SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.
(Continued from Pag© 7.)
in everything by prayer and supplica
tion, with thanksgiving, Ifet your re*
quests be made known unto God. And
the peace of God, which passeth all
understanding, shall keep your hearts
and minds through Christ Jesus.”
(Phil. 4:6 and 7.) Many of God’s
children have not learned that a care
ful, worrying, anxious life is sinful.
They plead for such a life as not only
necessary, but as a kind of virtue.
Miss Havergal, in one of her beauti
ful poems, expresses this view:
“They tell of weary burdens borne
For discipline of life;
Os long anxieties and doubts,
Os struggle and strife,
Os a path of dim perplexities,
With fears and shadows rife.”
She thought that she, too must
tread this path.
“Oh, I have trod that weary path,
With burdens not a few,
With shadowy faith that Thou
would’st lead
And help me safely through,
Trying to follow and obey
And bear my burdens, too.”
Many of God’s people have such
shadowy faith they do not see how
it is possible to obey these words and
live a life of rest. We need God’s
Spirit to bring His Word to us as
He did to Miss Havergal. Through
God’s Word she learned the secret,
and thus she sings of her entrance
into the new life of fulness of trust.
“At last Thy precious precepts fell
On listening heart and ear,
A varied and repeated strain;
I could not choose but hear,
Inkling promise and command,
Like harp and clarion clear.
No anxious thought upon Thy brow.
The watching world could see,
No carelessness! oh, child of God,
For nothing careful be!
But cast thou all thy care on Him,
Who always cares for thee.
“Did not Thy loving Spirit come,
In gentle, precious shower,
To work Thy pleasure in my soul
In that bright, blessed hour?
"And now I find Thy promise true,
Os perfect peace and rest.
I never thought it could be thus,
Month after month to know
The rivers of Thy peace without
One ripple in its flow,
Without one quiver in the trust,
One flicker in its glare.
Oh, Thou hast done far more for me
Than J had asked or sought:
I stand and marvel to behold
What Thou, my Lord, hast wrought,
And wonder what glad lesson yet
I shall be daily tuaght.”
A TALK ON FARM POWER.
Every hour counts big with the modern
farmer. He could not possibly get along
with old fashioned methods. For there
are so many more things to be done each
day than formerly—and certainly the
days have not lengthened. So farmers
are crowding the hours. They are buy
ing time-saving machinery of every kind.
And thousands of farmers have solved
many of their problems with a. gasoline
engine. The practical, time-saving work
saving and money-saving advantage of a
good gasoline engine has been proved to
them and by them. It seems strange
that every farm is not equipped with
such power and the main reason for this
condition seems to be that many farmers
are not fully convinced or do not fully
realize the real value of a good gasoline
engine.
No matter how small or how large your
farm may be —a month’s use of the right
kind of a gasoline engine will make you
wonder how you ever got along without
one before. When you think of the
work it does —the time and the money
it saves—you will bless the day you de
cided to purchase one. For in running
the cream separator, wood saw, feed cut
ter, churn, grindstone, fanning mill,
corn shelter, thresher, shredder and the
many other farm machines —and for tfce
many special jobs on every farm —a good
gasoline engine is the most wonderful
helper of the day. It means steady,
economical power at a minute’s notice—
wherever you want it.
The good gasoline engines are remark
ably simple in construction, remarkably
economical in cost of running and re
markably strong and durable so they last
for years. We say “good” gasoline en
gines because those are the only kind
that are paying bld dividends to thous
ands upon thousands of farmers every
day. To choose a good one means close
investigation on your part. You know
you cannot afford to make a mistake. So
our advice is to first select a reliable line,
like the I H C for example, then find out
just what style and size engine meets
your needs best. You know just what
work you will have for such an engine.
You know the conditions surrounding
your farm. You may need a 25-horse
power, horizontal, water cooled engine or
you may need a 2-horse-power vertical,
air cooled engine. You may want a port
able, stationary or semi-portable outfit.
To give you an idea of how completely
some manufacturers cover the possible
needs of farmers, here are the styles and
sizes in which I H C engines are made:
1 H C Vertical engines are made in 2,
3 and 25 horse-power; Horizontal engines
(portable and stationary) are made in 4,
6,8, 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 horse-power.
Famous air cooled engines are made in
1, 2 and 3 horse-power, and the I H C
Hopper-cooled engines are made in 2,
2 1-2, 3,4, 6 and 8 horse-power sizes. And
the prize-winning International tractors
are made in 12, 15 and 20 horse-power.
There are also special sawing, spraying
and pumping oufits in the I H C line.
White on the subject of the I H C en
gines, their many features come to mind.
The thousands now in use everywhere
are certainly giving wonderful satisfac
tion and it is due to careful, extensive
experimenting, the selection of the right
principle first, then the selection of right
materials and the most expert workman
ship. These points are bound to lead to
extreme simplicity, absolute reliability,
wonderful economy, utmost durability
and abundance of power and strength for
whatever work you may have for them.
For a clearer understanding of how a
good gasoline engine is made let us go
over some of the points of the I H C
Victor Horizontal gasoline engines. They
are especially designed for general farm
work. They can be used anywhere. They
are equipped with electric ignition, so
that it is never necessary to have an open
flame near the engine, which would pre
vent its being used in insured buildings.
This engine is regularly equipped for
using gasoline, but with slight alterations
natural gas, alcohol or kerosene may be

