Garbutt beckoned to the boy and questioned him. “She’s my Stepmother,” replied the boy. “And she seems to like to bear me. But—I don’t like it.” The boy was a pleasing sort of boy and the naive answei touched Gar butt. After a few' moments’ talk he lifted the boy up and placed him on the roan mare behind him. They rode into Pittsfield that night and the boy became a printer’s devil. We turn the reel up a few years. The boy, John G. Nicolay, is grown now. He is writing editorials, news items, “sticking” type and getting out the newspaper. He has found another could be obtained by parting with possessions. I. A Certain Young Man (v. 1G). For a full view of the characteris tics of this man, see Mark 10:17-30 and Luke 18:18-30. 1. His virtues., (1) Courageous (Mark 10:7). He was of high standing—a rich young ruler (Luke 18:18, 23). To come to Jesus at this time might mean ostra cism, but with manly courage he came. (2) Earnest (Mark 10:17). He knelt before Jesus, thus showing earnestness and sincerity. (3) High aspirations (v. 1G). He wanted eternal life. Though taken up with the things of in’s present life, he felt the need of preparing for a life beyond. (4) Pious and moral (v. 20).

With improved time-savins | methods of disinfecting seed pota- J toes, one man can now treat 100 bushels of seed in a day and so re duce the cost of treatment to $1 an acre, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Gains in yield from seed disinfection to reduce seed- borne diseases often amount to 20 or 30 per cent. Instead of the “long-time soak” method with corrosive sublimate or formalde hyde, many farmers now use the i hot-formaldehyde treatment. The tubers are treated for three or four minutes in a solution of 1 pint of formaldehyde to 15 gallons of wa ter. )?.ept at a temperature of 124 degrees to 126 degrees Fahenheit. Treatment with an organic-mer cury dip is also time-saving and does not necessitate controlling the temperature of the solution. Di rections for treatment are giver with these commercial dip pro- Ipcts. Seed should be treated be fore sprouting or cutting. Disin fection will reduce scab, black scurf, and blackleg. Potatoes show hg severe scab or blackleg shouk' not be usid for seed even thougl reaird. -tXT- Ths nest productive soils on ih'' farm should be selected for alfalfa It is useless to try to grow thi-' crop on lands that are nonpro ductivc, with the idea of buildin up the scfls. Where there is nr good natural drainage, it must be supplic J artificially before alfalfa can succeed. Tile drains placed ?. feet below the surface will ordin-' arily lower the water table enough. Alfalfa does not make a good stand on sour soils. .i V i County Ballads.’’ . Nicolay becomes a great admirer of a young Illinois lawyer, a tall, sallow, slender fellow who appears to have political promise. One day Nicolay, perhaps more than ordinarily Inspired, writes an editorial appealing to the nation to make Abra ham Lincoln President. He pulls proof, laboriously, on his- hand press, and mails them to editors he knows. The idea takes. There is big talk about it. Political thunders are heard afar. Finally Lincoln is elected. Now one of Lincoln’s strongest traits was his ability not to forget friends. When he went to Washing ton lie took John G. Nicolay with him as his aide! firsbfriend and «atlvisor. Nicolay was, perhaps, a sort of Col onel House to Lincoln. Nor did Nicolay forget his friend. So John Hay, too, moved to Washing ton. Of the twain, Nicolay and Hay, perhaps opportunity smiled the larger for Hay. John Hay became secretary to President Lincoln when twenty-four years old, became ambassador to the court of St. James, became secretary | of state under President McKinley and Roosevelt, became the greatest diplomat that the United States has ever known, took time from his political duties to be, for a time, edi tor of the New York Tribune when Horace Greeley published it. And John Hay promulgated the Open Door to China. A treaty he negotiated with Great Britain healed a sore of fifty years’ standing. • John G. Nicolay became one of the greatest historians of Lincoln, be came consul to Paris and then mar shal of the Supreme Court of the United States. Pittsfield, 111., is today only a village; maybe 3.000 people. Few see it because no railroad passes through; a stub line its only trans port. But on the courthouse square stands a noble boulder. On it are en graved four names: Abraham Lincoln Stephen A. Douglas John G. Nicolay John Hay Douglas, who once defeated Lincoln for the senate, was added to the list because he, like the others, was a familiar sight in Pittsfield in those prewar days when the four were carving their careers out of the rough. So I say to you, viewing the above apart, If you ever see a woman chas ing a frightened little boy with a broomstick, lift him up and put him on your roan mare behind .you. It may lend him to the court of St. James or to the opening, perhaps, of some door to China. Or even to a share in the making of some future Lincoln. . «£). 1929. Lester B. Colby.) Why Commander Must First Learn to Obey In the great academies where young men are trained to be officers in the army and navy, one of the first lessons they must learn is that of obedience. Yet these men are not being trained to take orders all their lives; they are being trained to give form him of the “good thing” to be done to inherit eternal life. * 2. His errors. (1) About Christ (v. 16). He cs- feemed Jesus to he good, but did not apprehend Him as God; otherwise lie would have known Him not merely as one who did good, but as one who is essentially good; that is, God. (2) Concerning himself. He thought he was good and that he could do something good. (3) Concerning eter nal life. 'Ho thought that it could be obtained by good works. He did not know that the only way to gain eternal life was to receive it as a gift from God (Rom. G:23). II. The Lord's Dealing With Him (vv. 17-22). Jesus skillfully led the young man to see his errors. 1. His question—“Why callest thou me good?” (v. 17). Before giving him a chance to an swer He declared that only God was good, as if to say, “I am good, and therefore God.” He was God manifest in the llesh. and repudiated the thought of being known merely as a good man. 2. Jesus’ answer to the young man’s question (vv. 17-20'. ' “If thou wilt enter Into life, keep the commandments.” Christ met him here on his own ground, namely, that of the law. He took the j J oung man’s level that the young man’s real worth might he revealed (Rom. 3:19, 20). 3. Christ’s command (vv. 21, 22). Replying to Christ’s citation of the commandments of the law, the young -man asserted that hejiad kept them from his'youth. Yet in his inner con science he knew that there was some thing lacking. When, he had to make the supreme decision between Jesus and his possessions, he chose wealth. III. The Relationship of the Rich to the Kingdom (vv. 23-2G). This teaching concerning the peril of riches was most timely. Covetousness was fast taking hold of the people. 1. It is difficult for the rich to enter into the kingdom (vv. 23. 24). This difficulty lies not in the possession of riches, for a man may possess greal riches and be an heir of the kingdom. Money in itself is essentially good, li j will help the poor and help bring the gospel to the lost. The difficulty lies in trusting in riches. 2. Entrance Into the kingdom, though difficult, is possible (vv. 25, 2G). (1) It is possible for the grace of God to sanctify riches, to open a man’s : eyes that he may see his downward course and repent, to change a man from self-seeking to self-sacrificing. IV. Rewards for Following Christ (vv. 27-30)., Those who turn their backs upon their kindred and possessions for the sake of Christ shall ’receive an him dredfold in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. Obedience Obedience is the secret. Not slavish obedience, but sympathetic, loving j eager obedience. “His delight Is in ; the law of the Lord.” May the law of j holiness be to me welcome ns the light, sweet as the (lowers, more to In- orders—to be officers commanding i desired than much fine gold.—W.

The reason for this is that before * man can learn to command, he must learn to obey.
