Wo have a good crop on an average. We have wheat crops that are running any where from IS to 56 bushels per acre. Tho elevators aro having trou ble getting grain cars to ship their wheal. They are piling a lo- of the. grain on the ground at the elevators on account of tho shortage of cars. The hay crop ls excellent. The spud white potato) crop ls also good. Everything looks encouraging and everybody ls on the;move. Yesterday, tho 2fltn, was election day in this county and State, so that gave me an opportunity to go to Denton to voto. Wo lived on a ranch for. threo years near Denton, and it made mo feel Uko going home. It had boon over a year since I had been there. Mr. Johnson, president of tho First National Bank of Den ton, took mo for a ride out in tho .cjotintry to show m'c what <lh>edr crops looked Uko, and I can say that thoy aro good. Listen: Ho did not want to sell mo any land; ho is just a (ruo friend of mino. Mr. Johnson has honored m'y checks for as much ns seven or eight hundred dollars overdraft, running from ten to fif teen days, without charging mo a ... penny as interest for tho accommo dation. ls that a true friend?

Then they would begin to wonder what sort of a man I, was, to leave my family that far ' away. Some of them would say, "Well, I was nevor that far away from my family. I can't leave them that far." Listen: There is no such word ns "can't." You cnn do any thing if you hnvo tho nerve. Somo peoplo think they can't stand to soo ono of their children lenvo.

MEEKER Director of Practical Work Course-, Woolly nib lc Instituto, Chicago, TEXT-Verily, verily, 1 say unto theo, except a mun bo born again, ho,cannot eeo tho Kingdom ot God.-John 8:8. Tho great George Whitefield wno onco osked why ho preached so often on the necessity ??^M?. of tho now birth. Uls short and sutil* 'clent reply was, "li e c a u s e you must be born agnin." Tho ^ text exprosses clearly, that at the very threshold of tho new lifo pf faith in Christ, tho s o al stnnds in need of a distinct transformation Of Rfo culled a .new birth. We enter this lifo by birth; "lour entrance upon eternal lifo must be preceded also by a birth. Sin has effaced lu mau both' tho moral aud spiritual Imago Of God. The new birth restores both. This ls tho unlforir testimony of Scripture. Tho best that can bo Said of tho old nature, declared to be dead in trespasses and sin (Eph. 2:1), is that lt retained, in spite of tho fail, a capacity to receive new lifo from God and- respond to lils known will. * The parable of tho sower aptly il lustrates tills. Therein four kinds of soil uro represented. In three enses Ute soil is inhospitable. In ono caso only is tho soil good. But oven hero lt does not germin?te the seed nor create life within it. lt only receives lt, for which lt has tho capacity and fur nishes a hospitable environment In which lt may develop and grow. Tho interpretation of the parable as gen erally given treats of tho soil as the human heart, and of the seed as tho Word of God. It ls thercforo the plant ing of tho*Living Word lu tho heart (which has the capacity to receive lt and furnish a hospitable environment for Its development) that results In the reproduction of tho moral and spiritual Image of God. This recep tion of tho Living Word into a heart is definite, and moro or less ?olearly marked in tho experience of tho indi vidual, being accompanied often by as positive a crisis as when a child ls born Into tho world. In His talk with Nicodemus (John 8:5), Christ gives us tho ono instru ment, the Living Word, and tho ono active agent, tho Holy-Spirit, In effect ing the wonderful transformation called / the new birth. These divino elements of conversion nre expressed In other connections, ns for instance, "That Ho might sanctify and cleanse it with tho washing of water by tho Word" (Eph. 6 :20) ; "Being born not of corruptible seed, but of incorrupt ible, by tho Word of God, which liveth and abldeth forever" (I Peter 1:28) ; and "According to His morey, Ho saved us, by tho washing of regener ation and the renewing of tho Holy Ghost" (Titus 8:5). Whenever, tiieroforo, tho Spirit ls mentioned in connection with water it signifies tho Spirit of God operating In and through tho Word. To bo born, therefore, of water and of Spirit, Is tho New Tostnment way of saying that the Divine Spirit ls the active agent, and tho Divine Word ls tho ef fective Instrument In tho new birth of of the soul. "It ls tho Spirit that qulckeneth; the flesh proflteth noth ing; tho words I speak unto you they aro spirit, and they are lifo" (John 6:03). "Hore then from headquarters we have a statement that His Words aro very spirit and life; that His Word and Spirit aro Instrument and agent In the immense work of creating o new nature for the believer." "In tho new birth, then, the Word of God is the seed ; the human heart ls tho soil ; God by Ills Spirit opens tho heart to receive tho seed ; tho hearer believes, the Spirit quickens the implanted seed into Ufo in tho receptive heart; tho now divino nature springs up out of the Implanted Word; the bcllovor is born again, created anew, made olive, passed out of death Into life." A remarkable brick, taken from thc ancient wall of Babylon, bears tho in scription of one of Its mighty kings, In the center of the Inscription is the footprint of a dog. It was the custom to Imprint the royal mark upon bricks used for public works. While this par tlcular brick was lying In Its plastic or soft state, drying In the sun, a vagrant dog evidently trod upon lt. Tho king's Inscription ls entirely ll? f\loglble, while the footprint of tho dog is perfectly distinct. So sin has ef? faced tho Imago of God, leaving be hind its own unmistakable mark. Tho divino method of recovering what was lost In sin is a new creation based on an act of faith in tho finished work of Christ. (II Cor. 5:17.) Christ the Intermediary. Seeing then that wo have a great high priest, that ls passed Into the ' heavens, Jesus tho Son of God,, let us hold fast our profession. Eor we have not an high priest which .winnot bc tohched with the feeling of our Infirmi ties; but was In nil points tempted j like ns we are. yet without sin.-He brews 4:14 and 15. , .
