LAW OF MORAL FRUITAGE
No Such Thing as Moral Independ=
ence and Separateness.
"Be net deceived; God is not mocked,
for whatsoever a man soweth that shall
be also reap."—Gal, v1., 7,
Truth has many sides; error is horn, of
seeing only one. We can lay so much
emphasis on the splendid and too long
forgotten truth of the infinite goodness,
tenderness and mercy that rules through
all the universe as to lose sight of those
sterner aspects of moral law which aro
necessary to strong end properly pro.
portioned moral character.
The truth is, Infinite love Is so great
as to seem to wear at (Imes the aspect
of hatred, 'It Is too wise to be weak; too
kind to be always tender, soft, easy, and
gentle. It speaks in tones of thunder,
as well as In the placid breath of eve.
It punishes as well as comforts. 'there
is a stern and fearful aspect to the un-
varying laws under which we are all
living, an aspect whIela many learn too
late.
- Men 'need to remember that not only
is there forgiveness, there is justice. So
great is the love that is expressed In
law that not the least command can be
broken with impunity. Evil must fall on
the evildoer. The relentless law holds
ever, as a man sows so shall he reap.
The guilty may find mercy, but there Is
nc undoing what has been clone.
This is the undeviating decree. Sin
sown cannot be uprooted by easy re-
pentance. Ts there greater folly than
that of him who sows his wild oats,
HIS GREED AND INIQUITY,
hoping, whenever lie wills, to check their
fruitfulness with a flood of tears? He
finds his error who plans on a penitence
that will give him the pleasure of sin
now and shield him from its pains at
harvest.
Every voice of nature, every incident
of life speaks of this same law. None
can sots in the fields of this world the
seeds of hate, of strife, of oppression,
injustice, malice, lust, and shame and
escape the stern fact that this world is
so ordered that every deed, every word
and even thbughl Is vital, freighted with
life, and none may know how long it
shall live and continue to bear its fruit,
Nor can we say to ourselves: "What is
all this to me? I will bear my own bur-
den, take my own chances, and. if there
bo frult to my sowing of to -day, 1 will
reap with fortitude to -morrow." No man
sows to himself alone, We live, not in
separate and walled off fields, blit on a
great open common, where the winds
blow free and the ways cross and re-
eross; there Is no such thing es poral
independence and separateness.
I may sow by myself but I cannot reap
alone. Others will taste the fruitage of
my errors. This Is the deletes( aspect of
all sin, not alone that it sets the (rend of
evil habit and bears for me its immune.
Sting
m umu-
loting weight of woe and remorse, its
inevitable consequences, but that no man
can say where my sowing shall fall, nor
how long the fruitage shall go On. Na-
ture, stern and unrelenting, teaches one
of her great lessons -by allowing every
member to suffer
BY THE WRONG OF ONE.
This is the damage wrought by com-
mercial greed, by the mammoth social
sin of to -day, not alone that it sears the
soul of the sinner and binds him down
to the level of his lusts, but that it
crushes other lives; its black train goes
on like a pingue. The greed of one
means the need of many. Thus by our
common suffering we learn to make a
common fight against ern.
But there is the other side; the good is
as fruitful es the bad. The law of the
harvest holds here; there are no barren
sowings of mercy, helpfulness, and
love. No man knows how many genera-
tions of kindness will come from the
single seed of an everyday good deed.
The straggle goes on; the while seed
of good deeds is choking the black. A
man's worth to the world, leis service to
society, and his own inner harvest every
day depend on whether he is putting into
life seed true or false, from above or be-
low; for no pretenses, phrases, or even
prayers shall avail to change the law
that as he sows so shall he reap.

