For proof of this assertion we quote the circumstance of Paul and Bar nabas after their re-commission, while on a preaching tour to vari ous cities and churches, amongst which Antioch was one, and per haps the last to which they visited. To this place certain men had come down from Jaruselem and taught the brethren that the Gentiles, whom Paul and Barnabas were re ceiving should be circumcised and instructed in the law, in contradic tion to what the apostles were practicing; whereupon the breth ren charged that they were guilty of supererrogation, in “going out side (as they thought,) of their bounds, and importing within their border an element of disorder,’ for which they had no fellowship and could not receive, consequently they determined the apostles should go up to Jerusalem about this question. There are various disciplinary lessons taught here of vital importance. What the object of the carrying of the apostles up to Jerusalem? The object was manifold. First: The great object was to maintain and perpetuate the puri- ty of the church. Second: That the matter might be thoroughly investigated by the church at Jerusalem. Third: Because there was no power on earth that had the right to investigate the matter, save the church at Jerusalem. The church at Antioch had no jurisdiction over them. She could bring charges and cause an investigation; the brotherhood in a church capacity, or in convention, had the right to do this, but the jurisdiction of a church does not reach beyond her own membership; hence their de termination to carry them up to Jerusalem. Bear in mind the great object was to maintain the purity of the churches. If we lose eight of the object, we lose the lesson to be taught. The point aimed at was to keep out of the churches what they re garded an “element of disorder”— the uncircumcised Geutiles. Their conversion and faith was not call ed in questiou, simply a “discipli nary question” is what gave rise to the trouble. The brethren persist ed in the claim that they should be circumcised and instructed in the law. Here is another lessOn of vital importance to the church. 'Sound gospel discipline is just as essen tial in perpetuating the purity of a church as sound doctrine, and per haps more so. We are taught this in the lesson. These brethren showed by their actions their love for God, and their allegiance to bis cause. They were acting in good faith. They could.not bear to see the church “polluted” by any “carnal touch” -without resort ing to such a course as in- their judgment would accomplish the great object aimed at—the purity of the church. They showed, furthermore, fay their actions that they fully under stood the' fact s’iat neither Anti och, nor any other church - had the right to hear the apostles as to their innocense or guilt, save Je rusalem. The apostles maintained, their innocence. lf And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them: ‘Men and brethren, ye The Loid had previously taught j Christ, and not being vervlengthy, Peter, by special revelation, that i we will quote it verbatim, There the line of demarcation between ; is too much importance in it to be the'Jews and Gentiles was abol- : lost or misunderstood, ished.

Wherein were all manner of four T footed beasts of the earth, ancL wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air, “And there came a voice to him saying; rise Peter, kill and eat.” But Peter said: “Not so Lord,for I have never eaten anything that' is common or unclean. And the voice spake unto him agaiu the second time, what God hath clean sed, that call not thou common.”— Acts 10-12 to 15. He, therefore, was fully prepared to say: “Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of per sons,” 34th verse; hence he. was an important witness in the case, and the testimony he boie Was truth, for it was a direct revelation from God. He being prepared of the Lord, was the right man in the right place and at the right time. This testimony proved that the apostles were right, and that the 'charges brought against them were without foundation, “Then all the multitude kept si lence, and gave audience to Bar nabas and Paul declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles them. And after they had held their peace, James answered, say ing, men and brethren,hearken un to me; Simeon hath declared how God at ihe first did visit the Gen tiles, to rake out of them a people for His name.”—Acts 15-12 to 14. . The testimony of James eoirob Jjates with that of Peter, and is conclusive, for “in the month of two or three witnesses, every word shall be established.” " Here : w.e have two witnesses testifying to the very same thing, which proves conclusively the in nocece of the apostles, that were not guilty of siipererrogatioD, but that they were in line with their (new) commis sion, to “go into all the world etc.,” meaning that they were at liberty to preach to, and receive and.baptise into the church all be lievers in Christ, irrespective of their nationality, making no differ ence between Jew - and Gentile. The ease is now made out, .the verdict a glorious.one—not guilty. Now the point we have been driving at is this; what is to be done with - the brethren - who brought the false charge? Here is a nice point to be made. Now to view the ease from a car nal standpoint, it really appears that the brethren who brought the charge is in a far worse "diJmema than was the apostles in the outset, but God’s way is always in contra diction to the dictates of carnality, for He worketh all things after the counsel of His own will, and none can hinder, or say, why doest thou? Notwithstanding the charge is proven to be absolutely false, no railing accusations are' brought" lo bear 'against the brethren,; no turn ing of the cold shoulder to them, no withholding of correspondence from them, not one of them is charged with erring, not one' of Them is advised to make a '“little confession,” not so much as to say I was “mistaken,” and thereby save the “publication of the whole mat ter,” No, thanks be to God, the “whole matter” was “published,” and it shows the spirit * that was