THE PULPIT. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. JOHN LEWIS CLARK. Tliemc: Qu.'.t You Like Mes. Brooklyn, N. Y.-At a special ser vice for men ic the Bushwlck Ave nue Congregational Church, the pas tor, the Rev. Dr. John Lewis Clark, preached on "Quit You Liko Men." The text was those words, .taken from 1 Corinthians 16:13. Dr. Clark said: When Paul said to the Corinthians, "Quit you like men," he must have ' recalled an incident in the history , of thc? children of Israel. The Israelites ?/ere encamped at Eben-ezer and the Philistines at Aphek. In the battle that followed Israel wa3 defeated with a loss of 4000 men. As a remedy for their weakness it was proposed that they bring the Ark of the Covena?t of Jehovah out ot Shiloh. There was great' rejoicing as the ark was brought into camp. The noise of the great snouting alarmed the rank and file of the Philistines, for they be lieved that God had come into Israel's camp; "Woe unto us! Who shall deliver ns?" they cry. The answer came from their strong-hearted lead ers. "Be strong and quit yourselves like men-Land fight." The result ls told in a few words: "And the Phil istines fought and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man to his tenn; and there was a very great slaughter, for there fell of israel 30,000 foot men. And the ark of God was taker; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and P hin eh as, were slain." The mention to aged Eli that the ark of God was taken, caused his death also. Years later, when Israel had reformed and returned to Jehovah, and quit them selves like men, the Philistines were smitten before them. "Then Samuel, took a stone and set it between Mis pah and Shen, and called the name cf it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hat a Jehovah helped us." Corinth was a city of 600,000 In habitants when Paul first visited il. It had a cosmopolitan population. It combined culture and vice. While it rv as a Gentile. city, many Jews wer? there also, and had their synagogues. Cor*ith was a sort of ancient Paris, with some resemblance to London. The athletic contests in the stadium, tte garlands -worn by the victors, tho courts of justice and the theatres fur nished Paul with many figures o:.' speech. The sensuality of the city was indicated hy the consecr?tion oi? 1000 girls to the vile worship of tho patron goddess Aphrodite. : Other evils which Paul vigorously corn batted were . dishonesty and drunk enness. The apostle's one remedy lor all Corinthian evils was Jesus Christ and Him crucified. No more pandering to prejudice, as in Athens, by preaching the 4unknown God." One of-the first converts is Crispus, ruler of the synagogue, who, with ali bis house, is baptized. But Jewish opposition finally compels them to T?cate the synagogue and worship in the-private residence of one Justus. He is assisted by the faithful Aquila and Priscilla. He remains in Corinth for a year and a half and makes many converts, establishing other churches in Corinth and other parts of_Achaia. ' This episode is believed to have been written from Ephesus. After speaking plainly on many other subjects, the apostle exhorts them, "Quit you like men." It is interesting to note the Greek 'conception of a man. He must he a .man. as opposed to a woman. The Greeks had no use for an effeminate man. Neither did Paul. He was to he a man as oppose! to a god, and, as a matter of fact, most of the men ot Corinth did not exhibit many Godlike .characteristics. He must be a man as opposed to a youth, one who had ; '-put away childish things," a man indeed. He was not a man in the true sense of the term unless married. They were hard on the wicked and selfish bachelor. He must be a man with some title or occupation or pro fession. He must act like a man, play the man. i The context gives Paul's idea of 1 playing the man. - I "Watch ye," says he. It means to ?wake one's'self up. To the Thessa lonians he said: "Go, then, let us not Bleep, as do the rest, but let us watch And ba sober." Only a wideawake man is useful anywhere. And as he wrote the Thessalonians to - "be sober," possibly he had in mind how some of the Corinthians would get drunk even at the communion table. It is bad enough for a man of the world to get drunk, but infamous for a professing Christian or church member. If Paul had been writing in our day he possibly would have ex horted the women also not to get drunk. He doubtless had in mind also that they should be sober in all things. All Intoxications do not come from alcoholic beverages. Thank God for our Men's Club. For lt indicates that the men of .our church have waked up and mean to make their influence felt for good. As men, "stand fast in the faith." Tell some ministers to-day that you be lieve in preaching the "simple gos pel," aud they will answer "The ques tion is, what is the gospel?" And a good many are spending time and talent in an effort to formulate a gospel theory to suit an age of crit icism and doubt. If the ministers and theological professors kept to "tho faith once for ali delivered unto the saints," there would be les3 criticism in thc pew. Most ot the doubters and . critics would soon bo converted., But if theological professors and ministers are "tossed about by every wind cf doctrine," can we wonder that our pews are empty and that wc have but few accessions to our churches? "Strike the roots of your faith deep in the soil of eternal-, realities," and then stand fast, ^>it yourself in battle array for the 0 ien.se of