EVtn'
Christians worship at the altar of the su
per knowable God. It- is no discredit to
the theiat that he eennot tell the day of
God's birth. We need not distress our
selves because we csnnot walk about God
and know His diameter and circumference.
He is unknowable.
But because we csnnot know sll, shall
we rest content to know nothing? Tbs
scientist is aware that he ean never know
it all. Does he therefore bresk his instru
ments and content himself to abide in ig
norance? He knows in psrt. He will
know more, though he never knowa it si).
80, concerning God. there are thiogs that
may be known. The myat* / of the un
known is the very charm of eternity. The
ages will ever clothe themselves with new
garments 01 mystery.
How may we know God? God is a
spirit and must be spiriluslly known. John
Fiske, apeskhag of the spectroscope, calls
it "an addition to our senses." All our
inventions are extenaiona to our senaea.
There & suto aseing, auto-hearing, auto
feeling. Tyndale said, "The silence of
the lomt at noonday is sgitsted with
sound, if ws could only heir it." There
are some things telescopically discerned,
others, microscopically and spectroseoni
eally. Without these they, are net die*
cerned at all. Why does one man only
glance at a picture, and pass on. while
another will study it by the hour? Wbv
will somo people leave the music ball,
while others are held spellbound by the
"symphony?. Because some things are "brt
?isticaOy discerned snd others musically.
There must be the subjective faculty to
appreciate objective genius.
Why do eome men go through ?ifc with
out any aenae of revercnce, worship and
prayer, while others bow in humility and
?doration to one whom they call God? Be*
tauee God is spiritually discerned. The
natural man receiveth not the thing* cf
God. neither can he know. them. He is
lacking the soul's telescope, microscope,
spectroscope, etc. Xatmal devices cancct
discover a spiritual God.
The atudy of man himself presents a
faints anslogy of this truth. Seienco stud
ies the humsn body; srtienlates the skele
ton; knows the nervous system; explains
organisation. But does the anatomist dis
cover the v -ole roan? Does he find that
sovereign? the will, the magistrate? the
conscience, the artist? the imagination, tho
orchestra? the emotions, the librarian? the
memory? They are all there, but the in
struments of physicsl dissection do not
discover them. They are mentally dia
cerned. When spiritual men, aa such,
pronounce upon phyaical science, they be
come fools. And when materialists, as
auch, pronounce upon spiritual things
they likewise turn out folly. One r ualiti
cation cannot constitute authority upon
?!' ?- - -
It is* sometimes aaid that religion speaks
in a language of its own? a foreign toafjue.
This must be so in the nature of the case.
Every new idea demands tho garment of
a new word 01* phrase. Evcrv science cre
ates ita own nomenclature. We might
find a hundred volunes written in our na
tive tongue and yet not understand what
is -written. Spiritual realities must ex*
press themselves in spiritual terminology.
Instead of quarreling with the intrsduc
tion of new terns, wc should as true stu
dents learn thrjr meaning and so widen
our apprehensions.
The condition of learning spiritual, truth
is laid down by Jesus. "He that willetb to
do Hia will ahall know tho teaching."
There mist be right attitude first, snd
then . the experiment of action. Open
mindedneM is the first qualification for
apprehension. Prejudico distorts and
blind 3 the judgment. It is the chief factor
in our limitations. It is the handicap
upon honest examination and experiment.
Prejudice shut the theologians out of nat
ural acicncc for years. Prejudico is shut
ting the riaterialistaout of religious science
to-day. The whole univcrso is governed
by law. Bit r. man obey the lawn of na
ture and nature wi.l unsold its mysteries
to him. Ijet a nan put himself in align
ment with spiritual realities, and the
spiritual world will discover itself to him.
rHe that cometh to God nu;t believe that
lie is, and that lie is the rcwardcr of them
that diligently ceck Him." '
There must bo r.ction, tho test of experi
ment. Here is a stumbling block. Men
have their own wills and besitato and halt
at doing tho will of God. Tho chief diffi
culties concerning religion do not rise out
of intellectual embarrassment co much as
a failure in attitude and action. Yet with*
out tbceo ncu cannot know.
Tho means of k towing arc twofold. St.
John savs, "That which we have heard,
that which wc have cecn and handled with
our hands declare wc unto you." There is
first tho message of tradition? that which
we have heard. Thero is tradition in
science. Some tl.incs have been worked
out, tested and proven. They are accepted
jm axiomatic by the consensus of all stu
dents. Who thinks to question tho round
ness of the earth or its motion round the
sun? Few of us have proved it: we acccpt
it on. scientific tradition. Wc do the same
in all scientific study. Tradition is the
foundation already laid, and we build
thereon. To exclude the authority of tra
dition would check all progress. So relig
ion has its traditions. Home things come
to us with tho "sterling" mark of the ccn
tnries. He who discredits sll religions tra
dition ignores tho past and begins snew.
This makes tho difference between the
man of. faith and the skeptic. The man
of faith receives what has been proven end
builds thereon. The skeptic only exam
ines the foundations, sometimes without
even Isying new ones.
But there must be personal experience
also. When Morse asked Congress for an
appropriation of 180,000 for his telegraph
venture the committeemen bsving the de
ciding vote was undecided. Mr. Morse
took him to bis hotel; showed him some
miles of wire. He bade him go into s dis
tant room and there experiment with the
instrument according to the code. He re
turned snd voted for the sppropristion,
saying, "I have seen? I bsvs handled the
instrument, snd it will do what ts claimed
(or it." And any man may experiment
with the realities of our religion and teat
Its claims to comfort, wisdqm. peace, rest,
hope, love, prayer, etc. And only when
we thus know will we be effective wit
nesses of truth. .Teaus enid. "We apeak
that we do know and testifv that we nave
seen." With such knowledge the known
becomes the kev of the unknown and leads ,
us into deeper knowledge.
The purpose of learning to know God Is
to obtain tho life eternal. When Kepler,
the astrononv-r. after many failures, finally
discovered the laws of planetary motion he
fell upon his knees and cried: "I thank
Thee. O God, that I am thinking Thy
thoughts over after Thee." This knowl
edge made him partner with the thought
of the eternal God. So every truth exper-'

