THE PULPIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. DR. C. F. AKED. Theme: Chesterton's Discovery. New York City.-The Rev. C. F. iked, D. D., the pastor of the Fifth enue Baptist Church, preached in is pulpit Sunday.. His subject was "How Mr. Chesterton Discovered England." He too?: for his text.Mat they 11:28 and'29, "I will give you rest." "Ye shall find rest unto your souls." -Come unto Me all ye that are -weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn, of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall lind rest unto your souls," and said: This ls Christianity's first invita tion to the world. It applies the test of nniversal religion. For the test, of universal religion.is not in the num bers of those who accept it, but in the "varieties of men and. women who ac cept lt, and whose needs it meets and satisfies. This invitation has been accepted hy every kind and condition of men and women throughout the whole of the human Tace; and every type ol character, every circumstance of need has responded to this invita tion. The .men and wom?n who have accepted have found. the rest for their souls which ChTist promised. Bat I am not going to preach to-night upon this text. Millions of gracious sermons have been preached upon lt and millions of souls have been won to the rest promised. I have one purpose only in repeating the word3 at the outset, and that is that you may use them, not as a text to ex pound but as a motto of that which Is to follow, for I purpose to speak about a conspicuous figure in the 'World of letters who has accepted this invitation of Christianity and found rest for his doubting, wondering, in quiring mind, rest for his turbulent spirit; and he has written' a book tell ing us how he found his way to Chris tianity and to the rest that Chris tianity offers. The man'is Mr. Chesterton. His "books are freely on sale in this coun try and he occupies a . very conspic uous place, in English literary life. "The book is called - Orthodoxy." It is a story-autograph leal-rOf the way In which he Brings himself to the ac ceptance of Christianity. The style ls all his own. He is the supreme master of paradox among living men the wide world over. His purpose is to take any statement about any mor tal-thing and shew that universally ?the contraryiis true. If, for instance, I say that the doctrine of original sin is gloomy and depressing his method to show that the doctrine of orig inal sia is universally the most brac pg and most invigorating and ex hilarating, that the mind of man can ?conceive. That is the man's way, and ?ne has attained to enormous influence nd bis books to enormous sale by ?"working this paradoxical method. It does not follow because I call your attention to this hook that I am com mending it unreservedly, but the ?value of the book is that it stimulates thought. It sets you thinking about eepest and highest things, and 'things deeply suggestive and fuit to spiritual life. In one sense a corrective of that very curious ain?d temper ol our day which ches every now and then an en y new and original, gospel that is g to supersede all other gospels have ever been preached and g in the millenium by special ex ;s with all expenses paid within next fortnight We have seen much of that sort of thing and it a corrective of this curious habit, s launching with banners flying "bands playing, a gospel of to rrow, which, on examination, ves to be merely a second-hand copy of a sleepy edition of the gospel of yesterday afternoon. Mr. Chesterton likeDs himself to an English yachtsman, who in the Eng lish. Channel loses his bearings and in his imagination thinks he is in the Southern Pacific and on approaching the land believes it is some uninhab ited or savage island. He goes ashore prepared to meet wild men and ani mals, and discovers that he is among his own people in the familiar streets of Dover br,Brighton. Mr. Chester ton sets out to discover a new ethic, a new philosophy of life, a new moral, ity, and he discovered Christianity. I have not been in this country twen ty months yet, but I am quite certain ih&t there have been twenty new gos pels launched upon an astonished public drring that time. I remember one that was to take possession of the church to win the world to Christ Inside oil the next twelve months. The- publisher sent me' a copy of the book for my opinion, and I wrote him that I did not care two straws about thai sort of thing, but before the ink in my signature was dry ? friend |? called on me and I asked him how Dr f?o and Sos scheme was getting ; on. "Oh," he said, -he is about i ' through with it." I said, -Why, I have only just got ,?rbis book from the publisher." "That does not make a difference," said rov friend. : "But," I said, "how can he |r? have got through with it already?" He looked at me with pity for my insular, ignorance and non-apprecia tion of the ignorance of the American ; mind and said, "Have you not been, j here long enough to know,how easily ?we take a thing up and how much more easily we drop It again?" The ;? fact is that what is new in these new .y- schemes is not true, and what is true f in them Is not new. I am very glad to have such a man as Chesterton, < with his paradox, irony and sarcasm, ' calling, attention to the utter folly of & being led by this or by that, because it pretends to be new. You may say we are in a progressive age, but it is because we are progressive that we must preserve our self-respect ana .. not be carried away by this and that' "wind of doctrine." Looking back over twenty years, I can recall in numerable theories and philosophies ';that have tried, to take possession of vjnan and the church; but they have . "Igone and the old faith, the old relig ion and the old belief ir. Jesus and the \ Cross remain transcendent, more cer ^u,taln and lovable tnan anything else: V In the cross of Christ I. glory. * Towering o'er the wrecks of time. All the light of sacred story G?thers round its head sublime. Mr. Chesterton tells us the way in which he found his way to belief and found rest, and he speaks about the amazement with which he realizes ,how one objection to Christianity ' canceled another out.