Friknbs op Tnn a "Humor Is tho harmony or tho henrt," nnd I believe that in no man existed to greater degree this tender harmony of the henrt than in Abraham Lincoln. Tho phrase "That reminds me of a story" was always followed by narrative whoso quaint humor, unanswerable logic and appropriateness con--uKcd all hearers, nnd grtvo to Lincoln's stories a Nationnl, if not world-wide, fame. TIici-o stories win nl once our admiration. I think that In their simpllaity rests their greatness. Whether related in the cabin of tho honest pioneer or in the highest theater of our land, they elicited tho samo ap-nlausc.

Truly, with Lincoliutho art of story-lolling was a powor. What balnf in "That reminds mo of story "I Under its taltstnanio Influence the would-be advisor and tho ofllco scckor wero turned away; it endeared him to his friends nnd wielded potent sway in the debate. Doubtless tho telling was a chief part. Yet they do not lose their Bbnrp point-cducss when in uncxpressivo ink. But his stories ttill remain.

1 can only regard them ns part and parcel of his greatness. Wherever we read these bright gleanings thoy cannot fail to temper our love of tho humorous with a love of tho noble manhood of tho "sad-faced statesman." Bruce L. Smith, Newman, ill. THANKS FOB C. a Dkah C.

Sylvester Kcclcr. OUK BOOK C1KCLE. Dear. CC: I not long since rend tho great religious novel, "Robert JSlsmcro," by Mrs. Humphrey Ward.

It Is well worth very careful perusal, not only for the religious controversy, but for a study of character. Tho descriptions nro not often surpassed by the ephemeral fiction of to-day. But it is to tho great religious theory thero first prominently euuuciatcd.that tho mind of the literary world has been directed. Mrs. Ward has failed to accomplish that for which the book was written the substitution of new religious theory for our present orthodox religious belief.

Not only has she failed miserably to build up rationally this now brotherhood, of which Elsmcrc is tho leading spirit, hut sho has failed to make one sound argument against ouror thodox religion. She hns not buttered it. but rather has made her religion appear in all the mora flimsy light. Everything seems lo lurn upon the Squire, who bj simply one of thoe old fogies who docs not live in a world of reality, and who read books that never wero written. No doubt Mrs.

Ward's reverence for Christ not much lessened by her conclusion thnt ho is not divine, and that miracles do not happen. But Gail Hamilton lcst cxpreaos a truth when she says no one would think of praying to Washington, or saying grace to Lincoln, it would be very irreverent. The Idea of Christ that he was only great, good ns prominent C. C. member puts it, is un-reasonable.

Not only sacred but profane liLitory agrees to the performance of miracles by the Naza-rcuc. The leaching of Christ aud of Jolm Sltmrl 3Iill docs not differ materially. Their philosophy is very ruucii the same, xvl wlio lualuosircu 10 save the souls of the plain folk of the world would think of taking a text from John Stuart Mill? No ono I Christ's power, Christ's life, and Christ's death are an necessary In raving soul-ins anyone of the moral of Christ. Ho was moro than great, good man." If ho was not. who wa7 There never lived a man who approached near unto Christ's perfection.

No man has lived who was not bo human but that other people did not aotnclimos offend htm; noiiinn but waa nometimes hurl by a taunt, of which Christ bore many. As regards words, perhaps moral teachings as Scrfcct have been taucht by other creeds, and even other wen than Christ. But deeds not words arc the measure of a Christian life well lived. And measured by this alandard Christ is found perfect not wanting. Yea.

he was more than "great, good man Thoy say that a groat man's influence never dies. But time lessens lu power. Time has not lenxcned Christ's power. It has strengthened it. It will Mrengthen ns tho future ages roll by.

His was a pre-oiuinout greatae that of moral greatness, the first of all greatness. Mrs. Ward's religion is not the roligioti of to-day. 11 eliminates loo much from its perfection. I waul other C.

Coolc sn8 lit tho Michigan Conner ''From tlio many lotlcnrwuich I havo rccolvod regarding tlio grnhi tjiiB (Aphis avenie nnd tho fact that I qui to numerous upon tho Yuuall 1 contilu'do that this epecios is doing its mischiof ovor a tviuo aroa tliis season. Ami ns tho farmers arcory nnxious, I deem it wiso to pubHsh what is known about this pc3t. "Iu 1801 this grain aphis was very abundant in Now Euglaud aud Now York. Dr. Fitch do-scribed it then as working muoh injury to oats, wheat, barloy, and ryo.