predominating in the premises. To have brought railing- accusa tions against the-brethren as a re- butal of the false charges they had baought, would have been anti- christian, for the spirit of revenge is nothing short of the spirit ‘ of anti-Christ. The church at Jeru salem was not governed by the spirit of anti-Christ, hut by the spirit of the living God. Her ac tion toward the brethren prove it to a demonstration. Behold the 3 ove she manifests toward).them; know that a good while ago God even at the very time (hat carnali- mada choice among us, that the ; ty whould have said, give me re- Gentiles by my mouth should hear venge. But veuganc.e is mine, t we have heard, that certain - men went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your 3onls, saying, ye- must be circumcised, and keep the law; to which we gave no such commandment. It seemed good unto us, being assem bled with one accord, to send cho sen men nnto you with onr beloved Barnabas and Paul—men that have hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have sent, therefore, Judas and ■Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by monntb. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to .us, to Jay upon you no great er burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves ye shall do well. Fare ye well.” Acts 15— 23 to 30. Here is a ‘‘"corresponding” letter that never will be beaten in point of brotherly love and Christian for bearance, for it is full of the spirit ol Christ from beginning to end, and showing conclusively that though the brethren did through inadvertency bring false charges against the Apostles, they were not held as though they had violated some “gospel principle.’’ Why? Because the very act within itself shows that they were endeavoring to maintain- gjspel order, and perpetuate the purity of the church; hence, the brotherly admonition to “abstain from meats offered to idols.” Herein the church at Jerusalem showed her approval of the zeal manifested by this act of the breth ren, and availed herself of the op portunity to advise them to con tinue to maintain gospel order and the purity of the church by ab staining from “meats offered to idols.”. Now, in order to show the evil that grows out of the “eating of meats offered in sacrifice to idols,” we will quote what is suid to the church at Corinth. “As concern ing, therefore, the eating of 'those things'that are offered' in sacrifice to idols, we know, that an idol is nothing in the world; and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many) but to us there is-but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus - Christ, by whom are all things,-and we by him. f How- beit there'is not in every man that knowledge; for some with con science of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol, • and Iheir conscience being weak is defiled. But meat corn- men defch us not to God: for nei ther, if we eat are we the better; neither. if we eat not are we .the- worse. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idols temple, shah not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to. eat those things’ which are offered to idols; and through thy knowledge shall the. weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethru, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.” 2 Corinthians, 8 —4 to 12. . . . Here are two-witnesses again tes tifying to the same thing, and showing why the brethren should not participate in thiDgs offered in sacrifice to idols. .There are three reasons assigned. First, though the brother whose conscience is strong, he who has grown in. grace will not utterly withdraw his lov ing kindness from his people.) Third, because in so doing he wounds the feelings of the breth ren, violates gospel ’ order, ignores the government of the church, and instead of glorifying, sins against Christ. Then not “one” of the brethren at Antioch is allowed to eat so much as “one time,” neither is one of the members at Corinth allowed to eat “one time”’ for “un to this hour” there is no brother that has the gospel right to exer cise such liberty. Why? Because “a little leaven leaventh the whole lump,” and though but “one” eat but the “one time,” the whole ohurcli becomes * contami nated with the “sin” - consequet thereof, and nnless measures be states in which this toothsome nut is cultivated. Good seed is the first requisite. The nuts retained for this purpose must-be kept per» fectly dry, ns dampness destroys their germiuetieg power. The shell must be opened and the geed extracted, only the plump, perfect peas with unbroken skins being used for seed. The planting is performed by a machine, with which one man can plant six or eight acres per day. Five pecks of shelled peas are re quired for an acre, and the time of planting is from the middle of May to the middle of June. The growth is upright until the plant is a height of eight or ten inches. Then the pea-shaped yellow blossoms appear, and the plant falls over adopted to divest herself of that and makes its subsequent growth sin she becomes ’heterodoxical in * n a procumbent position. As the practice as a whole, and is subject Petals of tbs flowers fade and fall to have fellowship withdrawn from her; for the admonition is to “purge out, therefore, the old leav en, that ye may he a new lump, as ye are unleavened.’.’ 1st Cor. 6—7 Purge, in this connection, means to cleanse or clear from guilt. How is this to be effected? It will be remembered that_it was said to the brethren at Corinth: “Ye are un leavened.” They did not, there fore, tolerate the gross sin of which &ne of their brethren was guilty, in that of marrying his brother’s wife, contrary to the hiwof Christ; and in order that they may not be come contaminated with the sin thereof, and to maintain their p.u- rity, their sovereignty must be re sorted to, for the question is asked: “Do rot ye judge them that are within? Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked per son.” 1st Cor. 6 —12 13. If they “keep the feast” with this “wicked person” they become partakers (leavened) .of his sin; therefore, they are admonished thus: “With such a one no not to eat.” Again it is said: “Now we com mand you, brethren, in the name o! our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that waiketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.” 2nd Thes. 3- 6. Here are two witnesses setting forth the manner in which the church must acquit herself in- or der to “keep herself unspotted from the world,” and by so doing she cleanseth herself from all guilt. This is the tradition (what was taught) which the churches received of the apostles, and if they are found walking in the tra ditions of the apostles,, who can lay anything to their charge? However, it is. necessary to “be ware lest any man spoil you(them) through philosophy and vain de ceit, after the traditiob of men, af ter the rudiments of the world,and not after Christ.” Col. 2—8. “Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word or onr epistle. Now onr Lord Je sus Christ himself;' and ; God; ever onr Father, which hath' loVed us, and hath given us everlasting con solation 1 and good hope through, grace, comfort your hearts, and es tablish you in every good word and work,” 2nd Thes, 3—15 to. 17, enabling you always to beware of the “tradition, of the of the elders. St. Mark 7—5; for it is through this - channel that the greatest church troubles eminate,” Homans 16—17 18; for “they , draw nigh unto God with their lips, but their hearts are far from him,” St. Mark, 15—8; “and by good words and fair speeches deceiyeth the heart of the simple,” Bomans 16 —18,'causing them to forget that “the/ law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple,” Psalms 19—1; but “Wisdom crieth without; she at- testeth her voice in the streets,” saying, “how long ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity ? Turnyou at my reproof, for ' the turning away of the’simple will slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso faeark- eneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1—20: 22: 23: 32: 33. Finally, brethren,, farewell. Eeheconnee, Ga_ —-/A the pods are forced into the soil, there to complete their growth and ripen the inclosed seeds. The crop matures about the time of the first frost of autumn. A plow is run under each row, cut ting off the main roots and throw ing out the pods, which adhere to the branches. The plants are then gathered and slacked around stakes, that are driven into the gronnd, strips being nailed across thp stakes near the bottom to keep the plants from coming in contact with the ground. These stakes are from seven to sight feet, high, and from three to five inches in diame ter. During the autumn and'win- ter the pickers build small fires, around which they gather, picking off the nuts' and sorting the well- filled ones from the partially empty pods. After the vines are stripped of the nuts they make a forage nearly equal to clover hay, and stock of all.kinds eat it greedily. A bushel of peanuts in the shells weighs twenty-two pounds, and sells for from five to seven cents per pound. They are put up in bags holding 100 pounds each. The average yield is about thirty bushels per acre, bat as high as 140 bushels have been harvested from a single acre. As to whether cotton seed meal is good for the bnttei daily, a cor respondent of the New York Trib une writes: “I introduced cotton seed meal as a food for'dairy cows in this section. I have (fed it eight years, the first four in connection with other grain feeds. The last four years • we have used nothing hut pure, sweet cotton seed .meal, except that while the eosvs are dry and on coarse fodder we give them such . grain' as we produce, and wlieat bran, the latter to bnild up and strengthen the osseous and muscular system, and to prevent abortion. As soon as the cows come in'fnll milk we give two ra tions of hay a day, a three quarts ration of cotton seed meal in the morning and two quarts at night, until turned out to pasture, when they get two quarts a day. When at hay, the morning ration of meal is mixed with six quaVts of sweet skim milk. Under this regimen we keep 25 per cent, more cows, and make fully 20 per cent, more butter per cow than by the other grain method. Three years -ago I was not able to secure enough cotton seed meal, and we used a half ration of that and the other half wheat bran, and the result was a loss of 75 pounds of butter in one week from onr dairy of fifty cows. I regard • the mauurial value of cotton seed, as observed by me, of very great im portance. Four years ago we ma nured one-half from com anchoats feeding,' and the other -half from cottonseed feeding; the latter cut double the hay. This year we sowed the f.ehl in buckwheat, and the ciop shows the same difference. 'Onf pastures are giving similar ev idence from the summer cotton seed rations. The enhanced value of the manure nearly pays the cost of the cotton seed. Slake Glad Hearts That are Sad.

Iu calling attention to this fact J. R. Dodge states that Great Britain consumes an average meat ration not over two-thirds as large as the American, France scarcely half as large, and Germany, Austria and Italy still less. The average con-' sumption of meat in the United States is probably not less than 175 pounds per annum. Of other civilized nations only Great Brit ain exceeds 100 pounds, and many scarcely average fifty pounds. The consumption of the cereals in thi3 country, by man and beast, is three times as much" in propor tion to population as in Furope. For the past ten years Jhe average has been forty-five bushels for each unit of population, while the usual European consumption does not greatly vary from sixteen bush els per annum. While all this is not used as food for man, no small part of it contributes to the meat supply. In the consumption of fruits the difference between this and other countries is marked. Small fruits, orchard fruits of all kinds and tropical fruits, as well ns melons of many varieties are in profuse and universal daily use in cities and towns, and in the country the kinds locally cultivated are still cheaper and more abundant. The consumption of vegetables is not excessive. He Would be Married.
