PRA.CTICA.L APPLICATIONS. (;olden text. "In. hini was life; and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4), 1. Christ the true life, 1. A life of the highest knowledge,' a knowledge of the morel nature of (rod, the spiritual nature of nuts, a-nd the true nature of the relations between God and man. This knowledge is threefold in its contents, and is the blended result of the percep- tions • of the intellect, heart and con eelence, Neither alone can reach it; for to obtain even glimpses of 'it we must' be • elevated above the uncertainties of the Intellect, the eclfisbncss of the henrt a s 1 6 o a and the bewilderments of ' conscience, "'This is life • eternal;" and Christ pos- sessed it in its fulness, because he had this knowledge in absolute fulness and certainty, and came to bear witness to it, and thus to bridge over the gulf which. the greatest geniuses had failed to span, 2. A life of perfect love. I .nowi- eilge the most perfect is only' one ele- ment. Love is the grandest form of life, because it includes ail the other virtues, which. without it are nothing. Consider the infinite difference between the senti- ments we cherish toward. Shakespeare and. Christ. We admire and wonder in the one ease; We admire and worship in the other, • The one added immensely to uur ]iteratere and our knowledge; the other created a new religion and discov- ered a God of greater goodness than the world had ever known, because the key- note of his -lifo was - sacrifice and its mown the cross. 3. A life of perfect doing. The greatest life is that in which the grandest ideas, emotions and actions are perfectly blended. Such was his life. Human nature is ordinarily so poor, that often the men with large emotional na- tures have a difficulty in keeping them- selves pure, and are not great in ideas, and rice versa. Consider the life that •moat have been in Christ. Not to insist on the wonderful quantity of work that (Christ did! look at its transcendent quality, the nature of his acts and their motive. 11. Christ the life and light of men. Christ's life was a divine revelation. It is nut speculation that vain teach us the highest religious truth, but that truth embodied in a life. Christ is the light of the world, the revelation of the char- acter and will of the Father, and of what man rnay become. Christ's life is the greatest miracle of history. Great- ness and gentleness, holiness and, pity, strength and sympathy are perfectly blended. His life was the light and life of men in that He delivered men from ignorance, unbelief and vice, and from the ruin and misery which are their invariable attendants; and• brought them to the knowledge of divine things, to faith and holiness, and to that tem- poral and eternal happiness with which these are inseparably connected. This change He effected 1. 13y His doctrine, which is divine efficacy, not only for en ligh tening, but for purifying and transforming the soul, and imparting consolation and happiness. `_'. By Ilis in- carnation, life. and death. For these were the clearest revelation of God, the benevolence of His nature, and His paternal love to men, of the Saviour, and His great and glorious work, of the dignity of man, and the certainty of a state of immortal existence beyond death and the grave. 3. By His example. The example (1) of His holiness, which gave evidence and efficiency to His doc- trine; (2) of Isis "sufferings, and the- glory heglory that •should. follow'," • in which 1Te is our pattern. (71 .Tim. 2, 11; Roe - 17, 20).. 4. By .Ila inetin ding down the holy Ghost upon aposties, imstituting baptism, the Lord's supper, the Christian ministry, public worship, and other religious exercises, which are the most effectual xneans for banishing ignorance and unbelief, im- piety and misery, from the earth, and for the diffusion and establishment of knowledge and faith, virtue and gen- uine happiness among men. 111. Christ's influence known by its fruits. What is the evidence that the sun is active? The fact that every root is sprouting. What i, the evidence that the sun has brought summer? The fruits of summer. What is the evidence that the sun has been shedding down upon the earth its light and warmth and ripming power? The flavor of the fruit. Bring Inc an apple. 1f it is hard and acid, 1 know that it is the product of a rainy, sunless summer. Bring me an- other, and if it is mellow and full of sugar and aroma, I know that the sugar and aroma do not come out of the ground, but from where there was light and heat. And I cue judge of the influ- ence under which nations have been un- folded by the nature of the fruit they produce. Show me a nation developing coarse animation, and I will show you n. nation that has not been true to the light. On the other hand, show Inc an individual, a family, a community that yields the products of a higher moral nature, and I will pronounce that higher moral nature to be the result of the life and light of men. •"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of right,eonsnass quietnesss and assurance for ever." -From Biblical Il- lustrator. 4•n.