Tho louso is groon, yellowish green, or reddish yellow in color. So far ns I havo bcoii this season it i3 green, or yellowish grcon. Thns in India thoy call it tho green midgo. Tho term is of courso incorrect. Tho midgo is a two-winged ily, and tlio larva a footless mnggoi.

Tho insect is a plant louso. Tlicso lico early iu tho season are found on tho leaves and stoma, and aro always green in color. As tho heads form tho lico remove to these hends and gnthor about tho forming kernels. Then tho lico hecotno tinted with yollow, or occasionally with red or orange. Under favorablo circumstances dry weather such as wo had in April nnd May is vory conducive to tho rapid iticreaso of theso Hco oach louso produces from llfrco to five lico daily.

Theso young lico cominonco producing young when threo days old. Thus wo seo that In loss than month a siuglo louso might ho tho progenitor of ovor 2,000,000 lico. So wo easily understand how theso lico bocomo so numerous nnd destructive. While dry weather is especially favorablo to tho iticronsoof theso aphides wot weather, is usually qtuto tho reverse, i hub wo may hopo that tho numorous rains of this month Juno will lessen tho injury of tho peat. Had tho rains been earlier this would certainly havo boon true, nnd thoro Is good reason to hopo oven now.

Many farmers writo mo that thoy fear tho total ruination of tho crop. This is hardly to bo expected. If vory numerous tho kernels will bo much shrunken nud tlio crop much injured, but oven nt tho worst it is not likely that tho crop will bo destroyed. Liko most, if notall, species of aphides, theso grain aphis rarely appear in such destructive numbers for two successive seasons. Tlioir excessive increaso is so favorablo to tho iticreaso of thoir insect enemies that tho lico are ovorcomo aud nearly disappear.

Thus wo may hopo with good reason that tliiB incursion is only for this season. Owing to tho nature of tho casos artificial provontlon is quite impossible." una cnoLEiiA. "Hog cholorn is nn infectious discaso," says tho Western "caused by special microorganism which finds tho best powiblo conditions for growth utid multiplication in the tissues and lluids of tho hog. After tho death of thohost, tho gorniB retain their vitality for a certain length of lime. They still live in tlio dead body of tho host, in tho litter in tho locality, or iu tho soil; just how long wo cannot nt present say.

It is only manufacturers or dealers In com mcrcinl fortilhtcrs that will nndorrnto tho real value of farm manured.

Scion co recognizes its worth at nil times, aud tho following, from the roport of tho Geneva (N. Station, is a clear Htatemetit of the matter: "it is true many ex-poriinnntn havo been made which scorned to prove, if they provo that the application of manure was not only useless, but even harmful to tho crop under trial; still, doe nut one believe that taking two farms regarded an equal iu fertility, and treating one with thecarcfuHy-ljuubuuded manure producod Upon it forasotioft of years, while tho other should sell oil' crop) aud nuuiiro for a liko ponoil, tho former would maintain or, perhaps, Increase tg orlglual fertility, while the other would, eoouor or Inter, show ovidence of exhaustion in diminished crops?" It is tho hight of folly for nnyono from any experiment in which manure appeared to produce uo favorable oiled to claim that it no value. Such result can usually bo traceable to somo peculiar condition of soil or climate, and in uo liferent frum that obtained from commercial fertilizers. How often has the trial been made with tho principal elements of fertility, when a liberal two of ono seemed lo diminish tho yield from that whero nothing waa used. We have used dissolved hoisublnck upon corn when a given amount produced excellent rotiulUi, nnd doubling the quantity actually ro-dii cod tiie yield of grain, boiug upparontly a result consequent to un iucreosod growth of fodder.

It is plain to boscen that farming must he studied to be fully or even partially understood. vood von worriNd bk.ns. Tho best food for molting hone Is that rich iu nitrogen. Give them meat, milk, aud let tho grain food consist largely of bran, which will supply phosphates. Clovor, hay or grass is also excellent, and a variety may also bo given.