- Take one ob jection to Christianity and it is com pletely answered by anoth?r objec tion from some other objector. He found, he says, one objection in the -agnostic manual to Christianity on round that lt Is a religion of gloom, and another because Christian if had cast a rose pink veil over all " man life, with a silly, flabby senti mentalism about this being the 'oest of ali possible worlds. He found an other objection 'that it has made man jweak azd that Christianity took all the virility, all the manhood out of us, and another that Christianity had deluged the nations with blood. Is Christianity, he asks, a religion of meekness and mildness, or of mur der and massacre? It may be one or the other, but it cannot be both at the same time. You remember the humorous poem by John Godfrey Saxe about the four blind Hindus who went to see an elephant. They could not see the ele-; phant, but they said what they had seen. One happened to lean against the elephant and declared it was much like a wall. Another got hold of his tail and described him as being like a rope. Another got his trunk and said he was a serpent, and the i fourth ran against his tusk and said he was shaped very much like a spear. The fact is that they had not seen the elephant at all. That is all. And that ls my sermon. The objectors have never seen Christianity at- all; they have never understood. Chris tianity at all.- They have seen mere fragments-the tail or ear of the elephant-but they have not seen Christianity and know not what it is. The 'difficulties of religion are ! great, but the difficulties of unbelief are infinitely greater. It is not true that Christianity in its fullness is a simple thing that anybody can grasp In two minutes. There are difficulties and perplexities, but the difficulties and perplexities and problems in which you involve yourself by the rejection of Christianity are far great er than those involved in its accept ance. I could present half a dozen, I will present one: ; If unbelief has stated the case truly to us. Jesus Christ was only a peasant boy, a car penter and a fanatic for religion, who lived in an obscure part of the Ro man empire and died as a criminal after three years -?f agitation. That is all. And yet Christianity, the most tremendous and colossal fact in the world, has all' grown out of that! Men and women, ignorant and wise, In widely different circumstances, tell you that they have been down and have been raised.' have had burdens lifted from their shoulders, strength came to them, enabling them to bear their loads, they have been conscious of sin and realized forgiveness, the chains have dropped from their man acled spirits and they have walked in the freedom of manhood and woman-, hood, they tell you they have been lost and were found. I myself have at times seen through the vail that hides the invisible from the visible and have been sure of a God, and I have risen from what I thou?ht the very gates of death and have walked the hills of life again, and found that my Saviour was ty my side. If you want to know whether Christianity ls true, try it. The objections contra dict each other, and are not true. Christianity stands and Christ makes His appeal still to you to-night and offers the invitation: "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy \aden, and I will give you resL" Sacredness of Small Things. We should realize the sacredness of small things which we ignore or despise-the deed that uplifts, al though it is unheralded; the word that inspires, although uttered so gently that .'car neighbors do not hear it; the hand clasp which puts I your brother firmly on his ieet with out public applause. Henc? the small things dare not be despised by those of us who wish to rise to higher things. I thank God for our religious privi leges. We all have equal rights un der the Stars and Stripes. The Prot estant and Catholic, the Jew and Gentile, the Mohammedan may build his mosque, the Buddhist his temple. We'have no State church, no coercive religious laws. We are responsible to no human power for our religious convictions, responsible only to God. The church that makes the best men Wiu women is the test church. Jesus Knows. Christ's message to the churches of Asia al! begin with the words, "I know thy tribulation," "I know where thou dwellest," "I know thy poverty." It is as if He would lay the founda tion for His encouragement or His warning in the assurance of His sym pathy. He always begins His mes sage to His people thus: "I under stand." We need not fear wrong judgment, we need least of all to fear th* indifference that springs fror? ig norance. He understands, and there fore can judge; Fe knows, and there? fore can help.-Pacific Baptist.' Rendering Tribute to God. There are three ways of rendering tribute to Christ-with the mind, the heart and the will. I do net appeal to your minds. No mar. of sense-to day denies the Christ; that day is past. I do not appeal to your hearts and work on your sympathies. It's easy enough to make women cry and get Into a state of ecstasy so often mistaken for real surrender to Christ. I appeal to your will, for it's with the will alone that you must answer' that great question, What thin'.; ye of Christ?" The Purpose of God. The purpose' of God through this revelation for us is not knowledge alone. Men devote their lives to ed ence and philosophy. His purpose is .not physical power. It is not wealth and luxury. God comes through His word to give us eternal life and par don froni the power of sin. Chance. There is no such thing as luck Ic the world. It is an error cf thought a misapprehension of the nature ol things, to imagine that we are iu any sense under the dominion of chance. The Reward. God puts consolation only where Hf hajj"first put pain.