appetite has its satisfsction. Hunger sue
gests food and thirst argues for water. If
God createa a fin on the fiah He makes an
element for it to swim in. If He fashions
n wing. He supplies the sir for it to By in.
Surely tbeee lower appetitca are not gratr>

be disappointed. And objectively, "Chriat

W. H. H. writes: "Please tell me
the most profitable nj to fatten a
three-year-old steer with the follow
ing foods: Clover hay, mixed clover
and timothy hay, con, bran, pump
kins, and clover and eye pasture.**
Answer? It will not ha possible to do
more than make suggestions to our
correspondent relative tb tbp fatten
ing of his three-year-old steer. If he
had given the weight and present con
dition of .the animal it would have
been > better. A three-year-old steer
might weirh anywhere from*" 800 to
1200 pounds, depending en how he has
been handled, and his present condi
tion will have a ninsMmahle Influence
on the method of feeding to secure the
largest gains in the shortest possible
time and at the least expense. If the
animal is in good condition, a shorter
feeding period will anllce, and a com
paratively heavy grain ration should
be nsed, and thla ration should be
more fattening In nature than where
an animal Is thin and poor, aud must
I first be brought into proper condition
for fattening.
Clover hay furnishes an excellent
roughness for beef cattle and will be
preferable to mixed hflf. The aleer
should have practlcalJyall of thla he
will eat, which will vary from fifteen
to twenty pounda per day in the be
ginning, depending somewhat on his
appetite. Aa the fattening progresses
the amfeunt of clover hay consumed
will decrease and less should be placed
before him so aa to prevent cloying
the appetite. It la alao not advisable
to atuff an animal av|th all the rough
neaa he will posalbly consume. Some
Judgment must be exercised In order
to keep the appetite on edge all the
time. Where you feed clover hay it la
hardly necessary to feed much bran.
Tbe corn may be fed whole unless it
la .old corn, when it would be beat to
grind It with the cob, making corn and
cob meal. To commence with, the
ateer should probably not have more
.than alx to eight pounda of meal per
day with clever bay, later on the meal
ahould be increased at the rate of half
? a pound to a pound a week until from
twefte'to fifteen pounda per -bend* per
day is being fed. If an animal ia thin,
It will take 180 daya to properly finish
him, if he is in good condition, 150
days will probably suffice. If you
have a pair of acales convenient, and
if you find that at the end of ICO days,
he Is not making satlafactory gains,
if he Is in prime condition, well and
uniformly fleshed, probably it would
be better for you to dispose of him at
that time, than to bold him for a long
er period. (
A pound of bran might be fed with
the corn each day, aa it wiH tend to
keep tbe dlgeatlon in better condition,
and improve .the quality of the hair.
Give a fair supply of pumpkins as long
as they laat, from ten to thirty pounds
chopped up and mixed with the hay
and corn will not b,o too much. The
ateer might properly have the run of
the clover and rye until cold weather
sets in. Under these conditions ho will
not need very mhcU hay.? Andrew
M. Soule.
Tfc* "Why" of lianas.
If a farmer understands that humus
or vegetable matter is essential to fer
tility, that just In proportion as tbe
soil possesses it it is capable of yield
ing large crops that ia about as much
as he needs to know as a practical
farmer. It Is not necessary that be
6hould know exactly why It is so. It
Is well to know, however, when any
vegetable matter, whether green or
dry as wben peas and other crops are
allowed to die on tbe land, is turned
under tbe soil and becomes decom
posed it is known as bumus. Until
tbe vegetable matter Las become de
composed It has no effect beyond keep
ing tbe soil more open absorbing and
holding somo moisture that otherwiso
would pass Into tbe subsoil. This in
Itself is helpful, but tbe res! manurlal
effects are obtained after it becomos
bumus. Whatever nitrogen and pot
ash and phosphorus was contained in
the vegetable matter Is then released
and can bo used by n growing crop.
A soli fully supplied with humus is
kept porous and does pot run together
and bake. It retains more moisture
and allows the carbonic acid of the at
mosphere to enter free!y the soil and
from there be absorbed by tbe root
lets of tbe plant. No doubt there Is a
large proportion of worn land In the
South that bos plenty of potash and
phosphorus easily made available If
only plenty of humus could be given to
It. Humlc acid is a solvent of those
minerals. When lands aro first
cleared they are more or less rich in
both bumus and undecomposed veg
etable matter. Hammock lands where
tbe original growth was oak, hickory
or other bard woods are always richer
and have a more lasting fertility than
pi no lands. The former have accumu
lated much more humus than tbe lat
ter owing to their position and the na
ture of tbe foliage of the bardwtDds.
These soils are rarely worn oat com
pletely by culture wliere they are pro
tected from washing. They are
capable of being brought back to the
highest state of fertility by a system
of farming that restores their lost
Yegetable matter. In earlier times It
was the practice when land became
badly worn to turn them out to grow
up In weed, briars, and whatever els*
might sprtug op on the land. New
land was opened up and in its turn
worn oat and turned out. And thu? it
went on. It is well enough to allow
a certain part of our worn lands to go
back into forest from time to time,
but the part most capable of being re
stored should be devoted to pastoral
farming where pasture and meadow
take the place of - crops requiring
clean culture, where beef, pork, mut
ton, wool take the place of cotton, corn
to a great extent if not exclusively.
Under this system there Is a whole
sale Improvement secured In no other
way and there is every reason to be
lieve that before many years a large
part of Southern lands will be de
voted to this system of farming.? Flor

