There are hundreds of people in thie howe this. morning who want to find the right road.

First, this road. of 'the text is. the King's highway.

It should span all the chasms of human wretchedness; it should tunnel all' the mountains of earthly • diffioalty; it should be wide enough and strong enough to hold fifty thotisand millions of the human -race, if bo Ameny of them. should ever be born. It shenld be blasted out of the "Bock of Ages," and cemented with the blood of the Cross, ond be lifted amid shouting of •angelii- and the' exe- cration' of devils. The Xing sent His Son to build that, road. He put head, ' end hand, and 'heart oto it, and after the road •Was completed waved Hie * blisteted haad over the way, crying: "IL is finished!" Napoleon paid fif- teen million francs ,for the •building of the. Simplon /toad, that: his eannon udglit go over for the devastatiou -of Italy ; but our Xing, at a greater ex- pense; has built a toed for a different Vetirpote, that the banners of heavenly dominion might tome down over It, and all the redeemed of earth travel up over It. Being a King's highway, of course it is well built. Bridges splendidly etched and buttressed have given way and eteshed the passengets who attempted to cross them. But Christ, the Xing, would build no such thing as that. The work done, He mount's the chariot of His love and ,. .naultRades mount with Him,. arid Ile .-010rives •on end flip the steep of heaven nude' Lite plaudits of gazing worlds! The work is done-weIl done -glorious., ly none-amagnificently done. *Still further: this road, spoken of Is a dean road. Many a fine road has become miry and foul because it has net been properly oared, for ; but my text nye the unclean shall not walk on thia tone, Room, on either side to ' throw away your elm, Indeed, if : yon want to catry theta along you are got on the right road.

Ilut if tabu are really on this olean toad of which I have been speaking, then $ou will stop ever and anon to waehi in the wa- ter that stem& in the baain of the eternal r001t.

But if one naafi come in the right spirit, trying the way to heaven, be will find It a Plain way The pardon is plain. The peace le plain. Everarthieg Plain. He who tries to get on !the, road to heaven throueh the New Testament tembing will get on beaatifully. Ile whit goose through philosophical discussion will not get on at All.

Third, by. growiog these crops the farmer es enabled .porportionately to increase the live stock ot his; farm, and, in consequence, proportionately to inerease its producing power. • Fourth, such a system exeroises a salutary influence on weed eradication because of the frequency. with which the ground is 'plowed and otherwise, disturbed, and, because the weeds which grow hi the forage are usually eaten down before they mature 'their seeds. Fifth, it Onables the farmer to provide secculent pasture for ani- mals at certain seasonet of • the eear, when ordinarily it could not be 'obir Wined in any other way, And it provides. vegetation that may be plowed under with great benefit to the land, when, because df ite abundanee, it has been only partially consuraed while .being grazed, All farmers on small or moderately sized holdings, who keep live stock should also grow forage crops in ad- dition to their gram pastures, since they cm much reduce the area required for the latter.
