First, the werld's way, which is cruel in the extreme. Second, The law's 'way, whih is as re U ssas death. ~Third, the Saviours treatmient. which Ursiats to us a sublimer picture 'han any t' ing the world has .ever seen. The world's treatment of a sinner. "And adv~s in the morning He came again into the temnple, amnd all thme people casie unto 1im, and He sat down and taught them. Auni the Scribes and Pharisees brouglt unta Him a woman taken in adultery, and whn they had set her in the midrt they snr tac Han, Master, this woman wasi fnasmn in adultery. in the very act." Verses '4. Sin is an awful thing. You do not med to turn to the Bible to aunderstand thi:; read 'he daiiy newspapers. keep yo-r eyes and ears open as you walk the rtwts of the city; but still you may read . it in this account, which is alnost 2000 ye:-rs old. It is a woman the mob has Irdaiau and hurried into the presence of the Master. You can undelrstand how a man conMd sin, but not a woman, yet if our Leans were knowni how many of us. with aul. respect to sem, would stand con e-wned in the presence of Hima who has idnu that anger is murder and an evil imn apinatoion is sin. , The~r other day in a place of sinful resort a rnana snddenly stood up and rappin: On th table with a reover said. "Hear mae," nmIx when other men wvith frightened facest we-alod have left the room hea conmmanded tem to stop and said.

The very fact that hands are not hited and stones are not thrown is our own condcmnation. Thrd,. in the ninth verse we read. "And thbv whichn heard it being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beinning at the eldest, even unto the last, and Jesus was leit a:onc and the woman standing in the midst." That to uy minrd is the m1os. dramatic sccne in all the chan ter. is nc: in the New Testament. Sud denly tle shouts of the mob are hushrd, they have taken their hinds off from the trembling woman. they ar- speechless in the presence of this $on of God, and with out consultation they begin to slink away. I can see them go, until aInailv the last one is gone and then, is the hush of death upon the two as ther stand together. You can all but hear the throbbing of their hearts; vou can detect the quick breathing of the woman, who thinks that the time for sen tence has come. Mercy and pity face cach other. an(d merey waits for pity to speak. "Neithlier do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.: And we are ever to remember thr,( thintg in connection with our Sa viour: . First, there is never a question as to how deeply we have sinned: the stories of the greatest sinners are told' in the New Testament for our hope. ,cond. there is power enough in the IoodA of the Son to blot out the deepest sii. Though vur sins be as scalet they 1hall be as wh'te as snow; thou :hi thy be crimson they -hlle as woo!. Sthe 'ird th ing to re:nember is if ti man i. 'n i, like the sands of the sea *or nun:her i'- he would fec the power of the shed blood of tL Son of God he n1ust by real faith and ' onest confcssion av hold unon 4 im for eternti life. His kindnes ied he burden, and the world is just dyinz to-day for the want of svmpathy. 1 think the time is long past hen men are willing in these days to pend an hur in l.tening to abstract rea soning or deep theological. discussions. I ecl coniident that the time is upon us vben maen are ready to explai s to that -hurch, or that minister ready to bestow a word of cheer, ready to help a little in :earing the btirden of life. A woman came with a handful of sand o her minister and-said, " y sins are like that. -or number." and he id--fTke4he sand back to the sea and let a wave roll ver your handful of sand and they will be one. To-night I bring you 'to the sea greater than 'any the world has ever looked .pon. "There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immoanuel's vein, And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains." "Neiher doU I condemn thee," said Jesus hen all her accusers had slipped away. We do not know what became of this oman, but I am perfectly sure that she never sinned again. This is the secret of ictory over sin: Catch a glimpse of the Face fairer than all the sons of men, listen ut once to the sound of His voice, sweeter than all the music of earth. How the man ar preaches the development of character :n match this matchless story I cannot iee: how the rman who takes the blood out )f the word of God and the sacrificial part way from the death of Christ can for a uoent compare his message with this tory of the divine Son of God is more than can tell. I bid all burdened ones eighed down because of sin to come into -is preserae to-night and you can hear -Iii say "Neither do I condemn thee; go d sm' no more." 'Ihe Example of Patience. The example of God's forbearance and he incentive of Hius trust hlp to prepare is for that self-control and patient waiting 'hih arec, perhapis, the most difficult arts' )i living. l'reachers of the strenuous ie )ten forget that for one who dares to act here must b~e many who are compelled to ait and to endlure. It is not the chtarge vhih commanders dread for their coin nands, it is the waiting before the word to harge is given. Action relieves the tension i the nerves and occupies the thouight. [he examnnie of God's patience is not in it elf a' suf~ient incentive in our time of seed. God waits because He knows. IBe es the end from the beginning, and is sever tempted to gather unripe fruit as ye so often are. He asks us to be sharers f His patience by the exercise of faith. iVe can wait because we believe. He iusts us in the partnership of work and vaiting, and we renounce and have pa lene because we trust Him for the end le promises.-The Congrcgationalist. Work.