THE S. S. LESSON
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
DEC. 9.
Lesson X. Jesus on the Cross. Golden
Text: Luke 23. 34,
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Note.—The text of the Revised Version
Ls used as a basis for these Word
St tidies.
Intervening Events.—The narrative of
Luke from which our last and our pre-
sent lessons are lateen omits several Ln -
portant incidents In Use trial of Jesus
before Pilate recorded by the three other
evangelists. Matthew, Mark and John
all mention the abuse and mockery to
which Jesus was forced to submit at the
hands of tete Roman soldiers "within
the court, which is the Prwtoriunt,"
where, after the "whole band" had been
called together, they "stripped him, and
put on hem a scarlet robe'; and "platted
a crown of thorns and put it upon his
' head, and a reed in itis hand"; and
"kneeled down before hitt, and mocked
hirn, saying, Hall, Ring of the Jews I"
and "spat upon hem and took the reed
and smote him on the head" (Malt. 27.
27.30). At this point John atone Contin-
ues the narrative, completing the de-
scription of the trial scene by his nen-
tion of the fact that from the abuse and
ignominy to which he had been sub-
jected within the Prtetoriuut, Pilate again
led Jesus forth unto the people with the
purple garment still about his shoulders
and the crown of thorns still upon his
head. It was Pilate's last effort to se-
cure the release of the prisoner, whom,
having cruelly scourged, he lends forth
unto the accusers, hoping apparently
tri the appearanco'of the heeding and
buffeted form and ince ul lire innocent
Man would arouse human compassion
in the hearts of his hitter enemies. Find-
ing himself mistaken in this calculation
and yet lacking the courage of his deep.
est conviction, Pilate proceeds to taunt
the Jews whnnu in his heart he is afraid
to strongly oppose. "Stall I crucify
your king?" is the last question which,
according to John's narrative, Pilate put
to the Jews. But, "The chief priests
answered, We have no king int Caesar.
Then therefore he delivered Iain unto
than to be crucified." Read carefully
Malt, 27. Mark 10 and John 19 for the
complete ua'rateve. The verses inter-
vening in Luke's narrative between last
Sunday's lesson and this one record the
forced service rendered "by one, Simon
of Cyrano, doming from the country,"
who was compelled to bear lie cross
under the weight of which Jesus had
fallen to the eerie. These verses also
mention the multitude of people end of
women wlio followed Jesus, bewailing
and .lamenting him. end the words of
Jesus to the weeping women containing
a last prophecy of the severe judgment
\vetioh was 8000 11V00010 upon those who
Were rejecting God's Mosslall.

the location of the hill et crucillxion we
know from Heb, 13. 12, that it waS
"without the gate"; and from Matt. 27.
30, that it must have been near a public
highway; and again from Sohn 10. 20,
that the site eannnL have been far from
the city. The tradiUcntil silo is now
within the oiler elty wall, though it ap-
pears to have been outside of an Ismer
well at the time of Christ. Another
suggested silo having many things in
its favor is situated not far from the
»amorous gale, just above the grotto of
Jer•enlalt,, and elliskle of the present
Outerwall. ttolh sites weulrl seem to
Scripture references impose, the latter
having the advantage of being a skull -
shaped hill near a prominent road and
plainly visible from several directions.
34. And Testis said—The words which
follow, Father forgive them ; for they
know not what they do. were spoken ap-
parently while the soldiers were crucify-
ing the Speaker. The prayer of Jesus
for forgiveness of his executioners can-
not refer simply to the Roman soldiers,
who were only doing their duty in exe-
cuting a sentence pronounced by what
to them constituted competent author-
ity. The prayer was beyoni doubt for
the Jews, or at. least for the. Jews also,
and especially for the Swish suthori-
lti
Lias who were the persons ultimately
y
resp1onsible for what was being done;
and for Pilate also, who cannot have
recognized even as fully as the Jewish
authorities the passible signl0cance and
consequent iniquity of the deed.
35. The people ... and the rulers also
—A great concourse of people. Among
Christian nations public execution has
since fallen into disapproval and has
been largely discontinued.
He saved others—Doubtless some who
were present among these who uttered
Mese wends recalled the 25s0 of Lazarus
especially which had occurred so near
Jerusalem only a short time before.
38. Offering hire vinegar—The ordi-
nary sour wine, or "posca," which the
soldiers were accustomed to drink.
Apparently they could not reach his lips
with a cup held in the hand ; otherwise
the sponge would not have been placed
on a stalk. Comp. ,iohn 10. 29, "They
put a sponge full of vinegar upon hys-
sop, and brought it to his mouth."
There is, however, no reason for sup-
posing that the feet of Jesus were en a
level with the heads of the spectators
as pictures of the crucifixion sometimes
represent.
38. And there was also n superscription
oter him written, as John is careful to
record. "in itebrew, and in Latin, :and
in Greek."
This Ls the King of the Tews—Mal-
thew words the supersorlpLinn thus;
"This is Jesus the Ling of the Jews"
(Matt. 27. 37.) Mark in his usual brief
way simply indirnles the import of the
tenger superscription, "Tho hing of the
Taws" (Mark 15. 20.) John gives the full-
est rendering, namely, "Jesus of Nazar-
eth, the Ring of the Jews" (.iohn 19. 1.9.)
11 Is possible thin the wording of the
supenscriplion vetted sightly in the
three different languages ; or it may he
That iohn. who was an rye witness of
the scene, has recorded Mr us the exact
wording, while the ocher evangelists give
only its substance as this was reported

30. One of the malefactors—in Mark
we rend, "And they lint were crucified
with him reproaelied him"; and in Mat-
thew, "And the robbers; also that were
crucified with him cast upon him the
soma reproach."
40. Luke alone menlinns the penitenne
of one of the malefactors referred to in
verses 40-53 of our lessen text. which
vetsas consequently have no parallel in
the other gospel narratives.