the faith, and fight on tba offensive as well, and victory is sure to follow. There never was an agc when peo ple were so hungry for what some re-, fer to with a sneer as tho "simple ( gospel. " Again Paul says, "B* strong." It means to be confirmed. While the apostle did not have in mind a mod ern confirmation ?las:?, he certainly does mean that we should be con firmed in our Christian character. It means also to rule or govern. "He that is slow to anger is Let ter than the mighty; and ho that ruloth '?is spirit, than he that taketh a city." . It means to become master of. to get possessiou of,' to conquer. The first and most difficult Coaqdcst is that o? self. Alexander the Great could conquer the whole wor.d, but himself was conquered by his evil appetites and passions and died a young,man in drunkenness. When self has been conquered, thou the fight is to conquer others for Christ and the kIa?dom of God. The strangest weapon in this warfare is one's own experience. mt cu|-:&c?70?>!/ INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM? 31ENTS FOR JULY 2& Subject: Paul's Second Mif??onary Journey-Athens, Acts. 17:16-34 --Golden Text: Jolin 4:24 Commit Verse 29-Commentary. TIME.-A D. 52. PLACE. Athens, Mars Hill. EXPOSITION.-I. The Unknown God Made Known, 22-20. Paul had improved such opportunities of preaching the Gospel as were open to him-the synagigue and the market place (v. 17)-and now he is brought before this celebrated gathering of philosophers and university profes sors of Athens. He has no new Gos pel for'this distinguished throng, but with divinely given tact he introduces it In a new way (vs. 24, 25, 2S). Paul begins with what appears like words of approval, not with words of criti cism. (See Am. R. V.). He would win the favor and attention of his au dience before calling them co repent. People will listen patiently to the sharpest rebukes and sternest, calls to repentance if you first win their confi dence and favor by words ol kindness and praise. "To an unknown God." There Is something very pathetic and touching in this. There are many to day who are reaching out blindly to ward a God of whose existence they have a vague apprehension, but, of whose name, character and per?on they have little clear knowledge. But there ls no need that God be unknown Uno. 1:18; 1 Jno. 5:20; Jno. 14:9; 2 Cor. 4:6). It is of the highest im. rortance that we know God (Jno. 17: 3). It Is our own fault if we do not know Him (Rom. 1:20-22. 28; 2 Cor. 4:4). It was an apt strcke upon Paul's part tb begin with this well known object in their own streets, and thus to lead on to the ?reat truths with which his soul was filled. "God that made the world and all things therein.'' etc. Paul would ctxry with him the philosophers in his audience, and at the same time brinf in new and higher .th JU.ehts about God, and . step- by step lead them face to face with God Himself, and mate them J feel their personal responsibility to. ! Him. : He would lead them to see that j God was not a mere philosophical conception, but a person against whom they had sinned", and who was noiw calling, "Repent." The very life we live, the breath we breathe, abso lutely all we have, is His gift. Every thing thus given should be used for Him. We should draw every breath for Him. "He made of one every nation . f men." Do we believe this?" Do we really believe it? Do we txdifcve lu our kinship tc the negro, tho China man, the Hindoo? "That the/should seek Gjd." This was God's great and gracious purpose in the making of the nations and appointing their seasons, and the bounds of their habitation. How little the nations have fallen in with this benevolent purpose of God (Rjm. 1>28). It Is of the highest ira-, portance to men that they shoird seek' God (Amos 5:4, 6; Ezi. 8:22; Prov. 2S-5; 2 Chron. 26:5; Ps. 34:4, 10: Ps. C9':32; 1 Chron. 16:10: Lam. 3: 25; Heb. 11:6; Ps. 119:2). He is not difficult to find for those who seek Him with the whole heart (Jeri 29 13). "He Is not fdr from evsry one of us.'* How absolute is our depend ence upon God. ,No life, no motion, no existence outside of Him. This being so, there can be no peaco In our souls until our wills are absolutely surrendered to Him and our affections absolutely centred in Him. Paul ao proves the sentiment of the Greek poet. Aratus. But while all men are God's offspring, they are not all truly ' children (Ino. 8:44, 47: 1 Jno. 3:10; Matt. 13:38; Gal. 4:4-6; Heb. 12.S; Eph. ?:3). Those only ave children of God who receive Jesus Christ (Jno. 3:12. R. V.). Those who are led hy His Soirit are pons of God (Rom. 8: 14: Gal. 3 26, R. V ). TT. God's Common?! to A'I Men Everywhere, Repent. 30-34. Paul is now reach;iig the point toward which all this tim? he has been so skilfully steering. It was an unexpected cli max to these theorizers. Mn?iy of them had been delighted wi--.h the sublimity of Paul's conceptions , with the deftness of his logic, with the apt ness of his quotation. They were all ears: their guard was down, ind he struck a stunning blow just \\ the right moment. God's on? call is "re pent" (comp cb. 2-38: 3:19: 2*0:21; 26:20; Matt. 3:2: 4:17; Luke 13:5; 15:30; 24:47). This was God's one cry also, throuph Old Testament pro. phets, "turn ye.'' This same cry needs to ring out to-day. Men are an apostate race. Notice whom God commands to repent, "all men every where." Notice when He commands lt, "Now." Notice why, "Because H* hath appointed a day in which He will judge the world," etc. There is a judgment coming. People meek at this truth to-day. hut God has given assurance of it unto all men by the resurrection of Christ from the dead. It is impossible for any candid reeker after truth to e-arainp the evidence for the resumption of Christ without being satisfied that Jesus really did arise as recorded in th?1 Gospels. But the resurrection of Christ JPSUS n the I past points with unerring finger to a judgment by Christ Jesus in tho fut ure. "When they heard of the resur rection of the dead some mocked." A very common way of trying tc dis pose of- unpalatable truth. Bat it never works, and truth is never any the less true because yon sneer at it. Many are trying to modernst- ? Christtianity that has n?vpr chni^d ?nd is as unchangeable as the ever lasting hills. . CHOCOLATE PUDDING. .