-rMadanie Swet cbino Married Paupers and Divorced. "An odd thing about married pau pers is, that they like to live sep arate," said a single pauper. "You know how almshouses are ar ranged: There's a men's ward, a woman's ward and a mixed ward is always nearly empty. Not that we lack married paupers. Oh, no. Euc the husbands prefer to bachelor it among the men, and the wives to old-maid it among the women. "The older cur cnarried paupers get the. marc vehement is their in sistence cn separate living. " 'She's allus a-naggin'," the octo genarian will growl. "'Ncbcdy can't sleep o' nights with sech snorln' as his'n,' sniffs the sep tuagenarian female.

Notes of Inten ?xaiit Grower Cheat is Not Poisonous* Some correspondents are asking about cheat. One wants to know if it ls a distinct species or a hybrid ; an other asks if it is poisonous and adds that sometimes oats sowed in f the fall turn to cheat. The plant commonly known, as cheat in the South is Bromus s&cali nus. It is certainly nut poisonous, hut makes very fair hay when cut young. There is in some sections an other grass that is called cheat; it ls a species of rye grass, Lolium temulen tum, or Darnel. Tb is has long had the reputation for being poisonous. Eut it is easily distinguished from the common cheat, as it has a stiff, erect and prickly head, while the common cheat has a branching, nodding head like oats. People get chrat in their oats 'rora sowing foul seed, for the seed of the cheat ls very much like a small grain of oat, and people not acquainted with the different plants would take it for oats. Get your land free from cheat and then sow clean oats and you will never have any cheat. You had as well, try to grow a pine tree from an accrn as to grow cheat from "clean oat seed, though there are peo ple who imagine that the cheat is the result of the oats turning to a differ ent plant. I have known college grad uates to have this superstition, be cause they had never been taught the life of plants. You say: "You know that sometimes oats sown in the fall turn to cheat." I do not know any thing of the sort, but do know that if you sow cheat seed with your oats you will have cheat, even if the win ter kills the oats; for the cheat is hardy and one knowing nothing about plant life, and seeing green leaves there, imagines he has oats till they head all cheat, and he then imagines that the oats have turned to cheat when they were cheat all the while from the time tl- S seed sprouted. Tf you had sent samnles of the Vir ginia oats you sowed last fall to the experiment station they could have told you that there were ch?at seed in them. In Maryland a week ago I saw a field of winter oats that were half cheat, but the farmer who had them was an intelligent student of his profession. He did not irar.crlne that the oats had turned to cheat, nut he know that the .seedsman in Baltimore had sold him foul seed. ''Whatsoever p. man soweth that shall he also reap." If there are no cheat seed in your soil, and y\)u sow non9 with your oats, you will never se? a oheat seed in the C;-O:J.-W. F. Massey. /.Nike For Moist Lands. 1 want to grow some hay. My land, or the ipost of it, is low and in clined to be buckshot. Will alfalfa or red clover -grow on such land? Bermuda grows fine on my pince. There is no hay grown in this neigh borhood, and I would like to start in the hay business.-W. H. Harris. Answer: At the best, only tempo rary success could be had with alfalfa or red cle ver on poorly drained land. Sines Bermuda is thriving on this farm lt had better be relied on for one of the main hay plants. Of course it ls wise to use a clover or alfalfa in stead of a grass for hay when condi tions are favorable io *?,?od returns from the clover or alfwfe. since it will help to improve the soil. There ls a clover that can be used on wet soil for hay or pasture-r.lsike clo ver. It will even stand submergence for a Lime, while it will also grow on uplands. Till tests in the vicinity show that alsike v/111 thrive, however, lt is advisable to plant only limited area3 till results point to the future policy. It will nr>t make as large a yield as red clover where red clover is a success, but the alsike is more likely to thrive. Its habit is more re cumbent, and before cutting it will not seem that there is as much hay on the ground as there really is.. Al sike may be grown alone, but a mix ture ot hay plants will give a larger yield. On the moist land as described the following mixture can be tried with strong hopes of success: Four pounds of alsiie clover, nye pounds of tall fescue (called also tall meadow fes cue, English blue grass, Randall grass and by other names), four pounds ol red top' and five pounds of orchard grass seed. This mixture will give good grazing as early as February, in addition to the hay it will yield. By having grass growing with the alsike clover, the clover will not make erup tions oh the skins of horses and mules that graze lt, which would sometimes happen if grass was not eaten with th? clover. Kay buyers in a commu nity may have a decided preference for the hay of some particular plant and in seeding a meadow it is best tc plant whatever will satisfy this pref erence, however unreasonable it maj Pert Paragraphs.