1'o AU Who are Interested in the Alle-

On this the Thirly-second Anniversary
In the lie of our "llumo" for the tone-
less, we, the Board of Management, de-
sire to express our gratitude to the peo-
ple. of Taranto and Province, who have
sn genol'ously contributed their means
to the support of our Institution; and
whose kindly help, under God's blessing,
has enabled us to continue and succ,°ss-
ftlly carry on our labor of love and
helped us to provide and care for seine

misfortune of circumstance have been
rendered unfit for the strenuous battle
of it.
Some idea of our "Hone" growth and
111Cre0se of expense may Le gathered
from the statement that, at the time of
cur removal in December, 1850, from
our original quartets on Bathurst
Street to our present location, we had
under our care nineteen patients.
Through a fluelualiug, but steadily in-
creasing list of inmates, we have now
under our charge one hundred and
t'"t'ly patients, the care of whom neces-
sitates a co'lwspnnding increase in our
daft,- Of this number nearly two-thirds,
—85 of 140—are entirely dependent upon.
the Homo for their support, the remain-
der contributing to their maintenance
more or less, according to their circum-
stances.
During all our experience we have
been resh'icled in the extension of our
enterprise by a lack of accommodation
for many tvho wait outside for the help
we fait would give then. There is al-
ways a "walling list" of more than we
can provide for, and to -day there are
twenty-three applicanie for whom we
have no room. Our capacity is laxed
to the sanitary limit and an immediate
extension of our premises is absolute-
ly necessary to the successful accom-
plishment of our mission, and for this
we require at once from $25,000 to $30,-

MUTTON CHOPS.
A pound or quart of oats and corn fed
daily to sheep will be found a good
ration where hay is scarce or poor in
quality.
Anather good ration can be found in
feeding plenty of clover hay with about
two gills of corn per head daily.
Corn should always be carefully fed
to sheep, as it is liable to cause them to
be feverish.
As weaning lime approaches the grain.
ration should be dropped and a full sup-
ply of bright clover hay
given.
The breeding ewes must he kept up 115
strong, thrifty condition, but not allowed
le become overfaL or feverish.
Turnips, as well as sugar beets, sltouicl
be liberally fed. Cornstalks when cul
and cured bright before frost are much
relished by sheep.
See that the' pens are free from drafts,
but be sure to have good ventilations.
A close, stuffy pen le fatal to sleep.
Drafts are also fatal.
They should have the run of a good
clean yard, but should be kept in dur-
ing cold storms.
The feeding racks should be cleaned
after every feeding, as the sheep never
relish fodder that has been breathed ou.
Always have a good clean supply of
water. -
Sheep would famish before drinking
from a tainted water bucket or trough.
If J'ou wish to succeed with sheep you
must keep their feet and backs dry.
1t is a mistaken idea for a man to go
into sheep growling because there is no:
work to it. To win in any business
there must be care, caution and kind-
ness.
Sheep will eat and seem to like much
forage that other animals reject, and the
oats from horses or cattle are nearly all
eaten up by sheep. Bean and pea vines
anti many varieties of weeds, if well
cured as bn,y, are eaten greedily. While
this reduces tiro cost of keeping the
sleep, they should not be made to sub-
sist upon soh food. They need some
good hay and a little grain or a fete
roots every day during Mc winter to
obtain the best results in lambs or in
wool.
Sono men argue that the time and

IL has been my i11 fortune to do some
judging at fairs of different dairy breeds,
end I have judged them all from the
standpoint of a dairyman, the cow that
In my Judgment could bring in the most
dollars with 1110 least cost.
It is often said that the dairyman does
not need to look so closely after some
of the fancy points of breeding. This is
true in a measure, but I think to -day
lite two classes, the breeder and the
dairyman, are more alike than they
have eve' been before, the breeder giv-
ing in to some' of the less essential
points; and the dairyman who is look-
ing out for his best interest and the
best production from hls cows has his
eye out to a largo number of the so-
called fancy points, which, after all, do
contribute something to the makeup of
a good dairy cow.
In looking Over lneny of the reports
of men who have been through the
country taking a cow census, I 11nd that

his stock by introducing into his herd a

As I travel through the country and
see the condition stock is iu, how it is
carred for, and the feeds used, 1 am in-
clined to think that perhaps there is a
place for tine common or duets -purpose

cows aero kept out of doors all winter,
with a run in the old corn field, a little
pear hay, and the straw slack for shel-
ter. Would the strictly dairy cow be able
to do business under these coldilions?
She night probably survive,but the idea
of profit would be entirely out of the
question, for it would take at least, the
first half of the summer for her to pull
soul and body together, end by that

notion of giving melt milk.
It seems es though the experiences we
have given from line to time in our
different publications as to the economy,
and profit of these who are breeding
along dairy lines, would be convincing
