The old fashioned spinning wheel has been developed into the mighty Belfast linen mine. The old fashioned acYthe bas evoluted into the swift mowing machine, which .goese, singing through the harvest fields, 5 The old fashioned prairie schooner has long since given plaW to the tireless velocity of the light- ning express, Which nevertstops by day or by night except, like a, thirsty nioneter, to take a. drink. . The •patent* offices in • Washington are crowded with innumerable in- eeentions for the saving of labor and time-, In none of them, however, is the contrast between modern. and ancient methods so marked as we see It when the mammoth flour mills, of 11i nneepoli s a re CPI:Spared with the custom referred to in t he text. In that great city of the Northwest not only is the grain alnioet, instantly changed .into flour by the hest of modern machinery, but practically not one grain is lost. "Upon the old fashioned 'thrashing floor everything woe different. There a team of oxeit would be harnessed to a collection of boards nailed together. Then these boards would be dragged over the grain and the -chaff would be broken from the kernels of wheat. Then the winds would blow over the thrashint; floor and separate the chaff from the wheat. ' Such were the thrashing floors of the ancients-. Now, as Moses went in, nod out of the country he saw a great many of these thrashing floors. Fuetherinore, he saw that among 'their owners there were • a great many mean meg in those days, as there are in our oven days. He saw that these mean men nearly always first showed their meanness to their beasts. They not only overworked their oxen but they underfed them. Their .mean - mem was Most emphatically demon- strated when thrashing. Fearing lest their hard worked oxen might reacti down and pick up from the thrash- ing floors a stray niputhful of grain tM eat, these mean farmers would muzzle their *beasts 'hp that the hun- gry animals could se the food and: yet not eat any. Now, Moses says in a practical way: "These men must be taught to be merciful to their beasts. I have Made a law re- quiring them to obey God and be just in their dealings with their neighbors. Now I will niake another taw requiring thein to be liberal in their provision for the animels which m work for the." Then the great Jaw -giver of the Hebrews sits down and writes these weeds of my text: • "Shall:shalt not- muhzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn." Moses was the first great strafes -- man that know of who recognized the rights of dumb animalsIt is a significant fact, that, in this early code of laws he should have given legal_ rights to animals as weft ae to :nen and women. It was A sound and righteous course, and I am glad to remember that We, too, have not, only !awe to prevent the III usage of animals, but Lila° in, the Humane So- ciety an organization to sea that those laws are enfotced. 1 want to ellow you this morning why every Chrietian shouid be in touch with that society and that its principles should be applied to all classes and alt ages.

But as the small fibrOUS tumor, nest- ing finder t he fair akin, if let alone, .may reach out its fatal roots toward the ',cart. so the evils of cruelty against (taint) animals may at last mucli out for the heart of man it- self. Injustice agginst the dumb brute inevitably -paves the way for injtiStier .against the dumb 'brute's master..

The drivers never jerked them, but al- ways talked kindly to them and coaxed them. And though those horse e seemed to have within them all the pentup ambition of Job's war charger, "smelling the battle from afar," yet in the hands of their kind masters they became gentle, lovable and docile: An old, grumpy, dyspeptic philos- opher once said, "The more I see of men the better I like dogs."