I know it he cause in the seventh chapte: 1 read they called Him a deceiver, while in the eighti they addressed Him as Master and Teach er. In the sixth verse of this eighth chap ter we also read that they brought this woman. tempting Him. for they wanted to catch Him on either one of thesn two' noints. first, ii He atCeptedl Moses' law then ther would turn the Roman citizens again.s tim and condemn Him because Tie would put another to death.

Have nothing to do with it. there fire; as you love your own soa's, beware of it. It has slain its thousands and tens of thousands. Wiiat ruined Lot's wife? the world; what ruined Acha-. until he dc feated the whole camp of bsrael? the world: what ru:ned Juias until he sold his very soul for greed of weanth? the word; what has ruined ten thsand souls that are to-day shut away from God and hope, this same old world, "And what shall it proit a man if h2 -ain the wh-!c world and lose his own sou." First. the war:d is critical. It will find every flaw that eists in your niaiure; an nerlections to whieh your loved oei; would be bind, and which you yourset were hardiy aware of will be pointed out and Vulgari di-.playcd.

You vrho betong to the world. may I say to -ou in all se riousness, don't cast a stone at a man that is a sinner for the reanon thot you are, or have been, or may be, just hat you condemn in others.

"Now, Moses in the law conimanded us that such should be stoned, but what savest Thou?" Verse 5. This statemnt is ncrfectly true, that is. the law. It was written by Moses and written to hin of God. There ar only two forves in e:eration to-day in the moral world. law and gra ce. Through one or the other of these forces we have submittvd our Selvcs and hv one or the othcr we imust ho-- to sia-ml before God. By the way of the iv: tle case would seem to be he-c leS. One act or sin is sutlicient to incur the peia ty of death. It is always so with law; if a man takes one false step in the mountains he lands himself at the bottom of the abyss; there is no mercy shown by the law. 'Dr. Parkhurst gives the descrip tion of his climbing the mounains in Switzerland with a rope around his wai.t, held by two guides, one leading and the other following after him, when he stood upon a little piece of rock not two inches broad and looked down into the depth, which measures 3000 feet. If be had bro ke~n the law of gravitation and stepned out from the narrow ledge nothing could have saved him from a horrible dleath. We can quite understand this in nature; the same thfing applies in morals. f f you sin aga'nst vour health vou suffer. Law is a shrewd detective, and is ever on the watch. One wheel broken in the machinery antd the whole is ineffcient: one piece of a rail dis placed nauans fearful dirsaster. Just one tasresson gi ,ore law of God the pen at mu.dtbe aid. "H-e that Qffiqnds in o.ne p.qiut is guilty of all,' thi Scriptures de elare, \vhich simp'.y mnr.ns that the least offense of the law mnr ins a breaking away from God. I repcat my statement that there u-e but two forces in operation to day in the moraI itorld: law and grace. If you have rejiected Christ then your' only hope is in the law, and I should think every man here must see that that is hone ess.' First, you must suffer, for every bro ken laW neans a penalty to pay. and every1 transgression of Cod's plan brines down upon you a burden you cannot well bear. S-econd. you will be found out.