Of course this Is not the season for
grafting, but It is a good time to talk
about it Anybody can graft, and if
farm fruit growers would but think so
and do It, great Improvement could ba
made In all old orchards.
In top grafting I never maka a
square cut. I always cut at an angle
of forty-live degrees and put in one
scion. 1 never cut a branch so big
that one aclon would not be sufficient.
Even If it is two and one-half Inchca
in diameter I just put in one scion.
I just begin at the top and saw it
right down at a sharp angle, and then
with my knife 1 cut off the top and put
my scion on there. Many times you
can set a graft without ever making a
crack. Cleft grafting is the best way.
I use one part of tallow, two parts of
beeswax, and four parts of resin for
my grafting wax. That will make a
wax that will work in almost any
weather when you arc able to do
grafting.
In grafting a tree it depends upon
the tree itself. If it is a small tree, I
might cut the whole thing off and just
put on one sciofl and have e straight
scion of It, but, cs a rule, I would
rather go up to where I had several
scions to put In and make them small
er. '
Rather than cut a great, large limb
like my arm I would go higher. Never
cut off closer to the fork than about
four Inches, because if you happen to
fail you can let a few sprouts grow on
that, and the next year you have room
to make another cut a tittle farther
back.? H. E. V.-D., in Southern Fruit

Tall Oat Graai.
E. P., KnoxvlHe, Tenn., writes:
"Will you kindly advise me what kind
of grass seed would be best to sow
with winter wheat on a thin, sandy,
upland soil. I want pasture. Can I
get a stand of tall oat grass by sowing
with wheat?
Probably one of the hardiest' and
best varieties of gross you could sow
for pasture on a thin, sandy, upland
soil is tall oat grass. Tali oat grass
might be seeded on the wheat land
early in the spring. It Is now too late
to sow tall oat grass this fall. Your
chances of success with tail oat grass
will be better without a nurse crop.
You will need to seed at the rate of
at least twenty pounds per acre.
Tall oftt grass gives results some
what in proportion to the richness of
the land on which It is grown, how
ever, it is much hardier than many
of the tame grasses, and does better
on thin, sandy lands than almost any
other cultivated grass that grows sat
isfactorily In the State. It grows vig
orously and furnishes a considerable
amount of excellent pasture: on rich
lands it furnishes an abundance of
pasture. You will not make any mis
take in utilizing tall oat grass as far
as possible for grazing purposes on the
conditions mentioned iu your letter.?
