The, teachiegof the holy scripture
takes it for granted that an intimate ee-
lationship eiists , between the laws of
the natural and of the 'scriptural exotica
The various sacred ,writers read the
eternal will of the Father in the simp-
lest laws of nature. The prophet Hos-
ea is no exception to the rule. He also,
On this analogy, frames his ,a.dyin,a as
giVeil in the text, which 'harmonizes so
beautifully with the harvest tante.
The soil Upon which God's husbandry
Is ahvays working is the heart and con-
ec:ence of mon. The divine messages,
the efforts, the means of grace, are ia
many showers of heavenly dew to soften
and penetrate hardened hearts. The
prophete, telleire jhea .We.sleetra, to Seen

Jaws of God's kingdom must be sub
served. Ile •emphaaizes tke fallow
ground as that upon which the fertil-
izing dew a of divine grace have
° MANY TIMES RESTED,
and, where the good seed of his word
is scattered daily.
We must net mistake the prophet's
meaning ,whert he speaks of "fallova
ground, ' He does not intend tosay
that a harvest of evil is reaped -or that
the ground was already preoccupied.
He means that the soil has produced no-
thing. God's mestages, warnings and
providences have been sent in vain. The
seed scattered broadcast by prophets,
Vise men and scribes has fallen where
it could take no root. It had not been
giver' a chance even to germinate, for
the soil was hard, uatilled, barren. The
work of God is always developing, and

Planning the' Meals. ---Fully half th
drudgery of planning "twentyone meale
a week" may be saved by plenrfing ali
of thein at once at the beginning of the
Week. Take acIvantege of a leisure
hour and write down little menus for
each one of the seven days-. • You will
find yourself getting more variety into
ihe meals and unconsciously thinking
up new combinations.
Furnish Carefully.—When furnishing
don't get anything except ,what there is
a positive need for, and tea everything
you get to see if it 'fulfils that purpose
Perfectly. Make a point of having eery
chair comfortable. There's 'nothing
more astonishing than the number...of Un-
comfortable chairs which are made
every year, soathat 'ordering chairs at
random is a mistake. Watch the grotip-
ing of furniture as carefully as you
watch the choice of it.. Let your orna-
ments. be as simple as possible, and
don't crowd them. , „
inabelped forward and Welcomed by us.,
While the dews of grace are Ille;ond-the
sheds alse,,,,and Hie also Alto power that
can ineke it take root downward and
bear fruit upward, yet a is our duty,. to
labor with Ilim aud to stirrender our
hearts to His gentle influence. .
Hence the prophet's story appears to
ue to break up elie fallow grotind. The
labor may be difilenit, it may cause toil
and anguish, especially to those who
have long neglected the work; but it
.must be piewed up and harrowed if we
are to sow to ourselves in righteous-
ness' that we
MAY REAP IN MERCY.
No matter how long we may have
permitted the soil of the soul to lie fal;
low and barren, the task of breaking it
tip is not impossible if we remember
thf4 "it is God whOweaketh in_345.bOth
'Co will ' and- to ao.' It i eertainlY 'corn
-
mon sense to work at it now with d1'
vine assistance than later on "to fall
into the hands of the living God."
When the work is left, to God exPeri-
ence shows that to heal lovingly He
strikes heavily. The departing sinner
knows too well how frightful and wear-
Iserneeas .God's process of breaking up
the fallow greuncl or a 'hardened' heart,
hi the last moments of life the dreadful
effects of God's work is often noted, and
the dying soul realizes "it is indeed time
Lo seek the Lord."' '
It is the part of wisdom to take the
time now. The past may have been
careless, lukewarm or indifferent, but
the time is now at hand to reap in
mercy-. "Seek Him while He may be
found; work with Him; help to harvest
.the seed he has sown, and then in the.
great granaries of eternal life the Treat
ef our labors,will rest with the harvest-
ing of' all work with God."

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS.
The principal task before- most of the
classes will be the- riastery of the story
of the kssens. Even the teacher .who
retains them all in mind will .do well,
The next point,1,sthe fastening in the
mind of seme dear -cut point from each
of the twelve lessons. This should be
done if at all possible.' Let the teacher
remember that a term's work which
cannot be reviewed has been a term's
work more or less disjointed and un -
workmanlike.
One is anipressed, as he reads the les-
sons of 'the quarter by- the picturesque-
ness of our Master's preaching. There
are no formal lecture,e no eystematie
.preseritations, of great doctrines, but
everything is connected with some hap-
pening in .his -life. There is always a
scene for the imagination .to paint, and
the play • of emotion as well as of
thought. Run through the lessonsof

GIRL SaWGGLER IN_BATTLE,
Guards Paesage of Her Sister Across
Italian Frontier.
Two girls named Weber°, need 17 and
it, years, have just accomplished a dar-
ing feat of smuggling., They belong
te, a fanelly whose ancestors have been
smugglers for a century. Their hunting
grounds are in the mountainswhere the
Swiss, Italian, and Austrian frontiers
nearly touch at the Stelvio Pass.
Many desperate fights with the Cus-
toms- °facials have taken place at this
spot, until the -Vacheros have been al-
most wiped out. There now remain of
the family only the father and m,other
and the, two daughters, who are the
heroines of this latest capon.
At present the father is suffering from
a ritle shot through the elbow, which
be 'describe as an "accident." He was
unable to get a large cargo of tobacco
across the Swiss frontier Into Italy, and
his daughters determined to smuggle
the contraband themselves. ,
They started, but near the surumit'of
the pass were discovered by two cus-
toms officials. 'While the elder girl pro-
cceded on the journey the younger one
kept the officers at bay with a rifle from
a sheltered position. .The men replied,
and the fusilade continued until, the sis-
ter with the tobacco had got a good
half hour's start. The younger sister
than disappeared, arid returned home by
making a long detour in the mountains,
every path of which she knows. --