PRACTICAL ADV] i DIVER! Farming is a Business. . I?t always riles us a little when we hear folks talking of the farmer and the "business man" in contra-dis ttactfon to each other-as if the farmer was not as much a business man as a merchant' or manufacturer or hanker, says the editor pf Pro gressive Fermer.- Now, we know there are some farmers, so-called, who are not business men; but these scarcely deserve to be called "farm ers," either; "croppers" would be a more fitting designation. Farming is1 a business, and to be made profitable must be gone at in a business way. The farmer whos? only aim lt l's to see how much land he can cultivate or how many bales of cotton he can raise, is not likely to make his farming permanently profitable. The good farmer's first consideration, in any line of his work is the profit he is going To get out of it; and he does not count profits until he has paid for .the labor expended in the growing and marketing of the crop, the interest on the money in vested in it, the wear of the tools used in its. making, and the plant food taken from the soil by it. Many farm ers have no idea of how much any of these things amount to, and conse quently no intelligent idea of the cost of their crops. They have no way of comparing with any accuracy the profits from one crop with those of another, and too often they have no idea of how to adjust the different branches of farm work to each other so as to get the most out of each. The result is that they go along in a haphazard manner without any defi nite plans or any real understanding of the work** in which they are en gaged. Business farming means business like methods; it means that the farm er must be able to tell with some de gree of certainty what his cotton crop paid him, and his corn crop, and his pea crop; it means that he must have some means of judging with a fair degree of accuracy as to how he can feed his stock most economically; it means that he.must have some assur ance at the end of the year, as to whether his farm is more or less fer tile than at the beginning. These things are not too difficult for the average farmer to learn. As we say on another page, three or four hours' honest study will give any reader a fair conception of the under lying principles ol! stock feeding. To master all the details will require years of study; hut one good hour of real,- ( concentrated, determined thought would enable thousands of farmers to save many dollars each year on the feeding of their stock. It is the farmer who devotes this thought to his work, too, who ls go ing to win at it. The man who studies his farming operations just as he used to study a problem In arithmetic when he went to school is the man who will put his farm on a business basis. It is not enough,to think about how long it is going to take to1 plow a field, and how much seed it will take to plant it. There should be a definite reason for the cron tl goes: on the field, a- well thought out selection of seeds and fertilizer, a rationally planned system o? cultivation \iind harvesting. In short, until the farmer is able to calculate with something like ac curacy, not only the cost of the crop and the returns from it, but also its effects upon his other crops and other lines of work, there is strong reason for thinking that he needs, first and most of all, to put his mind as well as his muscles to work. Thought pays better than mere hard physical labor, arid the greatest profits come to the farmer who works his hands in harmony with his heac. Folly of Mixing Things. One of the greatest faults of farm ers and gardeners of the South ls tae lack of care in keeping varieties pure. I went into a man's cotton field and' asked him what sort of cotton he planted. "King," said he, and yet on going through the field I estimated that there was about one-thi^d of typical King plants and tho ramal l? der consisted of long-limbed, big boned cotton of vitriols types. , Doubtless he had had King cotton in the start, but had been simply sav ing his seed from the gin, and now had it badly mixed with what a seed grower would call "rogues." I asked another man what sort of corn he planted. "White corn," said he, seeming to think that white corn was merely white corn because it W?.S cot yellow. But on looking at h:;s corn I found that he had dent cora on white cob?, dent corn on red cob:s, gourd se?d corn and intermediate sorts in general mixture. Then many farmers have a passion for "crossing live stock aud' want ta cross the Jerseys and the beef types;, or in* some way cross one pure stock cn another. The result is, that th2 inheritance on both eldcs 1=3 broken up and the result Is a uouilescrlpt tnimal, that would abroad ia ouu til VERT .INTERESTS EL?C?