Pearson Is not far from Jackson, Miss., and other places that should be good markets for hay; there is a good net income from ha'y growing, and the boll weevil is not a great distance from this point, so hay i raising seems to offer a very good op portunity to any man who has wasted enough money in trying to kill grass that.he is ready to look at the gaiD that can be hsd by growiDg grass and making it Into hay. - Progressive Farmer. Milk and Butter. , Do not put cool and warm milk In the same vessel. One advantage of feeding calves by hand is that one can then know just what and how much they are getting. Make pets of the milk cows, so they will be gentle and easily handled. Nervous cows do not do the best as milkers. There should be good ventilation where milk is kept, and the in-going air should not carry any bad smells or taints into the room or cellar where the milk may be. If calves are being raised on skim milk use great care to keep clean the buckets they feed out of. Bowel trouble and a stunted condition are caused by uncleanness. The man who is in the habit of do ing things well has much in bis fa vor as a dairyman. Dairying calls for well done work, and the grade of the work corresponds with the net profit to be realized. While the aims of the common farmer may not call for a cow of one of the pronounced dairy breeds, yet the man who is going into dairying on , a considerable scale cannot afford to use any other kind than good grados of such breeds. When anything very unusual or very serious is wrong with a cow it is bes!; to call in. a veterinarian. She might get well without his service, but in the long run it will not oe best to save a little by not employing him 'and risk losing the cow or reducing her value by rot employ ins; him. The milk of. only healthy cows is fit for food or for making butter. The ? mistake of supposing that milk is all right as long as it does not smell or taste bad is sometimes made. One may consume milk or butter from a diseased cow without suffering seri ously from it, but it is unwis9 to run the risk lt involve?. Do not try to keep milk In good coDdition^in a hot room without ice. II! there Is no cellar dig a hole in the ground-make a sort'of cave, i! noth ing else can be done. lt is surprising what, an aid a roomy hole four or five feet deep, from which the sun is er eluded, will be. lt will keep the milk and butter in better condition and promote health in a way a hot room cannot. The dairyman will have his uns and downs, but his net profit will not vary so much from year to year as that of the average farmer will. If the dairyman uses good judgment, knows his business and coes not get sick, he will not have to have much experience to reckon at the beginning of the year about what his net profit will be at the end of the year. . Thin cotton cloth-costs very little, and it is a fine plan to use a new piece at each milking for straining the milk. Then burn the piece used, and next time use a new. piace. It looks like one could with ease thor oughly clean a cloth used for strain ing milk; but the probability is that thorough cleaning will not be done by even careful dairymen. It is tak ing little chances cf making a fail ure unnecessarily that put many hard-working dairymen out of busi ness.-Progressive Farmer, Quick Bcrurns on Investment. For the small farmer, the hog Is the animal par excellence to grow, as lie matures in from ten to twelve months, and has a ready cash value on the market. Furthermore, hogs i can be raised cheaper than any other class of stock, for under the modified ; system of "practice outlined below hogs may be made to weigh 180 to ? 200 pounds in ten to twelve months i ,on a minimum ration of grain, say ! five to ten buhsels of corn. This compared with the exclusive corn fat : tening generally practiced would rev : olutionize the whole business from a - financial standpoint.
