inoiiuajr, nyiu V, ..... DAMAGE BY FLOOD IN BIG FIGURES Knoxvile, Tenn., April 2.?Floods following unusual heavy rains did widespread damage in this section last night and today. Ten miles of the Little River railroad company's tracks in the mountains above Knox!ville were completely destroyed and from 15 to 20 miles more were either destroyed or badly damaged.

So speaks Holy Scripture, and all experience oonflnna its truth. The most Important consideration, therefore, for the farmer is his attitude toward his farm. What does he think about it,?what does he think about farming? Does he love his fields and woods ?Does his eye rest with peculiar fondness on his sleek mules and fat cattle? Does he feel in his very soul that farming is a high calling, the only vocation for him? Or does he value fields and woods and cat/tl9 in terms merely of money ? Will he sell them all for a price, and gladly turn away from them forever? Is he a farmer by chance or by choice? Has he simply "inherited" a farm? Is he a farmer because ha knows no other way of "making a llv? ing," because it may seem to him tbe easiest, most independent life? Has he looked the world and its businesses in the face, and deliberately decided that, as for him, the plow and the fresh earth upturned, and the growing plant have charms above aJlt ? Before any further real progress can be made in the development of our country life.that country life must be j saturated with love of the country. 1 Many more farmers there must be, whose determination to stay on the farm is quite as fixed as their determhr ation to win success, and comfort and j j happiness, for themselves and their] ! families, by means of their fanming. I 1 Buch farmers will not be bribed by a! eudden rise in the prices of farm lands to "sell out" and move to a neighbor- j ing town. They will not be driven away j by labor troubles. They may sell a part' of their holdings, but they will still; cling to the soil. By the use of modern: j machinery in the home and on the j farm, they will so multiply personal; efficiency as to reduce greatly the num-j ber of laborers, and increase the output; of all who work. These farmers will be '"11" nnfcimHoil in fVie>ir nwn mfnris that they above men In other callings,! have opporunity to raise strong healthy: children. They will appreciate at their!

He ta dependent I on cloud and sunshine, on the hidden ; processes of life: that is, he is depend-1 ent on tie wisdom, power and goodness of God. He ought to be a better man for It. Just because the farm gives thlg opportunity for closer relationship with the Lord of life, there is a higher digi nty albout this business than we have ocmmonly accerded lit. We have looked at the dirty hand, and the bent back, and we have called the farmer uncouth and hia profession unclean. The world has taught htaa to despise his work and j | himself.