IP MAJORITY OF FARMERS BE
Ji YOUR GUIDE IN BUYING TWINE
IHE time has come to order your binder twine for the 1910 harvest. Twine dealers are placing
orders for their season’s stock. The mills are running. Now is the time for you to decide the
twine question. It is something that requires careful consideration. The success of your har
will depend on the uninterrupted work of your binder, for no binder can work well if you use a
p grade of binder twine.
It is our aim to have every farmer who uses I H C twine go through the 1910 harvest season
out a break in the field. We have much more at stake than merely selling twine. Your interests
ours are the same.
We know that the raw materials from which I H C twines are spun have the quantity and quality
bre that insure greater strength than is found in any other twine. They are evenly spun—smooth
ting—do not tangle in the twine box—work well in the knotter, insuring perfect binding and
jet tying. They insure your being able to work your binder through the entire harvest season with
test speed and economy and are therefore practical profit insurance.
Those who buy cheap twine will certainly have trouble —delays due to tangles, knots and breaks
e loss of valuable time—and every delay at harvest time will cut down your profits.
a sure way to avoid this. Let the experience of the past be your guide in purchasing your twine,
of the majority of the farmers of this country is a safe guide. Their decision should have more
you than the statement of any twine manufacturer. These farmers know. They have the same
fronting them that you have. They have no axe to grind. They do not sell twine. They are
ed in results.
I H C Brand of Sisal—Standard Sisal
Manila or Pure Manila
Are the twines used by the majority of the farmers of this country. They have been proved to give the best
results. Eighty-five to 90 per cent of the farmers use Sisal. It is smooth running and works at steady tension
without kinking or tangling in the twine box —insuring perfect binding and perfect tying. Its only equal is the
really high grade Manila twines such as bear the I H C trade-mark.
Your interests and ours are identical on this twine proposition. We have more at stake than selling twine.
We are vitally interested in the successful operation of hundreds of thousands of binders. On their successful
operation depends our success—and we know they cannot operate successfully with poor twine. No binder
made can. For this reason we have given the twine problem careful study. When we say “Stick to Sisal or
high grade Manila bearing the IH C trade-mark”—we do so because we know them to be the highest stand
ard of excellence in binder twine.
But we don’t ask you to do as we say. We want you to be the judge. But your judgment to be right should be based on
facts—not on the statement of any twine man. And the fact is—that the majority of the farmers of this country use IH C twine.
Sisal or Standard (which is made from pure Sisal) comes 500 feet to the pound; high grade Manila, 600 feet to the pound; Pure
Manila, 650 feet. See your local IH C dealer at once and let him know how much you will need. If you want more facts on binder
twine, write direct to

used as fuel. The cylinder and jacket
walls are cast in one piece so that it is
easy to clean the jacket walls when nec
essary. The cylinder is especially design
ed to insure close compression of the
explosive charge—which gives these I H
C Victor engines their remarkable effic
iency. The hit and miss type of governor
is used, reducing the fuel consumption
to a minimum. The ignitor is positive in
action, and the ignition points are made
of a special material that withstands the
heat of the sparks as well as the effects
of corrosion and oxidation. The plunger
type of pump, made mainly of brass, and.
the value of right materials shows off
in the work that I H C engines are doing.
All the I H C engines are just as care
fully made. Which ever one meets your
need will serve you well. You should read
the I H C book, because it tells you much
about engines that you ought to know.
It’s a veritable mine of information on
good gasoline engines. We urge you to
get the I H C catalog from your local
International dealer at once. Let him tell
you about the I H C that will do your
work best. If you prefer, write directly
to the International Harvester Company
of America, Chicago, U. S. A., and they
will be pleased to advise you. But see
your local International dealer if you pos
sibly can and have a power talk with
him. Take the I H C catalog home
with you and study it. Your time will be
well invested, because the purchase of an
I H C engine will mean more to you
than you now think. You must have one
to fully appreciate its value.

according to the Baltimore News.
Jim had been recently married.
“How do you like matrimony, Jim?”
asked Col. Peterby.
Jim shook his head dubiously.
“What’s the matter?”
“Yer see, boss, before we were mar

“Now when I come home she bawls

The widespread sale of Harris