It must be a great relief to some men when their wives become widows. The man with a wife and several grown up daughters seldom hoards his .money. Don't think because a man buys a volume of poetry that he is going to )read it. It's up to the chap who is unable to see any good in the world to consult an oculist. The average rnan will stand without hitching a good deal better than if tied with an apron string. Ever notice that almost every one you talk with gives you some information that isn't of any earthly use to you? t III ,.0 c Y COW TESTING ASSOCIATIONS. Dominion Department of Agriculture Branch. of the Dairy alnd',.Cijid . Storage' Commissioner. The records of two soeiai;ions in the Province of Quebec :are full of interest. In one associ iti,,n the lip hest yield of any cow in, a certain herd during six months, Jane to :"cnvenrber, Wits 132 lbs. fat. In tt neigltberip;g . herd the best yield was 200 'lbs. fat, or a difference of 08 lbs. fat. This is a differenee in the earning power of these two cows of at least seventeen dollars in six months. ''This is not a contrast between a good and a poor cow, but i'ret\reen the best cow in eaoh herd. In this ease twenty cows of the -one kind equal forty-four of the • other, ns resards value of product. Why should not the 'returns from scores, yes hundreds, of our dairy cower be increased by seventeen dollars? They could be very easily, if farmers were fully alive to the posisbilities of system- atie improvementl We must aim higher. ' In another aesoeiation a more startling difference is deasernible. Itr one herd the best cow yielded 450 lbs. fat during the full period' of lactation, while the best cow in another herd gave only 141 lbs. With -batter fat at 25 cents per Ib. the one cow is credited with $12.70, and the other with only $35.32. This is a difference of $57.38 between these two cows. Assuming that the cost of feed is the same in both cries, and is $30, we find that 12 cows in the one case would equal 188 of the other. T C. F W. Care of the Farm Weil. (Louden Free Press.) ee very nneralirnt service rendered by the Chemical ,;;a feeler of the Experimental Farm at Ottawais in the free examina- tion of well water, from samples •sub- mitted. The farmer f Canada can not only have their set a s analyzed at this great estab and obtain all available ' concerning vege- table and tt the quality of the wat drink or supply to their ifutly inquired. into a n they have ren: not as it : n t s was the cash over a great part o dition of the water in' and back door well fregfc a serious men- ace to hea ely, by its offen- sive taste, ( tppearance, such water, as the r in his report re- marks, carries own condeuuration. The absence f sigh indications of pollution, however, is not to be taken as evidence of parity. In most eases the wholesomeness ,• a water can only be determined by s .aeeriest process. Of 281 samples' t to the department, only 9U were auatyxed, the remainder being set aside for insufficiency of quan- tity for the purposes of a proper test, or dirty bottles or corks. The ninety waters upon being ana- lyzed were reported on as follows: Good and wholesome, 28;' suspicious and prob- ably dangerous, 21; contaminated and totally condemned, 80; saline, 1I. Two samples credited to London, Ont., marked, - "\\', E. St," are returned as "suspicious." Samples from Forest and Winchester as "seriously contaminated." One from the latter was found "serious• ly polluted." One sent from London, Ont., narked "A. 11, C.," was returned as "decidedly suspicious." Perfectly pure water is a rare excep- tion. In many instances where the sup- ply is thought to be absolutely beyond question, the chemist's report is a shocking revelation of misplaced con- fidence. • \'while the work at Ottawa is excellent and trustworthy as far as it goes, it is folly to suppose that it goes far enough, or is adequate to protect the vast bulk of people dependent upon pure food sup- plies from the farms of the country.• As the report before us points out, the health and thrift 01. the stock de- pends on the quality of the water sup- ply to which they have access. It is as necessary to have pure water for farm animals' as for man, and intelligent, pro- gressive farmers recognize this fact. In the dairy and cheese factory pure water is essential, if the products are to be pure, of first-class quality and flavor, and keep well. it is said that an active, movement is on foot for the inspection andanalysis of the water supplies of - all farms, dairies, etc., in Ontario, supplying dairy. products- to the public, and such a measure is to be commended. It is useless to expect pure tool in meat or milk from sources where the water used is -"polluted," "eontaminat- ecl" or "suspicious." Tlle' wzter itr d farmbe wells, or in urban conrlt%ts, shoul as far as possible above suspicion. Blending Wheat. Coterie farmers ought to be vitally interested in the process of blending wheat. 73lending mean& not only better flour, it also means a .growing demand end higher prices for Ontario wheat. Stripped of all techniet l terms, blend- ing is the process by which the millers grind Ontario wheat with n.'. little Man- itoba wheat. Just Roust 'trawl of tmch kind, has been found out by a series of eare nl This woman says Lydia R. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured her. 3[tead her letter. Mrs. J.A, Laliberte, of 34 Artilierie St., Quebec, writes to Mrs. Pin kltam : " For six years I have been doctoring for female weakness, heart and nerves, liver and kidney trouble, but in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I can•safely say I have found a cure. " I was continually bothered with the most distressing backaches, headaches, and bearing -down pains, and •I kept growing more and more nervous. " Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound relieved me of all these distress- ing symptoms and made me a well woman. 1 would advise all suffering women, young or old, to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." FACTS FOR SICK, WOMEN. For thirty years Lydia E.

Marvelous case of Leo Corrigan which shows that skin diseases here- tofore considered hopeless can be cured. Since childhood, Leo Corrigan had been tortured with the burning agony and itching of Eczema. His parents had spent a great deal of mousy to con- sulting physicians and buying medicines -but all to no purpose. As lee grew older he sought other doctors -some of them specialists. He was eleven weeks in a Toronto hospital - eight weeks in bed. At times the irri- tation and pain caused by the Eczema were so severe, life was a burden. He would get so bad he could not walk. Several winters he could do no work. w He wrote, on February 20, I906: " In November, 1905, I had another attack, and was advised to use Mira Ointment. (I thought this would be like the other remedies I had tried, and of no use to me). But, to my great delight, a fow hours after "the Heat application., I felt great relief. I have uses it, now, two and a -half months, and unhesitatingly state that it is the beat remedy I ever used. It has worked wonders for me. Since using Mira Ointment I have been able to work every xray -without irritation or pain -no stiffness of the limbs or soreness, 1 feet a new person. 'From a•state of great irritation and some- times excruciating pains to freedom from all such,, being capable of doing hard work every day, 11 a marvelous change. Mira Ointment has effected it. "I strongly recommend any personnfiiieted with this terrible complaint -Eczema -to use )flira Ointment." 'What this wonderfully effective Oint- ment has done in this extreme chronic ease, it can do in other seemingly incur- able conditions. If you suffer from any form of skin -disease, don't delay.
