in every phase of a Christian life, The
cause of intemperance is really the•
manifestation of sin. Sin is the mime,
of every wrong-doing. The 'only so

more closely studied, and taken more
definitely as a= guide to our daily lives.

'know' the difference between the uses
of fall and spring Wheat, pastry and
bread flour, Shorts and bran. This
lesson completed the oral lecture, made
Practical by a tour of the mill and