Ono reading theso notoi should first cnrofully study Iho paragraph from tha Holy Scriptures as Indicated abovo.l Subjects: FiitsT, Samuel's Ciiat.lenge ab to IIis OrnofAL Intkoiuty. Secondly, Samukl'h Expostulation "with the People fob Jnoo3iNa a Kino. FmbT: The Challenge. 1. Preliminary.

Tho timo had como for Samuel to resign as Judgo in civil matters, though ho continuod in ollice us to religious concerns. Ho delivorod farewell address. His great object was to acquit himsolf from all responsibility or blamo as to tho chango of government from a thooc-rasy proper to a monarchy. Was ho at fault? Uo appealed to the people Thoy had assembled to attend tho coronation of their King. (11: 14, 15.) For many years Samuel had rulod.

Had ho not been an honest oflicor? Could ono be found to accuse him of nny crimo or of any act unbecoming a ruler? Had ho not boon fair? Had nnyono boon dealt with in an unkind spirit? Had any criminal escaped punishment by buying off justico? 2. Time. Wo may dato tho lesson 2909 A. M. or 1095 B.C.

That was 2,931 yoara ago. 3. Place. Tho speech which is our lesson was delivered ntflilgal. (11:11,15.) It was ono of tho places in Samuel's judicial circuit.

(7:10.) Saul waa anointed ns King nt Itamah. It was in tho city where Samuol dwolt. 10:1.) Tho lot by which ho waa selected ns King was cast at Mi.poh. (10:17. His coronation took plnco at Gilgal.

Tho anointing was a private mattor between Samuel aud Saul. Tho results of tho lot wore known quite generally, but Saul had not yet received a formal recognition by tho pooplo. His great victory ovor tho Ammonites (11: 4-15) gave a good opportunity for introducing him to Israel as their King. Uonco Samuel called for a gathering at Gilgal of the representatives of tho Israelites for the Iiurposo of putting on his head a crown nnd in lis hand a scepter. As was fitting, thoro woro religious exorcises, 4.

The speaker. Tho solemn address at Gilgal was given by Samuol. He had become old and grayhcaded. (8:1,5.) Ho waa probably not far from 70 years oi ago. ito lived lor about years longor.

Ho anointed David as King. Ho bo-gan a moro boy to assist 11. After tho death of Ell ho becamo successor. His Government had been kind, houost, faithful. When ho challenged tho pcoplo to find any fault with him as prophet or ruler thoy all agreed ho was beyond criticism.

Unfortunately his two sons proved uutruo to their charge, condescending even to bribery. (8 3, 5.) Thoir conduct may havo had some influonco in driving tho pooplo to dornand a King. What incited them, howevor, most waa their desiro to bo liko tho surrounding nations. (8:5.) It is plain Samuel could not accodo willingly to tho change, considering it a reflection on his own integrity nnd specially an insult to Jo-hovah. Tho challenge of Samuel was uttered with intent to clear himself of all fault.

Though tho pooplo did not sco the point, yet Samuel led them to condemn themselves. If thoy could not show defects in his government of them, why then ask for a King? Sinco tho civil Government was then being handed over to another, it was importautSamuel sccuro tho assent of tho people to Mi own entire fidelity. G. TJte Hearers. Wo find from 11 14, 15 that Samuel appointed a.

time and place fur the coronation of Saul, Wo cannot suppose that nil tho Israelites assembled, but most of tho principal men of the tribes gathered at Gilgal. Samuol addressed thofiamo multitude who witnessed tho crowning of Israel's sovereign. Saul himself was ono of tho listeners. Ho was styled tho "anointed." (V.S.) G. The Challenge.

That was a bold demand mado by Samuel. The pcoplo knew him well. They woro uot slow to discover wrong nor modest in denunciation. They would havo been glad to givo noino apology for ricmandiug a King. And yot Samuel stands out boldly and challenges anybody to stato whether he knows of any act or word of Samuel which was fraudulent, oppressive, briby, dishonest.

No ono could say Samuel was a cheat, a bribo-pander, or any way worthy of being fouud fault with as prophet or ruler. 7. Suggestions. 1. So live as to bo ablo to appeal to society as to your integrity, houcaty, truthfulness.

Civil ollicers should not fear investigation. Men having financial trusts should not hesitate to muot auditing committees. It is right to bo concerned about one's good namo. Bo liko Demutrius. (3 John, 12.) 2.