Va., July li-While George Sine was hunting in Canaan Valley, in Tucker county, his dogs found four hears in one tree, the motlier and three cubs. He had no weapon, and hurried home for his gun. His wife followed him to the scene. Sine with one shot brought the old bear down, but she scampered away over the mountain. -Then he climbed the tree and tried to snare the cubs with a rope, but they would push the / IGE ABO?? SIFTED" rection as readily'as-another, an ani mal lacking the* prepotency of either breed, a mixed animal merely. : The same rule ls good with the barnyard fowls. People often start" out with a single breed of fowls, and then they find .that a neilghbor has another breed that is beating theirs in eggs or in flesh, and they think that some of that stock would help theirs, .till finally instead of pure bloods they have a lot of mongrels of all sorts,and colors and characters. Carelessness is at the bottom of the whole business of mixing seed and stock, and the .thoughtful farmer will avoid such mixtures.-W. F. Massey. $3,000,000 More For North Carolina^ Farmers. Suppose we increase the yield tro^t by 900 pounds of seed cotton to the acre, but by just 100 pounds, as we should be able to do with well-bred varieties, even on average land wlthi average treatment;, this .would mean an increase of *. ?3,333,000 a 'year clear profit to the farmers of North Carolina. And this is what is com ing about. One breeder of Improved' seed started last season with 6000 bushels for sale, and :tho farmers bought all but fifty bushels for plant ing purposes. . . > Our farmers are learning, too, that money can be made growing other crops than cotton or tobacco. A. clear profit of $2500 a year oa the farm in the .South ls as good os a $8000 sal ary in New York CIty,.;and far more easily made. Not only has the South a monopoly ot cotton and of many types of tobacco, but the farmer here can get so much higher prices for all, kinds of live stock and dalry products, hay and corn, that a Buckeye farmer, who recently visited North Carolina (and will probably move here later) spoke pf the matter to me with some amazement. The average size of farms in this State is more than 100 acres, but a Catawba County farmer-, cultivating only fifty acres made $2400 clear profit last year raising hogs. He had .three enclosures of five acres each for soiling crops-ono In cowpeas, another in corn, and an other in wheat and clever; on thirty five acres more he grew mature corn for feeding in the ear. The hogs are marketed as soon as they weigh 180 pounds, and, of course, only Im proved, quick-fattening 'breeds are used. The difference here is illus trated by this experience of Mr. E. G. Palmer's last fall. He put scrub hogs and improved breeds in tho same pasture and fed them at the same trough. "The blooded hogs fat tened and were sold weeks ago," Mr, Palmer said in January, "but' the scrub hogs are not fat yet, and are about the same size as when I bough! them. "-Progressive Farmer. How a Balanced Ration Pays. 'fiA well balanced ration, is of the greatest importance to the" econom ical feeding of stock of any sort. Some time since I was driving with a friend and noted that his horse was entirely too fat. I asked him what he was fed, and he replied that he did not know, as he kept him at a livery stable. The. next day at noon I went to thc stable and found they were feeding the horses. - I asked a hand what he fed. He replied: "Corn and corn-fodder.." There was then no reason to woudcrthat the horses got too fat, for they had to eat far more than needed in order to get, from the food the protein needed, and hence got too much of the fat-form ing materials. And it w?s costing the liveryman far more .to keep the horses than if he had'understood the value of a well balanced ration. Yet farmers all over the country are doing the same thing and having horses in bad condition for the spring work.-? Profese or &Xas3'?y. now the Stalks Under.