"But< esus stooped (down and wvith His linger< wrote oni the ground. as though He heardi them not. So when they continued asking Him. He lifted up Himself and said unto them, He that is without sin among you let him first cast a stone at her. And again < He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

These y, ould average about one and a half ons of stalks per acre at a low esti- C nate. This would give us 90,000,000 m ons of stalks. If cut and cured and to ;hreddcd these would make 90.000000 ous of good hay. In many parts of .I he country hay sells at $15 to $20 per u: on, so wt. think it is safe to value the w ntire output at SI. This would give is $900,000,000 ns tim value of the corn 01 talk crop o' the South for one year. a lhis is twice the value of the cotton T rop, including the seed. e We are sufferiug most of these to go d :0 wate. We are letting them rot or urnihg them. This is a loss that good & arming caiot suffer to go on. Be- ]e ause we did not know the value of b orn stalks a few ycars since is not a , ood reason why we should not take I are of them now that we do know u] heir value.

But the corn stalks are worth ore than the cottonseed. o1 If a farn-er plants ten aeres in cotton e .nd ten acres in corn to each plow. i1s sI ottonseed will be worth about 82) and p s corn stplks $150, allowing tventy tl ents per bushel for seed and $10 per % on for hay. PI These figures are so astonishing that S, 'ou can hardly believe them. The cOt- do onseed per acre are worth about $2. 1 :he corn stalks about -$i5.

STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER. "Black-Rust" of Cotton. Black-rust of cotton bolls is each :ar becoming worse in the cotton elds of the eastern part of North arolina. The damage is extensive in oist seasons. It frequently amounts one-tenth of the crop. Black-rust is a fungous disease. and ie spores or germs of the fungus are ;aly transmitted from place to place ith and in the cotton seeds. The fun is also attacks the leaver and stems the cotton plant, but this form usu ly causes no appreciable damage. he spores of the fungus may, how rer, live over winter in the stems and iseased bolls of the precading crop. The-simplest and most effectual rem ly for this disease is the annual se ction of seed from plants known to free from the fungus. This, in con ?ction x7ith rotation of crops by .eans of which cotton will not come pon the same field oftener than once three years, will reduce damage by ack-rust to an inappreciable quan ty. Cotton may be sprayed like other - racecus erops. For this crop we ust use a spray which will not stain e lint. The ammoniacal carbonate copper is the best spray to use upon >tton. This is made by dissolving x ounces of copper carbonate in three Ents of strong ammonia and adding ic rcsult-g solution to fifty gallons of ater. This may be sprayed on the ants by any of the garden or orchard >rayers in common use. Th.e Bor maux mixture may be used upon cot n while it is young, but is no better an the anmmoniacal carbonate. and if ed after the bolls attain full growth and this is the time when It is most eded-the Bnrdeaux mixture Is liable stain the lint. Paris green at rate of four Gunces to e Iaifel may be used with the Bor ,ax mixture to destroy caterpillars, it no arsenic can be safely used with e ammoniacal solution.

Dairying in the South. he most important naturial advan ge of the South for profitable dairy g is its climate, making it possible have good grazing on fresh pastures oM nine to twelve months of the ar. It is impossible to secure a full >w of milk from a cow which does t have fresh food from fresh pas res, soiling crops, root crops or the .o, and the best of these 'is fresh pas re. Bermuda grass, lespezeda and er plan'ts ar'e good through the~sr er, cow peas and sorghum In the fall, id winter oats, vetches and .crinmson ver for winter feed. In no part of e country is It possible to secure good azing through so great a part of the ar at so little cost. The mild winters make it unneces ry to ifrovide expensive buildings for otection from cold. The Increase in e amount of food needed simply to stain animal heat in a regioin where e winter temperature ranges from renty to thirty degrees lower, as in e prominent dairy sections of the untry, Is no small item in the cost maintenance, and usually attended ith a decrease in the flow of the milk lien additional food is needed for rmth.