Officers should notstoal, dofrnud, oppress, nor accept bribes. 3. Call God to witnoss in civil oaths and ro-ligious vows, (V. 5.) 4. Show rovcrenco for thoso ovor you in civil positions.

That was great respect manifested by Samuel for Saul when tho prophet said, "and beforo his nnointcd," tho King. (Y. 3.) Secondly: Samuel's AniiAiaNaicKT of tub iguaelites 1011 asking to have a Kino. 1. Having arraigned himsolf Samuel next brings tho Israelites to account for their request to have a King.

No reason existed iu auy defects or wrong-doing of Samuel whoroforo he should bo laid aside as ruler and a King be demanded. Now ho proceeds to show that tho theocracy had not been a fniluro; that under Judges God all along hud como to tho defense of tho pcoplo; that Jehovah could not show them greater favor under a monarchical government than he had during the timo that the lino of Judges was iu power. God hud been so constant iu his caro of thom that any act of theirs reflecting on his gooduess, capacity, or suuicloucy wsis proof of ingrntitudo and want of wisdom. God was so lenient to thom that rather than utterly refuse and disappoint ho consented to tho experiment of their having a temporal King. Iu tho faco of all theso factB Samuol expostulates with tho people.

Wo uotico Samuel is uot disloyal to tho King, Saul, but ho takes pains to convince tho pcoplo that they must not count Jehovah out of existeuco nnd power, as though a human King wero a substitute for Deity und mado pooplo independent of divine government. It was well for Samuel to secure tho commendation of tho people beforo he gave them a thorough chiding for their ill-ttoatment of Jehovah. Thoy would rccolvo tho moro kindly his admonitions just after assonllng to his integrity. Tho speech wostudy shows how much God did for his pooplo without their having a King of their own numbor and kind. Surely moro could uot be expected under a human monarchy.

2. Time, Place anil Hearers. Theso all agree with tho samoaB thoso stated In our study of 1 12: 1-5, as givou in notes above. 3. The Speech.

1. Introduction. Samuel calls for altontion. He was going to reason with them. (V.

7.) Thoy must apply their minds. "Stand still." Do not become impatient. Listen, and uQtico Jehovah was a hearer. 2. Tho argument.

This, in a word, was, lot well enough alono." Ho aald, in oitbet, "Yon havo had all tho guidance required. You have never gotten into straits, when God refused to help. You havo never wanted a military leader, wheu Providence did not raise up one. You think much of Mosea and Aaron, but the people did uot 6clcct thom. Jehovah gave them to you, and thoy led off in the Exodus.

When Jabiu attacked you through his Captaiu, Sisora, Barak was nt hand. When tho Philistines rose up against you, God sent to your relief Jophthah. Wlion Eglon lod tho Moabites to overcome you, Ehud rose up and brought you roliof. Gideon conquered tho Mediauites. Samson slow the Philistines.

After all those proofs of tho prosouco aud holps of Jehovah in emergencies you see no way out of dangor from Nahash oxcopt by havlug a King. Judges will not meet tho ease. Do you imagine God has uo moro Gideons and Johovahs aud Samsons." 3. Conclusion. Practically Samuol Baid: "But tho deed is done You havo your King.

God pormits tho chango of governments from a theocracy to a monarchy. Wo must tako things as thoy aro. It is uot SauJs fault ho is King. Ho did not seek tho oillco. Ho waa roluctaut to accept It.

Now you sustain now civil relations' You do. not, howovor, escape God. You aro still subjects of Jehovah you, along with your King; you aro all subjects of God, aud accountable to Him, tho Kiug for ruling well and you for beiug obedient subjects. 4, Suggestions, 1. God raises up man to meet the emergencies which bocomo tho turning points in history.

God to tho ultimate Eulex, No one hone must obey a civil governor when any roqulre-mont Is made contrary to tlio will of Jehovah, tho King of Kings. 3. Wo ought to considor all of God's wonderful nets in our behalf. 4. God hears us when we cry unto him, and that specially in times of great trial.

Pray. 5. Do not forgot God. Novor worship other but God. Away from idolatry.

Sorve God, fear him, obey him. Keep all of his commandments. Ho is tho King that rules over ua. G. Bumcmbor how God blesses those who aro truo to him.

and how ho punishes those who violate bis will; and lot such remembrance woo you into loving him moro and restrain you from over acting contrary to his will or commands.
